In the Northern provinces of China, where the temperature is always low, people warm themselves up with spicy meals filled with flavours. We offer you the 5 main flavors present in Chinese cooking: sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty. Let us take you on a traditional Chinese culinary experience right in the heart of Montreal!
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.
Traditional Chinese food local in Chinatown, spicy, sweet & delicious. I love the Kung Pao Chicken & the fish with pickled mustard. The portions are perfect sized paired with a bowl of rice! Aside from Panda express, I would say, one of the best in West of Asian food.

Just ordered from here on uber eats. This place is the real deal for good Chinese in Montreal. Been looking for our go-to spot for months. Found it. Stir fried beef with ginger & scallions is especially excellent. Can't wait to try this place in person.
The food here is consistently delicious, with generous portions & great value for money. The cozy atmosphere makes it a perfect spot for family dinners or casual meetups.
This place had some damn delicious Chinese food. We ordered the fried rice which was okay in my opinion, the General Tao Chicken was the bomb & the wonton soup which was delicious. You won't regret eating here. It was packed when we came in which says a lot about the place. It's in a basement setting with limited seating but served us well. We waiting 5 minutes to be seated but the servers were hustling. Great place to eat!

Delicious food & wonderful service. They were very kind & took extra steps to accommodate our group celebrating two birthdays. They can take reservations if you call in.
