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.

The service took too long. We were waiting for over an hour after being seated to even have our order taken, after the meal the server barely came to check on us. Where we waited another 30 minutes before getting our bill.

My partner and I do not like spicy food and found many of the menu items to be spicy. The waitress was helpful in letting us know which entrees/items could be modified though. In the end we were satisfied with what we did order. One unfortunate thing that did happen was I took the time to fill out your survey before we left the restaurant in order to receive a $10 coupon, but they didn’t have any way of connecting that coupon to us because we paid with cash. We left the restaurant as “complete unknowns” unless they use my reservation information.

The noise level was terrible. We had to change tables due to the noise level. One if our group had noise sensitivity issues. The staff was accommodating and found us a less noisy table.
