Review Summary

Overall, reviews describe Chez Chili as a reliable source of bold, authentic Sichuan and Chinese flavors in Chinatown, with generous portions and good value. The atmosphere is cozy and casual in a basement setting, and service is usually friendly and efficient, though a few readers note moments of rushing or occasional lapses. The menu is wide and varied, offering dishes from Sichuan, Hunan, and other regional styles, with frequent praise for General Tao, eggplant dishes, mapo tofu, and spice that appeals to heat lovers while some items can be a tad salty. Takeout and delivery are consistently praised, and many guests say the food is consistently delicious, making Chez Chili a go to for those seeking spicy, flavorful Chinese cuisine in Montreal.

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.

Went for dinner on a Friday night & selected the restaurant based on the below reviews . Had to wait about 10 mins on the stairs , during the wait they did not ask us how many seats . Finally they gave me a table which was vacant from the beginning . It's a noisy place .The tables are so close you can over hear all conversations . Coming to the food , I ordered sea food fried rice without squid . The rice was clamped up & not fried well with exact 6 big prawns which I felt was rubbery .
