A word of advice if you plan to dine at Sushi by Scratch Restaurants: Come hungry. This artisanal concept from husband-and-wife duo chef Phillip Frankland Lee and pastry chef Margarita Kallas-Lee offers a 17-course omakase worth every penny of the $165-per-person price tag. Stepping through an unmarked door, you’re transported to a sushi speakeasy with an intimate 10-seat counter and a highly curated tasting menu. The offering changes seasonally, and sports dishes that are often wildly creative, unexpected riffs on traditional counter classics. Eel is cooked right in front of you using bone marrow drippings heated by a blowtorch. Hamachi is brushed with sweet corn pudding and topped with sourdough breadcrumbs. Otoro is accompanied by caramelized pineapple before it’s hit with homemade soy sauce and freshly grated wasabi root. While Sushi by Scratch Restaurants's sister restaurant in Montecito was the one awarded a Michelin star, in our book, the Encino location may as well have been a recipient, too.
How to book: Reservations are available via Tock.
