“**5 Stars - An Unforgettable Culinary Experience**

From the moment we stepped through the door, the warm welcome set the tone for an extraordinary evening. The attentive service struck the perfect balance—present when needed, yet never intrusive.

The tasting menu was nothing short of exceptional. Each course showcased the chef’s masterful understanding of flavor harmony, presenting unexpected combinations of ingredients. What impressed us most was the restraint and precision—every element served a purpose, creating dishes that were both sophisticated and approachable.

The pacing was flawless. As we savored the final bite of each course, we could hear the gentle sizzle from the kitchen as our next dish began its journey to the table. Every plate arrived at the perfect temperature, seasoned with remarkable finesse. Nothing competed for attention; instead, each flavor complemented the others in beautiful harmony.

Having dined at numerous Michelin-starred establishments, we were genuinely surprised this gem isn’t booked solid every evening. The quality rivals the finest restaurants we’ve experienced, yet maintains an intimate, unpretentious atmosphere that makes the experience feel personal and special.

After reading the glowing reviews that led us here, we arrived with high expectations—and CharcoalNiku exceeded every one of them. This is precisely the kind of restaurant that deserves community support and recognition.

We’ll absolutely return on our next visit to town. CharcoalNiku has earned a permanent place on our must-visit list.”

“Best wonton soup within at least 35 miles. Incredible. It is rich, full bodied, smooth, and full of robust flavors. It’s the only place in town that isn’t using too much dough or overcooking their dumplings. The meat inside is outstanding as well. My god, I’m so excited about discovering this place and this soup.”

“Classic diner style breakfast (all day) at decent prices. The best part was ordering over-easy and actually getting over-easy!
Love the bottomless cup.
Real home fries!
I'm going back for sure.”

“quick hot and tasty was my slice! enjoyed i a lot thx Tony's”

“We can't rave enough about Kaye's Cake Designs! We had a last minute thought to get a Mother's Day custom cake made with figures of my Brother, Sister and I as kids. Kaye even included our cat. She matched the pictures we sent in perfectly and even had us wearing the exact same outfits. She is so very talented and the attention to detail was amazing. We couldn't stop looking at it. We didn't even want to eat it because the cake so was beautiful but we are glad we did. Best cake I've ever tasted. Thanks Kaye for making my Mom's Mother's Day so special! :)”

“I’m not usually a big coffee drinker, but I was up super early visiting family, so this place just called my name.

Normally, I do mobile orders and pick up in-store, but today I decided to try the drive-through, and it was smooth and efficient. It was freezing outside, so instead of my usual caramel Frappuccino, I went for a hot mocha, and it was absolutely delicious. I love how you can customize your drinks, so of course, I added extra whipped cream.

The staff was incredibly kind and friendly—honestly, they seemed way cheerier than I did for such an early hour!”

“Food is good and they are quick!”

“Customer Server Cinthia is incredibly kind and well articulated when it comes down to helping the customer with doubts, with any concerns and as an Urban Plates representative!!!”

“A little bit pricey but it is very very good quality food. Eggs are super fresh, good strong coffee, everything I’ve had there has been fantastic. Ambience is lovely as well.

Parking: Small parking lot right by the restaurant that can get full. Plenty of parking on the opposite side of the building if there are no spots.”

“Love this place. Was so happy they were able to accommodate us today on Mother’s Day. Amazing Food, Amazing Staff, can’t wait to go back.”

“Best chicken biscuit, I love the donuts , biscuit beignets and blue berry biscuit”

“This is our second great date night at the mighty axe and thanks to JT’s axe throwing tutorial, we managed to pretend that we were professionals when in reality, we are just lucky to hit the board. My wrists are messed up right now, so he was really helpful in helping me find a way to throw without causing pain. I early recommend this place and JT! Be back soon!”

“Wonderful! Beautiful setting!Relaxing atmosphere! Great service!”

“The sandwiches are superb!”

“Helpful and welcoming staff. Wonderful selection curated to please every palate. Best pizza crust I have ever tasted. Salad options first class and delicious. We will be back!”

“Ordering. Breakfast burrito from TCK will ruin your life. You’ll never be able to stop thinking about them. You’ll dream about them. If you get one with a side of green salsa and the spicy aioli, forget it. You’re addicted for life. This place is the best spot in Malibu.”

“So far the best authentic Italian pizza I have had in 10 years living in USA. And I am Italian so that says enough! Everything was perfect. High quality food. Forza ragazzi 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹”

“Love this coffee shop, nice ambiance and staff is very friendly!”

“Amazing experience!! The VW tour was magnificent, everything was perfect! The wine tastings (2 whites, 1 rosé and 2 reds) were delicious! We even had a very good quality snack with cheese, sausages, chocolate, olive tapenade, crackers and honey! Our guide was just incredible and super friendly (big up to Jonatan)! The experience is really worth the price and I highly recommend it if you are passing through Malibu ✌?☀️”

“Great 🇬🇷 food and excellent service!!!”

“I was starting to miss the flavors of home after weeks of eating American food. Luckily, my friend @Massimiliano Russomanno knew just the place to take me. Antonio Sessa's Made in Italy was a delightful surprise. Every bite transported me back to Italy. The food was prepared with such care and passion that it was clear this Italian Chef had a truly deep love for our cuisine. If you're craving authentic Italian food, I highly recommend giving this place a try 🥰🥰👍🏻🫶🙌🏻🙌🏻”

“What a fantastic experience! The seating, food, and the owners and staff were all excellent!!! The mango sticky rice and oolong boba tea are amazing! I will definitely be coming back. This is my new favorite spot!”

“I had a wonderful stay at Malibu Beach Inn! The hotel facilities were truly exceptional. The location right on the beach is absolutely stunning, and the views from the rooms are breathtaking. The rooms themselves are elegantly decorated and extremely comfortable, making it a perfect place to relax and unwind. The staff at the hotel were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that every aspect of my stay was enjoyable. One of the highlights of the stay was meeting Realda. She was the most gracious host and her attention to detail was incredible. She kindly upgraded our room as it was my sisters birthday, we had a cake in the room along with a sweet birthday card. She packed up a bag of towels and freshly baked cookies we could enjoy on the beach. She was amazing! Malibu Beach Inn exceeded my expectations in every way, providing a luxurious and unforgettable beachfront experience. I can't wait to return and make more cherished memories at this exceptional hotel.”

“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!”

“Great service & dinner was fabulous!”

“I recently visited this Indian restaurant and was blown away by the flavors! The chicken tikka masala was rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced—easily one of the best I’ve ever had. The cheese naan was warm, soft, and oozing with cheesy goodness—perfect for dipping into the curry. Every bite was comforting and packed with flavor. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine!”

“Amazingly unique and delicious food, fun atmosphere and wonderful service. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
