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.
Pendant années j'allais à Chinatown sans jamais rentrer dans ce restaurant, honnêtement oui, je le sous-estimer. Quelle erreur, & honte à moi! Un jour, j'ai décidé d'y entrer après mes courses au marché de fruits de mer qui est en face, c'est devenu mon restaurant chinois préféré! Authentique cuisine Szechuan! Le service est impeccable, le personnel est très aimable & disponible & me suggère toujours le meilleur & les généreuses portions aussi. J'adore les concombres marinés & épicés, le poulet frit avec des os, le boeuf grésillant, salade de pommes de terres épicées, le riz frit maison... Bref si vous voulez de la cuisine chinoise authentique, c'est une des meilleures places, je ne suis jamais déçue, une belle constance!
The braised pork belly was THE BEEESSSSSSTTTTT one I've had in my life. We can go back to Montreal just for this. Also, our server was amazing. I think his name was Tony.
Go here if you miss being in China & want something that takes you back. Friendly service & fantastic food. Officially my happy place in Montreal now. On cloud nine.
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!
