Situated on the beach right off the PCH, a beautiful space for its well-heeled clientele and pretty food. Signature dishes are Yellowtail Sashimi with Jalapeno , Black Cod with Miso . [Eater 38 Member] Read more

Make sure to book a table on the terrance, and enjoy the spectacular sunset view ! #Breathtaking

AmateurConcierge

This is probably what a Nobu is supposed to feel like: popping, a beautiful setting and their crowd pleasing Japanese dishes . Snow crab tempura is the sleeper...pop corn shrimp and truffle scallop

Dress for the Date

Absolutely exquisite cuisine that features Nobu Matsuhisa's signature dishes. The Salmon Sushi and Vegetarian Mini Tacos are spectacular. *The bar also offers full menu dining on a first serve basis.

House special sushi .. lobster mini tacos , beef steak .. snow crab with creamy chili sauce .. and rock shrimp tempura ... absolutely go for chocolate sufflet for a finish dessert

Breathtaking view .. bluefin and yellowtail jalapeño were great as usual .. the rest of he dishes were disappointing (tacos and new style and the lobster ceviche )..

Robert Freeman

Great people watching and some celebrity sightings. Make sure to book a reservation in advance. But, if you don't, the bar is open seating as well as some patio seating just outside the front door.

Book in advance .. Spectacular and sensational ocean view .. Recommended at sunset ..

Omar Leyano

Best sushi with no doubt, and this location wins the best view in Malibu. Try to find table outside and enjoy the sun with the best ocean view .

Dress for the Date

Huge fan of the mouth watering Rock Shrimp . The views are breathtaking, be sure make time to have a drink in the bar before getting seated. The outside patio is an impressive dining experience.

Nikhita Mahtani

Fantastic view , and original dishes mixed with Nobu classics. I love the scallop truffle chips , spicy tuna crispy rice , sautéed lobster and lobster tacos !

Taylan Kagba

You might not see an actual celebrity, but surely see people who look like they could be a celebrity... black cod with miso ..the ceviche , Nobu-style yellowtail sashimi with jalapeno .. Amazing view ...

ブルーノ

Order a spicy açai martini and try as much food as you can from the mouth watering menu (Albacore ! Tuna mini tacos ! Yum!). This is the place to see and be seen in the 'Bu. Reservation is a must.

Jason Quarisa

Great experience! Stunning views and setting. Must book well in advance and would suggest for lunch or sunset . Had the tasting menu and would recommend. Had 10+ dishes from classic & new menu.

Maria Hartstein

Wow by far the best sushi I've ever had! Every dish was authentic and tasted so fresh. Cocktails were really good. It's definitely worth the expensive price, beautiful views and delicious food!

Julia Samuels

Beautiful place, you can walk onto the beach if you take a short walk. It has amazing appetizers for your whole meal and my favorite is the kaya toast which is coconut custard on toast with a dip ????????

Ghaida

Great location and spectacular view ????. Try the tuna sashimi tacos , lobster tacos , black cod , spicy tuna maki , and the shiitake salad .

Jean Marie

To get one of the prime tables against the railing, you have to make reservations months ahead of time. Also, beware of jerks who sit for hours on the outside tables & only order a roll between them.

The waiter will tell you that you need to wait for 2 hrs, don’t be afraid. You will maximum wait for 1 hr. IT IS WORTH IT. California and shrimps maki ????????

Sean Nichols

When going with a date, be sure to ask for the two person booth seat when you make your reservations . Looks out at the ocean and is much better than the small two person tables in the back.

VEEV Spirits

Sometimes you just need to enjoy the breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean. And when you get that view you definitely need a delicious cocktail in hand, like the Spicy Acai Martini at Nobu Malibu

Time Out Los Angeles

So close to the beach , you can see footprints in the sand from your table. Eat this: mini rib-eye or uni tacos , hamachi kama if it’s on the menu and tiridito, thin slices of whitefish with chili dots. Read more

Nobu Malibu is one of the few restaurants with an ocean view—and damn, what a view . The long and low modern building stares right out over the ocean, the beach down below.

Chinemenma Yoruk

Creative delicious sushi dishes with great waiters who explain the dishes! Beautiful experience- get there early to ensure you can get it ;)

Kevin T

The black miso cod and Chilean sea bass are amazing here!! Crispy okra and rock shrimp tempura were also quite good.

Noura Aleidan

I’ve tried so many Japanese restaurants around the world ,found nothing half gd as the ones we have in Saudi and Dubai anyways ,try their sea bass

İrem Kurunç

Try okra for starter, delicious! Rocky shrimp tempura with creamy spicy sauce was also one of the bests that i've ever had.

Michael Spinelli

The hype is spot on. Save up for a splurge. Truly a gem of fresh, artfully prepared, imaginative (and also traditional) sushi dishes. Fantastic staff .

Heidi B

One of the best restaurants I have been to great service delicious food.. If your going there choose the outdoor tables to enjoy the sunset its spectacular ????

I A

Everything is ⭐️. But peppers , okra chips , spicy tuna rolls , date cake super nice.. valet guys are super kind too ????????

Kelley L.

Great sushi , but expensive (duh). Garnish is a few bucks more per piece. Views are nice. I would call this a bucket list experience.

M W

Still one of the best Nobu outposts anywhere! Black miso cod , lobster mini-tacos, artichoke salad ...the toro tartare with caviar will make you cry! Efficient service, low-key room. Absolutely superb.

Mark Daniel

Honestly the best thing is the view and the vibe. The food is great but not incredible.

Bibi RM

Awesome but you have to go early because is full all the day. Enjoy tiradito. Everyone so friendly !!! Amazing

Nikki Foster

Great view , food, drinks, ambiance, and service. Reservations are hard to come by but worth the wait. Everything is divine there!

Mike Domini

Try the "Rock Shrimp Tempura , With ponzu or creamy spicy sauce", and Beef Toban Yaki (picture), didn't like the Jalapeño on the Yellowtail

Ekaterina Kudelkina

Amazing place just at the ocean coast. Nice view . Open air tables to sit. Free wifi . Not cheap restaurant at all.

Erika Siqueira de Castro Neves

OMG! Amazing! Make reservation in advance! Ask to sit in the patio ! And don't even try to skip the scallops with black truffle ! Perfect!

Andrew Sheppard

Amazing atmosphere, right on the ocean. You can't go wrong with anything here. The mushroom salad was amazing and the service was quick.

David M.

Expensive, but worth every penny. Beautiful view , out of the world sushi , try the brunch - the French toast is amazing!

Jordan Fine

Make a reservation . Great views and sushi . The New style sashimi is a must. The Nobu sidecar is amazing.

This Cuba Gooding Jr.'s favorite spot it seems, as he's often seen having some wine at the bar . It's a great spot for celebrity sighting!
