Most fun experience I’ve had with omakase. The chefs were knowledgeable and explained how each piece may taste based on our preferences. The bartender gave a pairing for each piece

We came here for the Late Night Sushi (after 9:30 on Friday and Saturdays) and it’s one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in a while. The food is affordable, a la carts, and tasty. The staff is super friendly and love the cocktails! Highly recommend!

It's a really good try but I believe with this crew they're getting better. So far I'd call this fancy sushi for beginners.

This was by far the best omakase experience I’ve ever had! I’m quite sensitive to soy sauce, but the team was incredibly accommodating and made sure everything suited my needs—I felt great afterward. We also indulged in extra caviar and truffle, which took the experience to another level of luxury. I opted for the sake pairing as well, which added a fun and delightful touch to the evening. Every dish was beautifully crafted and absolutely delicious. A truly memorable dining experience!

Absolutely terrible experience when making a reservation here. First they make you place a “non refundable deposit” of $50 just to make the reservation. This goes towards your final bill so fine no big deal. They also require a “48 hour notice” to cancel reservations, or they will charge $165 per person. Seems strict but honestly understandable for a small restaurant.

However, there is absolutely no way to change or cancel your reservation! I have spent the past three days calling, emailing and texting the contact information provided and received no communication. There is also no way to manage your reservation through the booking app, it just tells you to email the restaurant. How am I supposed to manage my reservation if you don’t answer my calls texts or email?

So, with my original reservation scheduled for tomorrow, I have to place a lock on my credit card out of fear of being charged over $300 for no showing a reservation that I gave proper notice to change. I have no idea how a business like this can be so dysfunctional, when they market themselves as an upscale restaurant. Absolutely embarrassing and unprofessional. I will also be disputing the $50 charge to my card for the initial reservation deposit, I have no interest in supporting a business that is this terrible at customer service.

Wow I visited this place for my bday to do something unique for my 40th and it was just what a wanted and more. I felt special for my day ! Didnt have to think about the menu because everything was good even the bartenders choice drinks ! The staff was professional and friendly spoke spoken . I think they only seat 8 at a time so it’s pretty intimate and comfortable.

OMG! our meal last night was one of the best meals that I’ve had in my 67 years on the planet! Exceptional service, incredible quality of food…a very intimate dining experience with wonderful staff. The restaurant is newly re-opened and if you are looking for an amazing experience, this is your spot!

We had the omakase at sushi by scratch on march 6th.
Just under 48 hours later we both started developing food poisoning symptoms that lasted several days.
This is the only place we ate at together that week.
While we were both initially skeptical that such a supposedly high quality restaurant gave us food poisoning, I also just discovered they had been issued an order to cease operations by the health department on march 5 due to failure to meet health standards, and lack of permit. Unsafe and frightening.
Stay away if this ever reopens

Good they got shut down. Lack of basic requirements and permits for a restaurant serving raw fish food. On top of that, pricing through the roof!

welcoming intimate space with enough twists on omakase creations and excellent drink pairings to make it a wonderful, unique experience.
