About Billy Lee's Chinese Restaurant

Tucked down a Northbridge alley, this Chinatown stalwart is Perth's landing pad when late-night hunger hits. Bustling, loud, and unapologetically retro. Night owls fill the two-floor dining room and alleyway tables for fast Cantonese staples powered by serious wok hei. Longtime regulars steer newcomers toward the sizzling tofu bubbling over egg on a hotplate, crisp salt and pepper squid, and shareable heaps of fried rice. The kitchen keeps running past 2 AM, the live seafood tanks hum, and settling the bill in cash earns a modest discount.

  • Old-World Chinatown Vibe: A bustling multi-level room and alley patio deliver a loud, retro Chinatown atmosphere that has stayed unchanged for decades.
  • Late-Night Comfort: Open well past 2:00 AM, feeding concert crowds and late-shift diners with piping-hot supper plates.
  • Standout Sizzling Tofu: Arrives bubbling on a hot cast-iron platter over egg, delivering comforting savory aromatics.
  • Massive Portions: Dishes like special fried rice and claypots come in hefty, group-friendly servings built for sharing.
