The Austin outpost of Phillip Frankland Lee's Sushi by Scratch — the omakase concept that earned a Michelin star in its California original. Seventeen courses of nigiri unfold across an intimate counter, built on Scratch's signature house-made twists: smoked and torched fish, unconventional toppings, a chef-driven progression that bends Edomae tradition toward invention. It's a small, theatrical, reservation-only experience — serious sushi delivered with a sense of play.
