We love the hot star chicken!!! We ordered the large chicken with sweet potato fries. The chicken was delicious, we chose chicken salt as our flavouring. The chicken was huge, tasty and moist. The fries were equally delicious. We will definitely order from here again.

The food that you can see getting cooked right in front of your eyes, is the best type of food that you can trust on gorging on blindly and without any guilt. Hotstar chicken is a gem of Melbourne, the one best food that you can't miss it when you're in this city.
The chicken is truly as big as the size of your head, and definitely it's pretty huge for one person alone. Theor menu offers many different types of chicken and sweet potatoes treats, but their star of the menu is the original hotstar chicken, the large fried chicken, that the courteous and friendly staff will prepare for you right in front of your eyes. Oh that sound of chicken being fried in hot oil is so relaxing as well as tempting enough to wait for it, and bite into that hot oozy fried giant chicken topped with your favorite type of salt either chicken or chilli or salt n pepper or cajun. My all time favorite type of salt is chilli, which adds a little spice to that giant fried chicken making it so yummilicious.
And the cost of it won't burn a whole into your pocket, just 9 bucks and and your dinner/lunch is readily available and that too so scrumptious.
This giant fried chicken from hotstar is one of a kind and is hard to find anywhere in the city. Moreover, the chicken is prepared in a hygienic way, so that means, there's not a chance to feel sick to eat this amazing fried chicken unlike KFC.
The end result of the fried chicken is that the chicken is soft, tender, juicy yet the right amount of crunch on the outside, it's hard not to fall for this delectable giant fried chicken. Cooked to perfection and whenever I walk past their stores, it satiates my taste bud, thus making me drool. Trust me, hotstar will definitely make you addicted to it but in the good way. Foodies of Melbourne and new tourists to this city, hotstar is definitely a great meal option for you.
Always on the lookout for something new to try, this Taiwanese fried chicken caught our eye walking down Swanston Street. There are a few of these booths across the city and suburbs, and there is a great reason why.
The booth area is clean and tidy, and the staff and service are excellent. It takes about 5-10 minutes to wait for your food to be cooked, but it's definitely worth the wait. We had a large serve of the popcorn style chicken with a spicy coating, and they were outstanding. So much better than anything you will get at KFC, these tasty little morsels are full of flavour and incredibly juicy. There was also some tasty greens included which were als flavoursome. This chicken is totally addictive, service is fabulous and I can understand why this franchise is peppered all over the city.
We grabbed a serve of chicken pop on our way to dinner after wanting to try this for a while now but not really up to the massive fried chicken as we'll be eating again soon.
Luckily there wasn't much of a line and after waiting for a bit we got our chicken pop served freshly fried with chicken salt. The chicken pieces was tender and juicy coated in a thin crunchy batter. With the added salt, it hit home for flavours so definitely comparable to some of the better chicken pop we had in Taiwanese restaurant. If only there was more in the serve as they were gone in an instance.
Worth it! juicy and succulent, crispy on the outside tender on the inside, just perfect! It was so good I was biting off the bone at the bus stop shamelessly ...

... We've seen hot star many times and agreed perhaps it was a try once thing (along with the deep fried corn dog and mars bar) but never actually gotten around to it, though today with the 50% original slab almost the size of my face it was an offer too good to refuse.
Hot star fried chicken is always a winner for me . Situated right next to my favourite Gong Cha , you really can’t go wrong . The chicken is always crunchy , juicy and tender and seasoned to perfection . I also love the deep fried mushrooms 🤭
Hotstar fried chicken is always a must for a hungry night.. I always love their chicken and the batter that they coat it with.. I had their salt and pepper.. quality was standard and did not vary too much from what we had in the past..
And yes it is ridiculously oversized for a piece of chicken..
One of my guilty pleasures is Hot Star fried chicken. The hoards of Asian students across Melbourne's CBD lining up for Hot Star cannot be wrong! Literally a chicken (including bones) flattened, crumbed and deep fried. Think chicken parma but you eat it with your hand. I like the garlic salt and chilli seasoning. For $8.50, it's a tasty snack.
Service was good, chicken was crispy good quality and tender. However was quite pricey but good for the occasional treat! Will come back for special occasions another time!
Hot Star Fried Chicken is a great Taiwanese street food vendor in the heart of Melbourne. They sell fried chicken, fried mushrooms and even fried squid!
Their signature item is the large fried chicken. It’s huge, the size of my head and sells for just $9. The meat is so juicy and tender. You can choose from 6 salt flavours – (Salt and Pepper, Chicken Salt, Chilli, Cajun, Plum & Cumin.)
I also got a serve of fried mushrooms. These were so succulent, with a great crunchy batter.
I’ve been visiting this stall for years. It’s fast, cheap and delicious.
A must-visit for Melbourne’s fried chicken lovers.
Great fried chicken with super tasty sides.
The cutlet is delicious and normally doesn’t come with too many rib bones. The sides are all great with sweet potato fries and the fried mushrooms my favourite. Much faster cooking time compared to similar places nearby so if you are in a hurry this is the place to go.
I got some chicken here, it was pretty good but not amazing. I enjoyed it but couldn’t eat the whole thing. Worth a try but I would probably get kfc next time.
