• Sushi • Downtown / North Loop

Booked 93 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.

Went early on a weekday so the restaurant was mercifully not crowded. Seated immediately in the table of our choice, efficient and friendly and knowledgable wait staff. Food order was correct, arrived at the table piping hot (even the toast!) and plated beautifully. And bonus it all tasted really yummy. Love the atmosphere, we will always take our out of town company there. Love the story of how the employees came to own the restaurant and hope it thrives for many years to come.

Good descriptions from the waiter of each roll since the options are endless. He also went into detail about the sake types. Great presentation of the food on sushi boats to make it more festive for the table.
