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.

some dishes are pretty good, & some is just so so. The whole place is bit crowded. Dishes are on the table pretty fast after order. But after that, basically no service at all.

Been here multiple times. The eggplant is always a fan favorite. The sweet & sour ribs were also nice.

Went for dinner on a Friday night & selected the restaurant based on the below reviews . Had to wait about 10 mins on the stairs , during the wait they did not ask us how many seats . Finally they gave me a table which was vacant from the beginning . It's a noisy place .The tables are so close you can over hear all conversations . Coming to the food , I ordered sea food fried rice without squid . The rice was clamped up & not fried well with exact 6 big prawns which I felt was rubbery .
