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.

We checked this place out for lunch recently and had a great time. We made a reservation for outside seating on OpenTable, so we didn't have to wait long to be seated. We sat outside on the covered patio to enjoy the weather. We were able to take advantage of some happy hour pricing which we were not expecting for a Saturday. We tried the fried rice, chicken gyoza, and sushi lunch. We also ordered the Malibu Sunset and yellowtail rolls as well. Everything came out quick and had great flavor. My daughter loved the fried rice and my wife was impressed with how much yellowtail was in each piece of that roll. Our server was friendly and attentive. We even saw a celebrity come in to eat at the bar! Highly recommend.

Miso cod bowl w/veggies (Happy Hour)
Korbi K.

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.

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.

Dassai 39 sake
Erin O.

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.

Salmon cut roll and Pinot noir ftw!
Victoria M.

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!

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!

Malibu Sunset Roll
Jane M.

Gorgeous top class sushi in beautiful environment. Great service. Recommend the Malibus Sunset Roll.

Scallop Roll
Amber K.

Cute ambiance and really good sushi! They have lots of options with sashimi, classic rolls, signature rolls and appetizers! Great service as well!

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.

Megan A.

Happy hour menu is awesome, great choice especially the bowl with cooked salmon, rice and salad Very fresh. Samantha was terrific!

hawaiian roll
Kayla Z.

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.

Edamame Spicy
Jackie B.

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.

Everyone gets the Black Miso Cod for a reason. It needs no explanation; it's always worth ordering…read more I would pass on the Crispy Brussels Sprouts; they're coated in a surprisingly sour sauce, which then reduces their crispy factor. I loved the Malibu Breeze! I don't remember what lychee orange mocktail we ordered, but I also do not recommend, mostly tangy orange juice. The Yellowtail with jalapeño is a strong pick for your first time; the tender fish pairs amazingly with the yuzu sauce. The spicy garlic butter lobster was also delicious, with interesting vegetable choices on the side but everything was still amazing. If you want something more filling at Nobu, they don't do many heavy carb options sooo I recommend the Black Miso Cod (satisfying cut of fish) and Rock Shrimp tempura (nice generous bowl of almost popcorn shrimp). I would pass on the nigiri, 20 per 2 pieces. The salmon nigiri was also underwhelming, taste wise. Our waiter was VERY KIND and fun! Gave us all the popular, recommended, and even PERSONAL favorites from the menu. Such a beautiful restaurant, but refrain from taking photos by the ocean so as not to disturb other customers. The bathrooms was a whole experience it's self. I believe a larger party will have more comfortable seating compared to a small table against the wall for two people.

It sits literally on top of the beach, with a front-row seat to a beautiful view. We went for dinner at 6pm and got to watch the sunset over the water. The location alone is what eeks this Nobu location to 5 starts verses my reviews of other locations. Service was very good. We were seated immediately at our reservation time, and the waitstaff was attentive throughout, accommodating the baby with a high chair and patiently picking up everything he dropped during the meal. The drinks were phenomenal. I love the Nobu old fashioned -- alcohol-forward and aromatic. My wife loved both of her drinks as well. The food was great, though sushi fanatics will point out there are better options in LA and OC. We started with the shishito peppers and jalapeño yellowtail, followed by an assortment of nigiri -- toro, salmon, amberjack, yellowtail, snow crab, and scallop -- and finished with the hazelnut cookie for dessert. Nobu is nothing if not consistent -- whatever location I go to, the quality always holds up. Prices are high, as one would expect given the name and the location. Expect about $125-200pp depending on what you order and how much alcohol is involved. All in, a wonderful spot for a special celebration with an unbeatable view. Ambiance: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Drinks: 5/5 Food: 4/5 Value: 3.5/5 Consistency: 5/5

Service on the other hand was severely lacking. Our waiter, while pleasant, lacked attention to details. Service was very slow the entire night and the restaurant was about 60% full. I had to ask twice for my ice-tea and asked 3x for a box to take our left-over dessert home. By the 3rd time, my partner got up and just took the dessert, plate and all to the bar counter to get some service. It was pretty sad. And, there is more. We ordred the following dishes: 1. Watermelon argula salad with grilled shrimp: I had asked for no feta cheese on my watermelon shrimp salad and of course, it came out with feta cheese sprinkled on top after waiting for a good 25 minutes. They did remake it but it came back with absolutely no flavor. The dish was simply argula tossed together with cubed watermelon, and grilled shrimp with no dressing. I guess it was super lean! The shrimp had a nice texture but flavorless. I didn't want to send it back again because that would drag out the whole meal even longer. Rating: 0/5 2. Corn Chowder with Crab Cake - Delicious! Rating 4.5/5 3. Steak with Mashed Potatoes and Brussel Sprouts: The steak was cooked perfectly. The brussel sprouts could have used a bit more cooking and seasoning. Rating: 4/5 4. Creme-Burlee with Chocolate Mousse - Rating : 5/5 This was a winner and that's why we wanted to take the left-overs home. Overall, stunning view, mixed food experience, and poor service. The entire service was pain-stakingly slow, and lacked genuine personal touch and follow-through. And the salad for the birthday girl was a huge miss. Most people, like me, drive a good distance after work, to go to a special destination to celebrate a special occasion, hoping for a delicous and well-cooked meal, good service and overall a relaxing evening. It didn't work out that way for me last night. I didn't feel taken care of, and my main dish wasn't good. It was a disappointing night.

This is now the THIRD time this has happened to us.

This time, we finally confronted the staff and even showed them our name on the list to prove how long we had been waiting. Instead of acknowledging what happened or giving us a reasonable explanation, they denied it and simply told us, "We'll seat you in 15 minutes." Keep in mind, we had already been waiting for an HOUR. Once could be a mistake. Twice could be poor organization. But when the same thing happens three separate times, it's hard to ignore. No sushi is worth being treated like your time doesn't matter. We gave this place multiple chances, but after this experience, we will never return. There are plenty of sushi restaurants where customers are treated fairly and respectfully.
