Chez Chili is widely praised for authentic Sichuan flavors, bold spice, and generous portions that offer good value, with standout dishes like General Tao, salt and pepper shrimp, eggplant with pork, mapo tofu, and Hunan specialties frequently highlighted; multiple comments call it the best Chinese in Montreal's Chinatown and a reliable go-to for spicy, well seasoned dishes, including tofu options and vegetable dishes; the atmosphere is described as cozy and basement-like, sometimes noisy, with fast service that can feel rushed during peak times; several reviews commend friendly, attentive staff and quick turnover, while a few report inconsistent service, attitude around tips, or slower moments, and some hygienic concerns such as not seeing hands washed or occasional cleanliness issues; takeout can be problematic at times with missing or late orders, and there are occasional complaints about spice levels not matching expectations or dishes arriving not as spicy as advertised; overall the food is delicious, authentic, and worth a visit, with many plans to return despite some caveats.
Editing my comment to resposnd to owner:
First read my comment carefully. I didnt say that you gave a free drink for 5 star review.
Before talking about other's behavior, make sure you have those good behavior & good service.
Opionion on your food's quality doesn't bother you. This is the clear sign of quality of your restaurant. Paying a lot to enjoy the food & ambience, but i had very bad experience in both.
This is my review. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE, OILY FOODS.

Service: not welcoming
** Don't trust reviews from google, most of them are for a free drink **
Fried chicken- call it as fried flour, i need to search chicken in that flour. Too oily & not even 10% chicken.
Stir fried chicken noodles : i ordered stir fried chicken noodles, but they served a plate of oily noodles. & hardly 2-3 pieces of chicken.
Please be aware. Don't take risk.
& the most funny part is, tips starts from 18% for their rude service🫣
I ordered & never received order, I placed & call them to cancel order as it was wrong order, initially order was saying 30 mins to prepare but as soon as I called, they asked me to contact uber one & meanwhile change order status to complete, worst experience, I will rate Chez Chilli 0
Cheerful & bustling spot in a giant downstairs room with big savory sharing plates placed on turntables atop round tables. Casually tasty & relaxed happy vibes. Mix of authentic flavors & dishes alongside crowd favorites. Solid beer or wine, or a pina colada in a can. Get a reservation!
In Montreal.. kinda hard-to find.. but hole in the wall type of place.. ordered a spicy chicken & fried rice chicken. Service was fast but kinda rude... food was fresh made & delicious... little too salty but was good.... chicken was tender & flavorful with hot heavy spice.. delicious... vegi rolls sucked .. not fresh but microwaved.....prices were reasonable.. parking kinds sucked .. will come back if in the area.. try other dishes..
