Sushi by Scratch Restaurants: Healdsburg

  4.5 – 30 reviews   • Sushi restaurant

Social Profile:

This eatery from Chefs/owners Phillip Frankland Lee and Margarita Kallas-Lee is no ordinary omakase spot. The nigiri are not just supremely finessed but also infused with original touches—like the dab of sweet corn “pudding” and sourdough breadcrumbs that coat slices of hamachi. Even traditional pairings become transcendent with his house-fermented soy sauce. The iconoclastic vibe extends to the beverages, including cocktails, sake, and beer. Despite such originality, this bar does indeed adhere strictly to one tradition: a mini counter with seating for just ten to ensure a deeply personalized experience. Your time here is bound to pass in a blissful haze of convivial chatter. – The Michelin Guide

Let me start off by saying the people complaining about the pricing or the automatic 20% gratuity clearly don’t understand what they’re getting.
Incredible experience from start to finish, with a total of 21 courses (the chef adding an additional two at the end) and our party chose the Sake pairing (hand selected by the chef) to go along with the courses which I also recommend.
The fish all sourced from Japan except for the Albacore which is local from Fort Bragg in Mendocino County. The wasabi, freshly ground into a paste, the chef provided is from the only farm outside of Japan up in Mt. Shasta where the grower redirected one of the mountains streams to go through his wasabi garden. And the rice, from two ancient grains also from Japan and cooked a specific way that is superb. All of the sauces and seasonings were created by the head chef himself which took him days to be able to produce.
So to have a super private, intimate, and close experience with the chef and his sous-chefs, to go along with the phenomenal quality in seafood, rice, wasabi, sauces, seasonings, and Sake, this experience is like no other. You’re not just paying for the food and service, but the experience and knowledge knowing how much time and effort was put into each course.
Highly recommend for an anniversary, birthday, or really any occasion. Will definitely be coming back next year to try and whole new tasting menu. 10/10.

The best sushi of my life. My family went here and was stunned by the quality. Each fish was interesting and unique in flavor with a melt in your mouth texture. Additionally the atmosphere and custom drinks, palate cleansers, and dietary changes felt so special. We all left feeling amazed and blessed by a truly special meal.

I always question the taste of people who like Sushi by Scratch cuz atp do you even actually like sushi? Anyway, this location wasn’t that different than the others – pretty standard fair w the odd 2-3 more unique pieces to keep it interesting, toppings galore w little respect for craft and shari kiri being performed at the start of service but little attention being paid to the temp of the rice as the night went on. Bad, just bad

Absolutely amazing from start to finish! It has a speak easy vibe with an intimate feel. The team is extremely knowledgeable as well as friendly. The atmosphere is great for a special date night or friends gathering. All of the ingredients are purposefully sourced and crafted. Delicious and creative flavor profiles. Also highly encourage doing the sake pairing!

The best way to eat here is bringing your own group and sitting at every seat. This makes for a nice and fun experience. However you eat here, it’s incredible.

Delightfully pretentious delicious food. Creative, but a stereotype of fine dining at the same time. Definitely an intimate atmosphere. I enjoyed every course. You are paying a lot, but it’s a whole experience. There are no surprises about the price.

Top quality, expensive sushi and sake. But not the best dining experience. The service was a bit pretentious, rigid, and overblown. (Except the sommelier was great.) Not good at accommodating disabled customers, it was difficult to navigate with a walker, and the acoustics were very poor.

What an amazing experience. It’s intimate and they cater to your dietary restrictions. Explain each omakase they have prepared and it’s done in front of you. The chef was personable and the staff new your names. It was seriously an experience I haven’t had before.

An exceptional omakase experience.

I’ve observed that most of the low rated reviews were over the price of the experience.

The experience is quite expensive, but worth the experience if you understand what you’re getting yourself into.

The head chef creates a personalized intimate atmosphere, with a touch of fun. He takes you on a journey from the locally sourced produce, to the remote seas of Hokkaido Japan and the Mediterranean coasts of Spain. Each one of the ingredients are thoughtfully used in this experience and are put together with finesse and sophistication.

It’s a delight for individuals looking for a food experience that challenges tradition and incorporates ingredients that cause you to second guess yourself in your mind. However, you are delightfully surprised with how wonderfully well they compliment one another in execution.

I am a local to Sonoma county, and I plan on visiting again to see what the chef has prepared for next season.
