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.

Visited here in 2023 & one of the best places to have your Chinese food fix! Mind you there maybe a line to get in. Hope they had more seats.

The food was delicious. We had a huge appetite & therefore ordered a meal for everyone. In hindsight 3 meals for 4 persons would have been more than enough though. The ambience is damped since there are no windows but otherwise very welcoming.

Ce restaurant chinois, situé en plein milieu de Chinatown, est un véritable bijou d'authenticité. Dès l'entrée, l'accueil chaleureux & amical du personnel vous met à l'aise. L'atmosphère est authentique, ce qui ajoute au charme de l'endroit. Quant à la nourriture, c'est un régal ! Les portions sont généreuses & chaque plat est un véritable délice. De plus, si vous ne pouvez pas tout finir, pas de souci : les restes peuvent être emportés chez vous. Si vous êtes de passage dans Chinatown, je vous recommande vivement de faire un arrêt ici. Vous ne serez pas déçu !

This place is the best shezuan Chinese in montreal. If you have not eaten here you are missing something. The portions are generous & the place may look like a hole in the wall in china town but the food is far from. A mist eat on any foodys list. I recommend them with 5 stars.

This is a hidden gem in Chinatown Montreal. The food is unbelievable. We went back a second time during our stay it was so good. The hot & sour soup is the best we've had anywhere. Every mean we had was excellent.
