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.

4.5

J'ai visité presque tous les restaurants du quartier chinois & celui-ci est certainement le meilleur des restaurants chinois.

L'ambiance est meilleure, il n'y a pas ces nappes de plastique blanche sur les tables, la déco est mieux même si elle n'est pas très élaborée, le service est plus courtois qu'ailleurs.

Le service est rapide, c'est donc un endroit à privilégier pour le midi.

La nourriture est excellente & il y a un très bon choix nême pour les menus midi. Les prix sont très abordables.
