25 Best Sushi Bars near Malibu

“Nobu Malibu never disappoints. 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.“

“My husband and I was visiting Malibu for our 35th anniversary. We found this place on Open table and decided to try it out. We were not disappointed. We sat in the covered patio area which was really nice. Food was delicious and the service was great. The place had a great vibe and relaxing atmosphere !“

“Malibu Sushi offers fresh, well-prepared sushi in a relaxed, coastal setting. The fish is high quality, the rolls are creative yet balanced, and the presentation is clean. Friendly service and a laid-back vibe make it a great spot for a casual lunch or dinner after a day at the beach.“

“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.“

“honestly one of the bets sushi spots around here. we walked in for lunch last tuesday and everything was fresh and the service was super friendly. definitely my new fav place to go freind said the same they already been there a bunch. gonna be coming back lots“

“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!“

“Went here for my birthday after friends recommended - had no idea how cool this place would be! From the outside, you definitely don't expect it to be as special as it is inside. We loved the little bites we got. For two of us, it came to about $180 (we ordered about 8 things so not bad). Our favorites were the yellowtail cilantro roll, crispy shrimp & yellowtail sushi. A little bit of a backup when we first arrived (drinks came after our apps came) but I guess they got a rush that they didn't expect. We'll definitely be back, not enough places like this in the area! Loved. :)“

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

“I’m so glad I found this place. Yes it is the BEST sushi in Conejo Valley. The chef knows his fish. We got most of the specials on the board which were mostly from Japan. I will say that it was expensive but so worth it. Maybe stick to the nigiri on the menu and it won’t cost so much. But I’m so glad I do not have to drive into LA for great sushi. I’m a fan.“

“My husband and I just happened to be in the Thousand Oaks area and found Pokitomik through a google search. We are VERY GLAD we did! The fish is incredibly fresh, great portions, and the owner is the kindest man you’ll ever meet. I’m picky about my poké, but I loved everything about this eatery. 10/10 recommend!“

“When Pierre Chapet gets involved with a Restaurant you know your getting the freshest sushi 🍣 and the best services out there! Abraham Essinger, LCT Bend, Oregon“

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

“I recently took my daughter to Seabutter in Westlake Village, and we had a great experience. She ordered the miso soup, Sunset Roll, and the yellowtail with scallions hand roll, and everything was fresh and high quality.

It’s a great little sushi spot with an excellent sushi bar. Just be aware that seating inside is limited, and some of the tables are pretty small, so it fills up quickly during peak hours. It’s definitely on the pricey side, but that’s pretty common for good sushi these days.

If you’re looking for quality sushi, I’d definitely recommend Seabutter. If you’re looking for a restaurant with a bigger atmosphere or a place to linger for the evening, you may want to choose somewhere else.“

“It's a pretty good place to have Thai food. Went here as a family, reserved and went thinking it would be full.. Surprisingly empty... Tasty food.. Singapore noodles were yummy, so were most of the dishes.. Only exception being Thai chicken.“

“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.“

“Good quality sushi, attentive and accommodating staff.“

“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!“

“Love the food fresh and yummy ❤️“

“This place definitely surprised us! We were very happy to have found such an outstanding restaurant. The restaurant is pretty big and very pretty, we sat at the bar. The sashimi was AMAZING! I wanted to go back everyday :) the roll was not my favorite, but good, the skewers one of them too much garlic sweet sauce. Customer service was great!“

“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. ❤️❤️❤️“

“Shibuya in Calabasas is extremely popular for a reason. The wait can be long, but the food is absolutely worth it. The fish tasted very fresh, the portions were generous, and everything we tried was delicious.

I really enjoyed the shrimp sushi with roe, the hand roll, and the crispy fried shrimp head with the dipping sauce — so flavorful and beautifully prepared. The sake selection was also a nice touch and paired well with the meal.

The restaurant is small and busy, so I recommend going early and putting your name on the waitlist. The atmosphere is casual and lively, and even though it can get crowded, the quality of the sushi makes the experience feel special.

Definitely one of the best sushi spots in Calabasas. I’ll be coming back.“

“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“

“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.“

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