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.

Delicious food & excellent service! We finished everything because it was so good. The staff were very friendly & welcoming. Prices were reasonable too. Chinese food in Montreal is on another level compared to what we've had elsewhere. We will definitely come back!

Il ne faut clairement pas aller la bas pour l'ambiance ou la décoration mais si vous voulez vous régaler avec des plats copieux & savoureux c'est parfait.

Surprisingly good Sichuan good for Montreal. I always get Sichuan boiled fish & stir fried green beans. The fish was tender & very flavorful, although not really that spicy. It was numbing though. The green beans may have actually had more kick than the fish & the ground pork in it really added that nice saltiness. We also had fried rice which was very fragrant & flavorful without just being overly salty or sweet. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Après avoir essayé celui de Chambly ( la même chaîne) je voulais absolument venir goûter celui du Chinatown.
Mon ami me dit qu'il est supérieur & que le goût n'est pas pareil.
Nous sommes venus en soirée où commence le Comicon au Palais des Congrès donc beaucoup de monde.
Sur les lieux c'était bondé mais nous sommes chanceux plusieurs clients commencent à quitter.
Ce n'est pas très grand & la climatisation est assez juste.
Le bruit était modéré & on peut parler sans besoin de crier.

Le service est excellent & la nourriture arrive rapidement après avoir commandé.
Effectivement c'est très bon , tout est goûteux.
J'aurais aimé un peu moins d'huile pour le Chow Mein Cantonese & aubergines au porc, le boeuf sur plaque chauffante très bon mais l'os prends trop de place, crevettes sel & poivre sont délicieux.

Menu vaste je vais devoir revenir pour essayer d'autres plats !!!
