"Hadley Tomicki described an omakase: "An especially tough call this year, but the omakase at [this spot] at the SLS Hotel was a singularly memorable night out from beginning to end. It showcases so many novel preparations of sushi, while never drawing attention away from the natural flavors of the fish, which was among the best I’ve ever had. The atmosphere was spellbinding, and everyone working there was so warm and cool." (Quote preserved with the restaurant name redacted.)" - Eater Staff
"I’m excited that chef Phillip Frankland Lee is returning to Los Angeles for a three-month residency of Sushi by Scratch at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills, where his signature LA-inspired omakase—marked by ample butane-flame technique and thoughtfully sourced fish—will be offered for $185 at 5 p.m., 7:15 p.m., and 9:30 p.m. beginning October 2. The concept, which has nearly a dozen locations nationwide and recently made a splash with a New York residency, continues Lee’s trajectory after he and his wife opened the original Scratch Bar (now the space for Kazan Beverly Hills)." - Matthew Kang
"I experienced the omakase by Phillip Frankland Lee at Sushi by Scratch and counted it among my best meals of the year." - Ashok Selvam
"A California-born omakase concept founded by a chef couple who began with a Beverly Hills restaurant in 2013, it expanded into Los Angeles and later Austin (first as a pop-up that became permanent), then grew into multiple locations including outposts in Montreal, Miami, Seattle, and Chicago as well as an omakase spot at a resort in Cedar Creek. The founders also opened Pasta|Bar in Los Angeles (which earned and retains a Michelin star) and have operated other ventures such as a casual burger stand; they reorganized their brands under a single restaurant group and relocated some operations to support expansion and new projects." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Michelin-starred Sushi by Scratch Restaurants from husband-and-wife duo Phillip Frankland Lee and Margarita Kallas-Lee will be popping up at the Beverly Wilshire beginning August 4, open to both hotel guests and the public through October 4. Diners will be seated on chef counter seats, capped at groups of 12 with three seatings per night. Seats are $165 per person and reservations are now live on Tock." - Virali_Dave
