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.

The stir-fried beef was quite good, while the ginger scallion chicken was rather average. I particularly enjoyed the dry-fried green beans, which were excellent. However, the restaurant is located in a basement, & the environment felt a bit oppressive. But this is just my personal experience, as tastes naturally vary from person to person.

Il ne faut pas être pressé mais plats de qualité ! Bonne quantité (quoique manque de viande dans certains plats comme le boeuf au brocoli). Service très lent par contre

We had the braided pork with eggs (a gourmet highlight), sizzling beef rib (very good), & spicy Chinese cabbage (tastier than the meat dishes). Everything was good, generous. I've really got nothing but good words for that place.
