Overall, reviews describe Chez Chili as a reliable source of bold, authentic Sichuan and Chinese flavors in Chinatown, with generous portions and good value. The atmosphere is cozy and casual in a basement setting, and service is usually friendly and efficient, though a few readers note moments of rushing or occasional lapses. The menu is wide and varied, offering dishes from Sichuan, Hunan, and other regional styles, with frequent praise for General Tao, eggplant dishes, mapo tofu, and spice that appeals to heat lovers while some items can be a tad salty. Takeout and delivery are consistently praised, and many guests say the food is consistently delicious, making Chez Chili a go to for those seeking spicy, flavorful Chinese cuisine in Montreal.

Wonderful food, quick service, generous portions & fair price. The staff was extremely nice, even though the place was busy. Two things sold out or in the verge of being sold out, unfortunately: Tsingtao beer & lajiaoyu (chilly oil), it would be nice to see the restaurant restock them next time :)

J'ai adoré cet endroit, le repas était très bon & bien piquant. C'était chère, mais les portions étaient généreuse, donc ça compense un peu le prix

If you are looking for a nice Chinese place in China town Montreal, this is the place to go. You might have to wait a bit but believe me it is absolutely worth it. They have a lot of variety to choose from. I personally had the eggplants & the veggies noodles, but I was with friends who had several other plates like the cucumber salad, dumplings, & many more. The food was great, the service was quick & would definitely go back.

Hands down best Szechuan & Hunan cuisine in Montreal. Each dish is so flavourful. Service is also very friendly & helpful. Would recommend the Szechuan chicken bone in & hunan style beef & the green beans. Ugh, just amazing

One of the best Szechuan restaurants in Montreal! Ate here with a friend who was very disappointed at the quality of Szechuan cuisine in this city but this place completely changed her mind.

The Hunan pork belly, cumin lamb & fried eggplants are a must get! Definitely a hidden gem of Montreal & easily one of the best restaurants in Chinatown.

Ma place préférée dans le quartier pour manger en groupe de 5 à 10 personnes. La bouffe est délicieuse.

As an American chef I can honestly say this is the best authentic Chinese food I’ve had outside of New York City. In fact, I dare say it’s better than most of the places in NYC. My biggest regret is not coming here with six other people so I could have ordered half the menu. If you’re in town stop here. You won’t be disappointed.

Not sure about hype. Salt & pepper squid was soggy with no hot peppers & no salt. General Tsao chicken needed heat. Super fast service. Fine but certainly not worth the hype.
