Review Summary

Chez Chili is widely regarded as a standout destination in Montreal for authentic, flavorful Chinese cuisine, particularly favoring Sichuan and Hunan styles. Guests frequently praise the restaurant for its consistently delicious dishes, generous portion sizes, and efficient service, making it an ideal spot for sharing meals with friends and family. While the atmosphere is described as lively, cozy, and bustling, many diners appreciate the quick turnover and the fresh, bold ingredients used in classics like the General Tao chicken, eggplant dishes, and spicy fish.

Wait time was very short even though there were queues out on to the street. I had the yangchao fried rice & general tao chicken, the fried rice was very light on soy sauce compared to yangchao from other places which actually tasted better in my opinion. The chicken was very nice as well & the staff were very quick with unlimited ice water refills & quick service.

Actually the worst food place I have ever been. The food was genuinely disgusting & made me so sick after the fact. The service was also super mid & the prices are terrible when you factor in how absolutely horrendous the food was. Honestly ruined my whole trip & I'm so serious about that. My stomach has still not recovered multiple days later.
