Billy Wong to resurface

Here comes Billy Wong again.

Wong has drawn a following from his days at Queen Village's Mustard Greens (1992). Every so often, he turns up -- perhaps "Wong" is a Cantonese transliteration of "Waldo." The last few years have found him at Billy Wong's in Old City and then in Northern Liberties with a short-lived place called Taste (it's now Modo Mio) and then at Ly Michael in Chinatown.

He's looking to revive the Billy Wong name in Warminster Shopping Center (340-342 York Rd.) next week. This place was David's and most recently Yazmin. (That's Yazmin, not Yasmin.)

Concept: affordable, fresh and delicate Chinese cuisine.
