• Sushi • Downtown / North Loop
Booked 73 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.

    Since we went on valentines day it was a set menu. The food itself was great and now I want to go back to try the regular menu. We stayed at the hotel (hewing) also so we went back for breakfast and that was amazing!

    We had a great experience on Valentine’s Day. From the moment we walked in until we left we were treated with great service. Our server Melia was very knowledgeable and helpful in the choices we made. She provided very personable service. Our food was very delicious. We both had the lamb shank. They provided us with a very nice knife for cutting our meat. This was not needed because the meat literally fell off the bone as soon as you touched it.

    In the last half of a decade, on average, I’ve gone out to eat about once a day, 365 days a year. I cannot understate how amazing Boketto was. Food was exceptional, ambiance and aesthetic were unmatched. The real game changer? Our server, Katie E. She was the most kind, well mannered, and social server I have had anywhere across the entire country in the last 2+ years. If you book a rez at Boketto, ask to be seated in Katie’s section if she’s available. You couldn’t ask for a better evening.
