Review Summary

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.

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!

Ambiance tranquille, c'est dans un sous-sol, espace un peu serré mais, ils se débrouille bien. J'ai été déçu de mon plat commandé mais avec autre chose possibilité de dire mieux, mais côté services très bon
