JP, Noel, and Kevin, Thank you for being absolutely incredible. You are the heart of this establishment, and the world deserves to know it. Thank you for making my two year anniversary a memory that will be etched in my heart for a lifetime. The entire evening was unforgettable, not only because of the phenomenal omakase experience itself, but because of the people behind it. I can honestly say I will never look at sushi the same way again. After tasting the incredible bites you crafted for us, I have officially become a sushi snob. What truly elevated this experience beyond the food was the intimacy of it all, the conversations, the stories, and the opportunity to learn about your journeys and passion for the culinary arts. That personal connection made every course even more meaningful. Thank you for creating something so special. We left feeling celebrated, inspired, and incredibly grateful. I already can’t wait to come back for my birthday celebration.

Easily my favorite restaurant in Chicago now. My girlfriend and I came here for our anniversary and were blown away by the 20-course omakase (the caviar and truffle additions are a must). Every single bite was a 10/10. What sets this place apart is the world-class staff. Kevin, JP, and Noel run a flawless, high-energy, and educational experience. The synergy behind the counter is amazing; they are funny, personable, and master craftsmen. To management: you have an absolute dream team on your hands with these guys. Thank you for a life-highlight dining experience! We’ll be back soon.

Sushi by Scratch has been at the top of my list for a long time, and I finally got the chance to experience it. It’s an only 10 person dining experience. First, the positives: the privacy, atmosphere, and overall experience were incredible. This is a 16-course (2 course extra) omakase dining experience where each piece of sushi is hand-crafted right in front of you. Part of the experience is watching the chefs prepare everything while they walk you through the ingredients and techniques. The salmon, wagyu, caviar, and truffles are sourced from highly specialized suppliers, and the quality absolutely shows. The chefs were one of the highlights of the evening. They were witty, personable, welcoming, and easy to talk to throughout the experience. Great customer service matters a lot to me when dining out, and they truly elevated the meal. That said, I do want to give an honest warning about the pricing. The experience is advertised at $185 per person plus a 20% service charge, but there are several optional add-ons that can significantly increase your final bill if you're not paying close attention. When you arrive, you're greeted in a small waiting area before being seated at the

My first time at Sushi by Scratch for the 9:30 PM seating, and it was a total vibe! If you’re looking for a fusion Omakase that’s high energy and interactive, every 17 bites of sushi so yummy .this is it. The storytelling and the chefs’ personalities really make the night. Chef Win and Chef Ice were absolutely amazing, and the guy make cocktails so fantastic. The host was so welcoming, too. This is hands-down one of the best Omakase spots in Chicago.I’ll definitely be back!"

One of the best Omakase that's we've had. Every detail of the experience was well planned. Chef and staff were charming and kept the process quick and informative. The quality of the fish was fantastic. The non alcoholic pairing was excellent, without overwhelming the flights of food. Caution it is expensive but well worth it
