Nobu Malibu Reviews
Every visit to Nobu Malibu with my wife is a fantastic
Every visit to Nobu Malibu with my wife is a fantastic experience. The food is always amazing, the drinks are excellent, and you just can't beat the breathtaking ocean view it makes every meal feel special. The staff is a huge part of why we k

The food here was absolutely outstanding -- truly worthy of praise. Every dish was expertly prepared, with flavors that were exceptional and memorable. The ambiance was equally impressive, creating the perfect setting for a flawless evening. The ser
This is a long overdue review for Nobu.
The food was delicious and enjoyable, though for the price I feel there are other restaurants that could offer more variety and flavor. The ambience is a real highlight. It strikes a balance where it can feel casual yet also a little more formal depe

We came here for my wife's birthday this year, and WOW! First off the setting by the water is amazing, and the experience you get from your waiter is great. They helped us try a little bit of everything. Next time I think we will probably be a
We went here for my birthday.
The wait was long but the view is AMAZING! It's overpriced but it's LA what do you expect??? Famous people are there but want to be left alone so they go here. I don't think it's as life changing as it's made out to be but it

I've been eyeing this spot for what feels like forever, but reservations are notoriously hard to snag. So when I finally secured a booking for my birthday night during sunset, it felt like a small victory! (booked exactly at 12am one month in ad

We sat at the bar while we waited for our table and had a couple drinks while we watched the football game, such a fun place for Happy Hour! At the bar we had an appetizer - 2 regular oysters and 4 miso oysters, we absolutely loved the miso oysters.

Worst service worst restaurant ever don't even waste your time. Don't even waste your money. It's not worth spending 100a even thousands of dollars to be under strict rules. The sushi is horrible for the price you're better off go

Amazing experience! The food, the view and service was terrific! Our server John G was personable, attentive and gave us a memorable lunch! Best sushi ever!
Still My Favorite Spot in Malibu
This was my second time dining at Nobu Malibu and this time I wanted to bring my husband so he could experience it too especially the gorgeous sunset. The view is honestly one of the best you’ll find in Malibu, and it really adds to the whole exper
Disappointed in service
Although the food was excellent, when I go to a restaurant and spend a lot of money I expect the service to meet the same quality as the food. My experience was sub par and very disappointing! Our waters were only filled once when glasses were empt
Extremely disrespectful host
The main host was extremely rude. She kept contradicting herself the manager was clearly siding with her but tried to accommodate and failed because our issue was never resolved very badly treated for a place that’s charging so much money and is su
NOBU NO-GO
This is a review about a restaurant I’ve never dined at. Nobu. Be it Nobu London, Nobu Dubai or Nobu Malibu. I was refused a table at all three- I did not “book a month in advance”. Today, Nobu Malibu invited me to come in and take a chance. M
Great food but ….
Service was abysmal. Table wobbly so food dropped on floor.No one offered us new food for ages Bill was wrong ,overcharged by 25pct.Wrong dish was served. Food was tasty especially the miso black cod but they need to sort their act out before we
Lovely setting
I have only recently started eating Japanese food. As a very picky eater I am reluctant to try new food. Anyway I did and it was all wonderful. The setting (overlooking the ocean ) is perfect. The service was excellent and I couldn’t fault the whol
What the heck happened to my Nobu?
Going to Nobu (and the Malibu locations) for 20+ years. Simply put, the food sucked at our last visit. It was average a few months back but the location made up for it. No longer the case. Even the service has gone downhill. But, it’s the food that
Alarmingly, Disastrous Customer Service. Non-celebrities proceed with caution entering this establishment.
This is not my first time at Nobu and the experience today was alarming as I was excited to invite my family to dine with me here instead of the LA location where we usually dine. Sammy the manager and Tina at the front desk are two of the rudest ind

Nobu never disappoints! The food, views and service are unmatched. We recently celebrated a friend's birthday and couldn't be happier! Each dish was better than the next. Our waiter was awesome because he kept making recommendations based on what we
Very Good
The reputation of this restaurant is well established, it's very good and the produce is really fresh.I recommend it if you like fresh fish
First time at Nobu, and it did not disappoint.
We sat on the patio and wow, what a GORGEOUS view. Food and service were great, and it was so nice to take a walk on the beach after a lovely sunset dinner. We will be back!
Unprofessional and rude staff and management.
I'm standing in front of the front desk host and she's on her phone, no greetings for almost a minute until she acknowledges our presence. I had to wait for nearly an hour after my reservation time to get the table that I requested. After about 90 mi

Overall, the experience was pretty good.
I know this place has a huge reputation, but most of it is hype. I think majority of the staff is really kind; everyone is helpful, some more than others. Their food is good, but definitely not worth the price. Their portion sizes are also small so I

I want to start by saying thank you to the wonderful front desk staff who immediately got us a seat by the water as we were walk in and had no reservations. Also our server who was very thorough and attentive. The food was good tastes great but you a
Good sushi
We had dinner there. We had a sushi plate wich was nice and tasty. In my opinion you pay alot for the brand as usual. What was really akward, that every new guests were greeted by the whole crew by shouting out loud. It was really disturbing the conv

The service here was very quick, just keep in mind you will need to reserve before coming and it can be a decent sized waitlist. Overall the food was decent, I would recommend the king salmon. Prices are pretty high, however it's what you would expec

The Yellowtail Sashimi was amazing!! They make sure you stay hydrated. We didn't have an empty water glass once. The crashing ocean waves and view really add the perfect vibe.
I'm shocked at how poor the customer service is.
I called today at 5:15 and they told me that I need to call back between 10-5 and slammed the phone down. Being rude is simply unacceptable.
Best restaurant in Malibu!
Best restaurant in California! Food is insane the views are amazing. Staff is so nice! Drinks are simply awesome. It's a must place to eat!!
SUPER BEAUTIFUL VIEWS WITH FRESH SUSHI AND SEAFOOD
I went here and it was a beautiful dinner complete with my favorite sushi and fresh seafood. The views were absolutely amazing and it was a bit crowded, but that is always expected. I love coming here because it is particularly beautiful all year rou
So worth the money
The food was delicious. Even though it was a bit pricey totally worth it. Service was great and staff were so kind. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Great Private Dining. Awkward Ending.
We hosted a private event. Everything was great and we enjoyed the service and the food. Great view and a really good price for a private event. We had a slight situation at the end which kind of “left a bad taste in our mouth” with one of our s
Great Food; Service Disaster
We’ve been going to Nobu since the very first location opened in Manhattan 30 years ago. We’ve been to Nobu Malibu at least 10 times. When I reserved 30 days in advance, I informed the reservationist that we would be celebrating a birthday, gra

Nobu offers a consistent experience across the globe but the Malibu location is special. It's worth the trip. The ocean front setting is incredible and the energy is high -- even on a random Tuesday night when we were there most recently. It's fun
Excellent service and food.
Outdoor would be much better. The wine paired with the food was recommended by my waiter, which s fabulous.

People might say it's overrated but you can't deny it's the best sushi in the Los Angeles area. It's going to be impossible to order something that is not good here. All the food is top notch and presentation lives up to their high standards and gr

Experience the best
Expensive but half the cost is experiential, and 100% worth it. Craft cocktails with crashing waves and freshest seafood… no wonder it sells out. Miso Cod a MUST! Reservations are definitely not impossible. You just need to call 30 days out exactly

My experience here was pretty epic.
We came here as a group of 8 for my bachelor party. The waiter mentioned that this Nobu was Japanese/Peruvian. We ordered the omakase but some add ins for large groups. I've only eaten at the Nobu in Hong Kong which was also very memorable. This loca
You're paying for the atmosphere, not the food.
Malibu is beautiful, the spot on the beach is beautiful, the ambience of the restaurant is also very upscale and beautiful. The food was pretty bad, honestly. The spicy garlic edamame, which you usually can never go wrong with, were way too spicy and

Expectations
"Expectation is the root of all heartache" is a quote I've learned the hard way when it comes to trying restaurants like Nobu Malibu.... and in other areas of life but I'm not tryna trauma dump on here. The Carbones and the Peter Lugers of
Insanely Incredible
Not only is this place beautiful it is the hot spot to be the food is out of this world. Location is key! People watching is sooooo fun. Vibey, cool, a must stop! Fav place to be
Amazing views !!
Came for my birthday & the entire experience was amazing. All the staff members were so attentive & the food was delicious. Getting a reservation during daylight hours which has the best view of the ocean was difficult.
Connect with users posting reservations for Nobu Malibu
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Nobu Malibu. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Nobu Malibu at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Nobu Malibu page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $5.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $5.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Nobu Malibu to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $5 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Nobu Malibu!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
