• Sushi • Downtown / North Loop

Booked 99 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.

Reliably exemplary service and superlative food at Manny’s. I love this restaurant so much I will forego 3 visits to a mediocre restaurant to visit this restaurant once every 4-6 weeks. Where else can you order fresh oysters on a Monday in Minnesota and have them taste better than the coast? Manny’s! The service is always perfectly attentive while appropriately restrained. The pours are strong and well balanced. The food is really expertly prepared and presented. I ordered steak done blue (knowing it is always a bit a of crapshoot) and It Was Perfect. And the atmosphere and seating is always so comfortable, never fussy. Damn I love this restaurant.
