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.

C'était bien mais sans plus. J'ai essayé le boeuf Hunan, le poulet Général Tao & le porc sel & poivre. C'était bon! Mais les portions étaient moyennes, le service était passable, même plutôt penchant sur le lent, & les saveurs un peu ordinaires. Le général Tao était trop sûrette à mon goût. Sa friture était bien réussi par contre. Je suis satisfait, mais pas particulièrement impressionné.

The restaurant is underground. Had to wait for about 40 min to be seated, however, the food was good. The service was okeish, we felt super rushed by the server.

Honestly, the food I ordered today turned out to be quite bland for my taste. I took my friend here as I had a better time previously but I was quite disappointed with the difference. Not my cup of tea I would say & hence I gave an extra star because the food was fresh even though I didn't like the way it tasted.
