The lettuce and tomato gave it that fresh fast-casual balance. The bun held everything together without turning into a wet napkin, which honestly deserves respect. It was the kind of sandwich you finish without complaints, but not the kind you text the group chat about at midnight. The cheddar melt burger had a solid look and a familiar flavor. Cheesy. Messy enough to feel satisfying. Straightforward in a way that almost felt shy. Nothing was off. Nothing was doing backflips either. It landed right in that middle lane of reliable lunch. Good enough to enjoy. Not dramatic enough to become a craving. Staff was friendly from jump. Easy energy. Clean interaction. No attitude. No confusion. The whole place felt organized and polite in a way that makes the visit smoother than the food is memorable. The spot itself was clean and calm. Comfortable. Functional. More grab-a-bite than hidden gem. The kind of place you stop by when you want something easy and pleasant without needing fireworks. It's giving... a perfectly nice sitcom side character who gets laughs but is not stealing the season.

It's out of the way so almost no tourists, it's super chill and a great way to take advantage of our beautiful weather. Very polite staff, nothing fancy, just beautiful mountains, lots of natural greenery and a bright pretty indoor area with a fabulous fireplace in inclement weather. I absolutely used to go crazy over their Curry mango chicken salad, I wish they would bring that back. Good for sandwiches, light salads, eggs. It's a fairly small menu but easy to find healthy enough options, as well as traditional hardier brunch selections.

A small sign at the entrance says Malibu Racquet Club. There is ample parking. It looks like a new business. Sleek lines and blonde wood welcome guests up the stairs. It opens to an attractive seating lounge and bar. Straight ahead is the patio dining area. Friendly staff greeted us and brought drinks promptly. We tried the strawberry ricotta pancakes. Two large ones per serving. One of us had the tuna melt with sweet potato fries. It was all delicious. We would definitely recommend it. Ambiance was quiet. Beautiful greenery all around. Really a perfect experience on a special day.

There's a parking lot right outside which sometimes can get full. If it's full, go next door to the Kith lot and there's plenty of underground parking there.

First of all, when my husband and I decided to come here after a Solstice Canyon hike, I thought on…read morefirst glance that this was a lil BBQ spot haha (the chef/owner's name is Howdy -- I noticed the apostrophe afterwards)! After seeing the menu and reading the reviews online, we saw that this was a wonderful fusion place with the best reviews -- Yelp didn't let us down! I ordered the chicken teriyaki and subbed sushi rice for salad (the chef paired it with the most amazing seaweed salad), and my husband ordered the salmon bowl and subbed sushi rice for mixed greens as well. The salmon was soft, melted in your mouth and truly on par with the salmon I had in Japan!! The chicken was delicious as well - and the veggies paired with it in the bowl were really tasty. The seating area could use a bit more work, as I felt like the food felt authentic and a hidden gem but the prices for the dishes were on par with that of a sit-down restaurant! You order at the front and pay first, then a server brings the food to your table (if you decide to sit there). We came on Fourth of July for a little bday lunch - and I'm so happy I got to spend my birthday trying out another great restaurant! Will definitely be back and/or check out the Agoura Hills location!

It was not printed on the receipt, she wrote it down. After a little time had gone by, a group of people came in and asked for the bathroom code, before ordering. She gave the code to all of them with out a care. Not sure what was up her butt today but it was pretty weirdo activity.

I ordered a Coke, a side of fries and a turkey, bacon, avocado sandwich. Everything was very good and tasted very fresh. The fries were nice and crispy. Both of the people we encountered were extremely nice. The Customer Service was wonderful. They were very helpful and very polite and always had a smile on their face. While we were eating, we saw many people coming in and out. This place definitely does get busy and for good reason. They do have several menu options. There are a few tables to sit at, but they also have additional chairs and tables that you can set up if needed. It's in a little plaza. Though it gets busy, there's a decent amount of parking. They do have a bathroom on the side of the building. For those who are ADA, just be aware that when you go to the bathroom, there is a step down. Not very far but watch your step. I definitely recommend trying this place and we will be back when we're in the area.

I went with the breakfast burrito for roughly $15. For the price, I was hoping for something a little larger, as the burrito was only about 7 inches. That being said, the food came out relatively fast, and the service was very friendly, with a smile at the end of every sentence. I especially loved the ambiance of the location. You can sit outside under an umbrella, relax, and enjoy the surrounding nature. Overall, it's a nice, laid back spot to grab a bite after a day at the beach.

Love the wall of famous actors stopped by the shop. Love the picture of the owner and his family. I will definitely go back!

The hostesses are always gracious and welcoming, and the servers consistently provide exceptional service. Every visit feels special. The food is simply outstanding. We've worked our way through almost the entire menu, and everything is consistently fresh and beautifully prepared. The sushi and fish are incredibly fresh, the fried rice is hands down the best we've ever had, and the miso-marinated black cod is absolutely unforgettable--it's an absolute must-order every single time we visit. And whatever you do, don't leave without ordering a lychee martini. It's the perfect complement to an already incredible dining experience.

If you ever find yourself craving some of Malibu's finest sushi, Bui Sushi is one of those places…read moreyou simply have to experience. I've been coming here since they first opened, and it's remained a favorite for a reason...it never misses. There are a few things I consider completely non-negotiable, and the surf and turf roll is one of them. It's just that good! And if you love yellowtail sashimi, theirs is consistently fresh, delicate, and beautifully done. I always add extra jalapeño's, but do you. We went as a group of five and shared a bit of everything (the only way to do it, in my opinion), and there were so many standouts. The pumpkin tempura was unexpectedly addictive, and the scallops we had prepared two different ways, were absolute perfection... the kind that just melt the second they hit your palate. What really makes this place special, though, is the full experience. The service is warm and polished without ever feeling overdone, the cocktails are crafted just right, and the outdoor seating has that relaxed Malibu charm. It's the kind of place you keep coming back to, and quietly recommend to people who appreciate when things are done right.
