Sake House Malibu

It’s a little pricey but it’s amazing view and the set up.. came here for my daughter birthday. The customer services wasn’t all that great . The food was kinda good the chicken karaage was over fried because chicken was to dry. The salmon sashimi was good, and the yakisoba noodles was ok. The valet parking in structure is $20 cash and credit card has a fee, rather u park or they park it’s same price. If you don’t want to park in structure and pay then u need to park outside and walk up.

To start off, my boyfriend and I went out on a whim and decided to see if there was any walk in seating on Valentines Day afternoon. We were delighted to be greeted by such friendly staff who informed us we could dine there. To start we got the Shumai Dumplings w/ chicken and spicy ponzu. They were packed with filling and delicious. Small portion, but expected. Next we received our cucumber salad which we used to complement our Kanpachi and Tuna Sashimi. Both were to die for especially when complimented with the acidity of the cucumbers. We finished two hand rolls, one seared scallop and one albacore. Both were perfect. We ended with Green tea, vanilla, and red bean mochi. Overall 9/10 experience. Will absolutely come back. Breathtaking view as well!

At first glance, this is one of the most beautiful atmospheres to dine in. The architecture is absolutely stunning, and being surrounded by such aesthetic detail is a delight in itself. Unfortunately, that initial impression fades when you get to the menu. The food selection is very limited and the prices feel quite unreasonable for what’s offered. On top of that, our experience was dampened by a waitress who did not seem particularly welcoming or personable. Overall, the view and ambiance alone make this place worth visiting at least once, but I do wish the menu were more thoughtfully curated and the pricing more fair. I’d recommend it primarily for the experience and visual appeal rather than the food.

2/8/2026 - Sake House Malibu was built from a ground zero and open to the public in Sept. 2025. It offers an Asian and Japanese cuisine with a spectacular panoramic Malibu Coastline Ocean view. The highlight was the Warm Mushroom Salad and Miso Black Cod Lettuce Wraps, etc. This is a place for your special occasion to celebrate!

First thing the view is amazing. It's elevated and you can see the ocean for miles out. My stress level went down as soon as I sat down because of the view. The a5 Wagyu Kushiyaki was tender and juicy. It was a great appetizer. I went with the green tea as my drink of choice. Great the Premium Toro, as it was fresh and practically melted in my mouth. It's a great place for a date where you can have intimate conversations or a group of friends to get together and hang out and relax with great food.
