Billy Sushi
Price: Moderate•Sushi•4.9(79)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.Ciao Bella

- DDeniseMinneapolis - St. Paul •1 review4.0Dined on Feb 14, 2025Thee ribeye and the hanger steak were exceptional. Really good, kudos to the cook. The service was awful. She just wasn't on her game on Friday the 14th. Our salad/ soup came with our meal, not before. He ordered a bowl, received a cup. Ordered our drinks after our meal was being prepared. Took 20 min to get our dessert to us, sent it back, asked for the bill. Looked like there was plenty of staff on so not sure if she was properly trained. Was only looking for better for my husband on Valentine's Day. Again I say, the streaks were very good. Thank youMore infoTEN 01 SOCIAL - Hilton MinneapolisPrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Downtown / North Loop•3.8
