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.
I don't usually do reviews, but this place is a winner! My brother & I strolled by & was curious & word on the street is, it's pretty damn good! We had the chow mein & salt & pepper chops. Get ready for a real authentic experience. I wish I can share my dish with all of you right now!
Been visiting this Montreal staple for over 15 years, & it's honestly one of my favorite restaurants in the city. The place may look quaint & unassuming on the surface, but the food here is pretty darn great! The salt & pepper fried pork chops are, hands down, the best, & an absolute must-try for any newcomers. 10/10, would highly recommend this place. Have been bringing friends & family here for years, & they can all attest the same.

Best salt & pepper fried pork chops. Biggest portions size for the price in Chinatown. Got some courtesy upon sittin, it was nice although scalding hot. Ordered the pork chops. They come with rice, a fried egg & bok choy. Everything was delicious. I always leave satisfied when I go to this restaurant. The service was nice & the atmosphere was cozy.
Felt like having quick Cantonese dinner, found this gem in Chinatown, after checking out the menu, we order young chow fried rice, the portion was good however the taste wasn't flavorful enough. Not salty enough & missing eggs & wok fire tasting (wok hay). Besides that only one waiter running the show, he was efficient & quick. Over all we ordered their two must order dishes, salt & pepper fried pork chops & chicken n shrimp with mayo sauce. Both dish was pretty decent, the portion to the pork chop was huge! Consumer Price index was over the chart! They must had 13 to 14 pieces of pork chops for under 14 cad. That is really good value! Besides that we ordered garlic stir fried buk choy, & bitter melon with black bean beef which was off the menu. Over all was great dinner with plenty of left over pork chops. I think we had like 7 pieces left. Will be back to this place when we are ever back to Montreal again.
Affordable prices & Perfect portions! Weekday's special lunch menus are also fantastic, In addition, They have probably the best & only 煲仔饭（Clay Pot Rice）in MTL! Me personally Pork Chop & clay pot rice are highly recommend. P.S.: Clay Pot Rice usually needs around 40mins to cook, so you can call them to order the Clay Pot Rice before, & order other dish when you arrive!
Cute resto upstairs in Chinatown. The food is always top quality. You have to try the salt pepper pork chop. They say they're the best & absolutely have won those bragging rights. They're incredible
