Reviews for Hot Star Large Fried Chicken in Ottawa, ON
Went here to celebrate a friend's birthday and thought it was quite pleasant overall. Ordered the big family deal that they had... going and received three buckets of chicken, fries, spring rolls, and some dessert (taro and custard-filled buns). To begin,the aesthetic of the restaurant is atypical and the ambience is mediocre. I wouldn't recommend coming here to lounge around.However, the food was fantastic. We went for a late lunch around 1:30pm, but was thoroughly impressed by how fresh the foodwas. Be prepared to wait for them to cook your food (NOT fast food), but it'll be worth your wait. We got the spicy and cuminchicken (different orders) and were impressed with how well-flavoured, moist, and crunchy the chicken was. Now that's where the"great" of the restaurant ends. The fries were alright and could be seasoned better. The dessert was above-average, whereas thespring rolls are likely bought frozen and just reheated. Overall, if you order the chicken you'll be satisifed with yourpurchase. In regards to the service, the lady working at the cashier was extremely sweet, worked hard, and knew how to takecare of customers. If I was to give service a rating, she deserves a 5/5. However, the restaurant and management NEEDS to hiremore staff as our group wondered how she was suppose to manage everything on her own. So rating the restaurant, they ought tohire more workers to improve the customer experience and not over-work their workers. Overall, a 5/5 for service (from thespecific worker) and the chicken and a 2/5 for everything else averages out to a 3/5, mediocre dining experience. Read more
Highly recommend popcorn chicken with cumin &spicy. They have new flavours now. So yummy. ????
Asian fast food chain focusing on fried chicken and other fried items. Their original large fried chicken is the most popular... options and you can pick among several seasonings. They also have their own line of drinks (mostly carbonated + flavouring). Igot their fried chicken (spicy) a few times; it?s always juicy and crispy but under seasoned. The most recent time I asked toseason both sides but the flavour was still mostly spicy and nothing else. Also if you need napkins be sure to ask since theydon?t include them. Read more
I though the huge size was due to the pounding or the way they cut the breast but if you order the chicken pieces you will... notice that they are humongous as well. The taste was Ok but I could not help thinking this was some very heavily steroidinjected chicken I was eating. I mean the drumstick I ate was the size of my head! Well, almost. Mother nature does not makenormal chickens this size! Definitely do not come here if you are looking for healthy, minimal or no-chemical meat. This placeis definitely for those who value size over quality. Leave it for struggling students on a budget and the poor. I am sure youcan find better meat quality fried chicken in many other places in this area. Read more
