    Food quality has significantly declined: the omakase menu was very disjointed and not well thought out. Too much sauce taking away from the ingredients. Nothing particularly well done but some items were marginally passable as decent sushi. People watching is fantastic but such is expected nowadays at Nobu. Bring back the focus on elevated dining!

    Great first experience at Nabu Malibu! Wish we could have gotten a patio seat, which would have made the value for money a little better, however otherwise the experience was great

    It has become a touristy spot. It was as if the kitchen knew not to have their A-team there. Hot dishes were subpar. Foodies should take a hard pass. If you are looking for elevated food in an amazing setting - you’ll find the latter.

    First off thank you NOBU for accommodating our requests and making our time special! The restaurant itself is beautiful, the views are great. Just know if you come here, don’t expect gas station sushi prices. The quality of all the dishes we ordered was great. My husband really enjoyed the salmon sashimi seasoned with truffle oil and salt. The black cod with misu had so much flavor. Most of the sushi and sashimi we ordered was so flavorful it did not need any soysauce as in other places. We ordered various dishes and we felt satisfied enough not to make a stop at McDonald’s. Also, the date cake was amazing!! In terms of service, our server and waiters were were friendly and attentive. I do recommend the drinks should have coasters as our cups had little puddles of water. But overall great experience!

    If you are vegan- get the artichoke salad (sauce is to DIE FOR) , cauliflower, avo crispy rice, mushroom salad (OMG). The yellowtail jalapeño is a must. Our server Laura was very accommodating and helpful navigating allergies and dietary restrictions. She provided us with great recommendations that were off menu and explained how she could modify to fit out needs. Super knowledgeable about the fish options as well. Mocktails were superb. 10/10 recommend nobu always.

    Our server and staff were great. However, Nadia the hostess was extremely cold, snobby, and rude. My husband and I had opening 12 noon reservations and arrived from our 3 hour road trip about 4 minutes early. I urgently had to relieve myself in the restroom and politely explained my position. Nadia rudely denied me access to the bathroom without expressing any form of sympathy. I was told “Well you’ve been holding it this long, you can hold it another four minutes!” Nadia’s negative energy ruined my entire experience. The 1st impression leaves a lasting impression and it was challenging for me to feel comfortable after this cold interaction. She should not be associated with such a lovely establishment.

    Noon - Tuesday visit. Hubby had the King Crab Tempura and Ribeye with truffle butter sauce. I had the Omakase tasting menu. (shrimp allergy so nothing was fried as they use the same fryer for everything) Food was exquisite, service courteous and helpful. Table outdoors with unobstructed ocean view. Can't wait to go back

    Our waitress was outstanding. She offered great advice about the menu. Everything we ordered was delicious. The waitress was fantastic in dealing with food allergies. She was engaging, funny, and professional. The restaurant has a beautiful view of the ocean. We were in from Nebraska to celebrate my wife’s birthday and seated next to Pierce Brosnan 007. Our wives did not remember we existed during the entire meal, but they loved the drinks and food. Would come back to Nobu in Malibu in a second. Nobu is excellent everywhere. Nobu in Malibu is exceptional.
