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.

Pendant années j'allais à Chinatown sans jamais rentrer dans ce restaurant, honnêtement oui, je le sous-estimer. Quelle erreur, & honte à moi! Un jour, j'ai décidé d'y entrer après mes courses au marché de fruits de mer qui est en face, c'est devenu mon restaurant chinois préféré! Authentique cuisine Szechuan! Le service est impeccable, le personnel est très aimable & disponible & me suggère toujours le meilleur & les généreuses portions aussi. J'adore les concombres marinés & épicés, le poulet frit avec des os, le boeuf grésillant, salade de pommes de terres épicées, le riz frit maison... Bref si vous voulez de la cuisine chinoise authentique, c'est une des meilleures places, je ne suis jamais déçue, une belle constance!
