Wagyu Taco 9.

89/10 this was absolutely AMAZING. This melted in my mouth, absolutely unreal. It was the size of my pinky toe but so absolutely worth it. If I participated in an eating contest I'd choose these. Lobster Taco 9/10 very delicious and packed with lobsta. Had light yet powerful citrus flavor. House Roll 8.8/10 had crab, tuna, salmon, toro and one more thing that I forget. Very yummy, loaded roll. I hated the white crunchy wrap on the outside to I removed it with each bite. Order without. Spicy Tuna Roll 8.4/10 fresh and delicious. A nice staple I will always get. Relatively cheap too. Baked Crab Handroll 7.6/10 I was so full at this point it was hard to enjoy. Mango Passion Martini 9.3/10 I think the best martini I have ever had. Sweet and delicious. Had a nice texture too. Espresso Martini 5.3/10 not impressed

Absolutely love this spot! Sushi with a view of the water

Absolutely love this spot! Sushi with a view of the water and delicious cocktails is the perfect recipe for a girls night out. Be sure to order the date cake for dessert it's so so good!! Valet parking only. Indoor and outdoor seating available be sure to make a reservation unless you are cool with bar seating.

The sushi was good especially the toro.

I took off one star because the wait was long. The view was the best part. Definitely will be back!

You can definitely see why this place is so popular.

The staff is kind and attentive. The lychee martini was refreshing and the food was delicious. Love that it's right on the water. A very special place.

On Sunday February 26, 2023 we went to nobu to celebrate my daughter's birthday with my family, wow what a great experience it was our first time going that far from Upland CA to Malibu to celebrate dinner with the fam. I asked for the pineapple passion fruit martini and I loved it and I had to get a second one. I ordered the lobster with shrimps and mushrooms sauce and it was delicious and very filling and I ordered a shrimp tempura roll and it was good also and lastly I ordered a date cake and it was phenomenal good. I don't recall what everyone ordered but everything was good. Service wise was so good and smooth and the ambiance was very calming and the view to the ocean was beautiful

I don't even know where to begin.

A $200 omakase meal at the sushi counter here clearly means something different than it does in Tokyo, NYC, SF or the rest or LA. At Nobu Malibu it means a bit of sushi, a bunch of cooked food and a ton of terrible service. This was unequivocally the worst meal we have ever had at this price point.

After living in LA for 10 years I finally came to Nobu to

After living in LA for 10 years I finally came to Nobu to see what the hype was about and I was very underwhelmed. The food was ok. The cooked hot food was tasty but sushi was whatever. I felt like the quality should be soooo much better for the price. Drinks were delicious but very slow . This is definitely a place to come for the vibes and experience. We had an amazing table and it was super gorgeous.

My husband and I decided to see what the hype was all about

My husband and I decided to see what the hype was all about after hearing about Nobu on a rap song. "NOBU NOBU NOBU!" Did not disappoint, we did a walk in on a Sunday night and was placed on a 45 min waitlist but was able to find seats at the bar while we waited for a table to become available. The drinks were good, and the food was even better. 10/10 would return!

I'm conflicted with this place.

If you can get a seat outside by the water, the views are amazing. Those tables are hard to come by, and I know because I waited a while before I could secure one of them. We all ordered the omakase and I would not recommend it. Every single dish was actually was very disappointing. I can't remember one that I enjoyed. Everything was heavily sauced, which is a shame because great ingredients were used. So honestly the dishes are just pretty to look at, but not much else. Service was excellent though. I would only return for drinks and small bites. And not have such high expectations.

You can never go wrong with Nobu! From the sushi to the view, everything is always amazing!

I was sooooooo looking forward to this.

..thought we would have an amazing sushi experience. Sushi is sub par, I sat next to someone important I think because our server definitely gave them priority even though they were out of there mind on something. We sat at the sushi bar and the chef was so good to us and saw what was going on next to us embarrassing and Empathized with the situation. Ugh such a disappointment Views are nice It's a party spot

I will never step foot into this over rated restaurant.

Hostesses are rude and unprofessional. Make you wait for over hour and half. Promise a table for dinner and after over 1 1/2 hour tell sorry you need to wait longer or seat on the couches where we specifically said we don't want to seat there. Not worth it! Think about it twice before waisting your money here where you are treated terribly.

I felt bummed that I could not make a reservation for 1 or

I felt bummed that I could not make a reservation for 1 or get an estimate on the wait time over the phone. When I arrived I put my name in for a table and found a seat at the bar pretty quickly. They said the table would take an hour and a half. I got the table in 10 minutes or so and switched over there since the bar was very noisy and crowded. I didn't realize that my table was right in front of the fish at the sushi bar. I am vegan and animal products tend to make my stomach turn. When I told the waiter I was vegan and gluten free she said that would be tough, but named a few popular substitutions. I ordered the artichoke salad which had a gross, salty fishy taste. The eggplant miso was delicious and the veggie sushi was good. I also really like the passion fruit lychee drink I got. When I left I was still hungry but I really wanted to get away from the view and smell of the fish.

OK, let me start off with a disclaimer.

I am the wrong demographic for this restaurant. Literally everyone else in Nobu tonight was young, beautiful and rich. I am none of the above.That said, let me explain the rating that is so different than most of the others posted.We called a month ago to make this reservation to celebrate my wife's and my daughter's birthdays. We wanted an outside table only (both because of being covid cautious and because the view is soooo much better when you are seated outside). No problem and they would acknowledge the birthdays by putting their names and a candle in the dessert we order. While they did honor the time of our reservation, we were given a table away from the outside deck close to the bar. The host told us they would never guarantee an outside table - take it or leave it. When our dessert came, no candle or name on the plate. Not even a verbal "happy birthday" from the food runner who brought the dessert to the table. And in addition to not having the view of the ocean, our inside table was literally 6 inches from the tables next to ours. While I could not hear a word my daughter was saying, the stranger sitting 6 inches from me at the next table was a loud talker. I heard every word of her conversation. The noise level in the inside area was akin to what you get a loud rock concert. Some people like that vibe. I found it quite unpleasant.The food was good. We started with a charred octopus special ($36). That was the highlight of the evening. Really very good. My second favorite was the king crab amazu . A bit spicy but excellent. The crispy shiitake salad ($25) and the sea bass shemeji ($44) were OK - not great but OK. We shared the bento box ($16) for dessert. Good, not great.Th enjoyment of a meal at a high end fancy restaurant is a combo of food, service , and ambiance. Here, the food was good to excellent, the service was excellent throughout. But the ambiance was such a negative, I would never go back (since they could not promise an outside table) nor would recommend that a friend go there.

This used to be one of my favorites restaurants when I

This used to be one of my favorites restaurants when I lived in the area. My most recent experience was very disappointing. The hostess was a bit snobbish and unwelcoming. We were provided with 1 menu despite there being more than 1 person seated at the table. Apparently, we were expected to share the menu. I had to ask for eating utensils after my meal was served. This just wasn't the level of service that I'm accustomed to or expected from NOBU. It used to have 5-Star service. Also, it didn't appear to be very clean. The food was still good and one of the hosts, Eric was friendly so that's why I'm giving it 3 stars. I had a much better experience at Geoffrey's up the road.

I really like Nobu a lot.

A LOT. I mean who doesn't? But not for the sushi as you can get the same or better elsewhere but for their cold and hot dishes. This is where they really shine. For cold, Torodito Nobu Style, Bluefin Toro Tartare, Crispy Shitake Salad, Fluke Sashimi w/Dried Miso and Yuzu. Shima Aji w/fried leeks is the only amazing nigiri we'll get as no one has it. For hot, Scallop Truffle Chips, Eggplant Spicy Miso, Dover Sole w/Crispy Spinach, Rib Eye w/Truffle Butter Sauce is YUM AF, Crispy Okra and Crispy Brussels Sprouts. My mouth is watering thinking about the food there. And fine. They shine with their desserts too. I really miss their Black Forest Cake dessert but their Date Cake and Semifreddo hit the spot too. I've had both omakase offerings and both were really good so if it's your first time trying Nobu it's worth getting the omakase to get a feel for what they have to offer but again, the hot & cold dishes are bomb. And yes, it's one of the most beautiful restaurants you can dine in on the coast with an incredible view. It's a bit bougie with the flashiest cars in the lot and name brand everything being worn by uber rich folks all around. I mean SoHo house is right across the way. And with celebrities popping in on the regular, reservations are hard to come by so good luck! And be ready to throw down some coin.

I have been a couple times in the past month.

The view is great. The staff are friendly and very helpful. They give great suggestions as to the preparation for the sushi. The cocktails are perfection and even better on a beautiful day sitting out on the patio overlooking the pacific. I will continue to come back.

Nobu Malibu is the most wonderful restaurant there is.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. The sushi & one of a kind dishes are incredible. I felt very well taken care of while dining. This is the spot to enjoy a high class and beautiful experience.
