Amigo Restaurant is widely praised for authentic tasting Chinese dishes, generous portions, and very good value, with quick, friendly service and a welcoming, homey vibe. Reviewers highlight the salt and pepper pork chops as a standout specialty, along with plentiful plates that are great for sharing, and dishes that feel both traditional and comforting. The atmosphere is described as casual and unpretentious, making it a reliable hometown favorite in central Montreal, though a few notes mention a confusing menu, occasional billing issues, or an inconsistent takeout experience. Overall, it comes across as a dependable, family-run spot where quality and affordability meet to deliver satisfying meals.
The food came out very quickly after we ordered & the price was really good, the staff were friendly & attentive. The food itself was also yummy, but a little bit too greasy even for chinese food.
It is a gem. The food is excellent. They take time to ask you what you like & even tell us they have some specials dish today. I recommend. True style Cantonese food.
I got the #108 AD for togo & it was sooo tasty. Porkchop was fatty which I really love. Also the meat is tender. Staff was really nice. A must try ! I paid $16.90 for the meal & it was really worth it !

Gros insecte retrouvé dans mon repas, & en faisant des vérifications par la suite, j'ai découvert que ce resto a reçu plus de 15 000$ d'amendes. Ils devraient juste fermer leur resto pour eviter de rendre les gens malades. Jai publié une photo mais ils semblent l'enlever à chaque fois.
Don't let the strange name fool you. This place is FAR more authentic & better-tasting than the dumpling house next door (we walked over after being disappointed by the food there). Service was incredibly quick & kind as well.
It's a real shame they get so little traffic compared to the other restaurants on the block. It's probably my favorite Chinese restaurant in central Montreal.
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!
