Overall great food and service. We enjoyed everything and are hoping they think about adding dinner maybe with small plates to enjoy the great bar later than brunch. Highly recommend.

Sushi

Downtown / Mill District

About the restaurant

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.

Best sushi in MSP by a wide margin. Love the food and ambiance. Still hoping to get down to the private Japanese whiskey collection one of these days!

Five star service all the way! My family was attending a holiday concert at the nearby Basilica in Minneapolis and reserved a table for 8 and we had not been to the Capital Grill in years - We were delighted by the ambiance and we were seated at a splendid large table. Our server(s) were knowledgeable and professional and attentive. The wine selection was excellent and the food was incredibly delicious.

We were hosting a small family gathering pre-Christmas show. Zelo was the perfect ‘appetizer’! It’s our favorite Minneapolis restaurant and never fails to impress. Food is delicious, ambience perfect and a special thank you to our server Erica who was the perfect mix of attentive without being intrusive.
