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.

We discovered Chez Chili thanks to a recommendation from Jie Hau, the incredibly helpful doorman at Holiday Inn Montreal Centreville Downtown. We were headed to a different restaurant in Chinatown when Jie suggested this spot instead-& we're so glad he did!

Tucked away in a basement location, Chez Chili might be easy to miss, but it's absolutely worth finding. The menu is enormous, with a wide variety of dishes to suit every taste. The staff was friendly & helpful, answering our questions & making sure we had a great dining experience.

Every dish we ordered was flavorful, fresh, & well-prepared. The portions were generous, & the food came out quickly despite the busy atmosphere.

Whether you're staying nearby or just exploring Chinatown, Chez Chili is a fantastic spot for authentic Chinese cuisine. Big thanks again to Jie Hau at Holiday Inn Montreal Centreville Downtown for sending us there-it truly made our night in Montreal memorable!

De passage à Montréal pour les vacances, jolie découverte de ce petit restaurant sichuanaise, qui propose aussi des plats des régions de DongBei & de Guangzhou.
Plats délicieux & très copieux! Serveur adorable & attentif (D'ailleurs si vous ne savez pas quoi choisir n'hésitez pas à demander des recommandations 👍)
Je recommande sans hésitation!

Se baladant dans le quartier chinois de Montréal, chez Chili est un petit restaurant discret qui cache bien son jeu ! Nous sommes entrés & descendus pour découvrir une salle animée, conviviale & tenue par une équipe accueillante & dynamique. Nous avons très bien mangé, c'était super bon, mais les parts sont gargantuesques & les prix un peu élevés. Malgré cela, nous avons adoré nos plats (un peu trop épicés quand même) & vous conseillons vivement d'y aller !
