    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!

    Every staff member made our evening a great experience. From the welcoming and warm front staff who seated us, to the smiles from every staff we passed to our AWESOME server Lindsay (made great recommendations, served quickly and gave us wonderful personalized attention though her section seemed as full as a grocery store on the day before a holiday)! Delicious food and drink, too!

    We felt taken care of, the service was attentive and very friendly. When a mistake was made, the waiter addressed it right away. The atmosphere was vibrant on a downtown Friday night. We'd asked for a booth in a somewhat quieter area and got exactly what we wanted. Our family had a wonderful night out.

    Really enjoyed our meal here. The menu has a great selection of food. Had the Paloma and angry dragon martini, both were yummy drinks. The firecracker shrimp was a great starter and the Classic Sushi Platter was larger than we thought with great sushi, sashimi and nigiri.
