"A truly special sushi experience that won’t break the bank, Sushi Note comes from seasoned chef Kiminobu Saito, who trained at Nobu for years before opening a celebrated omakase counter called 4 on 6 in Encino. About six years ago, Saito linked with operator David Gibbs to open Sushi Note in Sherman Oaks serving a refined omakase inspired by jazz music. Expect a top-notch progression of fresh fish from Japanese and local waters draped over well-seasoned rice. The best seat in the house is right in front of Saito, who tends to command the central station at the three-chef bar. Make sure to pair the meals with the stellar wine list, which rivals Michelin-starred tasting menu spots. Saito and Gibbs expanded to a second omakase counter in Beverly Hills, for those who aren’t able to go over the Hollywood Hills." - Rebecca Roland, Mona Holmes, Matthew Kang
