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.

Highly recommended! The flavor profile here is incredible. What impressed me most was the contrast of flavors; you can really taste the distinct notes in every bite. It's a perfect balance that makes the whole experience stand out. If you're looking for something authentic & packed with flavor, this is the place!

I came all the way from Nova Scotia & had one of the best meals here. The portions were generous, & while the prices felt a little on the higher side, the food was absolutely worth it. I especially loved the fish dishes. They were so flavorful, & I haven't found anything else quite like them since. I still crave them! I also tried Soju for the first time, which made the experience even more special. Highly recommend this place.

I was genuinely impressed by the level of service at this restaurant. Despite arriving just before closing time, the staff welcomed us warmly & never made us feel rushed. They were incredibly patient, allowing us to enjoy our meal at a comfortable pace. Even after closing hours had passed, they continued to refill our water & check in on us with a smile. It's rare to find a place that balances efficiency with such genuine hospitality.

Highly recommended for both the food & the exceptional service!
