Description:
An Asian restaurant on the edge of the Italian North End might seem incongruous, but this casual spot fits right in. It serves excellent renditions of the usual dishes, and the kitchen also has a flair for fresh seafood. The pan-Asian selections and sushi are as enjoyable as the Chinese classics. Start with wonderful soup, sinfully good crab Rangoon, or fried calamari with garlic and pepper. Main dishes range from nine kinds of fried rice to scallops with garlic sauce to the signature "Ocean Three Treasures," shrimp, calamari, and scallops in a scrumptious sake sauce.
Be sure to ask about the daily specials -- bitter Chinese broccoli, when it's available, is deftly prepared. Most lunch specials, served until 4pm, include vegetable fried rice or vegetable lo mein; I'm hooked on the udon noodles with shrimp in miso broth. You can eat in the comfortable main dining room or near the bar, which has French doors that open to the street. Although it's opposite a trolley stop, Billy Tse isn't especially touristy -- the neighbors obviously welcome a break from pizza and pasta.

Nice change of pace in the North End
-
This is a pan-Asian restaurant with huge portions, so apply the n - 2 formula for entrees (4 adults = 2 entrees) if you do not want to take food home. We enjoyed everything, though...
