Review Summary

Chez Chili is widely regarded as a standout destination in Montreal's Chinatown for authentic, flavorful, and generously portioned Chinese cuisine, particularly specializing in Sichuan and Hunan styles. Guests frequently praise the restaurant for its fresh ingredients, consistent quality, and efficient, friendly service that makes it a popular choice for both quick lunches and social family-style dinners. While the basement setting provides a cozy, lively atmosphere, some diners suggest arriving early to avoid potential wait times. Although most experiences are highly positive, a few reviews note occasional inconsistencies in spice levels or service pacing during peak hours, yet the overall consensus remains that it is a must-visit spot for those seeking delicious, reliable, and reasonably priced meals.

I ordered & never received order, I placed & call them to cancel order as it was wrong order, initially order was saying 30 mins to prepare but as soon as I called, they asked me to contact uber one & meanwhile change order status to complete, worst experience, I will rate Chez Chilli 0

Cheerful & bustling spot in a giant downstairs room with big savory sharing plates placed on turntables atop round tables. Casually tasty & relaxed happy vibes. Mix of authentic flavors & dishes alongside crowd favorites. Solid beer or wine, or a pina colada in a can. Get a reservation!
