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.

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.

I came all the way from Nova Scotia & had one of the best meals here. The portions were generous, & while the prices felt a little on the higher side, the food was absolutely worth it. I especially loved the fish dishes. They were so flavorful, & I haven't found anything else quite like them since. I still crave them! I also tried Soju for the first time, which made the experience even more special. Highly recommend this place.

A Chinese restaurant in Chinatown named'Chez Chili' had no chili oil. I was not happy with the service either; the big guy server was unhelpful.

3.0

The General Tao chicken which was surprisingly crispy, & the massive fried shrimps were the highlight of the meal. In Toronto, you can get better tasting Chinese food for cheaper & bigger portions, for that I just have to call the food decent.

The food came out extremely fast, getting our order & setting table was a bit slow though. Love the lazy Suzan tables though!

Overall 3.3/5
