This was one of the worst meals I've had. I ordered takeout and I know they were busy but it…read moredoesn't excuse. They suggested rice. I ordered it and they didn't include it. Although I paid for it. I didn't figure it out until I got back. The smash cucumber salad was fine. But the spicy chicken was neither spicy. And honestly I felt like I got the last bits from the pan. It was so over fried that it was hard. It was not spicy at all. In fact it had almost no flavor. I ended up throwing it away. I just couldn't bring myself to eat it. And I never ever waste food. But it felt like it would be a waste to eat it because it was so bad. It wasn't just bland it was just bad. I went there because it had good Google reviews but then when I opened it when I got home to see what I missed I see that it says there were suspicious, high rated reviews being removed. Disappointing and I definitely would not recommend.

In Montreal for a few days and our hotel is near Chinatown so roasted duck is on the menu. The…read morerestaurant is a bit hard to find because it's in an office building but it's the first one to the right once you're there. The decor is a bit dated but we took the food to go so it didn't really bother us. The young lady who helped me was really nice and patient with all my questions. We ended up getting the combo with double portions of duck. It came with rice, and we ordered a side of side of bok choy. The duck was super flavorful. Whenever I eat duck, I want to dip it in a soy/siracha/sesame oil sauce but this duck did not need it. It was so good on its own and the juices flavored the rice really nicely. The pickled veggies were really good. The onion salad thing threw me off at first but it got better the more I ate it. The only thing that would've made the meal better was if there was oyster sauce on the bok choy. All in all, super amazing duck,m. I think I'm going to go back before my vacay ends.

We were in Montreal the week of May 10. This restaurant was recommended by our hotel and a…read moredifferent person so we decided to give it a try for a late lunch. It was a disappointment. The location is difficult to find because it is inside an office building. The ambience was more like a fast food restaurant. They were playing interesting music on their system. It was a bit noisy and our table looked over a very sketchy alley. I ordered the barbecue pork with Vermilion soup. The pork was cut into large pieces that made it difficult to eat. It was not very tasty. The Vermilion soup was very bland. It almost tasted like hospital food. The waiter never came by again to find out how we liked our meal or if he could get us anything else. When it was time to pay our bill, it was a typical situation in an Asian restaurant where you go up to the cash register and they take care of you. We will not return.

Great for a fast delicious lunch. Friendly waiter went above and beyond for our table. The place isn't fancy but sit your ass down and choose one of the many delicious options on the menu.

Would love to go back and try more things on their menu!

Amazing Chinese food…read more Crowded with an all Chinese clientele - and all young people to boot. That is almost always an excellent sign. Very few American-Chinese//Canadian-Chinese dishes on the menu - though they exist. This may be a regional Chinese restaurant but I do not recognize the region. One visit and three dishes convinced me I have to go back rather than just eating around town. In the not to be missed department: Mushrooms fried in egg yolk. These are the most interesting fried mushrooms you will ever have. They are also the richest fried mushrooms you will ever have. You will adore every single bite - and if you are lucky you can eat 1/3 of a serving before being totally full. I believe the trick here is that the batter is 100 percent egg yolk no white no nothing else. They also do a salt and pepper tofu that is creamy on the inside and crispy on the outside. How often do you see that? Braised seafood in ginger and garlic is the same dish you see in many other Chinese establishments but is lovely here. The squid is tough but the ginger is to die for. I am eager to get back. * * * * P.S. I DID get back. We ordered five more dishes. The amazingness quotient continues. Don't miss their fried spareribs.

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)
