The 38 Essential Restaurants in Los Angeles
"The original Sushi Note in Sherman Oaks debuted in 2018, making a splash in Los Angeles’s acclaimed omakase scene by thoughtfully pairing wine with traditional sushi. The winning formula resonated with Angelenos in a big way, and now, with Sushi Note Omakase, chef Kiminobu Saito, along with partners Andy Paxson and Dave Gibbs, are taking the sumptuous experience to the next level. Tucked in a Beverly Hills parking garage, the 14-seat sushi den is overseen by culinary director Earl Aguilar and beverage director Ian Lokey. Together, the two have created an exclusive omakase experience grounded by a parade of pristine nigiri paired with thrilling pours. The 20-course menu clocks in at $235 per person; wine pairings, which lean European with a slight emphasis on French varietals, level up every morsel and start at $150. — Cathy Chaplin, senior editor" - Eater Staff
