Amigo Restaurant comes through in these reviews as a dependable, budget-friendly Chinese spot with large portions and solid flavors that keep regulars returning for years. Diners repeatedly highlight the salt and pepper pork chops as a standout, along with generous plates, quick service, and a warm, family atmosphere. Many mention familiar favorites, fresh and authentic tastes, and a vibe that feels like a local staple rather than a tourist trap. While the atmosphere is described as cozy and unpretentious, some notes of inconsistency appear, such as a misstep with General Tao on one visit or changes in portions over time. Takeout experiences mention a tipping policy and a non-English section at times, and a few comments note that alcohol is not offered. Overall, Amigo Restaurant is seen as a beloved Chinatown staple where value, big portions, and friendly service drive the appeal, with occasional variation in dishes.
I've been here so many times over the last eight years, have brought my entire school class & most of my family & friends, just because it is such a gem of a restaurant. The plates are delicious & perfect for sharing, not expensive either. It's familiar faces & dishes, warm tea & unmatched flavours.
To the next time!
Amazing place I just discovered today, will definitely be back. The food was delicious, customer service was great, really calm & nice atmosphere around. Just wow! Thank you!
I come here often because the food is always tasty & fresh.
The flavors are authentic & never disappointing.
Friendly service & a place that feels like a second home.
Highly recommend if you want good, reliable meals!
If is too hard for u to give some attention to the one people seat. Why just walk away when people still talking & trying to order? So I am still need to pay for the tip, fair enough for you but not me
Salt & pepper pork chops are their specialty. The plate was served & could have easily been enough for 4 people. Also enjoyed the salt & pepper shrimp & a beef dish from here.

I cant believe I never posted a review after going to this place for over a decade. I grew up at this place & have been going here with family & friends. Such an affordable place to eat with quick service.
