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’d never been to Gyu-Kaku before, and was entirely pleased with it; a fun, interactive meal experience with family and friends. The food was quite good (particularly the spicy tofu chigae soup and steamed chili dumplings - out of this world!) We got the Gyu-Kaku feast for our party of six and it was just the right amount of food. The restaurant was surprisingly quiet for such a busy place. I had no problem chatting with everyone at our table. Our server George was incredible - attentive, friendly, and helpful. It was a bit chilly sitting next to the side door on a cold night, and the cooking tongs were a little short for the more thin-skinned in our group, but otherwise I have no complaints. We will definitely return!

Vibe, service and food were exceptional. Open space with close tables and music level made it quite loud inside. Our server was a real pro, she made great recommendations as we had many questions. We should have asked about the size of the 35$ tuna as it was shockingly small for the price.
