The story
Sushi by Scratch has quickly cemented itself as a premier destination in New York’s omakase scene. Jack’s Dining Room emphatically agrees, calling it the “best omakase in the city” and noting the meal “far exceeded my expectations.” The experience begins in an inviting tasting lounge with complimentary cocktails, then unfolds under the direction of a multi-Michelin-starred chef.
Standout bites highlight the kitchen’s creative approach, including a signature bone marrow toro nigiri and a toro preparation served with pineapple and Okinawa brown sugar crème brûlée—a sweet-savory finish that Jack’s Dining Room praised. With an intimate setting and meticulous progression, this Manhattan spot delivers a sophisticated evening that lives up to the hype.
