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!

    Billy Sushi is a culinary gem in Minneapolis that redefines the sushi experience! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a vibrant atmosphere and an attentive staff that makes you feel right at home. The menu is a masterful blend of traditional sushi favorites and innovative creations that showcase the artistry of the chefs. The quality of the fish is unparalleled—fresh, buttery, and bursting with flavor. Their signature rolls are a must-try, each one crafted with precision and creativity. The sashimi platter is a feast for both the eyes and palate. The Miso Cod is melt-in-your-mouth perfection, and the French Laundry 19 roll is a luxurious masterpiece, inspired by their omakase series. With foie gras topped with caviar, it’s a decadent bite that truly takes the dining experience to the next level. What truly sets Billy Sushi apart is the warm and lively ambiance. You can tell the team here takes pride in creating not just incredible food but an unforgettable dining experience. Whether you’re a sushi connoisseur or trying it for the first time, Billy Sushi is the perfect spot for a special night out or an indulgent treat. I can’t wait to return!

    Just isn’t what it used to be. Everything is an upsell and the classics are no longer on the menu. In demand items moved to the omakase only, like the fish cheek, and rolls like tekka maki (simple tuna role) aren’t available. The omakase is the ultimate upsell too, since it doesn’t at all match the photos and has multiple tiers above the listed to add additional courses. Never do you get a box of many small bites like pictured. So you spend easily spend $200 a person with drinks when you expected $100-$150. It just isn’t worth that.

    Best sushi in MSP by a wide margin. Love the food and ambiance. Still hoping to get down to the private Japanese whiskey collection one of these days!
