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.

I went there for my birthday. The best way to fully enjoy the experience is to go as a group (make reservations ahead) & pick lots of plates to share with a big bowl of white rice. It's popular. The line up never ends & we quickly know why. The food is awesome. The place is small & doesn't aesthetically look awesome but who cares. We're here for the food!!!

This place is so unassuming & yet what a treasure! I have food sensitivities & allergies & I have been able to eat quite a few of their dishes. Their egg & vegetable fried rice is 🔥& the boiled fish in spicy chili oil is delicious. The salt & pepper tofu is another favorite. They were able to accommodate gluten-free & other allergies requests easily. We went back twice in one week after finding the spot. & now just placed orders through uber eats. Needless to say, we are hooked to their delicious food.

Ordered the pork salt & spices & wasn't disappointed with it ! It was salty & tasty, I got a huge portion for the price. It was enough to fill me twice with some rice. Kind & efficient service A good recommendation in the Chinese district
