Review Summary

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.

I was genuinely impressed by the level of service at this restaurant. Despite arriving just before closing time, the staff welcomed us warmly & never made us feel rushed. They were incredibly patient, allowing us to enjoy our meal at a comfortable pace. Even after closing hours had passed, they continued to refill our water & check in on us with a smile. It's rare to find a place that balances efficiency with such genuine hospitality.

Highly recommended for both the food & the exceptional service!

Had a really good dinner here. The food is amazing & the service is really quick & friendly. We did the twice cooked pork & the general tao chicken. The pork dish was very authentic & quite spicy which we liked. The general tao chicken was also really good. I wish that dish had some vegetables that came with it. Looking forward to our next visit to try some other dishes.

I've been to a few better places. Menu not broad enough. Give up on the dessert options. Services was ok. Not sure about the cost(it was a date😜).
