• Sushi • Downtown / North Loop
Booked 48 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.

    Another amazing experience at Billy Sushi! Brought family that was visiting for the holidays and they absolutely LOVED the experience of the sushi boat, the ambience, and the amazing sushi! They all said hands-down one of the best meals and the best sushi they’ve ever had. Server was very friendly and polite, worth every penny!

    “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!”
