• Sushi • Downtown / North Loop

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.

Our server Sam was fantastic. His recommendations for food and beverages was spot on and made our decisions fun. I had been once before and service was good but really glad Sam took care of us this time. My friend and I were celebrating 27 years of friendship and a night away from hubbies and kids and he surprised us with glasses of bubbly at the end! Loved our experience. A supervisor or manager dropped off one of our entrees as well. And Louise our busser was fantastic too. Definitely will recommend friends to come for a lovely and delish dinner! Lamb ragu was amazing! Endive salad superb! Trout a little salty maybe because of soy sauce? Beverages on point and many options! Thanks for a great night!
