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.

Tout était délicieux,… on attend un peu avant d'être servis mais bon, cela en valait la peine.

Food portion & quality was great! General Tao & Salt & Pepper shrimp+Squid were excellent.

Both meals came w/a spoon & the table had chopsticks already.

Service could be improved simply because we weren't asked if we needed anything when the meal came (more napkins or hot sauce).

Ambiance could be better if they had music playing & as always, bathrooms could be cleaned much more often.

Final note: if you run cold, don't sit in line w/the door during winter. It's just magnetic flaps after you enter the main door. So there was a heavy draft.

Le pire restaurant, sans conteste.

J'adore ce restaurant, il y a énormément de choix & on y mange très bien. C'est très sympa pour goûter à plusieurs plats & les partager à votre table !
Les quantités sont généreuses.

Je recommande plutôt de manger sur place, car les quantités semblent plus importantes VS à emporter.

Pour un petit restaurant je trouve que ça vaut la peine d'y aller. Premièrement le service est bon, ont a une table dès qu'ont arrive. Deuxièmement la nourriture est délicieuse & les portions sont généreuse.
