I absolutely love this place. My fav is the cheese fried chicken breast. Definitely have to be patient with anyone a strong accent and it's worth it

Amazing, 10/10 service great chicken

Better and cheaper options out there, overrated for what they advertise themselves as. Wait time is tiresome and chicken is okay at best. Prices are wayyyyyy too high for what you get ($14+ for a piece of fried chicken). My experience at this location was very poor as the cook had incorrectly prepared my order. Called the restaurant to notify them only to hear that they no longer had the item available and was hung up on by the owner... DO NOT RECOMMEND, AVOID.

Not worth it for the price. $15 for a piece of fried chicken that is lukewarm and soggy. I ordered a fried cheese chicken and they made it spicy when I told the cashier I did NOT want it spicy. Don't recommend, there's better alternatives out there Hotstar is nothing special, mediocre at best.

This was my second time coming to Hot Star since the first time it was delicious, the service was great and only took 10 minutes. Today I went there for my second time and it was absolutely horrendous the cashier at the time was a young girl maybe in her 20's, I ordered 2 of the korean style chickens, one spicy BBQ chicken, and two of the regular cheese, I didn't bother to look in the bag since the first time was great, I went home and opened the bag to find, the two korean style chickens, a REGULAR BBQ chicken, and 2 SPICY cheese chickens, I immediately called the restaurant, the person who answered didn't pick up until the 7th ring and it was the owner, I told him everything and that I wanted a refund, he was very rude and ignorant while answering my questions and hung up on me right when i was going to say my final question. 71 dollars wasted today. never coming here again.

Got the spicy fried chicken and it was awesome. Big portions, really tasty, and the staff member was very nice. Probably the best fast food Fenech fries I've ever had, too. Definitely coming back.

Real Taiwanese flavour, whenever you miss Taiwan or you want to know the Taiwanese flavour, try this, you will definitely like it

Went an hour before close to put in a large order and they were shut. Don't understand how you expect business like this. Won't be back unfortunately.

Great place to get an authentic taste of authentic Taiwan street food.

Showed up at 9pm on a Sunday and it should have been open until 11, doors were locked but sign said open. Saw owners turn lights off and leave...
Consistent franchise. Just as good as the North York and Downtown Toronto locations

Good chicken buy way to expensive. You can get good fried chicken elsewhere for a much better price.

Cheese fried chicken is so good!! Highly recommend

While the seasoning and the batter may be similar to what is available in Taiwan. Who doesn't debone their chicken cutlets? Chicken breasts weren't flattened or deboned like they should be. XXL chicken should be big and flat.

I think it's incredibly expensive ($15) and long wait time (12 min when I'm only one there) but i will say the Cheese Chicken is definitely worth a try if you've never ordered from here.
