Price: Moderate
• Sushi • Downtown / North Loop
Booked 102 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.

    What a breath of fresh air! We went for a birthday celebration. The staff immediately kicked it off by honoring our celebrant with a glass of cava. The service and exceptional experience continued from there. On service, our server was the best we've had in a decade at least. She kept an eye on us, stopped by when needed and never left us looking for her. She also joined our celebration, making it extra special. On food, everything was beautifully presented, high quality, well prepared and fairly priced. Drinks were absolutely delicious. And the environment was fun and energetic without being overpowering. Finally an experience the way is supposed to be. Thank you!!!!

    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.
