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.

J'ai adoré cet endroit, le repas était très bon & bien piquant. C'était chère, mais les portions étaient généreuse, donc ça compense un peu le prix

If you are looking for a nice Chinese place in China town Montreal, this is the place to go. You might have to wait a bit but believe me it is absolutely worth it. They have a lot of variety to choose from. I personally had the eggplants & the veggies noodles, but I was with friends who had several other plates like the cucumber salad, dumplings, & many more. The food was great, the service was quick & would definitely go back.

One of the best Szechuan restaurants in Montreal! Ate here with a friend who was very disappointed at the quality of Szechuan cuisine in this city but this place completely changed her mind.

The Hunan pork belly, cumin lamb & fried eggplants are a must get! Definitely a hidden gem of Montreal & easily one of the best restaurants in Chinatown.
