If you ever find yourself craving some of Malibu's finest sushi, Bui Sushi is one of those places you simply have to experience. I've been coming here since they first opened, and it's remained a favorite for a reason...it never misses. There are a few things I consider completely non-negotiable, and the surf and turf roll is one of them. It's just that good! And if you love yellowtail sashimi, theirs is consistently fresh, delicate, and beautifully done. I always add extra jalapeño's, but do you. We went as a group of five and shared a bit of everything (the only way to do it, in my opinion), and there were so many standouts. The pumpkin tempura was unexpectedly addictive, and the scallops we had prepared two different ways, were absolute perfection... the kind that just melt the second they hit your palate. What really makes this place special, though, is the full experience. The service is warm and polished without ever feeling overdone, the cocktails are crafted just right, and the outdoor seating has that relaxed Malibu charm. It's the kind of place you keep coming back to, and quietly recommend to people who appreciate when things are done right. read more

Located right in the plaza with CVS and Ralph's so it's very convenient off the PCH. It was surprisingly busy when I stopped by around 4:30pm today - the patio was nearly full and there were a few people waiting for takeout orders (myself included). Their Happy Hour deals are served until 5pm and are a great value. You can get a sushi combo or a sashimi combo or a 3 hand roll combo for $18. There are also some deals on bowls, beer, and wine. The deals ARE eligible for takeout which is nice. I opted for the sushi combination, which came with 5 pieces of nigiri (albacore, yellowtail, shrimp, tuna, salmon) and a choice of either a California roll or spicy tuna. I got the spicy tuna. It was a great amount of food and the sushi was wonderful. The size of the nigiri was generous without being cumbersome to eat. The ratio of rice to fish was on the lower end as well. I was a little bummed they didn't include ginger in the box but they did give soy sauce and chopsticks. -1* because it took much longer than quoted for my order and because the packaging was cracked and so when I tried to use the top as a "bowl" for soy sauce it leaked and got all over my countertop. Nonetheless, I would definitely go back and would order the same thing. Highly recommend it for sushi in Malibu at prices almost unreal. read more

Bui's Happy Hour is officially my new midday indulgence. From 12PM-5PM, you can enjoy seriously decadent deals that feel anything but ordinary. I'm currently obsessed with the Miso Cod Bowl (with veggies) -- perfectly balanced, flavorful, and satisfying without feeling heavy. Pescavegan-friendly. Pair it with their $6 hot sake during Happy Hour, and it's a combination that truly elevates the afternoon. I prefer sitting at the bar -- it's relaxed, seamless, and just feels easy. The hospitality is warm and welcoming, with that distinctly Malibu charm that keeps you coming back. A little unexpected luxury, conveniently next to my newest favorite Pilates place. Highly recommend to lovers and friends. read more

My wife and I came here after walking 5 miles up and down the beach in Malibu. We got here around 5p and were able to get a seat quickly as it got busier as dinner time for many approached. We ordered a rainbow roll, a Sunset roll and a Paradise roll, all of which were delicious. June P. Was our server and she was excellent, coming buy a couple times to make sure all was good and then brought us trays and a bag so we could take our leftovers home. We recommend this restaurant 100% if you enjoy really good sushi at a decent price in Malibu. read more

Bui is always a nice place to go sit at the bar and have a quick bite to eat with friends. The staff is always friendly, and the food is consistently good. I do love my salmon, and order that every time. I also like their Malibu sunset roll. They do have a happy hour during the week as well. Make sure you go and check them out! read more

Bui Sushi - Salmon cut roll and Pinot noir ftw! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Malibu, California

Bui Sushi in Malibu is one of those spots that makes you wonder why you ever settle for average sushi anywhere else. I kicked things off with the perfect bowl of miso soup. Simple, but so good. Then came the salmon skin salad, which had just the right crunch and flavor to balance it out. The sushi is next level fresh. I went for the High Tide Roll and the Malibu Sunset Roll. Both of which were bright, balanced, and ridiculously good. Grab a bottle of the Dassai 39 sake to share. It's so smooth, and pairs perfectly with everything. The service was great. Friendly and attentive without hovering. Between the rolls, the sake, and the laid-back Malibu vibe, Bui feels like the kind of place you'll keep finding excuses to come back to. read more

Came in during their happy hour after a nice long beach session and got the sashimi combination with the spicy tuna roll. The sashimi tasted fresh, and the spicy tuna roll was good as well. We also got the spicy garlic chili edamame which was a great starter. The sauce was super flavorful and irresistible. The service was very good and quick, and their recommendations were on point. We wanted to sit outside and were hoping to have a view of the beach too but the outside seating was in the front of the restaurant with not much of a view but the parking lot so that was a bummer. Overall, Bui Sushi nailed the sushi game and would come back for the sashimi combination and edamame! read more

I forgot how amazing this place is. It's been too long! Sat on the covered patio and for a cold ish night, it was lovely and warm with only a couple of heaters on. Beautiful relaxed atmosphere with lovely lighting inside and out. Our waitress was amazing. I would come back just for her. The food is literally one of the best sushi I have ever had. It's perfection on a plate. And the presentation supports my comment. read more

Came in tonight on a Sunday, you could tell they were understaffed server wise. They had a lot of sushi chefs and food runners on it looked like. Our server had a lot of tables and we definitely felt it! He came by our table a couple times when we ordered but never really checked on our food or our experience and they did bring us a hand roll with soy paper and it took them a very very long time to fix it. They did fix it thankfully but by that point I was kinda over it. The food is always great at bui tho! The prices have gone up- so has everywhere else but for that price I do expect better service. The rock shrimp is my favorite! It is always perfectly crisp and sauced- I did notice the portion size got smaller and price went up! The garlic noodles were great as well! Love the salmon sashimi and the yellowtail with jalepenos comes in such a great yuzu sauce. It was very busy for a Sunday which is great for them! However like I said service was not it tonight. read more

Bui Sushi - Sashimi salad and Hand rolls split with my dad - Sushi Bars Near Me - Malibu, California

You can't go wrong with anything that you order. Service and ambiance is 10/10. Freshness of the seafood selection is great !! I like how they preserve the original taste of fish rather than using way too much sauce. Everything tastes very fresh Calamari: 10/10 Best calamari on PCH!!! I have tried many calamari in Malibu, but this one is outstanding. The breading is not too much, or too hard, just right. Taste like freshly fried. Clearly paid attention to detail Pepper Tuna Roll: 10/10 Refreshing!!! Would order again, well balanced flavors High Tide: If you like seafood for its organic taste you would like this. 9/10 Malibu Sunset roll: 8/10 Also very refreshing, main focus is the flavor of the fish. Not drowning in sauces. read more

First time and the service was great. The waiter was very attentive and helpful. The ambiance was good for the time of the day we came to have a late lunch. The food was good. I ordered my meat medium well done but I would've liked for it to be a bit more than well done! (My personal taste) Overall good food and ambiance. $114 for two. read more

Excellent. Sushi rolls aren't the largest but are very delicious. Unique takes on different rolls and their appetizers are delicious

Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 I'm a die hard sushi lover and this is the second time I came back while visiting Malibu. The rolls are very hit or miss. Hit: Full Moon & Malibu Sunset. These rolls are delicious and I'm not even a rolls girl. Both of these rolls have the perfect amount of texture and flavor. Full Moon mixes warm, crunchy, soft, creamy in one. Malibu Sunset mixes creamy, sour, sweet, crunchy. Though I will say the lettuce in the Malibu Sunset was sort of weird, but it did add an nice touch of freshness. Me and my bf devoured these. Miss: Spicy Albacore & Rainbow Crunch. The Spicy Albacore's sauce was way too salty and there was way too much. We were picking off the rice because it was literally soaked in sauce which then made the entire roll fall apart. The Rainbow Crunch was just boring, very flat and no excitement to the texture or flavor. A perfect sushi roll should have a combination of texture and flavor that makes sense to pair with the fish. Let me say one thing about the Chicken Teriyaki entree - do not order this. It is so bland, it literally tastes like jail food. We got this the first time and made sure to just stick with sushi the second time. The service was excellent both times, all the waiters and hosts are very nice and attentive. They will bring you what you ask for right away. Came to fill water routinely and checked in on us. The ambiance is nice, both times there weren't many customers so it was very peaceful and quiet. Indoor and outdoor seating. I love Malibu for it's quietness and peacefulness and this restaurant is the perfect place to get food in the midst of it. Overall, try the sushi here but just know the rolls and very hit or miss. And do not order the Chicken Teriyaki unless everything else on the menu is unavailable. read more

I was stunned and amazed! Not the overpriced Malibu sushi that I expected.Prices are very reasonable for the quality.\ I had the Garlic Noodles and I could still taste them in the morning. I mean that in a good way. The sushi was fresh and delicious. They have a sushi combo plate that is perfect for one person and exactly what I would chose a la carte. we had the Mango sticky rice for dessert, I would call it very good but a challenge to eat because of how it was cut in a fan and difficult to get apart into nice sized bites. mango is also way out of season so partially my fault for ordering it. This place is very classy and for some reason not too loud for the amount of people that were there. The service was beyond excellent. my husband went back alone about 4 days after we ate there together. he is a sushi man, so that says a lot, right there. read more

Bui sushi is located in a plaza which has plenty of parking. Let me start off with the service. Amazing! They pay attention to detail, and they always check up on you and make sure that your water is always full which is very nice. The food is selection is amazing. I'm very picky about my sushi but they have quality fish and it's served very fresh. I will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu but I would highly recommend the sushi rolls and the opsedies orel! read more

Easily one of the best sushi experiences I've had. Fantastic quality fish, good service, and has an aesthetically pleasing ambiance.

Service was friendly, but the sushi was okay. If you get the lunch special, the portions are small. The table also had a sticky residue, which was a turn off. read more

Everything is great about this place except for one thing. They are very stingy with the amount of fish in their hand rolls I suggest Bui puts in a happy amount of fish in their happy hour hand rolls. More like a finger roll here not worth $18 for 3 read more

The food was better than i remembered in the past. It was my cousin's birthday and the wait staff knew it. They did nothing at the end of the meal...no ice cream or other desserts to acknowledge him. Prices were higher than in the Valley but duh...it's Malibu! read more

I really wanted to give this restaurant 5 stars. The last time my husband and I dined here, we had a wonderful waiter, who was very personable and efficient and the food was great. Today our server was Bridgette and she caused the lower rating. We had a reservation and were seated promptly. Although my husband's filet and my black cod lettuce cups were delicious, the service left more to be desired. Although it was 5:30 p.m. and not very crowded, we felt as though Bridgette rushed us out, leaving our bill and uttered a *barely* audible thank you. As I said, the food is quite good, but Bridgette spoiled what was supposed to be our anniversary dinner. If service isn't a big deal to you, give this restaurant a try. read more

Meh. Rolls were ok. Lychee martini was awful. There's better sushi places around so we likely won't be back. Server was nice tho! read more

I got the Shrimp Tempura plate with some rice and vegetables. I love Calamari, and Shrimp Tempura is pretty much the same as it. Our first time here at Bui Sushi.
