Beautiful presentation and taste to the food. Excellent waiting staff that night. A rewarding cross section of recipes used to provide dishes giving you a wonderful surprise to your palate. Clean flavours and well presented. Bit busy and noisy surroundings but it depends on the time you go. Early is quieter but most people, unless your 75 yo, don't eat... More

Been here a few times over the year and the service and food has remained top notch! Its a great place to go with a group as most dishes are designed to be shared and enjoyed with company, and is reasonably priced when doing so - highly recommended! More

It was our first visit and had high anticipation. Arrived around 8.30pm on rainy Wednesday night and waited for 20 mins for table which was OK. We sat at one of middle tables and surrounded with very loud noises. We also noticed very fungi smell in the restaurant which almost put us off but decided to stay since we were... More

Have been meaning to try this restaurant for some time but the idea of queuing put me off. In retrospect it is a much better option than having to book months in advance. As we were spending the weekend at the Adina apartments I lined up at 6:00pm and left me mobile number with a request for the next sitting... More

This is the best Asian food I have ever eaten. I have dined at Kylie kwongs extraordinary restaurant 4 times now. I look for excuses to travel to Sydney just to eat some of the magnificent duck, and in the absence of excuses, this most recent trip from Melbourne was just to eat at billy kwong. It's a small restaurant... More

We happened to be walking down Crown Street heading to the Sydney Football stadium when we notice (because it was Good Friday) that the line to secure a table at Billy Kwongs was short, so we waited a short time for what has been one of the most memorable eating experiences of my life. The food was brilliant - we... More

This is such an exquisite place that marries beautiful authentic Chinese food with art and taste. The restaurant is always busy and the staff is always helpful and cheery.. I enjoyed my entire dining experience and love every dish we had. It feels that the food are cooked from fresh produce. I highly recommend this restaurant. More

Been here many times and still love it. A Sydney friend recommended it to us when we moved down and we were not disappointed- we've since taken all our visiting friends there to amazing reviews! The food is amazing, the wine list small but well chosen, the staff are friendly and efficient and know the menu very well. The place... More

We went early around 5.40pm before they opened and there was already 6 people in line. Service is ok and we had to wait quite long for the food to arrive but when it did, it was good. Quite pricy for a casual place. More
