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.

Restaurant chinois qui nous avait été recommandé. Poulet général tao surcuit! Sec en bouche & dur.... Ça devrait être une spécialité non Crevettes panées étaient juste correctes, sans plus. Le riz aux légumes étaient excellent! Bonne ambiance car c'était plein! Entrée atypique. On doit descendre au sous-sol & personne pour nous accueillir.... C'est plutôt bizarre.🤔. Les serveurs ne sont pas super souriantes.... déposent les plats & repartent en courant! Pas sûr que je vais réessayer.....

They used to have fried mushrooms but it's gone from the menu now. I'd love to see more variety of vegan options .

Located in a prime spot in Chinatown, this underground restaurant is always bustling with a crowd. The atmosphere is vibrant, & the staff is incredibly friendly & attentive. The food was quite good, though it took some time to get used to the unique flavors. Portions are very generous-almost too much. By the time I finished the appetizer, I was already feeling full. Despite that, I went on to try the Singaporean noodles, chicken fried rice, & assorted vegetables, which were all quite tasty. Given the popularity of the place, I highly recommend making a reservation in advance to avoid the long queues.
