“If it’s Friday it must be sushi!”

By: Gracee Arthur

Zooma Sushi has been a fixture in Malibu since 1987. It is a spot I have been frequenting for many years.  Quite a few warm friendships have been nurtured at the sushi bar watching Chef Toshi prepare dinner. Toshi, who hails from Tokyo, has been buying the fish, planning the menu and creating the sushi dishes for 23 years.

Recently, owner Peter Soli, remodeled the interior of the restaurant giving it a sleek minimalist look and adding more comfy chairs to the bar. In addition to a few indoor tables, there is  an outdoor patio which is shared with the Corral Beach Cantina That comes in handy if you have non-sushi eating friends (imagine that?).

There are daily specials at Zooma including Live Scallops, and occasionally Blue Fin tuna. Also there are some awesome rolls like the Double Trouble which is prepared with seared Albacore in a special sauce.

The prices are moderate, the quality good and all the basics (tuna, yellow tail, salmon, etc.) are available most of the time. The menu is currently being expanded  to include more varieties of fish and some  creative new rolls. Toshi is always ready to create something special for you.

A good selection of wine, beer and saki (hot or cold) are available and the Cantina has a full bar. Reservations are recommended for tables and large parties. The sushi bar gets busy on the weekends so you may need to sign in and wait a bit; while waiting you can enjoy a drink on the patio.

Zooma Sushi is open for dinner 7 days a week Sun.-Thursday 5:05 -10/ Friday & Saturday 5:05-10:30. Located at 29350 Pacific Coast Highway Malibu. For Reservations 310-457-4131 Zooma Sushi
