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.

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!

Ce restaurant chinois, situé en plein milieu de Chinatown, est un véritable bijou d'authenticité. Dès l'entrée, l'accueil chaleureux & amical du personnel vous met à l'aise. L'atmosphère est authentique, ce qui ajoute au charme de l'endroit. Quant à la nourriture, c'est un régal ! Les portions sont généreuses & chaque plat est un véritable délice. De plus, si vous ne pouvez pas tout finir, pas de souci : les restes peuvent être emportés chez vous. Si vous êtes de passage dans Chinatown, je vous recommande vivement de faire un arrêt ici. Vous ne serez pas déçu !

This place is the best shezuan Chinese in montreal. If you have not eaten here you are missing something. The portions are generous & the place may look like a hole in the wall in china town but the food is far from. A mist eat on any foodys list. I recommend them with 5 stars.

Restaurant chinois qui nous avait été recommandé. Poulet général tao surcuit! Sec en bouche & dur.... Ça devrait être une spécialité non Crevettes panées étaient juste correctes, sans plus. Le riz aux légumes étaient excellent! Bonne ambiance car c'était plein! Entrée atypique. On doit descendre au sous-sol & personne pour nous accueillir.... C'est plutôt bizarre.🤔. Les serveurs ne sont pas super souriantes.... déposent les plats & repartent en courant! Pas sûr que je vais réessayer.....

Located in a prime spot in Chinatown, this underground restaurant is always bustling with a crowd. The atmosphere is vibrant, & the staff is incredibly friendly & attentive. The food was quite good, though it took some time to get used to the unique flavors. Portions are very generous-almost too much. By the time I finished the appetizer, I was already feeling full. Despite that, I went on to try the Singaporean noodles, chicken fried rice, & assorted vegetables, which were all quite tasty. Given the popularity of the place, I highly recommend making a reservation in advance to avoid the long queues.

Our hotel was right around the corner from Chinatown. We googled Chinese Food restaurants & Chez Chili came up highly rated so my husband & I checked it out. It's a great little place in the basement. We were warmly greeted & served immediately. The food came out quickly & everything was piping hot. Every dish we ordered was very tasty. The portions were big & there was plenty left over to take with us. Highly recommend!

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.
