i can say with absolute certainty that the squid here was the most magnificent and flavourful squid I have tasted in my entire life. Any hint of extra chewiness was compensated by the flavour. I have never been so satisfied by a seafood meal. I was very disappointed when they took the empty squid plate away, I would have licked the leftover squid crumbs off the floor. someone proceeded to order bok choy which was a thoroughly disappointing yet healthier sequel. the chinese tea is also quite good but not as good as the squid. please consider adding a squid flavour tea to your menu.
Old time's favorite, not as good as it used to be, but not too dissapointing. It has kind of lost its Hong Kong charm, becoming a typical westerners Chinese restaurant but still good food, nice service and still a place to go when visiting Perth.
Been a while since I've been back here, but glad to come back again recently. Restaurant looks nice and modern, and menu certainly has a good variety. Dishes we enjoyed:
👍 Golden Pumpkin - with the sweetness of the pumpkin paired with a nice salted egg yolk batter, and fried till golden & crispy, oh my, that was a real treat!
👍 Salt & Pepper White Bait- light and crispy
👍 Steamed Tofu with Prawn Paste- simple but tasty
We also had the Egg White & Crab meat with Broccoli. Not the best looking one we've had in town and we would have preferred to break the egg yolk ourselves, but nonetheless, flavours were good and we still enjoyed the dish. Surprisingly, the simple and plain looking Egg Fried Rice was really delicious, single-grainy and light.
The least impressive dish was the Fried Mantou. It was a little too doughy and dense to our liking.
Service was friendly and food was served promptly. Prices are also reasonable for most dishes. Will be back again.
I've been going up Billy Lee's since my uni days. Even are its change of ownership, they have consistently provided great food and prompt services. Their garlic steamed chicken is a must-try!
My new favourite place!!
If you want to try something that will leave you mesmerised, please try the sizzling Japanese tofu. I've never had such an amazing textured dish!! Silky soft tofu warm and gooey, feels like you die and go to heaven!!
Also had the char kway teow, it's my fav noodle dish, was good but missing the traditional charred taste.
I would come here again and again just to have the tofu
Considering you can stumble in here drunk at 3am and still get a good feed, Billy lees does ok. My rating is a little bit generous because I have never been here sober.
Such great service! Love the friendly team. Classic dishes always hit the spot. Thanks for filling me up and putting up with my bitchy friends. Love it. Xox love billy Lee woo
Decided to come here for a late snack and ordered a couple of bowls of porridge. The pork with preserved vegetable porridge was really good and one of the best I've had. The other one we got was the century egg porridge which was good but needed a tiny bit more seasoning.
Deep fried Chinese donuts complemented our porridge as it's eaten in Hong Kong.
Eight of us turned up to Billy Lees late on a Thursday night for post-drinks sustenance. Good move. We were accommodated on the large table and food came out quickly. In the end, $15 each for a good feed. Will try again for sure.
My go to place for special fried rice. Can get hecklers with drunk people, but always a safe bet! Can't remember the last time I had their sizzling tofu...
It's not blow your socks off amazing, but it's good. Prices reasonable, serving sizes moderate to generous, can't fault the service either.
Definitely worth a visit, especially if you want a dining experience instead of the food haul experience of little shanghai.
My hubby missed authentic simple fried rice. They fried well 👍
For me, first time to try fried noodle with wet sauce, it was amazing. The scallop makes good flavour. The braised pork belly was disappointing 😞. I guess it was like ran out since some part was really tender like braised pork belly, some part was chewy. It was like they topped up the lacking quantity straight away when cooking.
Good food at any time of day. Can't really go wrong here.
I’ve been coming here on and off over the years. Always consistently good. My goto for a succulent Chinese meal!
Food is fantastic and the service friendly. The staff were very accurate and helpful with taking our orders and coped really well with our large group even though they were already busy.
