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.

I thoroughly enjoy my experience every time I am at Cafe Lurcat. I appreciate the ambiance as much as the knowledge of the staff. The food is always amazing. I’m extremely grateful for gluten free accommodation and attention to ensure my selections are safe to eat. This is the only restaurant that truly makes me tear up by dessert from the pure joy of the flavor explosion in my mouth. Truly wonderful.

Had the pear sandwich for dinner, the queso for the chips was homeade and next level good. My date had the bison tacos, they were delicious. We had the lemon ricotta hot cakes and bison Benedict for breakfast the next morning. The service was excellent, I am going to recommend it to everyone going to Minneapolis and I will definitely go again.

Pimento Kitchen in Minneapolis is a must-try! I had the chicken curry, and the spice level was just right—full of flavor with the perfect kick. Loved the reggae music playing in the next room, which created a great atmosphere. It was my first visit, thanks to a friend's recommendation, and it won’t be my last. If you’re looking for authentic Jamaican food and great vibes, this is the spot! Highly recommend for anyone craving bold flavors and a fun dining experience. #PimentoKitchen #JamaicanFood #MinneapolisEats #AuthenticFlavors #ChickenCurry #ReggaeVibes #FoodieFinds
