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.
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.
A hidden gem with the most cheap price you can find in 2024. It's about 10-14$, you won't find that anywhere anymore. &, it's so good. If you compare the mayo chicken shrimp with some other spot, it's different but good in its own way.
Friendly people & a wonderful spot for lunch! How do you beat 9.50 for a lunch special, with added spring roll & soup, in Montreal? As out of towners, we love finding gems like this place & will return when we're back in your city. Try the beef chow mein & won ton soup. You won't be disappointed!
