Review Summary

Chez Chili is widely regarded as a standout destination in Montreal for authentic, flavorful Chinese cuisine, particularly favoring Sichuan and Hunan styles. Guests frequently praise the restaurant for its consistently delicious dishes, generous portion sizes, and efficient service, making it an ideal spot for sharing meals with friends and family. While the atmosphere is described as lively, cozy, and bustling, many diners appreciate the quick turnover and the fresh, bold ingredients used in classics like the General Tao chicken, eggplant dishes, and spicy fish. Although experiences with service and salt levels can vary, the vast majority of patrons recommend this location as a must-visit spot in Chinatown that delivers great value and an enjoyable, high-energy dining experience.

I had an amazing dining experience at Chez Chilli. Every dish we ordered was fresh, flavorful, & cooked to perfection. The sizzling beef was incredibly tender & juicy, served with perfectly caramelized onions in a rich, savory sauce that was packed with flavor. The stir-fried beef dish was equally delicious, with just the right balance of seasoning & freshness.

The mixed vegetables were crisp, vibrant, & cooked just enough to retain their natural sweetness, making them a perfect complement to the richer dishes. Even the noodles were well-prepared, with great texture & authentic wok flavor.

The portions were generous, & everything arrived hot & beautifully presented. The quality of the ingredients & attention to detail were evident in every bite. The service was friendly, attentive, & efficient, making the overall dining experience even more enjoyable.

If you're looking for authentic, delicious Chinese cuisine with generous portions & excellent service, I highly recommend Chez Chilli. Whether you're dining with family or friends, it's definitely a restaurant worth visiting. I'll certainly be coming back to try more of their menu!

A lively, cheerful spot tucked into a big downstairs space, where the energy is always buzzing. Dishes come out on large sharing plates, set on lazy Susans so everyone can dig in together - it feels social right away. The food strikes a nice balance: authentic flavors mixed with familiar crowd-pleasers, all done really well. It's the kind of place where you can keep it simple with a solid beer or wine, or go fun with a canned pina colada.

Great food! Lots of flavour & authentic. Lots of garlic & sauteed goodness, major downside is that they make you give them a 5 star review to get their deal on a free Coke. Attention to service is average at best. Quoting the server'give us five star review'. Some of the dishes had too much ginger if you're not into that but the fried shrimp was excellent 👌🏽

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!
