Chez Chili is widely praised for authentic Sichuan flavors, bold spice, and generous portions that offer good value, with standout dishes like General Tao, salt and pepper shrimp, eggplant with pork, mapo tofu, and Hunan specialties frequently highlighted; multiple comments call it the best Chinese in Montreal's Chinatown and a reliable go-to for spicy, well seasoned dishes, including tofu options and vegetable dishes; the atmosphere is described as cozy and basement-like, sometimes noisy, with fast service that can feel rushed during peak times; several reviews commend friendly, attentive staff and quick turnover, while a few report inconsistent service, attitude around tips, or slower moments, and some hygienic concerns such as not seeing hands washed or occasional cleanliness issues; takeout can be problematic at times with missing or late orders, and there are occasional complaints about spice levels not matching expectations or dishes arriving not as spicy as advertised; overall the food is delicious, authentic, and worth a visit, with many plans to return despite some caveats.
Se baladant dans le quartier chinois de Montréal, chez Chili est un petit restaurant discret qui cache bien son jeu ! Nous sommes entrés & descendus pour découvrir une salle animée, conviviale & tenue par une équipe accueillante & dynamique. Nous avons très bien mangé, c'était super bon, mais les parts sont gargantuesques & les prix un peu élevés. Malgré cela, nous avons adoré nos plats (un peu trop épicés quand même) & vous conseillons vivement d'y aller !

Very authentic Chinese food & I always drive all the way from Quebec City to tame the craving;) ???Tony & staff provide excellent, friendly & timely services. Highly recommended! 🤙
Going to be my go to when I'm craving Chinese food in Montreal. I've avoided Chinese food in Montreal after a terrible experience at another restaurant in China Town, so I am glad I've found chez Chili.
I ordered in advanced on Uber & I'm glad I did as there was a long line on a Friday evening.
Every dish we ordered was super flavourful. My favourites were the eggplant & pan fried green beans.

We ordered delivery to our hotel from Chez Chili. We got the ginger scallion chicken, pork meatballs, & green bean with minced pork. All the dishes were excellent. Totally satisfied our craving for Chinese food. Authentic & affordable. Highly recommend!
Every dish I've tried has been full of bold, authentic flavors. The spice is balanced perfectly, & the quality is always consistent. This place sets the bar for Chinese food in the area.
Fast, friendly service & absolutely delicious food. The menu is full of classics done right-spicy, savory, & satisfying. Chez Chili never lets me down.
Chez Chili offers an exceptional dining experience with its authentic Sichuan cuisine, which has become my all-time favorite. The restaurant delivers on its promise of bold flavors & traditional dishes that capture the essence of Sichuan cuisine perfectly. From the aromatic spices to the mouth-numbing heat of dishes like mapo tofu & spicy garlic eggplant, each bite is a delight. The ambiance is cozy & welcoming, complementing the flavorful meals. Whether you're a fan of spicy food or seeking an authentic taste of Sichuan, Chez Chili delivers an unforgettable dining experience.
Found myself alone in Montreal on a Friday night. Chinatown was not far from hotel. Came upon this restaurant after asking for a recommendation in an Asian Market. Chez Chili was some of the best Szechuan I've ever had.
The wait staff was so nice . You could tell they have regulars that come in- which is a good sign.
Mamchmal sind die versteckten Kellerlokale die Besten! Wir haben Chez Chili nur zufällig entdeckt und fanden es wirklich sehr gut. Okay, es ist Keller und eher sachlich eingerichtet. Aber das Essen schmeckt sehr gut, der Service ist auch gut. Wir hatten 2x Chicken und 1x Nudeln. Bei den Chicken gab es quasi kein Gemüse, ist aber hier wohl so üblich. Also am besten 1x Fleisch & 1x Gemüse bestellen und dann teilen. Eine kleine Portion Reis reicht auch locker für zwei Personen.
