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.

Very busy restaurant in the basement of a building in Chinatown. Food was tasty & in good quantity. Service friendly, attentive but at a fast food category. Their focus is to serve as many people as possible. Reasonably priced.

Food was below average. Salt & pepper squid was just done wrong. Huge pieces with batter lacking any flavor.

By far my favorite Chinese food in Montreal. The Hunan beef (小炒牛肉) is just perfect.

Our hotel was right around the corner from Chinatown. We googled Chinese Food restaurants & Chez Chili came up highly rated so my husband & I checked it out. It's a great little place in the basement. We were warmly greeted & served immediately. The food came out quickly & everything was piping hot. Every dish we ordered was very tasty. The portions were big & there was plenty left over to take with us. Highly recommend!

Delicious & affordable food. You order many dishes to share (not really for individual portions). We were 8 people, we ordered 8 dishes & it was about 19$ per person before tips. Great place for a quick lunch with coworkers!
