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.

As an American chef I can honestly say this is the best authentic Chinese food I’ve had outside of New York City. In fact, I dare say it’s better than most of the places in NYC. My biggest regret is not coming here with six other people so I could have ordered half the menu. If you’re in town stop here. You won’t be disappointed.

Not sure about hype. Salt & pepper squid was soggy with no hot peppers & no salt. General Tsao chicken needed heat. Super fast service. Fine but certainly not worth the hype.

Je viens régulièrement au Chili de même que tous les membres de ma famille depuis plus de deux ans & je suis toujours totalement satisfait. J'ai essayé presque tout ce qui est sur le menu & tout est bon. Cuisine du Dongbei, Hunan & Schezuan..il est bon de combiner les trois. Très piquant lorsqu'indiqué mais peut être adouci sur demande. Service impeccable par Mr Cheng. Coup de coeur pour Général Tao, Porc à l'ail, poisson au légumes, aubergines, fèves vertes(favorites de toutes la famille)...etc.

Très bon souper pour un prix plus que raisonnable. Les aubergines épicées au porc & Le sauté de champignons en casserole: Wow Les crevettes avec sauce épicées & cajous & l'assiette d'agneau sauté aux échalotes sont d'excellent choix. Le service a été fait avec le sourire tout au long du repas grâce à l'excellent serveur Qi.

Tonight, me & my girlfriend ordered for takeout from this seeminglynice restaurant. Although, my plate was very good (well spiced, ingredients well picked), my girlfriend's plate not so much... She ordered a portion of SHRIMP with chicken & ribs. In total they were two shrimps, although rather large, & a couple already EMPTY...(leaving only the shell) Also the ribs were mostly bones with shreds of meat on it. I rate it a 3 for I still quite enjoyed my plate.

Nous sommes maintenant allés deux fois chez Chili & nous avons décidé d'essayer d'y aller 1 fois par mois. La nouriture est vraiment délicieuse les portions sont généreuses & les prix sont tres raisonables. Pour trois personnes nous nous en sommes sortis avec 3 plats a partager + un riz moyen pour 50$. Je vous conseille absolument de prendre les crevettes gongbao (à se jeter par terre).
J'y retournerai autant avec des amis qu'avec ma famille.
Service rapide & courtois

Autres plats delicieux : poulet croustillant (a manger avec la sauce siracha!!!!), aubergine & porc haché, saute de porcs avec piments (poivrons)
