• Cocktail Bar • Downtown / Mill District
Booked 79 times today
There are ninety-nine different ways to write “sushi” in the Japanese script of kanji. Each with its own unique interpretation and meaning. It was with great deliberation that our founder, Billy, chose 寿司 to best represent his personal interpretation of the word - Celebration of Fish!That’s exactly how Billy feels about the art of making sushi and the atmosphere that surrounds it - it should be a celebration! Which is why Billy Sushi is more than just a restaurant, it is an experience for anyone who allows themselves to take part. A three-ring performance of sorts - sushi bar, sake bar and dining room - brought to life by the performances of sushi chefs, bartenders and servers. And the Ring Master and your host, Billy.

    We had a delicious lunch. We shared three pizzas and an entree called Juk served in a bowl. The jasmine rice in the bottom of the bowl was like a warm porridge. It was so filling on a cold day. The short rib meat on the Juk was very tender. The shared entree was polished off. We opted for a spirit-free drink called El Santo because we were heading to a cookie decorating event afterward. The drink was delicious. The server recommended the drink, and she was spot on. We look forward to returning again.

    “Walking into Billy After Dark felt like stepping into another world—a perfect blend of mystery, energy, and charm. From the moment we arrived, the vibe was electric. The space is impeccably designed, with just the right amount of cozy intimacy and upbeat energy. Our server, Maddie, was phenomenal—attentive, personable, and had excellent recommendations. You could tell she genuinely loved what she was doing, and it made our experience all the more special. The food? Absolutely incredible. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, bursting with flavor, and perfect for sharing. It’s rare to find a place that nails both the food and the atmosphere so flawlessly. Hats off to the ownership and staff who have clearly poured their hearts into this place. They’ve created something truly exceptional—a fun, high-quality experience that works whether you’re celebrating with a big group or having an intimate night out. I can’t wait to come back!”
