Karen and I had our first experience at Nobu Malibu on a rainy afternoon, and it ended up being one of the best meals we’ve ever had.
From the moment we sat down, Sapeer took incredible care of us. Every recommendation he made was flawless — he paced the meal perfectly and guided us through what felt like a curated tasting experience. Jackie was equally fantastic — warm, attentive, and genuinely excited about the dishes she was bringing out.
The food absolutely lived up to — and exceeded — the hype. The yellowtail jalapeño was the clear star of the show. It was one of the best bites we’ve ever had. The scallop and whitefish sashimi specials were stunning and beautifully balanced. Honestly, every sashimi dish was exceptional. Even the black cod, rock shrimp, and yuzu ribeye were outstanding (though we definitely over-ordered because everything sounded too good to pass up).
Between the ocean view, the fireplace, the service, and the precision of every dish, it was a memorable experience from start to finish.
We’ll absolutely be back.
Absolutely amazing food, beautiful restaurant, have visited Nobu in Dubai, Qatar, Marbella, London and this is by far the best one!
The food was amazing, mouth watering especially the steak was my favourite, it had like a garlicy topping on it and I still crave it everyday, also the Rib eye tacos were exceptional! Would come back anytime!
We came at night time but I’d say during the day the views are fabulous and the sounds of the waves crashing are amazing!
We miss Nobu Malibu and will be back for the best food ever! The service was also great the waiter was chatty and advising us on what to pick, wine was also great!

I dreamed of coming here two years ago for my birthday, but couldn’t get a reservation in time.
Today it finally happened — and it was absolutely worth the wait.
Incredible atmosphere, outstanding food, and sunsets that feel almost unreal.
The service was flawless — our waiter was attentive, warm, and made the evening even more special.
A truly iconic place and an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended.
Parking was valet, and service was fast. Servers were polite and regularly refilled drinks
The atmosphere is very instagrammable.
I recently went to Nobu Malibu for a dinner date to celebrate our 10 year anniversary!
Upon arriving with a reservation, we were promptly seated on the patio space that faces the ocean – I loved the views and the atmosphere here – 100% perfect!
The sound of the crashing waves every few minutes, the warm..cozy lighting, the upscale and yet relaxing, chill atmosphere..I’m in love!
There were also plenty of heat lamps above, so even on a chilly November evening, I actually felt a little bit hot!
Service was EXTREMELY attentive, friendly, and helpful with giving information and advice on menu items/customizing things to personal preferences.
Of the food we got here, the Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna was a definite favorite!!
A perfect blend of the crunchy exterior and an explosion from within as you take a bite – perfectly subtle heat and spice to match the rest of the flavor profiles.
Everything else we ordered was similarly high-quality and solid – the only thing we’d probably skip on a future visit is the Rock Shrimp Tempura..which honestly just tasted a bit mushy and bland.
We also enjoyed a couple rounds of cocktails during our dinner – all the drinks were beautifully presented and had a good strength to them.
My favorite of the evening was the Malibu Breeze – a great option for anyone who enjoys a lightly fruity cocktail!
All in all, this was the perfect spot to celebrate 10 years together, and they gave us a wonderful evening.
I definitely believe Nobu Malibu is worth the hype, especially when wishing to celebrate a special occasion!
For me, this was a completely new experience with Japanese cuisine. I tried flavors and dishes that I genuinely loved, and a few that weren’t necessarily my personal preference—but that’s part of the experience, and I appreciated the opportunity to explore something new. The variety of flavors throughout the evening was impressive and memorable.
This has nothing to do with the restaurant itself, but one thing I found surprising was how many people seemed deeply immersed in their phones instead of enjoying the stunning ocean views, the sound of the waves, and the people sitting across from them. When you’re spending $500–$1,000 on a dinner, it feels like an experience meant to be fully present and shared.
Maybe it’s just a California thing—but either way, Nobu Malibu is a place worth savoring in every sense.
