Thoughtful sushi creations paired with extensive wine list
"This tiny spot on Ventura has two of the world’s greatest gifts under one roof. Not only does Sushi Note serve some of the best sushi in Sherman Oaks, but it’s also a wine bar. If it’s your first visit or you want to make the most of your life, get the Whole Note omakase. For $140, you get 12 pieces of perfectly-cut sushi (everything from red snapper and otoro to gravlax that will ruin all other gravlax), edamame, miso soup, a starter, a handroll, and yuzu gelato for dessert. Let the waitstaff suggest wine pairings to match your sushi—even if you just order a few la carte pieces of nigiri." - brant cox, sylvio martins
"Sushi Note is a wine bar/sushi restaurant hybrid—a dream combination that’s somehow still pretty rare. Whether it’s your first time or your 14th, order the Whole Note omakase. At $150, this isn’t the world’s most affordable omakase, but after eating 12 pieces of high-quality sushi, edamame, miso soup, a starter, a handroll, and dessert, you’ll feel like this meal has more than earned its price point. Then make friends with the sommelier, who will happily course out all the wine you need." - brant cox, sylvio martins
"Nota bene: Sushi Note is far from a postscript. Whether you're here for the supreme fish or distinctly focused wine selection, it hits all the marks. The sleek dining room is defined by soft fabrics, moody colors and provocative artwork, including framed letters and photos.Chef Kiminobu Saito showcases serious craftsmanship, ace textures and rare flavors in his seasonal plates, available in half-note or full-note omakase menus or à la carte. The attention to detail is remarkable, with every piece of nigiri and sashimi cut to order. Meaty and sweet scallop with truffle salt and citrus, perfectly aged king salmon from New Zealand, kochi with a subtle note of "char," and Japanese halibut fin with a brush of soy are among the best." - Michelin Inspector
"A trip Downtown isn’t necessary for outstanding sushi in Los Angeles. The Valley’s low-key wine and sushi spot is a secret find on Monday evenings, where locals can take in quality omakase and nigiri paired with a thoughtful wine list. The modest interior and somewhat hushed vibe with jazz tunes make it a solid spot for a date night or any occasion that calls for great sushi. For a special night out, order the full or half omakase, and put the course of the meal in the chef’s hands." - Rebecca Roland
"Drinking great wine and eating sushi are two time-tested date night activities. At Sushi Note in Sherman Oaks, you'll experience both at the same time. They serve sushi a la carte, but we prefer to go all-in on the Whole Note omakase. At $155, it’s certainly not cheap, but after eating 12 pieces of high-quality sushi, edamame, miso soup, a starter, hand roll, and dessert, the meal more than earns its price point. And make friends with the sommelier, who can course out all the wine you need." - sylvio martins, brant cox, cathy park
