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.
“Billy Sushi absolutely exceeded every expectation and made my birthday dinner one I’ll never forget. I decided to treat myself for my birthday, and from the moment I sat down, the experience was incredible. I ordered all three cuts of bluefin tuna to compare them, and the fatty bluefin (otoro) was honestly one of the best pieces of sushi I’ve ever had. It completely melted in my mouth—it was so good that I had to order it a second time. To make the evening even more special, the chef Miguel surprised me with a complimentary piece of smoked fatty salmon after hearing it was my birthday. That personal touch meant so much and perfectly reflects the hospitality here. Every bite showcased the quality of the fish, the attention to detail, and the skill of the chefs. The service was warm, genuine, and made me feel welcomed from start to finish. If you’re looking for some of the best sushi in the Twin Cities, Billy Sushi is absolutely worth it. I’ll definitely be back—and next time, I’ll be ordering the fatty bluefin again. Thank you to the entire team for making my birthday celebration so memorable!”
“This was my first time at Billy‘s sushi and it was absolutely fantastic. I loved how the flavors were all natural. For example, my beef stir-fry was marinated in a very juicy, but not strong marinade and it brought out the natural flavors of the beef wonderfully. The noodles were delicious and extremely fresh. The Miso soup was so tasty. I will definitely be back. The staff is also extremely friendly and kind and we had a great time with them.”
“People had long recommended Billy Sushi to me, but only final just got there. It was definitely worth the wait. Good atmosphere, and some of the best sushi I’ve had in Minneapolis. Billy is not cheap, and it’s sufficiently packed all the time so it’s unlikely to be a regular haunt. But worth the splurge (especially if a wealthy friend offers to buy). Will go back.”
“Came here for my birthday. So glad they allow reservations. We sat at the sushi bar. The workers were friendly and said hi. Serve was nice. Our favorite thing we had were the tostadas!! It was their special that day. The mango , cilantro? Tuna.. with that crunch … and what ever yummy sauce the had on top Was amazing Everything was delicious. Of course I had to try the bluefin while I was there.”
“Billy Sushi offers incredibly delicious sushi with deep dives into wonderfully crafted rolls featuring amazing flavors as well as more traditionally inspired specials. This month's omakase featured tuna cuts demonstrating ideal lean and fatty cuts, as well as the balanced cut topped with urchin. It also included a cooked yellowtail collar that offers the diner some rarely seen buttery morsels of white fish. Billy has crafted nothing less than the finest sushi experience while the staff will ensure you want for nothing and can recommend a selection of sake for any palate.”
