We visited this restaurant on Mother's Day and had a reservation for 8 PM. Unfortunately, despite booking in advance, we were told upon arrival that we still needed to wait another 15-20 minutes. After waiting, we were offered a table tucked away in the corner of the patio, facing another table instead of the ocean view the restaurant is known for. Since the atmosphere and open patio were one of the main reasons we chose this place, we declined and waited another 5-10 minutes before finally being seated at a better table in the middle of the patio. On top of the already high menu prices, valet parking was $20, and a 20% tip was heavily pushed as well, which made the overall experience feel even more overpriced. The atmosphere itself was probably the strongest part of the experience. The open-air setup was pleasant, the tables were spaced apart nicely, and the music was great. There was a DJ playing throughout the evening, which created a relaxing vibe without being overwhelming. Unfortunately, the food and service did not match the prices or expectations. The menu was confusing and required a lot of explanation from the server. We ordered edamame, seaweed salad, and four different sushi tacos. Each taco was around $18, yet they were extremely small -- you could easily eat two and still feel hungry. Considering the pricing, the portions felt unreasonable. The wait for the food was also surprisingly long, especially for such small dishes. To make things more confusing, the edamame -- which is normally served as a quick appetizer -- arrived at the very end of the meal instead of first. There were also small details that reflected poor organization. No ginger or wasabi were provided, and the soy sauce container on the table was completely empty when we sat down. When I mentioned it to the server, she acted as though she had already refilled it, even though it had clearly been empty from the beginning. At the end of the night, they also did not provide a paper receipt. Instead, they quickly scrolled through the bill on a tablet, making it difficult to properly review the charges before paying. Overall, the restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere and potential, but the long waits, tiny portions, lack of attention to detail, and extremely high prices made the experience disappointing. read more

Beautiful restaurant with a great ambiance, stylish interior, and amazing views. The music created a very enjoyable atmosphere, and the staff was friendly throughout the evening. Service, however, was a bit slow. It took quite a while for the food to arrive, and even our three appetizers were brought out in three separate trips, which made the dining experience feel somewhat disorganized. The biggest disappointment was the portion sizes. At first glance, the menu prices seemed reasonable, but once the food arrived, the value felt very questionable. We ordered four different sushi tacos, and when the plates came out, we honestly thought they had only brought one or two dishes instead of all four. The total for those tacos alone was around $70, yet the portions were extremely small. The food quality itself was decent, but nothing particularly memorable or unique. Edamame was bland and mushy. Overall, this is a nice place for the atmosphere and views, but if you're coming hungry, be prepared to order quite a bit -- and spend accordingly. read more

Sake House Malibu - Sushi taco - Japanese Near Me - Malibu, California

Service was exceptional, server Julie went above and beyond with my dishes. Her selection was great! The ambiance was absolutely beautiful and they had a dj for the evening. The reason I gave it a 4 star was one slight thing in the food. The ribs were very chewy and not tender enough. But overall it is a great place to attend. read more

Valet parking $20 Mandatory 20% service charge Ambiance and view is very nice. We came here at 2pm on a Saturday. The quality of the fish is fresh however we ordered the miso cod lettuce cups and it took 30 minutes for it to come out. They also had to remake our smoked salmon hand roll because they didn't put the truffle on it. The server didn't really come around to check up on us even though it wasn't busy. We told one of the staff that we wanted to order two snow crab handrolls and after waiting another 30 minutes, we were told that the order was never relayed to our server so it was never put in. The owner was very kind and apologetic and they took the snow crab handrolls off our tab, which we appreciated. overall, the experience was a bit disappointing given the delays and lack of service, but the atmosphere and the owner's response helped redeem it slightly. be prepared to wait and pay a pretty penny. read more

As much as I adore this spot, it feels more like a Malibu essential for the ambiance than for the nomz. Pescavegan friendly, and able to accommodate dairy allergies. The food was good -- just not particularly filling. I'm all for model-sized munchies, but on a late Friday night (after a full day of moving), I was hoping for a few heartier options to truly get my grub on. I can't fully vouch for the service since I was admittedly distracted by the decadent decor -- and perhaps slightly lost in my Italian lover's eyes. That said, the space itself is painfully gorgeous. Also: be prepared to valet. I believe it's $20ish just to park, which strikes me as high (but I'm much cheaper than my customer service-savvy companions, who don't bat an eye in the face of expense). Sake House Malibu is undeniably a vibe, and absolutely worth a return for the atmosphere alone. RSVP energy required. read more

Went here for a friend's birthday specifically for the vibes and sunset views and they delivered. There was also a DJ playing an eclectic mix of music. The owner, hosts, and servers were friendly and kind. However, timing of drinks and coursing of food and dessert could be improved. Tuna tartare-tuna and the chips were both bland Shrimp shumai-yummy but small Crispy Rice Truffle Soy Salmon-this was good (each order only comes with 2) Miso Cod Lettuce Wraps-flavors and portions were good Handrolls-tried scallops, yellowtail, and spicy albacore (this one was the best) Kanpachi Truffle Sashimi Special-generous amounts of truffle Pistachio cake-lovely presentation but the inside was slightly frozen (I think they defrosted it?) Go for the views, not for the food. read more

My boyfriend and I had anniversary dinner here after seeing videos about this place. Great ambiance and nice server! However the food is just okay, it took about 25 minutes for crispy rice to course out and additional 15-20 minutes per dish. Happy sumo cocktails were just meh. Star of the show was the crispy rice with truffle soy salmon. Everything was just okay and a bit overpriced. I wouldn't recommend anyone if you want to spend almost $300 for two people, parking is $20 as well. This place is definitely for anyone who prefers slow table turns and ambiance but don't expect your dishes to come out fast because it'll bored you quick waiting. read more

I had made a reservation to come here. Since it's on social media everyone is raving..,Let me say it's a disappointment for me and my daughter. First of all I don't like to leave a bad review but I had to. I walked up to the reception and I was alittle early and told her I had reservation and she said to wait on the right side to be called, that lady at the desk didnt smile or greet kindness at all and I felt like for this place environment, thought would be a better services. We got sat in and the waiter took our order, never once the waiter came by and ask if we need refill water, and never ask how was everything, or if we need anything else. Food was good what we ordered but I think the chicken karaage didnt taste as good..so crunchy and chicken was really dry...we also ordered miso soup it came out little to warm. What I think is this place needs more experience waiter, cause the 1 I had really don't deserve any stars...if you want a 20% standard tips then you should at least meets the standard of customer services.. The waiter I had didnt meet minimum standards customer services. Let me say this rather u valet or not if you want to park your car in structure it would be a $20.00 charge all day if you pay cash and with credit card theres an xtra fee. The ambience I can say very decorated and beautiful ocean view. Overall I wouldn't come back it's too pricey for the food portion and the taste of it. Was happy to get this experience since I didn't know with fb, instagram and tik tok was hyping about... So the 2 was the scenery the customer services was 0 Waiter 0 Food 3 By the way FYI it's on 3rd floor sake house Malibu but it's also known as Rafi Lounge, I was confused wasn't sure if I got off the right floor or not. Very disappointed. read more

Difficult to write 2-3 star reviews because this restaurant/location could be so amazing if they work on a few things. The view and ambience is 4 stars in my book. The view across the street from Nobu is nice up on the hill. The view at sunset is great if you're focused on that element. The parking was good with valet, seemed appropriate with stairs or the elevator to start. 20 for the valet. The overall feeling is sufficient given the location of the place. But overall, just too much competition in a variety of ways to choose over it. This place has some issues from my experience. Ok, Let's now review the why here and why I rate this place as being meh, not going back kind of place. The service to start was terrible. We walked in sat in the section waiting to be seated and we ordered drinks that never came. We eventually reordered when we sat down at our table later on. The service at the table was also extremely slow and they were not even really busy there. The food is what stands out the most to me. We ordered several different things that quite frankly I would've probably returned back if given the chance. the short ribs were like beef jerky. They were so chewy. I think I could've cooked better short ribs at home in a microwave. The portion of the ribs were small and thin. .The forbidden rice with spicy tuna was bad too. The rice was under cooked and really gummy. Also were portioned in a small tiny way. Value is a huge thing for me and this wasn't nobu across the street quality wise. The lettuce wraps were actually somewhat decent. Good flavor, but the overall portions were so extremely small and you're paying 20 to 30 depending on the plate just doesn't feel like the quality and value are there for the price and area. The sake black bowls at the table were dirty. The one I had in front of me had a crusty spot in it. The menu booklet was a print out and not the same visually at each section of our table. I mean half fast done I'm sorry to say. Once again the lack of value and quality is everything here with so much competition out in Malibu. The view and setting is great, but besides drinks late nite here, I don't see it at least right now. The presentation on the dishes seems alright, but the quality and depth of the value needs improvement. Suggestions: put some more time and money into menu and service. Offer more suggestions, improve on the portion size and quality. read more

I absolutely loved everything about this restaurant! The Japanese inspired architecture and decor are exquisite and truly create an immersive feel! The restaurant sits on a hillside overlooking the Pacific Ocean, which of course provides amazing views! When you arrive, the entrance is a little bit obscure. At least for us we were dropped off in a parking garage and then went into the lobby of a building. Had to take the elevator up to the third floor, which then allowed you to enter the restaurant. However, once you get up there, it is spectacular... from the moment you step off the elevator you are enveloped in Japanese surroundings. All of the dining is outside under a giant sakura tree.... Which is lit up in a fabulous pink light, making for a very romantic dinner! Our waiter came over almost immediately got a drink and appetizer order and came back shortly later to get our dinner order. All of the food came out quickly, so probably best to order it in stages. We started tonight with the Cucumber Salad, Chicken Gyoza and the Miso Black Cod Lettuce Wraps. Then moved onto Yellowtail Habanero Sashimi, which was presented like a piece of art!! And beyond delicious! My husband also had a few pieces of Tuna and Salmon Sushi. And we finished up with Flourless Chocolate Cake also presented in a truly unique way! ( see photos) Everything that we had was some of the best food I've ever eaten! I highly recommend this restaurant if you're in Malibu. It is such an experience and the food is delicious. The other fun aspect of this restaurant is they have live Geisha girls singing and dancing! It makes for such an amazingly fun special entertaining night something you just have to experience! read more

Very welcoming, a zen atmosphere. The view towards the ocean is beautiful. The service was excellent, from the moment we stepped foot into this beautiful place to the time we left. We received great recommendations on shareable plates and their drinks. The food is high quality, the Sashimi was buttery smooth. The spicy tuna tartar was mouth watering as were the dumplings. Took me back to our trip to Japan. The photos don't do the food justice. I highly recommend this Sushi house and I will be coming back to try other items on the menu. Note the underground parking is before you get to the Greek restaurant. 20 cash or 21 via CC. read more

Ambiance 4 stars. Service 4 stars. Food 2 stars. We spent $1,063, for 5 people and we all left still hungry, the smallest portions known to mankind. We left and were tempted to grab McDonald's after we were so hungry. Also waited an hour for rolls we ordered. You get a view of the ocean but for the price we paid MAJOR LET DOWN! Great photo ops, also party of 5 20% gratuity added and service was just ok. We will not be going back or recommending anyone to try this place. It's a gimmick, a trap with an ocean view and EXTREMELY OVER PRICED SUSHI! read more

Sake House Malibu - Receipt - Japanese Near Me - Malibu, California

Don't come here hungry. Our dinner ended up taking nearly three hours. It took about 10 minutes just to be greeted, and since we were walk ins we were seated at a large shared table, which was fine. But appetizers took almost an hour to arrive. The edamame and crispy rice tuna were good, but the hot items (wings and shumai) came lukewarm/cold, and our edamame had salt despite requesting no salt. Our dumplings were also mistakenly given to the table next to us and had to be remade. After that, it was extremely hard to get our server's attention to place the rest of our order. Sushi didn't start coming out until another hour later, and I had to confirm that our order had even been put in. The table next to us had the same issue and asked to rush their food because they had a flight. We were told there were several chefs working, but the pacing was still very confusing. The sushi itself was fresh and made well. Unfortunately, the shumai were not good and the wings would have been fine if they were hot. I noticed other tables cocktails looked great and came out quickly, but the kitchen seemed disorganized and the staff visibly stressed. We asked for the check and the whole process took 30 minutes to get out of there due to service delays and were given the wrong change and another table's receipt. All the waiting and mistakes really added up to the three hour experience. The space is cute and very photo friendly with a beautiful ocean view, though the concept felt a bit corny. If you come, order everything at once and be prepared to wait. read more

This restaurant doesn't be honest with their menu, I came here at 5pm and they do have the happy hour menu but when they order they charge me full price! This is my sister birthday so I want she's comfortable with everything but with this expensive sushi they didn't offer any small cake and the service was so rude and had attitude with us. I came here to spend money but they made us feel like we asked for the food. I know we are not the customers that they looking for . So they should reject us before we came, they accepted us to come to sit in their restaurant and then they act like that. I was horrible experience, feel like got scam.... Not recommended, you guy should make appointment with NOBU in the opposite read more

Sake House Malibu - Bill - Japanese Near Me - Malibu, California

Service was extremely slow considering the restaurant was empty, imagine if it was packed. We tried their edamame , chicken gyoza , sake glass , and cocktails. Place is pricey , but it is on the Inkind app No complaints on any of those , definitely room for improvement could play some good music to lighten up the vibe. I think what sealed it for me was 100% the view . If you enjoy eating by the beach breeze I 100% recommend this spot. read more

Well, I usually don't write reviews but after my experience I thought it warranted one. Sadly I wish I saw the reviews on Yelp before I decide to eat here. First, I'll start with saying the view and aesthetic ( lobby; never sat in restaurant) was nice. However, everything else was a no go. I had made a reservation a month ago and when I checked in they had our table ready but we waited 15-20 minutes to be seated. Once we got seated in the SEATING AREA ( not the table that was prepared inside the restaurant) the waitress asked if it was okay if we were sitting in the sun.. I'm not sure about others but no one wants direct sun in their face while trying to enjoy their meal. They eventually brought umbrellas that only shaded half of my party. (9) Second, our waitress was quite passive aggressive and neglectful of our table. Our orders were incorrect, cups were dirty and had to ask for a different glass, ( second glass was still dirty..) etc. She also seemed pretty annoyed when she asked if we were splitting the bill so she can take our order a specific way which we did split in 3. The food was OKAY, nothing amazing or worth their prices honestly. However, I will say the albacore crispy onion was good. This is NOT a place to eat a "meal" more of a drinks and "appetizer" type style. Portions are very small and we ended up getting food about an hour after we left the restaurant. The timing of the food/ service was pretty bad altogether we spent a little over 2 hours which at that point we still didn't receive all of our food .. which was the fried rice with avocado( don't waste your money literally nothing special but hard fried rice with mushy rice inside and mashed avocado on top lol. ) Circling back to our waitress; as mentioned earlier she was neglectful in making sure our glasses was filled with water, checking to see if our party was doing ok, clearing plates, making sure we received our food, etc. her attitude gave she could care less because she was guaranteed 20% gratuity on our check. ( yes, expect 20% to be added; could have been because my party was more than 5, which is typical) So was this worth $800+ absolutely not. There are so many other choices to have a nice meal, view, and actually good service you should expect when eating out. Save your time and money. Also valet parking $20 cash. & $21.something with card. read more

Poor service. Shaky parking fee. Reservation they couldn't find, then did. Not worth it. View, only reason to be up there.

Solid 3 stars because of the view. The food is blah and the drinks are so weak and greatly overpriced.

We celebrated my husband's birthday here and had such a great experience. Beautiful ocean view, a wonderful atmosphere, and great fresh sushi. The service was warm and welcoming, and the owner was amazing and made the celebration extra special. Thank you for a memorable night! We will back! read more

The food, the vibe, the service, just the place in general is amazing! When my family and I went for Mother's Day, we walk in and practically enter a new world! We see zen gardens, bonsai trees, statues; it was super cool and cute! We get seated and not too long after do we get asked our drink options and if there is anything we wanna start with. The food was beyond amazing; one thing though is that it took a little of time to get the food but the wait was worth it. All in all the food, vibe, and service was great I most definitely recommend going here to all readers of this! read more

Driving PCH to the location was nice! The location parking it's up a small ramp so you can easily miss it. Once parked up to the 3rd floor and the scenic is nice! Very chill lounge vibe as soon as you're off the elevator. Service was on point! With the reservation. Again the view was amazing. I wasn't as hungry so I ordered a few appetizers. The karage chicken was good just maybe my taste I would've liked the aioli to be a bit more tangy/spicy. The cucumber salad was fresh and delicious but not for 2. Service Mr. Francisco was good despite him running around he explained the menu well and recommended stuff was good as well. For a nice intimate date it was good. The music they had on point if you like the 2000s RnB. 10/10 on tha read more

Sake House Malibu - Sweet Mulan - Japanese Near Me - Malibu, California

From the moment we arrived, the entire experience felt intentional and beautiful. The setting alone is something special. Perched up with ocean views, glowing under the night sky, with that stunning blossom tree creating the most romantic atmosphere. The music was soft and tranquil, adding to the experience without ever being distracting. It all just felt right. And then there was our server, E'myri. From the very beginning, she didn't just say she would be taking care of us. She said she would be taking *good* care of us, and she truly meant it. She was attentive, intuitive, and incredibly helpful in guiding us through the menu. She took the time to understand what we would enjoy and absolutely nailed every recommendation. She also shared a beautiful story about the owners of Sake House opening their space to help house displaced families during the Malibu fires last year. Hearing that made it clear that this place is not just about great food and atmosphere, but about people who truly care about their community. One of the things that stood out most was the owner walking around greeting guests and making everyone feel genuinely welcomed. It created such a warm, personal environment that you do not find everywhere. My drink was nothing short of amazing. It was a lemon and lavender cocktail with a hint of rosemary and a strawberry garnish. The balance was perfect. The sweetness, the froth, everything about it was just chef's kiss. And the food... wow! Every dish was so good that we ended up ordering more of the same after we finished because we did not want it to end. That says everything. Sake House, thank you for creating such a thoughtful, elevated, and welcoming experience. You made our anniversary dinner incredibly special, and it was such a memorable part of our trip. We will be thinking about this night for a long time read more

Sake House Malibu is the most beautiful restaurant in Los Angeles. From the moment you arrive, you're surrounded by elegance, warmth, and one of the most stunning views you'll ever see. The atmosphere feels magical, especially at sunset, when the sky lights up in golden tones and the whole place feels straight out of a movie. The food is extraordinary, every dish crafted to perfection, full of vibrant flavors and stunning presentation. You can truly feel the passion and creativity behind every plate. Huge shout out to Tatym for her flawless recommendations, each one was spot on and made the entire experience unforgettable. And a big thank you to manager Alonso for the 5 star customer service, attentive, kind, and making sure every moment felt special. Between the breathtaking view, the incredible food, and the exceptional team, Sake House Malibu isn't just a restaurant it's an experience. This hidden gem defines what dining in Los Angeles should feel like: magical, elegant, and unforgettable. read more

First time here. The food was very good. Portions are small but can share everything pretty well. What we ordered: - Mocktail (can't remember what it was called but it was the only one on the menu) very good, nice tart refreshing flavor - Chicken soba noodles, it was good, not great but it was good, probably my least favorite of the night. - Spicy tuna crispy rice, this was one of my favorites top 2 for sure, wish they gave more than just 2 though - Salmon crispy rice, also very good but not as good as the spicy tuna in my opinion - Short ribs, sooo good! Cooked perfectly, flavor was amazing, I enjoyed the cucumber salad that it came with as well - Shrimp dumplings, I like the texture but it was sort of fishy -Chicken gyoza, very good, soft with a slight crust texture - Chocolate cake (flourless) it was okay, would have been amazing if it came with a scoop of vanilla ice cream We came around 4:30pm, the views were amazing, great for taking pictures, even saw someone purpose when we were there. The service was very good as well, our server was very sweet, and other staff members also checked up on us to remove old dishes and such. I wasn't a huge fan of the music they were playing it was mostly usher (let it burn), boys to men type of music, but they were likely playing it because it was the day before valentines, not my favorite but the volume as very good, you could still have a nice conversation. They have the sweetest dog there, her name is Mulan and she is extremely docile. Parking is directly under the restaurant, you have to valet which cost $20. Great place for a date or hangout with friends read more

Dined here last night...Great looking place if you're creating a TikTok reel/IG story or post... you are definitely paying for ambience. If you're looking for Sushi... place your reservation across the street at Nobu. The food presentation and quality wasn't worth the price. The service was a joke... guests were walking out for not being served any of their food. When I asked our waiter when we can expect our food, he replied with "I don't know." The owner was walking around asking guests how things are going and trying to play damage control. Worst dining experience ever! Good luck to anyone dining here on Valentine's Day. read more

Stopped by Sake House, and the ambiance alone already sets the tone. The ocean view is incredible, and the whole place has a really nice theme that makes it feel like a special spot, especially if you're there around sunset. We started with chicken karaage, miso soup, and yakisoba noodles with chicken, then moved on to the albacore crispy onion and salmon sashimi. The food was a bit hit-or-miss for us. The chicken karaage had a lot of batter and honestly leaned more toward chicken nugget territory than karaage. The yakisoba was slightly too sweet for my taste. That said, the albacore crispy onion and seared salmon handroll completely exceeded our expectations, easily the standout of the meal, and the salmon sashimi was solid. Service was great throughout the night, and the staff were attentive and helpful whenever we needed anything. If you're coming for the view and a relaxed Malibu vibe, this place definitely delivers. Just know what to order, and you'll have a much better experience. read more

Attentive service, luxurious feel, ideal for date nights. I'm obsessed--highly recommend! Going back soon! read more

I'll try to keep this short and simple. The food overall tasted good, but the portions are TOO small, especially for the price. These prices for these small bites are TOOO much. Lowkey overpriced. The service was alright, could be better. There are a lot of staff, but it seemed unorganized. We didn't get 2-3 of our orders and took quite long for it to not even come. I think when it comes to a bigger party, thy seem to be caught off guard and get disorganized. Francisco(?) our server, was really nice and tried his best to keep our experience great, but unfortunately it wasn't the best, he's a great server though. The ambiance is probably the only thing i liked about this place. Would i recommend coming here? no not really, i'd go somewhere else to have Sake, Sushi, Sashimi, etc. It was our first time coming, but I wouldn't come back. BUT! if you're a person who wants a small bite in Malibu and don't mind the prices, sure, you can go. I would give this place a 2 1/2 stars if possible. It wasn't a great experience, but not the worst. read more

Recently dined at sake house, honestly the only thing great was view and ambience. Sad that the sushi was a huge let down.

Sake House Malibu is such a vibe. The setting is beautiful and relaxed, perfect for a date night or a night out with friends. The ambiance alone makes it worth visiting. Stylish, warm, and very Malibu. The drinks were well crafted and enjoyable, we had mocktails with a refined twist. Everything felt intentional, from the presentation to the atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you actually want to sit, talk, and take your time instead of rushing out. Service was friendly and welcoming, which really added to the experience. You can tell they care about how guests feel while they're there. Overall, this is a great spot if you're looking for something elevated but still comfortable. Definitely a must-visit in Malibu and a place I'd happily come back to. read more
