When we order Chinese food from Montreal Chinatown, we usually go to the same locations. This time we wanted to try something different.. it was slightly difficult to find the restaurant as we didn't realize that it was located on the second level. Once we got up the stairs, we had a look at the menu & ordered the dishes that we wanted. The food was prepared quite quickly.. everything was ok
Picture this, you're walking the night streets of Montreal Chinatown wondering what's still open. You come across this door with a staircase that leads upstairs & an Aquarium. You decide, "why not?", lets give this place a try. You walk up & are greeted by the waiter. You ask him why the place is called "Amigo", & he replies "well aren't we friends". & he's right, the moment you walk in, that's how you feel, like friends. Looking at the menu, there's a bunch of hidden little gems to cure your cravings. After having visited my Amigo a few times, I can tell you right now that the two things you guys should try is the Hot Sale (porkchop), & the Chicken Mayo. That stuff is absolutely bussin fr. best spot in chinatown hands town, i won't even let someone debate me on this. if you think i'm wrong you're delusional af thanks!!!!
My review is quite generous, the place was good. Finding it was difficult because it's upstairs & there wasn't a sign that I could see. The food was ok, the general Tao was a bit hard to chew compared to other places that I usually eat the same dish. The beef fried rice was phenomenal but the Cantonese chow mein was disgusting. It was more like noddles & a thick gravy poured on top with tasteless shrimp sooooo, don't recommend that. The atmosphere was traditional but a bit lacklustre in terms of lighting & environment. That was probably due to us being seated in a tight corner. The waiter was nice but cluttered as he was the ONLY one to be waiting at least 4 tables, checking out & doing Uber. He was doing too much by himself making wait times longer. More staff needed? Perhaps.

Pour le prix du lunch, 9$50, vous en aurez pour votre argent. La soupe + le plat parmi un choix d'une vingtaine de plats + un mini nem valent le tarif. Par contre, le service est trop rapide, voire expéditif & à la caisse tips de 15% minimum obligatoire. J'avais pris le plat côtelette poivre & sel, les meilleurs de Montreal d'après ce qui est indiqué. N'ayant pas de comparaison, je ne peux les contredire mais c'est très gras 😥.
