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.
Service was good & fast, food was ok, chicken was really more cartilage than meat & wasn't tasty to eat, might have to try it again since overall it looked like a nice place.
Food was good. But being in a basement was not great! Don't know why they had flies. Maybe the AC wasn't working well because the air was a little smoky.

Restaurant chinois qui nous avait été recommandé. Poulet général tao surcuit! Sec en bouche & dur.... Ça devrait être une spécialité non Crevettes panées étaient juste correctes, sans plus. Le riz aux légumes étaient excellent! Bonne ambiance car c'était plein! Entrée atypique. On doit descendre au sous-sol & personne pour nous accueillir.... C'est plutôt bizarre.🤔. Les serveurs ne sont pas super souriantes.... déposent les plats & repartent en courant! Pas sûr que je vais réessayer.....
Really love the food here! I often dine at this restaurant & am always satisfied with the quality of their food. A varied menu with reasonable prices. Service is also friendly & fast. The restaurant atmosphere is also comfortable. Highly recommended for Chinese food lovers
