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.

Everything was great, the waiter was too. The cook was a bit messy, food was flying everywhere. I've been to multiple Teppian-style restaurants and the order on which he cooked the food was not good. Normally the food would be cooked together with some placed on different sides of the grill. As the rice is being prepared the other items are slowly cooked until they are brought to the middle of the grill for completion. By the time the other food items were done at this location, the rice was a little cold.

The vegan choice is poor; Please offer more choices with vegan protein ie; tofu (the bowl offered is not up to par) beans, quinoa etc. Crave is always my first choice for lunch with friends, but not after yesterday.

This was our first time at this restaurant, which was suggested by our adult son to celebrate his birthday. It was outstanding! The food was delicious, and the service was fantastic. Our server make excellent alternative suggestions to help with a food sensitivity. It was not inexpensive - we did the course menu experience & added 2 bottles of flavored sake - but worth it for the celebratory experience. I would definitely recommend and would be happy to stop in & sit at the bar and enjoy just the Beef Sukiyaki Bibimbap! It was a favorite of everyone at the table.
