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 expect Sichuan & we got Sichuan. Compare to where we from (Dallas, Texas), the food is less spicy but they use more peppercorns. The level of numbing is just right so that we can actually enjoy the taste of the food. No wait for us at 8:30 pm on Monday night.

Received spoiled food that seemed okay. My boyfriend & I had gotten a couple dishes a month ago for our anniversary, it included the general Tao & two types of fried rice. The food tasted good but we'd gotten food poisoning for 2/3 days after so we recommend anyone to tell them to cook it well! The service was 10/10 though! Enjoyed the environment, we were just upset about our upset stomachs.
