The food is always exceptional, the service is consistently welcoming, and you can’t beat the oceanfront views — it’s one of the most iconic dining experiences in Malibu. I often bring real estate clients and friends here because it perfectly reflects the luxury coastal lifestyle people fall in love with. Whether it’s a relaxed lunch or a client dinner, the atmosphere and attention to detail make every visit memorable. Definitely one of my Malibu favorites.“

“We had lunch at Bui Sushi and really enjoyed it. There was a special lunch price, and everything was fresh and tasty. We didn’t like the eel roll, but they were very accommodating and quickly substituted it without any problem. The staff was very nice, and overall it was a great experience.“

“The food here is absolutely delicious! I had the The beef with rice and broccoli, and it was full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The noodles were also amazing – fresh and tasty. The outdoor atmosphere was cozy, and the service was quick and friendly. Our waitress was so kind and cheerful, she really made the experience even better. Definitely a place I want to come back to!“

“Best sushi ever. Teddy and his staff treat their customers like family. E+mon has the freshest sushi. Try the nigiri, sashimi or one of their fabulous rolls today.“

“I've haven't been to japan yet but I've had sushi all over the world and this is the best I've had so far. Not the usual quick innexpensive sushi environment, you pay more, but you get a unique eating experience from someone who is a master of their craft. I don't live in cali but eating here is one of the highlights of my trip, and can't wait to go back when I am in town again.“

“Sushi&Wasabi is a quick fix for our Japanese food craving. It’s incredibly convenient, and consistently satisfying. I must add that the stuff is very warm and helpful.

Our family isn’t big on raw fish, so we get sushi like crunch roll and avocado roll. Rice is still warm with all other ingredients done right.
The bento box is a standout: a tasty, full-filling variety of food that hits all the right notes and keeps everyone happy. To top it off, we were treated to the complimentary matcha ice cream for dining in. It is rich, smooth, just delightful.And for the adults, warm sake on a cold day is the perfect touch. Mild, comforting, and best enjoyed responsibly.

This place is a reliable local gem we look forward to returning to.“

“Not a fan… Yellow tail was garbage… I miss Edo Japan“

“Still my favorite place to eat — consistently delicious and beautifully presented. Every dish was a total wow!“

“Sea Butter in Westlake Village is hands down my favorite sushi spot in the area! The sushi is always incredibly fresh, and the staff is so friendly and welcoming. My absolute favorite is the Emma sushi—it just melts in your mouth. The spicy tuna crispy rice is also amazing. I love coming here with my family and always have a great experience. If you’re looking for top-quality sushi and great service, this is the place to go!“

“I just went for a 2nd time last night (1st time was last year) and oh my gosh this place is awesome! not only is the food absolutely delicious and there's a huge variety of things you could get but the service is fantastic and the servers and owner- a young lady we met, are all so nice and helpful and considerate. Throw in the prices are so reasonable compared to many. I so wish there was one closer to my home over on the west side of L.A.,. but I'll just have to make the trip more often!“

“Wow! If you like great sushi, great service, and great ambiance - you have to check out Yume in Calabasas! This is my third time coming back and hands down it’s the best sushi my friends and I have had. I haven’t been to the Studio City location yet, but from what I hear…same same. I wish I took some pictures! The presentation is awesome. 😊🍣😋“

“The sushi is good, the beer and wine selection are not, though the wine that *is* offered is high quality. Service was a bit slow this time around (sat at the sushi bar). The prices are ok, not notably inexpensive, but again, the sushi is decent.“

“From the moment I walked into Pokitomik, I was greeted to the max with friendly smiles and a welcoming vibe that immediately set the tone for the visit. The place has a clean and inviting atmosphere, and you can tell right away that customer service is a priority here.

I decided to go with a poke bowl, and let me just say—it was made to absolute perfection. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, with the toppings complementing each other without being overwhelming. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients, which is something that sets this spot apart from others.

One of the highlights I’d recommend is the Hawaiian Salmon Mix—it’s truly unbeatable. The salmon was incredibly fresh and paired so well with the mix of flavors. Honestly, this is some of the best poke I’ve had in a very long time, and I’ve tried quite a few places in the area.

If you’re nearby, I highly recommend stopping by Pokitomik. Whether you’re a poke lover or just trying it for the first time, you’ll leave satisfied and impressed. I’ll definitely be coming back again and again.“

“The sushi here is absolutely excellent, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. You can really taste the quality in every bite. It’s also such a great value for the price, which makes the experience even better. I especially recommend the vegetarian roll, which was delicious, and the salmon avocado roll, which was perfectly balanced and so satisfying. The specialty dishes are fantastic as well, the crispy tuna dish, in particular, was outstanding and full of flavor.
One detail I really noticed and appreciated was how beautifully they cut the avocado. It’s such a small thing, but it shows the level of care and attention that goes into every plate, making the presentation just as enjoyable as the taste.
I really like that there’s the option to order individual rolls from the menu, which I personally preferred. At the same time, they also offer really good lunch specials that are generous and worth checking out if you want a complete meal at a great price. We came here for dinner and everything exceeded expectations.
Another thing that stood out, aside from the food, was the care and attention from the chef. It’s clear that he pays attention to his customers and takes pride in making sure everyone has a great experience, which adds so much to the atmosphere. The service overall was warm, attentive, and friendly, making the evening even more enjoyable.
I also have to mention the ginger — it was excellent, fresh, and had just the right flavor, which I personally loved. It elevated the sushi perfectly and showed the thoughtfulness that goes into the small details here.
Overall, this restaurant is a real gem. From the fresh and delicious sushi to the beautifully cut avocado, the attentive chef, excellent service, and even the little touches like the quality ginger, everything came together to make it a memorable dining experience. Highly recommended for both lunch and dinner!“

“Very tasty food. A bit pricey, but worth it.“

“The wait took about 2.5 hours on a Saturday night but it was still so worth it! It is top 5 best sushi I've ever had- the Shibuya house roll, rainbow roll, spicy tuna crispy cakes and miso soup were out of this world. The spicy yellow tail and miso cod were also very good. The staff were extremely friendly and fast despite being incredibly busy. Would definitely come back if I have time to wait!“

“Such a cute environment. We went around 7pm on a Tuesday and it was pretty empty. We got the jade curry, beef satay, and the west side wontons which were all fire. We also met Pookie herself and she was so sweet. Worth a second visit for sure! I would say new menus or a digital menu would be nice but the menus are cool with the wood and the metal detailing.“

“Tomodachi is outstanding. The sushi is always fresh and delicious, and the quality is on another level. The sushi chef makes incredible suggestions and every recommendation has been spot on. You can tell how much pride they take in their work with every plate that comes out. If you can, sit at the sushi bar—it makes the experience even better watching the chef create everything right in front of you. This has quickly become one of my favorite sushi spots, and I can’t wait to come back.“

“Love the food fresh and yummy ❤️“

“I would give this restaurant 10 stars if I could. Seriously the best fish in town. No other place in our Conejo community even compares. Not too mention great ambiance, great service, and a wonderful hands on owner, Binh, who genuinely cares about your full satisfied experience. But we are all here for the sushi and again nothing else comes close to comparing in terms of quality. They are switching up what fish is in based on what's in season. If you want the full experience, try the omakase. Best in town! Thankful for this gem.“

“Good quality sushi, attentive and accommodating staff.“

“This is my absolute favorite restaurant in Los Angeles!!! Head chef Jan is constantly creating new and exciting dishes. Roast & Rice is a unique and innovative spin on Thai, Japanese and Asian fusion cuisine. ❤️❤️❤️“

“Hikari is a neighborhood sushi bar with very fresh fish and fair prices. The albacore sashimi melted in my mouth, and the spicy tuna crispy rice was one of the best I’ve had. Service is quick and friendly, and the chef always greets you. It’s not flashy, but the food is better than many places in LA. Great for a chill weekday sushi dinner“

“Great Sushi Bar staring Nhina. He creates some amazing dishes. Love this place!“
