An unforgettable team dinner and experience from start to finish! We had our team dinner at Billy Sushi, followed by drinks at BAD (Billy After Dark), and the entire evening was exceptional. Billy Sushi truly lives up to its philosophy of sushi being a “Celebration of Fish.” From the beautiful presentation and incredible flavors to the energy of the restaurant, everything felt intentional, lively, and special. What really stood out was that it wasn’t simply dinner. It felt like an experience. The sushi chefs, bartenders, and service team created such a fun and welcoming atmosphere, making it the perfect place for our team to relax, connect, and enjoy an amazing meal together. Ending the evening at BAD, the speakeasy beneath Billy Sushi, was the perfect finishing touch. The atmosphere was unique, sophisticated, and fun, and it made our team dinner even more memorable. Fantastic food, creative cocktails, wonderful service, and an atmosphere unlike anywhere else. Billy Sushi and BAD absolutely delivered. We will definitely be back!

We are frequent customers and for a reason! The menu changes as customers give feedback. The service is the real reason we keep coming back. From hostess stand, to bar service, table service and our best recommendation is our private dining experience. Strong recommend.
