OUR STORY

Resilience & Community

Since opening our doors in 2006, Bui Sushi has always been about more than food. It’s about connection — the guests who gather here, the team who shows up every day, and the community that has supported us through every chapter.

We are deeply grateful to be a standing pillar in this community. Having survived the challenges of the Palisades Fire, we feel incredibly fortunate to have our doors open and our home intact. It is a privilege to continue serving our neighbors and friends, sharing the resilience and spirit that defines Malibu.

With thoughtfully sourced fish, handcrafted cocktails, and a welcoming space by the coast, we remain committed to being a place where people come together — today and for years to come.

Our Food Philosophy

Our menu is rooted in a respect for quality, freshness, and balance.

We source premium fish from Japan and Hawaii whenever possible, allowing the ingredients to guide each dish. From sushi and sashimi to warm specialties and shareable plates, everything is prepared with care — honoring traditional techniques while embracing creativity and seasonal inspiration.

Paired with handcrafted cocktails and a thoughtfully curated sake selection, our food is designed to be both refined and approachable. Whether you’re joining us for a casual meal or a special occasion, we aim to create an experience that feels welcoming, flavorful, and distinctly Bui Sushi.
