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.
Absolutely delicious! The Sichuan dishes are bursting with flavor & spice. You can really taste the authenticity. Great service & warm atmosphere. A must-visit for Chinese food lovers!
Had a really good dinner here. The food is amazing & the service is really quick & friendly. We did the twice cooked pork & the general tao chicken. The pork dish was very authentic & quite spicy which we liked. The general tao chicken was also really good. I wish that dish had some vegetables that came with it. Looking forward to our next visit to try some other dishes.
My family & I had an amazing dining experience at Chez Chili! The food was bursting with authentic flavors, & the portions were generous. The staff was incredibly welcoming & made great recommendations from the menu. The ambiance was lively yet relaxing, creating the perfect setting for an enjoyable meal. Whether you're a fan of spicy dishes or prefer milder options, there's something for everyone. Will definitely be returning soon!
Ordered on Uber eats. Food portions are large & packaged with care to avoid spills. I had the general tao chicken, the Singapore noodles & the braised eggplant. I'd recommend all 3 dishes!
We had the braided pork with eggs (a gourmet highlight), sizzling beef rib (very good), & spicy Chinese cabbage (tastier than the meat dishes). Everything was good, generous. I've really got nothing but good words for that place.
I recently dined at Chez Chili located & I must say it was a delightful experience. The restaurant offers a cozy ambiance that complements its vibrant menu perfectly. The staff were incredibly friendly & attentive, ensuring that our dining experience was top-notch. We tried several dishes & each one was a testament to their commitment to delicious meals & tasty cuisine. Chez Chili truly stands out for its quality dining & I can't wait to visit again!
Delicious & affordable food. You order many dishes to share (not really for individual portions). We were 8 people, we ordered 8 dishes & it was about 19$ per person before tips. Great place for a quick lunch with coworkers!
This place is so unassuming & yet what a treasure! I have food sensitivities & allergies & I have been able to eat quite a few of their dishes. Their egg & vegetable fried rice is 🔥& the boiled fish in spicy chili oil is delicious. The salt & pepper tofu is another favorite. They were able to accommodate gluten-free & other allergies requests easily. We went back twice in one week after finding the spot. & now just placed orders through uber eats. Needless to say, we are hooked to their delicious food.
Received spoiled food that seemed okay. My boyfriend & I had gotten a couple dishes a month ago for our anniversary, it included the general Tao & two types of fried rice. The food tasted good but we'd gotten food poisoning for 2/3 days after so we recommend anyone to tell them to cook it well! The service was 10/10 though! Enjoyed the environment, we were just upset about our upset stomachs.
