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.

    I love Crave. I moved away from Minnesota a few years ago and missed this place. So of course I had to visit a location when I came back to attend a family event

    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!
