Chopsticks — Sushi & Chinese Bar and Restaurant
Chinese-Japanese combo with strong drinks near Simpson Bay Resort.
Why Go
Chopsticks on Billy Folly Road in Simpson Bay solves a common dining debate — Chinese or sushi? — by offering both under one roof. Located at number 25 near the Simpson Bay Resort and Marina, this casual Asian restaurant has built a following on the combination of generous portions, fresh sushi, and cocktails strong enough to earn their own reviews.
The Experience
Billy Folly Road is Simpson Bay's resort corridor, and Chopsticks serves the hotel and villa guests who populate this stretch. The dual Chinese-Japanese menu means every dining group can find common ground: sweet and sour chicken for the Chinese traditionalist, sushi starters for the raw-fish enthusiast, fried rice for the crowd-pleaser, and dumplings for the group that wants to share. The portions are repeatedly praised as generous, which on an island where restaurant portions can be small relative to price, matters more than you might think. The bar punches above its weight — drinks are described as strong and well-made, adding a cocktail-bar dimension to what might otherwise be a straightforward Asian restaurant. The $$ pricing and convenient location near three major Simpson Bay hotels (The Villas, Simpson Bay Resort, Baker's Suites) make Chopsticks an easy, walkable dinner for a large chunk of the resort corridor's visitors.
What to Try
Pork steamed dumplings are a versatile appetizer for the table. Sweet and sour in all its variations (chicken, pork, shrimp) is the Chinese menu's proven performer. From the sushi side, ask which rolls are house specialties. Do not underestimate the cocktails — they are a genuine draw.
Insider Tip
Billy Folly Road at 25 is directly in the Simpson Bay Resort zone — walking distance from multiple hotels. The restaurant's casual format means no reservations are usually needed, but busy evenings during high season can create waits. Strong drinks mean you can pace yourself and still have a full evening ahead.
