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.
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
follow all of this & you'll have a blast

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.
***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.

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.
I don't usually like fried pork chops but since the salt & pepper pork chop was the specialty decided to try it & wow!! Such a good flavor & enough for two people to share if not super hungry 🥰🥰🥰 Casual eatery, card can use if above $10 which is easy to meet with any entree
Hidden Gem. It's lowkey, but great food & super affordable prices! I come here quite often, & I LOVE their signature salt & pepper pork chops ! It's casual atmosphere. Once we were a group of 7 & I paid less than 100$ for the shared meals & we were quite full at the end of the supper. That's crazy! 10/10 ✨️
I love Amigo. You MUST ALWAYS order the salt & pepper pork chops! Everything else I've had there was also very good. I could eat there every day. Great prices, too.
Hole in the wall gem! Owner is really sweet. She gave excellent service, & the food was full of flavor. I highly recommend the salt & pepper pork chops!!
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 here twice with different sizes of parties & both times were excellent. Both parties unanimously agreed that this is the best salt & pepper place in Montreal & we will be frequenting again. Serving portions were big & greatly priced. Both the lady & gentleman serving us both times were friendly & kind & gave us good recommendations. Gem of a place.
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.
