We usually order the special combo (2 soup, 2 appetizers, 2 main dishes, Chinese vegetables, steamed rice & fortune cookies) for takeout, 2 orders for $74.99 + tax for 2, so it comes to $149.98 + tax for the 2 orders. Today was the second time they tried to overcharge me by $50. When I saw the total for over $220, I told them it was wrong. They said you ordered extra dishes, except I hadn't, then oh, that's the price for the combo for 4, they said one or more ? of the dishes they gave me was bigger, then took the order back to the kitchen to reduce the size of the container/s. We enjoyed the Hot & soup soup, spring rolls, dumplings were so so, the 4 main dishes: beef & broccoli, Szechuan chicken with crispy spinach, pan fried noodles with chicken and shrimp and Szechuan shrimp were all excellent. I just advise everyone to pay attention to what you are being charged. What are the odds that I am the only one who they tried to overcharge twice in a row?

On the menu it says children under 4 are free, however they are eating and taking up a space but because she is older than four I would have to pay $20. They have lost a few customers because I will not be going back there.

For traditional Cantonese style food in Montreal, this is your go to spot. The restaurant itself is…read moreno-frills: simple plastic table cloths to make for quick and easy cleanup and turnover and minimal (no) decor. If you go at dinner time (6-730) especially on a weekend, you should expect to wait in line. But once you order, the service is quick and the food comes out hot. Some of my favourite menu items are the hot and sour soup, spring rolls (don't sleep on these!), fried chicken wings (that put KFC to shame), honey garlic spare ribs (once they're gone keep the plate so you can drizzle the sauce on EVERYTHING), chicken black bean, chicken and vegetable fried noodles, and salt and pepper shrimp. You'll probably leave with a stomach ache but only because the food is so good and the portions are so huge that you stuffed your face.

Read the positive reviews and visited for dinner. Came away underwhelmed. Nothing particularly bad,…read morebut nothing great either. Everything we ordered was flat-line on taste and flavor. Despite the forbidding, poorly kept exterior and stair landing, the interior dining area was clean. Food consisted of Vegetarian Spring Rolls (two absolutely tiny fried rolls with a flavorless yellow dipping sauce), Cumin Beef (perhaps the star of the show, relatively tender, with specks of dried chili - not at all spicy), Sweet and Spicy Eggplant (again, okay but lacked spiciness/heat and flavor), and rice, all washed down with marginally cold Tsing Tao beer. Portions were generous, service was hurried/at rapid pace for some reason, but lacked follow-up once the dishes arrived! The meal for two set us back CAD 58+ with hefty taxes and generous tips. Not a bad place by any means, but what we had was nothing spectacular!

Thought they were being dramatic when they said they had the best salt and pepper pork chops in Montreal but they were not, it was absolutely delicious, fresh light battered fry on perfectly seasoned pork that was cooked tenderly, not chewy at all. Would go back just for the pork. Noodles were good but nothing compared to the pork.

TL;DR/The Short Version: Hidden away Chinese restaurant with…read moremassive portions for low prices. Food very flavourful but also very greasy. The Long Version: So Amigo is a Chinese restaurant despite the Spanish name. Like 100% Chinese cuisine, not Mexican fusion, no Spanish influences. And if you've read any reviews of this restaurant on any platform you will see people raving about their salt and pepper pork chops. Like how they're the best pork chops they've ever had in their life, or how they had the pork chops multiple times during their short trip to Montreal. So I was really curious to try them. My husband and I went there for lunch on our most recent trip to Montreal. We shared the peanut butter wontons ($3.50), General Tao Chicken ($12.95) and of course the All Dressed Salt and Pepper Pork Chops with rice ($12.50). The portions were massive. Honestly, we could have just ordered the pork chops to share and we would have been happily full. Instead we were uncomfortably overstuffed, lol. The peanut butter wontons came 6 per order. We asked them to hold the sesame seeds and they accommodated. The peanut butter sauce was a bit runny and oily, but otherwise tasty. They added some chilli pepper paste to the sauce which gave it a spicy kick. The wontons were filled with ground pork. The General Tao Chicken portion was huge. I was hoping for some vegetables with it like bell peppers but it didn't come with any. The sauce was sweet, but not cloying. I usually like a spicy kick to my General Tao Chicken, but I still enjoyed the sauce. The meat inside was a bit chewy and tough; the texture tasted more like pork than chicken to me. And there was a lot of breading. I felt this was definitely a quantity over quality dish. It wasn't bad and I think it's good for the price, but I prefer my General Tao Chicken with little batter and lean breast meat and it was not that. The Salt and Pepper Pork Chops were very nicely seasoned. I really liked the flavours of this dish, but the pork chops are battered and deep-fried and so they were greasy. I think my arteries cried after this meal, lol. I also read in some reviews they were boneless, but our pork chops definitely had bones in them. The pork chops were fatty too. The dish came with rice with a fried egg on top and 3 pieces of Bok Choy and we got 4-5 pork chops. It was a lot of food. You definitely get a lot of bang for your buck here. Were the pork chops the best I've ever had in my life? No. But they were very good. Am I glad I tried them? Yes. Will I have them again? Likely not because they are too fatty/greasy for my tastes. This place is very popular. Lots of takeout orders while we were there. And a man came in who was a regular because the server asked him if he wanted "the usual, no bean sprouts?" and he nodded affirmative and proceeded to seat himself, lol. We were served by a grandma-like lady who was very courteous and efficient. My husband saw the chef in the kitchen and described him as "grandpa-like." Lol. There were 2 younger people there too, maybe the kids or grandkids, helping out. Looked to me like a family affair. I have a soft spot for businesses like that. The table next to us ordered Cantonese Chow Mein, Singapore Noodles and Pad Thai and their portions were also huge. And their food looked good too and not greasy like what we ordered, lol. I think next time I'll try something else not battered and deep-fried, haha. Review #3 (2025)

The two of us ordered the General Tsao chicken and a plate of crispy mixed vegetables (choy sum, baby corn, brocoli & carrots) to share.

Speedy service (my friend is a frequent patron) and the place is kept clean. Being a Sunday evening it looked like most of their orders were call-in for pickup. They survived COVID so they'll be around for awhile longer.

It was pretty packed, so we assumed the food would be good. It wasn't. Most of the food we tried made me question whether the food was safe to eat. There was a common theme: the food tasted stale and old, and everything we ordered came out in record time, which meant nothing was fresh. It gave us no time to enjoy our food -- McDonald's takes more time to prepare a meal. We ordered the pork, wontons, dumplings in peanut sauce, and duck. The duck was the biggest disappointment, both in terms of taste and cost-to-portion ratio. It was literally four small pieces of old, chewy duck that instantly put my stomach in shambles, and we paid over $20 CAD. All in all, our meal was $65 CAD, and we left so unhappy and feeling gross about what we had. We love Chinese food in hole-in-the-wall eateries and eat pretty much everything, but this restaurant just missed the mark.
