Review Summary

Overall, reviews describe Chez Chili as a reliable source of bold, authentic Sichuan and Chinese flavors in Chinatown, with generous portions and good value. The atmosphere is cozy and casual in a basement setting, and service is usually friendly and efficient, though a few readers note moments of rushing or occasional lapses. The menu is wide and varied, offering dishes from Sichuan, Hunan, and other regional styles, with frequent praise for General Tao, eggplant dishes, mapo tofu, and spice that appeals to heat lovers while some items can be a tad salty. Takeout and delivery are consistently praised, and many guests say the food is consistently delicious, making Chez Chili a go to for those seeking spicy, flavorful Chinese cuisine in Montreal.

Food portion & quality was great! General Tao & Salt & Pepper shrimp+Squid were excellent.

Both meals came w/a spoon & the table had chopsticks already.

Service could be improved simply because we weren't asked if we needed anything when the meal came (more napkins or hot sauce).

Ambiance could be better if they had music playing & as always, bathrooms could be cleaned much more often.

Final note: if you run cold, don't sit in line w/the door during winter. It's just magnetic flaps after you enter the main door. So there was a heavy draft.

J'adore ce restaurant, il y a énormément de choix & on y mange très bien. C'est très sympa pour goûter à plusieurs plats & les partager à votre table !
Les quantités sont généreuses.

Je recommande plutôt de manger sur place, car les quantités semblent plus importantes VS à emporter.

Pour un petit restaurant je trouve que ça vaut la peine d'y aller. Premièrement le service est bon, ont a une table dès qu'ont arrive. Deuxièmement la nourriture est délicieuse & les portions sont généreuse.
