A modern-Argentinian wood fire steakhouse, with a wide variety of seafood, vegetable and pasta dishes. We also have private event options that showcase the best of what we have to offer. DANIEL DEL PRADOBorn in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Chef Daniel del Prado is the child of parents of Spanish and southern Italian descent. After moving to the United States in his early 20s, del Prado began his culinary career in Colorado—cooking at night and snowboarding during the day. Upon moving to Minneapolis, he had the opportunity to work in some of the finest kitchens in the Twin Cities. In 2009 del Prado teamed up with his mentor, Isaac Becker, to open Bar La Grassa in the North Loop. When it came time for del Prado to open his own concepts, he burst onto the Twin Cities scene with his premiere Linden Hills restaurant, Martina, and opened the Oaxacan Mexican-influenced Colita just a year after. Chef del Prado has continued to open new and innovative concepts.

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.

    Good was amazing. The white fish bean dip was really good. I could’ve had 2 of those. The portion was great for 2 to share. Duck was perfectly cooked and the skin was crispy and delicious. Perfect noise level. Great and relaxing ambiance. Service was stellar. It was nice to dive at a very relaxing and roomy place. So many restaurants are noisy and chaotic.

    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!
