Billy Sushi sits at 116 N 1st Ave in Central Minneapolis, led by chef Billy. The restaurant describes itself as a three-part experience spanning a sushi bar, a sake bar, and a dining room, with chefs, bartenders, and servers working across all three.
The kitchen falls under the modern sushi category, with sake pairing offered alongside the meal. Pricing sits at the luxury tier (4 of 4), reflecting daily-flown fish and higher-grade cuts referenced on the menu, which is also posted as a downloadable PDF on the restaurant's website.
