Sushi by Scratch Restaurants

It was the perfect meal. The restaurant is inside the Adolphus Hotel and you wouldn't know it's there unless you're told where to go. It's a very intimate space with just 10 guests per seating, 3 chefs and one bartender.When you first get the instructions on where to go it felt kinda dodgy because you have to be brought up by staff on the elevator to a specific floor in the hotel . Then you have to find the hotel room that the restaurant is in which luckily wasn't too far away from the elevator. Once we got signed in we all sat in a different room with loungey furniture and were provided with a drink and a couple of appetizers to start off. Then once everyone had arrived we were moved over to the main room around the bar.Everyone was perfect at their job, working swiftly and deftly. Not a beat was missed and it felt very comfortable and relaxing. Because there are only 10 guests, there was chatting between us but at the same time it still felt private. We celebrated a birthday and they took a picture for us with the chef and a signed copy of the menu. Very cute touch. The omakase was phenomenal. Easily one of our favorite meals and we would definitely go back in a heartbeat. Reservations were not hard to make like some other omakase places in town which was nice. If you love sushi and omakase I would definitely give this place a shot.

There are so many omakase restaurants in Dallas area now but I decided to take my mom here for her birthday and we absolutely loved everything about it!! Such an intimate space and when you first check-in, you are directed to a waiting room area where they serve a small cocktail and an amuse-bouche. Then the host takes you back to the sushi bar, its only seating of 10 people. There are 3 chefs and one server for drinks. Each bite and each sushi piece was so delicious and flavorful!!! My mom doesn't go to omakase often but she loved the experience and loved the food as well! At the end, because it was her birthday, the chefs and the whole group sang her happy birthday and they took a Polaroid picture for us to take home! What a nice little treat. Definitely recommend going here for any special occasion! You will not regret it!

This was by far the best omakase experience I've ever had. Everything was just perfect and you can tell the host and the chefs truly love their craft.It was intimate, fun, a learning experience, and overall extremely delicious. What more could you ask for?

My first Omakase experience and I highly recommend! Got there on time for the a pre-dinner cocktail and canapés. So worth it! So if you book, be there 30 minutes prior to your reservation time!Now, I had no expectations since it was my first time. Loved the vibe with the group and the staff. And the food was amazing. I did the drinks pairing. They do have one with whiskey and you can ask and they offer you a wine pairing as well, since it is not on the menu.

My reviews typically highlight photos to really get an idea of the ambiance, cuisine, and drinks. However, Sushi by Scratch is so unique and the lighting is not designed for photos - it's designed for people to forget about everything else except the curated experience at an elevated level even from the start as you find the secret door in a regular hotel hallway.... And that's exactly what your time will look like. Yes, I love high-end sushi as you know from my other reviews and I absolutely give Sushi by Scratch my enthusiastic endorsement - great food, fun experience and unique. It's a small number of people seated with you and everything is tailored to a nice, intimate experience with your staff while enjoying very high quality sushi. So many courses, so much attention to detail in careful presentation with lots of flavor compliments to enhance each bite!As for the cost? If you just get the dining experience and water, you'll still have a good time but I say splurge a bit - get some cocktails or a pairing flight, pop for the extra courses at the end - have some fun! It's sushi done splendidly!Tell the GM, Beau Taylor, that Tait says hello :)

All I can say is WOW ! The food here was amazing the best sushi I have ever had in my life ! If you can get the sake and cocktail pairing it complements the sushi so well ! The chefs were so friendly and engaging. Just wow I will def be back again amazing food and drinks ! 1000 percent reckoned !

I won't go into too much detail on this review because the whole point of this restaurant is discretion. The experience here is very personal and not intimidating for those who are not sushi or culinary afficionados. All you need to know is you need to bring your full wallet. You will get what you pay for... and you will pay! Well worth it! We had the complete experience (if they offered it - we accepted it) and I suggest you do the same, if you can. Culinary Excellence!

Such a fun experience in a speakeasy like vibe! Love that this takes place within one of the rooms of the Adolphus. Each part of the experience was delicious, and the service was impeccable all throughout.

Such a great experience! Food was great, service was top-notch, and such a fun dining experience in general. I've tried a few omakase places in the past and I'd say this was one of the most intimate experiences so far. Chefs were so friendly and willing to mingle in conversations. All the fish were fresh and rice texture was on point. Some of the sushi's I wished had a bit less sauce on top but overall everything was great. I also liked that the 16 courses all consist of sushi only. My favorites were Madai, Toro, salmon, and Kanpachi. I heard they will be moving back to their speakeasy room soon from their temporary space so I would love to go back and try again.

Please do not go here unless you want really bad food poisoning, me and my boyfriend went recently and it was not worth it we were sick for 5 days, couldn't hold any food or liquids down the restroom was a mess, it was so bad it felt like a near death experience waking up at 3 to run to the restroom, throwing up in my sleep. Will not be going here again. Wouldn't wish that on anyone it felt so horrible I'm not sure if it was the fish not being fresh or the cooks didn't was their hands but either way I used to love sashimi now im traumatized. And please get more comfortable chairs they they are not comfortable at all imagine paying 900 because we got the truffle and caviar just to sit through a annoyingly painful chair and to get sick not worth it give your money to Komodo or somewhere actually worth it.
