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.

Another amazing experience at Billy Sushi! Brought family that was visiting for the holidays and they absolutely LOVED the experience of the sushi boat, the ambience, and the amazing sushi! They all said hands-down one of the best meals and the best sushi they’ve ever had. Server was very friendly and polite, worth every penny!
