Price: Moderate
• Sushi • Downtown / North Loop
Booked 75 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.

    Incredible sushi and service! The appetizers were cooked beautifully, the sake was the best I've had, and the sushi rolls are enormous and packed full of good things. They even have a vegetarian roll which is delicious. Not only is the food amazing, but the service is as well. Our server was highly attentive and gave excellent sake recommendations. Highly recommend on all fronts.

    We loved our evening at Boketto! The venue is beautiful and our server, Jayda was excellent. She described the items on the menu beautifully. We shared the Boketto Roll between the three of us and had the Chilean Sea Bass, Scallops, and the Truffle Mushroom Ravioli. Wow!! Definitely recommend all three. We also split the Wedge and Caesar Salad. Delicious, but even split, one salad is enough for 3 or 4 people. They were huge. I highly recommend Boketto! A venue with an upscale vibe and a real plus for Twin City food lovers. We will definitely be back!!
