About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Hot spot
  • Lively
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.

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: Creative rolls like the uncultured swan with shrimp tempura and unagi sauce set the stage for a rollicking time at this always-busy North Loop hotspot. Chef and owner Enkhbileg “Billy” Tserenbat has been cooking in the Twin Cities for more than 20 years and often checks in on tables himself, so don't feel shy asking him for menu recs. Settle into one of several sleek tables, choose a drink from the extensive sake and whisky selection, and be prepared to have one of the best nights out.

    Bad, bad experience. Made reservations months in advance. Still had to wait over 40 minutes for our table. Staff could not have cared less. Waiter was horrible. Used to be such a great place to come. Too many other great places with amazing food and caring staff. So sad.
