Last night, Bret and I decided to continue our farewell tour with one last order from Billy Tse's. Bret and I both had really long days and still had more packing to do. By the time dinner arrived, we were both ready to take a break for Chinese food for dinner. The best thing about this meal was that Bret and I didn't even need to consult each other on the order. Although we've tried a lot of different items on their menu, we have three favorite dishes and we both knew these dishes would be ordered for this "last meal".
First up, the pork fried rice. While roast pork fried rice isn't exactly the most unique dish, I love that Billy Tse's tastes fresh and is filled with lots of bean sprouts! Plus, you can actually taste the pork instead of the usual cloyingly sweet chopped boneless spareribs that are usually found in pork fried rice.
Our second dish is always the spicy family-style bean curd. I credit this dish as finally convincing Bret that tofu is a fantastic ingredient to cook with and eat. Since then, he has been eating my own tofu creations without a second glance!
Our final dish is the crispy aromatic Yu-shin chicken. When we first ordered this dish, I was nervous that it would be too sweet but I love the fried batter and sticky sweet sauce surrounding this chicken.
Of course, the best thing about Chinese food are all the leftovers and we both knew we'd have plenty for lunch (and then some) the next day.
I'll definitely be missing Billy Tse's once we move, but I'm looking forward to discovering our new go-to Chinese delivery place in our new neighborhood!
Billy Tse's is located at 240 Commercial Street, Boston, MA.

Love Billy Tse's! When I worked at the Intercontinental, we would order our chinese food from there.
I've been on a continuous search for really good Chinese food in Boston. I was fairly happy with House of Chang in Cambridge but now I want to try Billy Tse's. The fried rice looks so good
The fried rice does look good! I hope your packing is winding down!
oh my goodness, now you have me craving their crab rangoons and chicken lo mein! i think ill be ordering from there tomorrow night. i love that it was on your farewell tour!!!
I love that a North End spot is on your farewell tour. I like Billy Tse's a lot and have ate there and got take out quite a few times but always for sushi not Chinese food. For Chinese our go to is china house on Hanover!
A good Chinese place is definitely something my neighborhood is missing - this meal looks great. And the leftovers ARE the best!
That looks absolutely delish! I am not even moving, but I am nostalgic for you just reading your posts.
I love the Farewell Tour edition! I'll have to start packing in the next few weeks, and I am not looking forward to it. :\
I love pork fried rice. It's always my tester dish when I'm trying out a new Chinese restaurant (as well as wonton soup and egg rolls). If those three things are good, then we can order from a place again.
This farewell tour is awesome! I'm sorry you won't be able to go to these again (or for a while), but what a GREAT idea!
I LOVE this place! My boyfriend lives right next door but we're moving soon too, so I think a farewell might be in store for us too. The fried rice is the BEST!
I love Billy Tse's! I ate it a lot when I lived in the North End and I love that it has Japanese and Chinese. They have great scallion pancakes and vegetable tempura. Another favorite - the veggie lo mein - the noodles are more like linguine than typical Chinese noodles!
A website named plusboston.com is using this article. Did you give them permission? Just wondering, because they just stole ten of our posts without asking.
Just a heads up, keep up the good work!
