Review Summary

Hot Star Montreal draws mixed reviews, with many praising the chicken as fresh, crispy and juicy, portions that feel generous, and a wide range of flavors including the popular cheesy chicken and Korean style options; some customers also mention solid fries and a refreshing green apple yogurt drink, and a sense that ordering is quick and the food arrives piping hot, with some calling it the best fried chicken in town. Yet others report inconsistency, noting burnt or soggy chicken, a switch to chicken breast that some feel diminished the flavor, and on site order glitches that sometimes lead to refunds and no follow up. There are mentions of a fire affecting a western Montreal location and hope for a reopening, plus comments on a plain but clean interior and occasional French service. Overall, Hot Star Montreal remains a draw for fried chicken lovers and travelers, but experiences vary and price may be a factor.

I am obsessed with their deep fried mushrooms! They're so crunchy & addictive. Pricey but so worth it!!

Small & pricy, not the kind I would go daily, but would try once in wild!

As an extremely regular & loyal customer on uber eats & in the restaurant, the quality has died down quite a lot. Chicken isn't as crispy anymore, super soggy. I ordered this one ON THE SPOT & I don't know who does the chicken in the back but needs work to be like before. Took a bite & the whole soggy skin came off.. was really disappointed for both ones I got. Literally came out of the fryer only 5-10 minutes before I took a bite.

Very delicious chicken at a cheap price. There's a lot of flavors & options. We recommend the crispy chicken popcorn & the spicy flavors. Highly recommend this place for anyone traveling in Montreal!😀😀

The portions are very generous. You have to try the cheesy chicken, it is TO DIE FOR! I prefer the regular one over the spicy one - it is just too spicy for me, I find it numbs the delicious taste of the chicken.

Your order is always served freshly fried (takes about 15-20 minutes max), piping hot (I've never been served hotter food anywhere else before). The green apple yogurt juice tastes just like green Jolly Ranchers.

The place looks like nothing from the outside, but it's an actually decent option when you crave big fat fried bird meat. Clean inside, doesn't smell overly like oil either. You can be served in french sometimes.

Bearing in mind that I am a vegetarian, my review of the menu is limited. I came with a companion who ordered cheese stuffed chicken & was happy with the spice level. For me, there are plenty of vegetarian sides & drinks. The fries are surprisingly good! The outside is very crispy but the inside wasn't dry. There is a wide variety of specialty teas & drinks.
