What people say, in short
Sushi by Scratch earns recommendations for omakase across Los Angeles, including Beverly Hills. Enthusiastic diners describe exceptional sushi, including a birthday meal compared favorably with Japan. Cost is a recurring caveat. Dissenters report disappointing experiences, prefer Nozawa Bar, or feel the business has declined as it expanded; their experiences do not all name the Beverly Hills restaurant.
