MAR2026 So we ended up sitting in for the night on the whim from a friend of mine. And a really delicious whim that was. The sushi chef, his sous chefs and the staff lead a splendid night. Each step was curated in its own way with descriptions for anything we ate, origins, and the connection with the chef. Things started outside in a waiting area with an introductory drink and appetizer. Once things were ready to go inside, we were ushered in and had name places for each of our seats for the evening. If you needed to use the restroom there isn't one organic to the space and you had to go back into the main hallway. We were given 16 courses of fish listed on small chalkboards along the back wall, and then dessert to follow. Everything tasted delicious. My partner had gotten the sake tasting to go with it which added nicely with the food. My favorites for it were the tuna tail, miso steamed egg, hamachi, the shrimp, and the baby octopus. The tuna tail was such an interesting presentation, and the flavors were simple and clean. The miso steamed egg was just comfort. The hamachi melted with how it was prepped with each bite which was great. The shrimp was really fresh, and easy to bite through. The baby octopus tasted amazing, simply seared and was so easy to eat. A number of ingredients were flown in fresh, or from Japan as they added to the dish. The wasabi was also fresh but locally sourced from the US. It was amazing to hear all of the small details that went into each piece and the inspiration behind the dishes. Certainly, a beautiful experience and some of the best sushi also in the area. read more

This was hands-down the best sushi I have ever had in my entire life. I have traveled all over the world and eaten sushi, both high and low end. I don't know what more I can tell you. This is the absolute best sushi experience that you can go to. I really hope they get a Michelin star!! The place is intimate and the service is fantastic and the food is literally to die for. read more

Sushi by Scratch serves absolutely amazing food, but our latest visit was overshadowed by a very troubling experience with their billing practices. We ordered a bottle of sake listed on the menu for $230. When the check arrived, we were surprised to find we were charged $280. Only because we had taken a photo of the menu did we catch the discrepancy. When we asked about it, the staff told us the actual price was $295 and that they had "undercharged" us--claiming the menu was incorrect. This kind of dubious pricing completely ruined what should have been another wonderful dining experience. If the menu contains errors, customers should be informed upfront. Charging more than the menu price without prior notice is unacceptable and leaves a very bad impression, no matter how good the food is. Unfortunately, this would prevent us from returning to this place or recommending it to others. read more

My friend introduced me to this omakase place in 2024. I recently revisited again with more friends and the place is just as good as I remember two years ago. It is definitely an intimate experience as there are only 10 seats in a very small, dark room. The chefs and server are AMAZING! They are very knowledgeable and know what they're doing when it comes to preparing the fish to showcase certain flavor profiles and as to what pairs well with it. They are also super attentive and make the experience so lively and fun. Every piece of nigiri is well crafted and such a flavor bomb. There's not one piece on the menu that I didn't like. Every bite has a story behind it and the flavor will not disappoint. I would highly suggest going early (suggested when you book the rsvp) so you can enjoy the complimentary cocktail and appetizers beforehand. The chawanmushi is a must have from the pre-dinner offering that you shouldn't miss! Overall, the service and food is 10/10. I will definitely be back more often! read more

This was my first omakase experience. Took myself here for my birthday. They set the bar HIGH! It's a 10 seat bar omakase. Basically 18 courses if you come 30 mins early for the optional welcome cocktail and canape service (which I recommend you come for). Service and attentiveness is spot on upon arrival. I got lucky with parking right in front but it is street parking. So come a little earlier just in case. The restaurant is located inside The Matheson so you check in with them in the front. Once your party is complete and reservation time is about to begin, they walk you inside. There are name cards where your seat is which is super cute. The chefs and bar server introduce themselves and the menu/drinks for the evening as it does change periodically. The story telling while each piece is served was awesome! All of the chefs are entertaining and funny and the food was delicious and fresh. At the end of the service, they give you the option to order any roll again or to try a roll from the next week's menu. I ordered the otoro again which was my favorite of the night. Some of my other favorites were the hamachi, kinki, snow crab, kanpachi, wagyu, and bone marrow (though they were all so well prepared). They do have sake pairings to go with the meal, however I opted for cocktails instead. Such a treat for my birthday. Service and food were top tier. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Been 3 x once in the original in Los Angeles- one of the best meals I've ever had. 2x Healdsburg. Each time successively good but diminishing Great staff. Big issue I'd say portions are half size fish now. Last time 2 weeks ago I left hungry. Last year quite full. For this price should not get tiny bite sized pieces. Even the chefs joked they order double meals themselves. Additionally the once intense extra flavors or toppings have become minimal losing the intense flavor bombs. Sadly at this cost I can't return for just "appetizers" read more

Hands down the best omakase I've ever had--and honestly, even better than the sushi I had in Japan (just my personal take!). The experience is incredibly intimate--only 10 seats per seating, so you're up close with the chefs, who guide you through each course with passion and precision. Every piece is a perfect balance of tradition and creativity, with unexpected flavors that work. It was so good, I booked another reservation for next month--this time bringing my parents so they can experience the magic too. If you're a sushi lover, this is one of those meals you'll be thinking about long after it's over. read more

Consider it dinner and a show! Amazing sushi. The omekaze had 17 courses but with the amouse bouche and one add on course we had 20 courses. Everything unique which is so hard to find in the world of nigiri. The chefs did a beautiful job. Menu changes weekly with complete menu change every 5 weeks. The only negative to my experience was that they allowed two dogs in the restaurant (which is an open kitchen). These were not service dogs, they were in a stroller and the owner confirmed they were just her pets. This is a definite violation of the health code. I emailed the restaurant to inquire as to this allowance but received no response at all. But I didn't take off any stars for that because the place was so great. read more

Hidden inside The Matheson in Healdsburg, Sushi by Scratch has a dramatic vibe that lets you know you're about to embark on a special culinary adventure. The space is intimate: a single counter with ten seats that put you front-row for a performance filled with playfulness, expert technique, and a deep respect for ingredients. Our recent omakase experience began with a cocktail and canapés, easing into a progression of 16 nigiri that showcased not only stellar sourcing but a steady stream of creativity. Hokkaido uni, scallops, and Spanish bluefin (otoro, chutoro, akami) were handled with the same care as rare finds like Itoyori (golden threadfin bream) and Kinki (idiot rockfish) from Hokkaido's deep waters. House-made garnishes set the tone for originality (e.g. bourbon-barrel-smoked golden Kaluga caviar, XO-sauce made with unagi jerky, yuzu kosho fermented with roasted Fresno chilis) alongside unexpected touches like pink pineapple and Hokkaido beet sugar. Standouts included Kagoshima hamachi, its sweetness lifted by corn pudding and the crunch of sourdough breadcrumbs; Hawaiian albacore rubbed with garlic confit, wrapped in sake-soaked nori, and dry-aged for a week; and A5 Wagyu bone marrow, seared until shimmering, that melted across the tongue in a pure hit of umami. The most unforgettable bite came when marrow was torched and dripped straight from the bone onto matcha-dusted unagi -- a combination so indulgent it's burned into memory. The pacing was spot on, with enough breathing room between bites to appreciate each build-up. Service was as much part of the show as the sushi, with the chef narrating the pieces with enthusiasm and pride. Ambiance was moody and transportive, fitting for the "speakeasy" entry. $185 for the menu seemed proportionate to the rarity of the ingredients, the caliber of the team, and the inventiveness woven throughout the night. Sushi by Scratch doesn't just serve fish; it serves moments that stick with you long after the last bite. read more

We had the most amazing night at Sushi by Scratch in Healdsburg! The chef's counter felt so special and every bite of the omakase was insanely fresh and creative. The chefs made it fun and interactive, and the sake pairings were perfect. Book early - this is a must-do in Sonoma County! read more

My friend invited me for a Sunday night dinner. We had been to the Matheson many times prior and were astonished to hear about a hidden omakase restaurant WITHIN the restaurant itself and had to try it at least once. This whole experience blew away all my expectations, and I'm confident to say this might have been the best dinner experience of my life so far. We arrived 30 minutes early for the pre-dinner out in the veranda. We were served a welcome cocktail similar to a Moscow mule but with the addition of sake and use of gin instead of vodka. The canapes served alongside were a small roll of tuna tartare wrapped in fried nori and a chawanmushi with caviar. Both were an amazing start to the dinner, and it only got better from there. We were welcomed into an intimate 10 seat bar with our names written on a small chalkboard showing where we would be seated. The head chef, sous-chef and 2 servers each introduced themselves and what would be served for the dinner. My friend and I got the sake pairing with our omakase. Each piece of nigiri was eloquently described by the sous-chef while the head chef would prepare the next piece. They were ALL amazing, and it only got better and better. The creativity of each accoutrement that was topped or brushed onto each nigiri blew me away. The pieces that stood out that night were the sweet shrimp with a "harissa" inspired sauce, the albacore wrapped in seaweed, either kanpachi or kinmedai (idr cause I was 3 glasses of sake in) grated with their version of bottarga, and the best piece, unagi with matcha salt and melted bone marrow. 20/10 The chefs change one piece of nigiri every week, so I can't wait to be back for another unforgettable experience. read more

Food is one bite style chef chose menu. Menu rotates depending on the season and what is fresh currently right now. If you enjoy sushi overall you will like this. It's a modern take on Japanese style nigiri. Food 5/5 stars. The chef was very knowledgeable and provides great informations about each food prepared. There was great attention to detail for the dinning experience. Service 5/5 stars. The ambiance was a private small 10 seat dining experience, that is around a sushi bar concept. A nice quite environment. 5/5 stars. read more

Food: 4 Decor: 4 Service: 4 Came here for dinner after making a reservation the evening prior. We opted for the welcome cocktail and showed up 30 minutes earlier than our reservation time for that along with a few bites in the outdoor area behind the restaurant. Cocktail was okay, and 1 of the 2 bites (chawanmushi) was decent. Dinner was a 17-course omakase inspired tasting menu includes 16 pieces of nigiri + 1 dessert bite. Overall, most of the nigiri was quite tasty although they all had unique toppings on top vs. more traditional edomae-style nigiri. Overall, definitely a unique experience with a modern omakase. My favorite bites were the hotate, snow crab, iwashi, wagyu, unagi, uni,and matcha bonbon. Least favorite were the cucumber / mushroom / ginger (would have preferred traditional ginger) and amuse. Service was good, although I was a bit confused why we didn't get a polaroid picture when the party next to us did. read more

Had dinner here a few weeks ago. Loved it, definitely recommend! It's located in a tucked away room inside The Matheson. Pre-dinner was slightly awkward bc they told us we could arrive half an hour early for complimentary pre-dinner drink and a couple of bites so we did but then were left lingering for a while (until almost the dinner start time) as they tried to hunt down everyone else scattered around the bar area killing time. This may have been bc they did mention they were doing the pre-dinner in the room instead of outdoors (I assume bc of the weather). Once we were at dinner though, everything was fantastic! We were sat around the sushi chefs so we had a good view of the prep. Every sushi was well-described. There were some innovative ones (like the bone marrow one) and some fish I had never tried before (like kinki idiot rockfish, delicious, definitely look up what they look like and you'll understand how they got their name lol). We were told there are I think 5 nigiri that are staples of the menu at all the Sushi by Scratch locations, but the rest are created by each site's team. At the end of the meal, you're given the opportunity to add on revisits of ones you really liked or to try some experimental ones (that may make it onto future menus). We were already feeling really full but couldn't pass up the opportunity to try more so we copied another couple and added 3 more experimental ones, and I'm glad we did bc they were great too. My partner got the beverage pairing and they were super generous with their pours. Loved that they took a Polaroid of us at the end of the meal to take home! read more

What an excellent experience! All around, we really enjoyed our time at Sushi by Scratch. Upon being seated at our seats with our names written on slate, we were presented with a complimentary cocktail. This is a very small venue with just about 10 seats in total. Each course was presented in front of us, explained in detail and the food was delicious. It is an adventurous meal with many courses of different flavors and materials. The staff was excellent, answering questions about the food and preparation and ensuring we were having a great time. Highly recommended if you love non traditional sushi and love to learn more about the ingredients and prep of the bites. read more

What a hidden gem! This was absolutely a divine sushi experience. One for the history book. Chef Willer Larreal and his crew have created a beautiful culinary choreography. From the toro, to the fresh and delightful scallops as well as the A5 grading Wagyu Nigri. I though I was in paradise with some remarkable and innovative sushi rolls. The Omakaze menu is original and adventurous in its continuum of original tasting discoveries. The service is friendly, attentive and professional. Be aware the room is located in the back of the Matheson restaurant. So not easy to find, it was really a hidden gem...... read more

Five stars aren't enough. Dining at Sushi by Scratch in Healdsburg was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Every detail--from the ambiance to the artistry behind each bite--was phenomenal. The chef brought such energy and expertise to the experience, making every course feel personal and inspired. The atmosphere was warm, intimate, and beautifully curated--an immersive escape into the world of elevated sushi. The staff were equally impressive: incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive without ever being overbearing. Their passion for the food and the story behind each piece really elevated the evening. And the food? Absolutely wonderful. Every bite was perfectly balanced, thoughtful, and bursting with flavor. Each course felt like a surprise and a gift. We're already planning our next trip back. If you're looking for an extraordinary omakase experience in Sonoma County, this is it. read more

Hands down the best omakase experience I've ever had. We randomly stumbled upon this spot and managed to grab the last reservation of the day--and it turned out to be the highlight of our night. After dinner, you can keep the experience going by ordering more sushi and drinks without feeling rushed. The speakeasy vibe makes it truly special. Everything from the music to the laid-back, friendly atmosphere, to how the chefs and servers were dressed, felt thoughtfully curated. The bartender crafted incredible cocktails, and every single sushi piece was unbelievably fresh and flavorful. Can't wait to come back read more

What a great experience bringing an upscale sushi experience to Sonoma County right in the heart of downtown Healdsburg. We started with a welcome drink and appetizer which was optional 30 minutes before the dinner started. We were then taken to the private dining where there was a host explaining each dish and two chefs preparing. We also had another server for drinks and anything else we needed. The spot prawn, wagyu, and unagi were my top favorites of the night. The only thing I didn't love was we opted in adding the truffle option to our dishes which was an extra $100 and it was only on 3 of 16 courses which was not pointed out before we added. To me it wasn't worth the extra $. Other than that, overall great experience, ambiance, and food/service was great! read more

We had reservations for 8:30pm and ended up being the only two there for dinner. There were 5 staff with us and we felt the entire meal was rushed. By the time we started eating the first piece of sushi, the next two were already prepped, it felt extremely rushed and they ended up getting us in and out for dinner in around 35 minutes. I bought the drink pairing and while the gentleman serving was nice, he was clearly in training. He would pour a drink and not mention what it paired with, then another woman in the room would loudly whisper to him to correct him and he would come back. They were moving so quickly that twice he came over and asked me to take a sip of my drink so he could get the next one ready. One of the staff members stayed in the corner the whole time just watching us eating from the dark. The last few pieces of nigiri are meant to be eaten as soon as they are put in front of you. He had us eat our bone marrow then immediately had a piece of wagyu in front of us. I understand it can be awkward with only two people in the room, but we still deserved a well paced meal. We tried pausing a few times to make small talk and they all just looked at us, so we uncomfortably pushed forward. We have had many friends enjoy this experience and everyone told us you get to revisit a fish by the end. We were only offered the option to purchase more a la carte. By the end we had 3 staff members all lined up on the back wall watching us eat our desert and the other 2 outside ready to take payment. I feel we both did our best to remain positive through the experience, but it also didn't feel comfortable to call out the service during dinner. I reached out via email and we left feedback on our follow up email from the restaurant and nobody reached out. Maybe I should have been rude in my correspondence, but we also work in hospitality so I was opting for a lighter approach. Generally we just move on if a dining experience isn't worth our time, but considering this was over $600 for 35 minutes it felt like feedback was needed. read more

I wanted to put 4.5 stars.... 5 stars for the experience, 4 stars for sushi. This review is for New Year's Eve dinner. Shout out to the staff for being so understanding and accommodating. I actually made the reservation on the wrong date, I wanted to make it on the 31st December but apparently from Friday to Sunday they were offering New Year's Eve menu...dumb me made it on Friday. I got the confirmation email and then I realized my mistake, I emailed them and they gave me a same day response so I didn't have to worry about it for long time. No extra charge thank god Ambiance 5/5: First you will be seated in a dark outdoor area with the rest of your stranger companions, I'm very lucky to have a nice batch of friendly talkative people as I came a party of one. So there's like 8 strangers chatting with each other and they served us a pregame yuzu cocktail in a teacup, super delicious, they also serve us a welcoming bite. I guess after everyone has arrived we are to be transferred to the dining area, a small room with a large bar counter with three sushi chefs and a sommelier. I really like the transition it was like teleporting to another place. I really enjoyed that part. It says arrive 30 minutes earlier to the reservation and I guess it's to give guests time to interact with each other to enjoy the experience together. The ambiance is cozy and bright, the chefs were cheerful and funny. Food 4/5: This is innovative sushi so it can be hit or miss. It's mostly hits for me, however I must say some sushi with the heavy sauces are a little bit acidic there were 1-2 pieces that didn't work out for me. Also the truffles didn't really have much truffle taste as it's probably frozen truffle I suggest putting truffle oil or truffle salt on the piece instead and then adding some truffle for decorations. The pieces that did work out though were spectacular. The nigiri with the pineapple was creative and tasty, the akamutsu is my favorite nigiri, it'a like an otoro that melts into your mouth, im glad they had that tonight. All the fish tasted fresh as it should for the price point and their brand. I wished there was a soup or something cooked in between the nigiris. It was just starter sake, one small bite a chawanmushi, nigiris, then dessert. I was full so I'm not complaining but perhaps taking out some nigiri and putting a different course there would be better and more variety. The dessert was also very delicious but I again I wish there was more that dessert was so small :/ I can eat like 2-3 of those Service 5/5: I wasn't served by the main chef but my chef I believed is the best when it comes to service, he wiped my plate every single time a new piece came, I have a thing for crumbing I like my table spotless all the time if I'm out eating fancy. I look over to the left where these guests are served by the main chef and he didn't wipe their sushi board for every piece their plate was dirty like all the time, I'm glad I didn't have to take pictures using their plate. Look how clean my plate look. I'm really thankful for him, he did it without me requesting. The sommelier was really nice as well they had wine pairing I didn't order but I ordered a sake and a cocktail, I would skip their sake, the cocktail was really delicious. I think I ordered a beehive? They have mocktail option too hehe. The chef introduced each course though in a fun way it wasn't boring or dull, he tried to feed us knowledge with a sense of humor. So it was fun throughout the dinner. Everyone had small talks with the chefs and the people around. I didn't feel like I was dining alone at all. I would recommend going here as they said the menu will change often, it's exciting to see what new flavors they will pair the nigiris with. I hope they will take all the criticism and excel. I might not be coming back for awhile as it's a long drive, but I do wish them the best. Please remember that you are paying for the experience. The food and drinks is good but don't solely judge them for that. Remember a nice dinner includes the environment, the atmosphere, the companions, the food, the experience, and the service. I had a wonderful time here despite maybe not enjoying 1-2 piece of nigiri. read more

My husband and I booked dinner at Sushi by Scratch to celebrate a birthday and had an incredible time. Due to our reservation time overlapping with the final quarter of the Superbowl we had the extra intimate experience of being the only people seated at this already very intimate experience. The chefs and staff were incredibly kind, friendly and provided us with an excellent time. Sushi by Scratch is not just a meal - it's an experience and an education in food. I described it to a friend as getting to eat a food documentary - beautiful, educational and incredibly delicious! We started with a complimentary cocktail and 2 bites on the patio before our seating time, before heading into the intimate room, aptly described as a speakeasy sushi bar. What followed were 17 of the best bites I've ever had, including meals I've eaten in Japan. The chef has crafted a beautiful assortment of flavors and textures, taking care into every single piece served. I loved getting to hear about where certain elements came from (most imported directly from Japan) and how each fish was chosen to pair with the unique flavors used. Up close and personal you get to watch the beautiful art that goes into crafting the perfect bite and a wide variety of techniques. Certainly not the type of meal you have on the average Tuesday but I can't highly enough recommend taking the time to spend as special evening in this space - you'll feel transported, which is the highest compliment I can offer to any meal. read more

We made the trip from Palau also to try Sushi by scratch and it was a wonderful omakase experience. The experience is very intimate with only bar seating for 10 or twelve people.

We will definitely be back and strongly recommend it. read more

Not well advertised, but what a great little spot. It's in the back of the Matheson and there's nothing that guides you to the sushi restaurant, but ask the server out front! The service was amazing and the food was incredible. The chef was such a nice guy and the servers really knew all about the pairings. Be prepared to pay a hefty bill, especially if you do the pairings that are offered (about $100+ for the whiskey or saki pairing and there was another pairing for added chef specials and black caviar for another $100+). I'd definitely go a lot more often if it was more reasonably priced. read more

I really wanted to love this place/experience but there were just a few things that made it a 4 star experience as opposed to a 5. First off I will say that the sushi was delicious and I had some combinations of fish and relishes that I had never had before - points for creativity! The few things that unfortunately were not my favorite were the fact that the pre dinner drink was served outside. I appreciate that this part of the experience was complimentary but I was still turned off by the fact that part of this Michelin star experience was outside - it was behind the building with the sun blinding everyone sitting on the south side of the table and unfortunately lots of flies. The second thing that rubbed me the wrong was was the fact that when one of the wait staff was asking us if we'd like to do a caviar add on for $100, I was saying that I wanted to think about it, when another server swooped in and said "c'mon it's your anniversary!" (it was noted on our reservation that it was our anniversary). I was very turned off by this pushiness. read more

I took my wife for Valentines Day and had an excellent dinner and experience. I don't particularly care for sushi so my expectations were low. Ended up with a new appreciation for Sushi as the experience provided 17 courses of high quality fish and meat. It's pricy but part of the my rating is based on the experience with great service and cool setting. Was fun interacting with others at the table and chefs. Fish was fresh and the preparation for each piece accentuated the taste. I would highly recommend. We plan on returning with the family. read more

Whether you are a local or visiting Sonoma County, if you love sushi, you must add this place to your bucket list. It's a masterful symphony of flavors, one piece after another selected and prepared entertainingly by the chef and his team right in front of you. Each piece is a euphony of perfectly balanced little explosions in your mouth, all arranged from beginning to end to create an entire night where the focus is all about the joy of dining out again. The tiny, intimate room where you sit with 7 to 9 other patrons around the chef's bar keeps the focus on the enjoyment of each bite and allows you to share the experience like you're dining with friends or buy out the whole place and bring them with you for a really special occasion. It's not a cheap night out, but that's the point, each moment from the pre-sit cocktails and hors d'oeuvres to accompanying liquid beverage, to the dessert, (if you have room), is planned out for you and meant to give you a fully focused complete dining experience like nothing else in Sonoma County. And for those who may have dietary restrictions, other than fish of course, they can accommodate you, so everyone can enjoy this truly pleasurable night of dining. A definite five stars from beginning to end. read more

What a fun and great experience! If you love sushi you will most definitely love this place.

This is a full on 5 star experience. Sushi to match the best Omakase you can eat. This is a private room in The Matheson Hotel, 10 seats, 17 courses. There isn't a bad (or average) bite of anything. Nice, personable head chef and staff. Great cocktail/sake list and pairings. Sushi by Scratch Restaurants are well known in Southern CA and Miami (also TX and WA we found out!).
