Billy Lee's Chinese Cuisine

SEVEN WORDS; VERY GOOD CHINESE / PHENOMENAL QUIET ROMANYIC AMBIANCE..Billy Lee's was a Whim. We Eat LOTS of Chinese & Otger Asian Cuisines, but I've only Yelped a Small Handful of thise Restaurants. We looked up "Chinese in Bexley," and found Billy Lee's, a little hideaway stuck in an old Strip Mall along Main Street. If you were NOT looking for it, you'd very likely miss it..Luckily, Yelp! delivered once again..When we entered, we were both struck by the quality of the dining room - it reminds me of the 1970s-style Chinese Restayrants, only without the red lanterns or similarly fashioned LIGHTS that gave so many older restaurants a chintzy feel. No, this is quietly classy. The tables are set at an angle, with a wide walkway between. Each table wears a clean and crisp sheet of white craft paper, like you'd find in high-end Metropolitan Gastro Pubs..Wow. We really enjoyed that..We ordered Calimaru, Wor Sue Gai, and Chicken alo amping. The Calamari was quite HUGE, about the size of 3-inch onion rings. It was breaded lightly in a salt-pepper-flour mix that really cried out to be taken up a notch, but it was still quite good..The Wor Sue Gai came in a very brother white sauce; Chinese Vegetables and Spinach surrounded bits of pressed chicken. It was also really good - about a step above average take-out..My wife really loved her Lo Mein. It had a little hint of either Red or Black Thai Peppers, and she ordered a "Level 2" heat. It came out like a Thai restaurant; spicy and ready to attack. Still, my wife really enjoyed the soy-marinated Noodles, which were thick and earthy, like a Wheat noodles.. Our bill was very reasonable, maybe even a tad low at $51. That included an Appetizer, two Entrees, two Sodas..We will return soon, just yo try all the Appetizers, tapas-style.We can hardly wait.

Old school. Solid eats and good flexibility to make vegetarian options. I enjoy the atmosphere and need to visit more often.

Ok so I have a friend that has been raving about this place so I finally decided to check it out and I was pretty disappointed. Apparently I ordered the wrong items at this place. I ordered vegetable lo mein and crab wontons. The lo mein was just ok. I definitely would not order it again. The crab wontons was fried way too hard so I threw it away. My friend said the chicken wings are good but they are not on the menu if you decide to try them. The service was nice. We sat at the bar and talked to the bartender. She was nice. As far as the ambiance it was just that of a local restaurant nothing fancy and it didn't look dirty. I just probably won't be going back

I don't have a picture to right now, but I've had their minced chicken lettuce wraps, spring rolls, crab rangoons, house fried rice, and wor su gai. Everything has been delicious. The flavor is so good you don't need to use their sauces. However, I did pack leftover of the wor su gai for lunch and spilled the sauce in my bag. No big deal. I'll order just order the sauce at lunch since. She said they charge $10 for only the sauce, but the entire lunch is $10.50. Oops!!!! Okay, that didn't happen. I had extra sauce at home and ate peanut butter and crackers for lunch that day. I will add pictures later.

Food staff all very pleasant. Accomdated a large party very easy and quickly ! Very hot flavorful dishes no complaints from the crew at all

Good - amazingBar - awesomeService - top notchAtmosphere- welcoming and funEverything is great

We had a family of 15 dinner here Sat. night to celebrate my dad's 80th birthday. My folks come here since it isn't too far from home. It was my first time.They accommodated us nicely, and had two people waiting on us. It was a really great dinner. Everyone enjoyed their cocktails, beer, wine, appetizers, and entrees. I chose the Crispy Salmon with Garlic. I took half home and it heated up fine. They have a cute bar up front that I could sit at one day soon. We didn't see any draft beer.It's in a strip mall so there is parking in front.

Nice quiet Neighborhood type place where many people probably walk to from home. Excellent service Food was disappointing. Wife's iced tea was almost undrinkable. Hot and sour soup was ok but was mostly sour very little hot or other flavor. Kung Po was plentiful but just Ok. Little heat little flavor just kind of there. General Tso was a little too sweet but would have been good if it was not mostly fried dough pieces with little chicken. Only had three or four good pieces Best thing was the egg rolls They were excellent If I ever go back I will just get half dozen of themThere just aren't many nice sit down Chinese places I have found in Columbus This place deserves another try or two but right now Three stars is about it

WOW! Is all I can say about this place. The atmosphere, the server, everything was amazing! The owner was awesome too; Checking on tables, and working at "ground level" says a lot! We will definitely be back!

Salt and pepper chicken wings are always delicious! Always crispy asked for a side of rice.
