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.

Overrated. Food was not exactly as what's advertised in the picture. Definitely not worth the wait for the long line up.

One of the best Chinese restaurants thus far. Great flavours & spice, just too much salt. The salt & pepper squid & the pork eggplant were huge hits. The restaurant is down a few flights of stairs, hence not the most accessible. But they have a few high chairs.

We will definitely return.
