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.

Worth its rating. I got 外婆菜 & 回锅肉. Both are fine They force tipping at the end (we were group of 2 & got 2 dishes). I was gonna tip the 15% anyways but getting forced is another feeling

Wonderful food, quick service, generous portions & fair price. The staff was extremely nice, even though the place was busy. Two things sold out or in the verge of being sold out, unfortunately: Tsingtao beer & lajiaoyu (chilly oil), it would be nice to see the restaurant restock them next time :)
