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.
They are decently priced & their portions are huge! Loved their salt & pepper calamari & sesame beef. The service was good. It's a bit difficult to find the place if you aren't looking for it, I almost missed it but it's definitely a hidden gem! Close to the subway too. Will be coming back!
I came here specifically for the salt & pepper pork chops as I read so many reviews about how this place has the best salt & pepper pork chops in Montréal. So it was a must try for me. I live in Québec City & can't find any authentic made meals from different cultures. I ordered the lunch special of the pork chops & the pork chops did not disappoint, although I wish they were a little less breaded. The lunch special comes with a dumpling soup which was delicious. The broth was so good & the dumpling good too. Overall, delicious meal. I even asked for extra onions & peppers on the side & they gave me a small container of them to go with my meal. I love the small, quaint & home style feel of this restaurant in Chinatown. I shared a table with a lovely couple since I was one person. Love meeting new people. Staff was friendly & very accommodating. Food comes quick, hardly any wait for anything. I will definitely return.
Their food are trully irresistible & delicious.
I will definitely come back again.
Try one of their best seller: salt & pepper pork chops.
The dining area is not fancy but the number of customers dining are true evidence of their delicious food they serve.
Great value for money, portions are huge & prices are unbeatable. We've ordered takeout here many times in the last couple of months & they never disappoint. The staffs are very friendly & attentive.

***February 8, 2025 update. Not sure if it was because the chef in the kitchen was different that day but the salt an pepper porkchops we ordered that day was completely different than what I have remembered over the last few decades. Not sure if I'd ever come back due to this. ***
Things have changed since I last gave this place a 5 star review. Dish quantity has been scaled down noticeably. The only thing I can recommend here now is their salt & pepper porkchops but even then I am sure another location would offer it too. This place is no longer my go to place in Montreal. I'd rather just drive to the southshore to my now 100 percent go to place.
Very good food & big serving especially their porkchop! The pictures dont do justice. Try this restaurant & i promise it wouldnt disappoint!! The guy staff (i think he is the owner) is very friendly & accomodating!!
Took peanut butter dumplings, its cheap, doesnt taste anything, really spicy. Shanghai noodles ; taste absolutely nothing, not even salty, chicken is sloppy. 2 stars for good prices
Huge portions. Excellent value. Very flavourful food. My husband & I shared the famous All Dressed Salt & Pepper Pork Chops with Rice, General Tao Chicken & Peanut Butter Wontons. The pork chops were way too greasy for my liking, but my husband loved them. I enjoyed the flavour, just not all the fat. The General Tao Chicken was oddly tough & chewy but the sauce was fantastic. I loved the peanut butter wontons.

We stumbled across this awesome restaurant while walking through China Town in Montreal. It's like we stuck gold. Great food, great portions & great service. What else do you need? We will back!
Food & service was mediocre. I was charged 15% tips at the cashier at the end without consent, they just calculated the bill for me & included the tips on my behalf. I usually tip above 15% at restaurants, but it's rude to have included that amount in the bill without seeking my permission.
Very small & cozy space with a nice ambiance. The staff were very friendly & willing to accommodate our dietary needs (we don't eat pork so they substituted with chicken in our chosen dish). Food was delicious & portions were satisfying, all while somehow being incredibly inexpensive. A nice, chill dining experience that I would recommend.
