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.

First of all, the employees could learn a bit about customer service. They took an eternity to take our order, & with an attitude as if we were a nuisance rather customers. We saw other potential customers leaving too because their order was never taken.
On the other hand the general Tao chicken was more breading than actual chicken, & the fried rice with pork & shrimps didn't have any pork, but sausage cubes. The food could definitely improve as well.

I come here regularly & the quality is always top-notch. The spicy dry pot & dumplings are my go-to. Staff is always welcoming too!

The best Sichuan restaurant in town-no question. The food is spicy, flavorful, & always fresh. Great for both dine-in & takeout.

Very nice place in the area. The heart of downtown Montreal.

I appreciate that this place is in a basement, kind of a nice way to get away from the hustle & bustle of the city.

I managed to get here right before the dinner rush. The staff is friendly & attentive. I also like the decor & art, especially the giant utensils (if you know what I mean).

All great stuff, thank you guys for the great experience. 🙂👍

Food was ok. The waiter was rude - He asked for more tip after the meal has already been paid.
