Sushi by Scratch Restaurants: Dallas occupies a compact counter inside The Adolphus Hotel in the Dallas Downtown Historic District. The space seats only ten guests, all at the counter, which keeps service close and conversational rather than formal.
The menu is built around nigiri with original touches rather than strict tradition. Hamachi arrives with a dab of sweet corn pudding and sourdough breadcrumbs, and classic pairings are reworked using a house-fermented soy sauce. Drinks follow the same approach, with cocktails, sake, and beer alongside the omakase courses.
The restaurant is run by chefs and owners Phillip Frankland Lee and Margarita Kallas-Lee, and it is listed in the Michelin guide. It falls into the luxury price tier, consistent with its limited seating and chef-driven format.
Sushi by Scratch Dallas is open nightly from 5:00 to 9:30 p.m. Reservations are taken by phone at (214) 272-2759, and given the ten-seat counter, booking ahead is advisable. The address is 1321 Commerce St, inside The Adolphus Hotel in downtown Dallas.
