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 ordered delivery to our hotel from Chez Chili. We got the ginger scallion chicken, pork meatballs, & green bean with minced pork. All the dishes were excellent. Totally satisfied our craving for Chinese food. Authentic & affordable. Highly recommend!

Chez Chili offers an exceptional dining experience with its authentic Sichuan cuisine, which has become my all-time favorite. The restaurant delivers on its promise of bold flavors & traditional dishes that capture the essence of Sichuan cuisine perfectly. From the aromatic spices to the mouth-numbing heat of dishes like mapo tofu & spicy garlic eggplant, each bite is a delight. The ambiance is cozy & welcoming, complementing the flavorful meals. Whether you're a fan of spicy food or seeking an authentic taste of Sichuan, Chez Chili delivers an unforgettable dining experience.

Found myself alone in Montreal on a Friday night. Chinatown was not far from hotel. Came upon this restaurant after asking for a recommendation in an Asian Market. Chez Chili was some of the best Szechuan I've ever had.
The wait staff was so nice . You could tell they have regulars that come in- which is a good sign.

Mamchmal sind die versteckten Kellerlokale die Besten! Wir haben Chez Chili nur zufällig entdeckt und fanden es wirklich sehr gut. Okay, es ist Keller und eher sachlich eingerichtet. Aber das Essen schmeckt sehr gut, der Service ist auch gut. Wir hatten 2x Chicken und 1x Nudeln. Bei den Chicken gab es quasi kein Gemüse, ist aber hier wohl so üblich. Also am besten 1x Fleisch & 1x Gemüse bestellen und dann teilen. Eine kleine Portion Reis reicht auch locker für zwei Personen.
