Price: Moderate
• Sushi • Downtown / North Loop
Booked 81 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.

    Awesome food and service! Everything we ordered was high quality and the service was really good. We got the seaweed salad which I strongly recommend - nice balance of salty/sweet/sour and fresh/light start to our meal. Next was the avocado tempura which was good but not a “must-have” since there wasn’t anything extra special about it. The miso cod was so good! For the main meal, which by this time pretty much full - had the beef udon which was very good - maybe a bit on the salty side for the broth but that beef was very tender and flavorful. The broth had a buttery note to it and it was just all around yummy! My partner ordered the naughty ninja roll and silly billy roll. Both were so good - a lot of food and made really well with fresh fish. So glad we stopped here for dinner during our work trip. Highly recommend!!!

    Pimento Kitchen in Minneapolis is a must-try! I had the chicken curry, and the spice level was just right—full of flavor with the perfect kick. Loved the reggae music playing in the next room, which created a great atmosphere. It was my first visit, thanks to a friend's recommendation, and it won’t be my last. If you’re looking for authentic Jamaican food and great vibes, this is the spot! Highly recommend for anyone craving bold flavors and a fun dining experience. #PimentoKitchen #JamaicanFood #MinneapolisEats #AuthenticFlavors #ChickenCurry #ReggaeVibes #FoodieFinds
