Sushi by Scratch Restaurants: Chicago Reviews
An Evanston mainstay for delicious sushi
A mainstay for authentic, delicious sushi in a traditional, non-pretentious atmosphere. Still amazingly good after so many decades! Kind and attentive wait staff and chefs. Always a good choice for Japanese fare in Evanston!
Very nice Japanese Restaurant
Very pleasant and clean restaurant. Food was correctly prepared and well executed and tasty. Portions were quite generous. My chicken teriyaki could have been better if the chicken pieces were dipped in the sauce rather than having the sauce sprin
Favorite sushi restaurant in the U.S.
Freshest sushi in all of Chicagoland with a relaxed atmosphere. I’ve been to many sushi restaurants in the U. S. And it’s by far my favorite.
Best omakase experience I've had yet.
Staff and chefs were amazing and very knowledgeable about the sushi and drinks. The restaurant was super clean and comfortable. I would love to go back.
Came here for an early valentines dinner.
It was fantastic! The food and service were top notch. The drinks were really good as well. I thoroughly enjoyed the yuzu drinks. The speak easy vibe and intimate atmosphere really enhanced the experience.
Trendy American sushi that is a very fun experience.
Great fish topped with flavors and textures that are very American and a welcome change. Food was great. Ambiance was very solid as well. This is place to bring friends because the chefs are very interactive. With a group it would be a blast. I'd
Honestly is way overpriced.
Food was good and people are all nice and make good convo but I spent $700 and it wasn't amazing. I've had way better Omakase experiences for ~2-300 and it's a blast. I won't recommend others places here but I can't see myself going back to scratch u
Amazing quality fish and one-of-a-kind experience.
Super interactive and creative. The service was also very good, so nice to get to chat with all the chefs. Highly recommend it!

To start off, Sushi by Scratch is sort of like a speakeasy vibe. Before the appointment you're given a code to use to enter the establishment. At first we were directed to a small room with 5-6 tables. It turns out that was the waiting room where yo
I got a reservation for Sushi by Scratch same day
I got a reservation for Sushi by Scratch same day (Tuesday), fairly last minute. From the reservation site, it seems like reservations aren't too difficult to come by except for the weekends. I reserved for a party of 4, and called ahead to ask if we

Compared to all the "omakase" in Chicago area now, this place was decently priced. (My first time doing a omakase experience in the States). The first thing the host asks when you walk in this secret room from another bar situation is if w
Our favorite Omakase in Chicago.
Vibes were amazing, service was impeccable and food was incredible. Can't wait to come back at least on a yearly basis
Amazing experience all around.
The sushi chef was good at her craft and also a great conversationalist with great stories and interacted just the right amount to please the crowd. The fish definitely was high quality. I hope they get a Michelin nod as they're definitely worth it.
This place is amazing and has really cool flavors.
They recommend checking in 30 minutes prior to your reservation-which we're glad we did. they start you off in a different room for the first couple courses with a complimentary beverage-which you wouldn't receive if you weren't early. We loved the f
New Generation at Kuni's Doing Great!
We are so relieved that Kuni-san's son-in-law has taken the helm at Kuni's. We were afraid that Kuni-san's retirement would be the end of the restaurant, but happily not so. Still, to my mind, this is the local Japanese restaurant most closely rese
Excellent new addition to Chicago's dining scene.
High quality product. Excellent service. Very entertaining presentation.Not traditional - but not too avant-garde. Bill with 2 drinks was about 310$ per person (including three extra nigiri plus tax and tip)
One of the most amazing dining experiences I've ever had.
When we arrived, we were led to a secret door with a code to unlock. We walked downstairs to a velvet curtained room where we were greeted and checked in. There's a small lounge where a server poured us drinks and brought us an amuse bouche. After
This place is fantastic.
Love the secretive atmosphere of the two level basement, choice music and interior decor gave it a cool speakeasy vibe. Food was inventive, delicious, and so fresh -- every piece was really high-quality. I particularly enjoyed the bone marrow, wagyu,

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Sushi by Scratch Restaurants: Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Sushi by Scratch Restaurants: Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FamousStation67, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* FamousStation67 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FamousStation67 for any questions Peter may have as FamousStation67 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FamousStation67 now uses their connections at Sushi by Scratch Restaurants: Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FamousStation67 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FamousStation67 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FamousStation67's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Sushi by Scratch Restaurants: Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
