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.

We walked in here without plans (as it was one of the few places in that block that is still open). What a pleasant surprise- food was solid good, no frills or anything. I would go back for sure.

The food here was so flavorful! I had the beef tripe, & the waiter made sure that I knew it wasn't an actual cut of beef (I did know, I've eaten it before, but I appreciate him making sure haha). The chow mein, chicken & potatoes, & fried rice were all great too. I've only had beef tripe twice, including this visit, but it's definitely the best out of the two that I've eaten. A great place in Quebec's Chinatown.

4.0

Gut besuchtes Restaurant mit Sichuan Fokus. Unser Gurkensalat war sehr gut. Die Sauerscharf Suppe für zwei Portionen ausgelegt und schmackhaft. Lammfleisch mit Kreuzkümmel war gut gewürzt. Der Service hatte anfänglich die Getränke vergessen, dies aber zügig korrigiert. das Lokal ist leider fensterlos im Keller, was das Ambiente einschränkt.

Used to be good, but not so much anymore. Chicken sauté had small pieces of bones in it. What was sold as pork was in fact mostly pork fat. My advice would be that there are too many menu options, it is hard to choose. They should concentrate on what they can do really well & reduce menu item count.
