Amigo Restaurant

Hello friends! Grayson and I haven’t been out for Hong Kong cafe food for a while so we decided to get some after our day out in Richmond. We usually go to deer garden but it was one of those days where we just wanted to try something new so we went to Amigo restaurant. Although Amigo Restaurant is a Hong Kong cafe style restaurant, their prices were on the higher side compared to most we have been to before because dishes were $15-30 each.

Chicken curry

★★★

We started off with the chicken curry ($15.50). It came with a large side of rice but we decided to mix the two together so that the curry sauce could soak into the rice. The curry was mild and filled with potatoes, chicken, and onion. We enjoyed the coconut notes of the curry and it was even better with the rice. It could have used a bit more spice but otherwise, it was pretty good.

Portuguese chicken with rice

★★★

The other dish we got was the baked Portuguese chicken with rice. We both expected the dish to come with tomato sauce but it came with a yellow sauce instead? Neither of us were sure what the sauce was made up of exactly because there wasn’t a distinct flavor to it. Even though it was Portuguese chicken, it was nothing like what you would find at Nando’s. In addition to chicken, the dish also had slices of hot dogs, tomatoes, bell pepper, potatoes and olives. An interesting mix of toppings but it was surprisingly alright.

Quick bites:

1. large selection of food items
2. food is pretty good with decent portion size
3. on the pricy side which makes us unsure about coming back again
