Billy Kwong

¢-$$, Chinese, Surry Hills

User Rating: ***** 5.0

Fodor's Review:

Locals rub shoulders while eating no-fuss Chinese food at TV chef Kylie Kwong's trendy drop-in restaurant. Kwong prepares the kind of food her family cooks, with Grandma providing not just the inspiration but also the recipes. Even the dumplings are made by specialty chefs from Shanghai. If you have a big appetite, indulge in a variety of dishes with Kylie's banquet (A$75). Although the table you're occupying is probably being eyed by the next set of adoring fans, staffers never rush you. But you could always play nice and ask for the bill through your last mouthful of scallops with XO sauce or steamed wontons.

Friendly service only outshone by the remarkable flavours

Posted by George from Sydney on 2/5/06

Billy Kwong offers a taut menu of new wave Chinese. Piquant flavours surprise while the staff do their best to guide the newcomer through the menu. The eclectic offerings, ranging from spicy cucumber salad to crispy skin duck with sour plums, never fail to please and surprise. Service is friendly, attentive and helpful.
