Billy Tse

They have a lot of return customers. Their Yang Chow fried rice was excellent and lots of Umami flavor. The Pu Pu Platter for one could feed two. The alcohol was just right. Erin, the bartender was very friendly.

In the heart of Boston’s Little Italy, Billy Tse remains one of the neighborhood’s most unexpected food spots. For more than 25 years, it’s been my quiet go‑to for shrimp tempura maki, tekka maki, Vietnamese chicken, miso soup, spicy string beans, and baby bok choy, dishes that have stayed consistently good. On Christmas Eve, when much of the city shuts down and options narrow to Chinatown’s late‑night standbys, Billy Tse is the rare North End restaurant still open. The décor hasn’t changed, but that’s never been the appeal. You come for simplicity, affordability, and an unpretentious meal in a neighborhood known for everything but pan‑Asian cuisine. A dependable classic that never tries to be anything other than what it is, and that’s exactly why my former North End neighbors and I keep returning.

Chicken fried rice is great! Great Chinese food in the North End.

I got the salmon teriyaki. It tasted delicious. The presentation was amazing. Also, I got the thai chicken basil & that was really delicious. The scallion pancakes are the best. Everything was absolutely delicious and priced nicely.

The Combination Fried Rice, IMO is an old school style rice that’s hard to find in most states. The visual appeal of the rice is 5 stars. The flavor profile is 4 - 4.5 (texture was pretty good between the bean sprouts and the BBQ pork). Customer service for us was ‘meh’. It was moderately cold outside so they had the heater piped up to scorch mode. 3 stars for both of those. Ordered the California roll (1 star). I would eat here again purely based on the egg rolls and fried rice. I’m confident the customer would improve if you vocalized it. I chose this place for the rice and egg roll (was not disappointed).
