Chez Chili invites you to discover China's authentic delights. In the Northern provinces of China, where the temperature is always low, people warm themselves up with spicy meals filled with flavours. We offer you the 5 main flavors present in Chinese cooking: sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty. Let us take you on a traditional Chinese culinary experience right in the heart of Montreal!
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.
This place is so unassuming & yet what a treasure! I have food sensitivities & allergies & I have been able to eat quite a few of their dishes. Their egg & vegetable fried rice is 🔥& the boiled fish in spicy chili oil is delicious. The salt & pepper tofu is another favorite. They were able to accommodate gluten-free & other allergies requests easily. We went back twice in one week after finding the spot. & now just placed orders through uber eats. Needless to say, we are hooked to their delicious food.
Ordered the pork salt & spices & wasn't disappointed with it ! It was salty & tasty, I got a huge portion for the price. It was enough to fill me twice with some rice. Kind & efficient service A good recommendation in the Chinese district
Food is good. Service sucks. Rice came last everything on the table got cold. We can't eat the food without the rice. So yeah. Even though the taste of the food is good, we won't be coming back don't Wanna eat cold dish with warm rice. Do better.
We expect Sichuan & we got Sichuan. Compare to where we from (Dallas, Texas), the food is less spicy but they use more peppercorns. The level of numbing is just right so that we can actually enjoy the taste of the food. No wait for us at 8:30 pm on Monday night.
Received spoiled food that seemed okay. My boyfriend & I had gotten a couple dishes a month ago for our anniversary, it included the general Tao & two types of fried rice. The food tasted good but we'd gotten food poisoning for 2/3 days after so we recommend anyone to tell them to cook it well! The service was 10/10 though! Enjoyed the environment, we were just upset about our upset stomachs.
