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.

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.

Good concept, food was amazing. Service was great. Downside was that the dinner is timed at 2 hours for 17 courses. At, $900 a couple with add on, tip, etc. the dinner felt rushed. No pause between courses. No time to enjoy the experience. Eat, next course, eat, next course, eat.

Excellent option if you're looking for something unique from a traditional omakase. Compared to other places the portions aren't that big but the unique flavor combination of each dish makes up for it. pre-dinner drinks and appetizers are excellent way to get you prepared for an amazing dining experience. It can definitely get pricey if you add caviar and truffle (additional $150 per person)
My favorite was the Eel with bone marrow drip.
Great place for a special occasion.

My first omakase experience and it was all around amazing! The small group setting allowed for an immersive, intimate experience where we were able to interact with each other and the staff, who answered all of our questions expertly (shout out to chef Kevin, Graham, Aki, and Anne). I am not a huge seafood person but the high-quality proteins paired with the perfect dressings and toppings were phenomenal. My personal favourites were the oyster shooter, wagyu, and unagi. Excellent food and excellent service, will be back!

From the moment you enter after ringing the doorbell, to being seated at the bar area, to eventually making your way to the dining space, this experience is what you would expect from a fine dining upscale sushi restaurant. We got the extra caviar and truffle add one, the additional 3 courses, as well as the sake pairing. The meal was outrageously tasty, services was personal and attentive, food was fresh, creative and memorable. I would absolutely recommend this place for those looking for a unique, high end home intimate dining experience.

Not my kind of place. Will not return.

Fantastic Omakase in downtown Seattle.
Pros:
- Great vibe, there’s a speakeasy aspect to arriving where you ring a doorbell and they let you in 30-40 minutes before your seating time for a custom cocktail (they also offered a no-alcoholic option)
- Incredible sushi! And the chefs are friendly, professional, and top-notch.
- Incredible drink selection. We did the sake pairing on one visit and it was 10/10. On another visit we did mocktails and they were great.
- Be sure to arrive for the pre-dinner drink and snack, it’s included in the set price and it’s fun!

Cons:
- Restaurants like this are expensive (a relative term, but most would reconsider this expensive). You’re paying for the ambience, the experience, and the incredible food and drink. If you’re OK with high prices, this place is awesome.
- We did the truffle pairing and caviar with the first visit; it really didn’t add a lot to the experience. It wasn’t bad, but I wouldn’t do it again. My opinion: Skip the upgrades and just enjoy the experience.

It’s been over a year since I’ve been, but we were driving by when I remembered our not so great but very expensive dinner here. Just another restaurant over hyped by TikTok, that we succumbed to. I think this would be a great experience in their other California or Chicago locations, that actually have a Michelin star, but the Seattle service scene is lack luster. Servers I find don’t quite care enough and the standard from people is also just not met. I wish a dress code could be implemented in establishments that are supposed to be as renowned. We spent over $500 and just weren’t happy with the level of detail that we expected, from service and requirements, that I can’t say it was worth it from our experience. Just try another omakase at a sushi bar for a better deal and probably more personal experience! Sankai was amazing in Edmonds!

Amazing experience! Expensive but worth it, personalized care from the great group of chefs, and a spectacular assortment of sushi!

Fun atmosphere with an antechamber where you can get a welcome cocktail and a small bite. The sushi here is not orthodox and has lots of fanciful toppings. The fish quality is not great - some pieces have that grainy defrosted texture and you can barely taste the fish under the flavor of the toppings.

The most disappointing bite was the foie gras add-on for $40. It was a sickeningly sweetened piece of foie gras torchon on top of sushi rice. They adulterated the one thing that would have been amazing by itself.
