"Chef Kiminobu Saito’s steady approach to nigiri rides the line between classic Edo-style and the now decadent omakase familiar to Angelenos that fills spaces from Tarzana to the Golden Triangle of Beverly Hills. At Sushi Note in Beverly Hills, Saito’s longtime apprentice Earl Aguilar serves at a subterranean counter, but here in Sherman Oaks, Saito holds court with two other sushi chefs preparing one of the Valley’s best sushi menus. Like the fluid saxophone playing on Sushi Note’s sound system, Saito weaves around the seasonal fish offerings of the night with technical prowess. The latter half of a recent omakase featured a stellar shiro ebi, baby Japanese shrimp topped with salty pops of caviar." - Eater Staff
