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 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.
practice saying these words before entering the restaurant:
'i'd like the salt & pepper pork chops please'
then you'll do this:
1. open the super unassuming door
2. go up the narrow staircase
3. say hi to the aquarium
4. get seated
5. look at the menu & get confused by the section that's in complete chinese with zero english
6. say the words you practiced before entering
