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.

The food was generally enjoyable, though a bit on the salty side. We particularly liked the General Tao.

Unfortunately, the service was exceptionally poor. We received no greeting or welcome upon arrival; instead, the waitress simply pointed us to a table & dropped off a single menu for our party. After being seated, we waited about 15 minutes before anyone came to take our order. When I asked a question about the menu, I was interrupted mid-sentence & told,'I'll give you more time,' despite being ready to order. It then took another 5-7 minutes to get the waiter's attention.

Throughout the meal, no one checked in to see how everything was or whether we needed anything. While the food had its merits, the level of service overshadowed the entire experience.
