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.

Ordered lobster & pork/shrimp fried rice. Lobster was good, but fried rice was mediocre at best. Didn't realize what they meant as pork was sausages. Shrimp was good. Could have been so much better if they had used bbq pork instead. Friendly service & decent atmosphere.

Must be the place where the locals go. We ordered the chicken fried rice & the beef & broccoli. We found it so delicious that we came back a second time in the same week! While it is in the basement, the place was packed.
