"Beverly Hills has plenty of high-end sushi spots, but Sushi Note Omakase is making the best nigiri in the neighborhood. (Think classic cuts like dry-aged amberjack and scallop with sea salt.) This place is located inside an old hair salon in the Rodeo Collection’s parking garage, and it's not totally unlike one of those secret sushi bars in Tokyo that people make Youtube vlogs about. There are only four counter seats and a handful of quiet tables where you’ll eat a 20-course parade of simple, elegant sushi. A meal here will cost you $190 (excluding the optional $100 wine pairing). The price point feels earned from the second you drive down the parking ramp." - sylvio martins, arden shore, brant cox, jess basser sanders
"The Valley’s popular Sushi Note found a lovely underground alcove at the valet parking area of a large Beverly Hills retail building. Sporting a near-hidden entrance, this place seats fewer than 20 diners, with just six or so at the bar, but serves some of the highest-end nigiri in the city. The bonus part of the experience lies in the wine pairings, meant to add a completely different element to most other omakase dinners that tend to feature sake. Just follow the sommelier and let the glasses flow with the high-end sushi." - Matthew Kang
"Track down this tiny sushi bar in a Beverly Hills parking garage and you'll find a bubbling fountain, fluorescent lights painted like clouds, and a beige wooden door. Inside is a sleek omakase-only counter that feels a world away from the medical offices one floor above. Just like its sister spot in the Valley, SNO is about the wine as much as it is about the fish. The $110 wine pairing enhances the experience: you'll drink old-world nebbiolo with fatty tuna and pinot blanc with caviar-topped squid. All told, you’re in for 20+ pieces of elegant nigiri for $220 per person." - garrett snyder, brant cox, cathy park, sylvio martins
"Described as a Beverly Hills omakase destination, reflecting LA’s blend of traditional omakase and luxury dining standards." - Eater Staff
"Sushi Note in Sherman Oaks expanded to this underground location at the front of a valet stand, joining the ranks of unlikely but still terrific sushi destinations in Los Angeles. Helmed by Earl Aguilar, who trained under Note’s Kiminobu Saito, this $190 omakase meal is offered at a small bar or a few small tables. This omakase experience goes best with wine pairings with expert pours amplifying each piece’s flavor profile. Saito himself tends to hold court at the bar at the original Sushi Note in the Valley." - Matthew Kang
