The story
Sushi Note in Sherman Oaks has earned its place among the Michelin Guide's Recommended restaurants, a distinction that reflects its dedication to precision and quality. This is a Japanese omakase experience built around a counter dining format, where the focus is squarely on the craft of sushi and the bond between chef and guest.
The restaurant offers both indoor counter seating and a patio, giving diners a choice of atmosphere. Valet parking is available across the street, adding a touch of convenience to the evening. Reservations are encouraged for the nightly seatings from 5:30 to 10 PM.
While the menu changes with the seasons and market, the guiding philosophy is consistent: pristine ingredients handled with skill. An interesting wine list—unusual for a sushi bar—sets Sushi Note apart, offering thoughtful pairings that complement the delicate flavors of the nigiri.
This is a place for those who appreciate the nuance of Japanese cuisine, the intimacy of counter dining, and the quiet confidence of a team that lets the ingredients speak. The Michelin nod is simply an acknowledgment of what regulars already know: this is a serious sushi restaurant in the heart of Sherman Oaks.
