Let's start off with the staff. Everyone was a delight! From the hostess to the sommeliers Jon and Sean (apologies if i spelled it incorrectly) to our chef Chris. They made our anniversary an even better celebration with their attention to detail and amazing knowledge of the wines and fish being served. Thank you to everyone who made our night an even more magical night!The restaurant itself creates an intimate experience, almost as though you've gone over to a friend's house for dinner. We definitely enjoyed the Chef's counter and so glad we went with that option. We were in our own world really. I admired how they incorporated family photos of the executive chef's life, it gave it a whole other level of hominess. On to the food, which was my absolute favorite part of the night. I was skeptical about not being able to choose what I'd be eating but I truly fell in love with every dish. Throughout the 20 course meal, we continued to say "this was my favorite" but the next course soon became the new favorite. My partner is very delicate when it comes to that fishy taste, but everything was so fresh he could not stop talking about the fish. A must try, in my book and we will definitely be back. Thank you Sushi Note!

Came here for my birthday dinner, which was a 20 course Omakase experience. I received a little birthday card. Everything tasted fresh and of high quality. The standouts for me were chutoro, torotaku, and akami. Most of the courses included a bit of wasabi inside, which is good if it has the right amount. I feel like a few of them had too much wasabi though.The service was wonderful, but I can't give 5 stars for a couple of reasons. This is not the best omakase experience that I've had. In addition, I feel like we were tricked about the valet parking cost. We were told that it was free, but we ended up being charged $15 for valet as part of our bill.It is a very small and intimate restaurant with a few tables and counter seating. Reservations are required in advance.

For sushi aficionados, welcome home. This tiny gem is in a parking lot and seats max 15 people in the whole place. Service was fantastic, with an attentive sommelier pouring a wine pairing with each plate. Each bite was melt in your mouth delicious. A proper omakase experience. Highly recommend. Diners beware, the 90210 price tag is a hefty one.

Easily one of the best omakase experiences in the valley and, imho, top 5 in LA as whole. The bar is tiny and only seats 6, the service is fantastic, the chef is a true master of his craft and the fish is the highest quality.

My friend took me here for a celebration and the place was cute. It's a little hidden gem located in the valet parking lot. The ambiance was nice with cute decor and nice playlist of music. The place is small and seats about 14 people only. The food was just ok. Nothing really grabbed my taste bud. The cod was the best thing I had. The service was good but I did not like how you could not see the list of the 20 food items of your experience or the chefs explain where the food came from. The servers explained each item instead. This experience was cool but Scratch by Sushi is better. A lot of the food did not have much flavor and some items were very chewy.

This sushi bar is located in the valet parking area of where the Cartier is currently housed. Its a small place that probably holds around 16 customers per seating. Its quaint, nicely decorated and I like the ambiance a lot.Sevice was impeccable, everyone is truly amazing from the front of the house to the Sommelier and the sushi chef that served the food. The sushi was amazing and literally so good, I am not a chu-toro nor a o-toro fan but I was a fan of theirs. Soooo good, everything was really fresh and truly an experience to eat each and everyone of the sushi presented to us. We sat at the bar and that was really fun as we had awesome conversation with the chefs and was able to get more information on the sushi we were eating. If you do go, I recommend the bar.Also, to reply about the over wasabi that people have said, I honestly did not have that issue whatsoever but I can say that they use fresh wasabi and not the powder type that gets turned into wasabi paste, maybe that fresh taste comes off as being too strong. Nevertheless, i will say that on our dining experience we didn't have that issue at all. I truly appreciated the amount given and the salt added on the dish that needed it.Why only a 4*? I think for the money we pay, it was definitely not enough food to keep you full. I normally never leave a place hungry specially after paying 500 dollars but in this instance I left the place a bit hungry not a lot but a bit :) ... also the fact that the appetizers where counted as 1 course each was disappointing coz I would count that as 1 even though there were 3 dishes in the plate.With this said, If you have an extra 500, it's an experience to try.

Definitely a splurge restaurant, great spot if you're celebrating something. We came here for a birthday. Small and intimate restaurant. Service was great, everyone was really professional and friendly. Sushi is delicious, really great quality. 20 piece menu ($190/person). Which is surprisingly lower than some omakase places that have an outrageous sticker tag, but still a lot of money for me haha. We had a piece of tuna here that was probably the best we've ever had. They also have a wine pairing option alongside dinner, at about $150/person. We had a really great time here... just be prepared to spend.

Located at the parking level of the Rodeo Dr plaza. Once you pull in the restaurant is located next to the valet. Did not opt for wine pairing. Had a Pilsner and Sara Sara unfiltered sake. If you like jasmine than the Pilsner worth a try with a nice hint of jasmine finish. Sale is not as cloudy as your typical unfiltered. I like mines a bit more cloudy and found this one kind of caught in between. I would opt for the dry instead with a cleaner finish. Bar seating is limited and only 4 seats. If you can probably try to get a bar seat. Meal is pace nicely and chef goes into detail explaining each piece. 3/4 pieces was aged fish which offer more melt in you mouth and tenderness. Couple of highlights definitely was a marinated brandy mackerel it's got little bitter. Some might hate it, but I found it interesting and never had it before. Quite a different take. Baby shrimp was a mother great piece with zero sauce. Enjoy the ingredients nothing else. Uni is always great. If I had to say I find it sort of a cross between sushi zo and enya with little more modern take. Finish in-house gelato made with rice vinegar they use for their rice. It's worth trying if you're a sushi lover especially if you don't want to drive all the way to Sherman Oaks for their original location.

I thought a lot about this review before posting it. TLDR: great service, but food is not worth the price. Positives: The service here was impeccable - very nice, friendly, and the level of service you would expect from a restaurant like this. Additionally, the food presentation was done very well, and the last 3 savory items were the few items I loved: uni, wagyu, and torotaku.Where this place fell short for me was the food - nearly everything on the menu was lacking flavor, the opposite of what you should get for this price ($190/person before tax and tip). I've been to numerous omakase sushi restaurants at lesser, equal, and higher price ranges and this was by far my least favorable experience - this was the only omakase sushi experience I've walked away from feeling disappointed. Starting with the amuse-bouche course to the last course, flavor lacked and the fish was less tender/soft/melting than I've experienced with sushi at this price range. Overall, the fish lacked flavor - both the fish itself and the sauce/toppings that were added. Particularly the hotate, which is typically my favorite - it was a bit tough and the hotate itself didn't have flavor and the toppings hardly added any taste.I wanted to love this restaurant, especially since I came here for a special occasion, but unfortunately I would not recommend this place to friends, family, or the Yelp community. Additionally, it is odd to me that this place touts being on Rodeo Drive, but it's underground inside a parking garage. It is a very nice parking garage, but not necessarily where I want to eat an expensive meal in Beverly Hills. Lastly, when I was seated, there were 2 open seats at the bar so I asked if it was available and if I could sit there; 2 other couples also subsequently asked, but we were all separately declined. However, those 2 seats remained empty the entire time which was even more odd since the pricing for the dining room and bar are the same, and it's a 14 seat restaurant where we can all see the empty seats. Lastly, you have to pay the tip when you make the reservation, before you experience anything which is something I haven't seen before.

Perfect for two! Fell in love with every piece that was brought out. So much flavor and so much tender love and care. Must experience once.
