on Yahoo Mar 23, 2009I love this place, especially the spicy seafood soup. Yes, it's very pricey, but you're in Malibu. Everything is. We will always go back! (more)

on Citysearch Feb 24, 2009I can totally understand why people go there and have an average experience. Their regular sushi looked totally run-of-the-mill. We sat at the bar (which looked like it seats about 15 people total, though we were on... (more)

on Yahoo Nov 30, 2008Nobu Malibu is my favorite restaurant ever! It is definately the greatest restaurant in town, if not it is the best sushi restaurant. The food is absolutely delicious. I have been eating at Nobu for years and the food... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 29, 2008If you're a sushi novice, pick somewhere else to dine like Katsu-ya or some other Hollywood smash and grab fish place. But if you're into wild delicious flavors, high-quality product, and attentive service try Nobu... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 10, 2008It's frustrating to read the reviews on here with people comparing Nobu to other sushi restaurants, because the experience is not meant to be like other sushi restaurants. If you are looking for a standard sushi... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 02, 2008You know i'm a local here in Malibu and every so often I have to remind myself of why I dont bother going here. Service? Really quite lousy. Food? Definitely lousy. Decor? A joke. You have to wonder why this... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 07, 2008I love sushi. However, at Nobu's, the servings are small and overpriced. Yes, it is fresh and there are different tastes but if you are celebrity struck, then this is the restaurant to go to see and be seen. You are... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 27, 2008Fresh sushi is always guaranteed at Nobu. Atmosphere was very relaxing and clean. A bit pricey but would definately recommend for such quality sushi. Staff very friendly. (more)

on Citysearch Mar 09, 2008I've been to all of the incarnations of Nobu in Malibu over the years. Delicious, fresh and deceivingly complex rolls make this a Japanese restaurant you don't want to miss. A definite standout in the small... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 10, 2008Another reviewer's statement to the contrary, Nobu IS the best food in Malibu, maybe the best on PCH! The sushi is good, but perhaps better does exist; however nothing tops their Tiradito, which is fluke levitating... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 22, 2008I was expecting a lot more when I went to Nobu. Being a sushi lover though, I will eat almost anything, and would much rather pay less. Sushi is sushi, and I felt as if the items were a tad overpriced, and the service was not... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 15, 2008The food is absolutely delicious and served in a timely fashion. However, the staff is NOT as welcoming as you'd expect such a beautiful place to have. The prices, though high, are not unreasonable considering the... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 27, 2007Okay,Okay, I'll admit that when myself, hubby and our two kids headed to Nobu in Malibu , it wasn't for the the Sushi, but rather what "star" we might see. We went down on a beautiful summer night ( Saturday ) a couple... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 29, 2007This place is very overrated, no stars, no ambiance, I felt over dressed. I've had sushi that was better or definately comparable for MUCH less. For $135 just for myself including tax and tip I expected to be... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 29, 2007Nobu Malibu is the exact same as Nobu anywhere else, except smaller. I have eaten at almost every Nobu location and wish they would update the menu a little more often. That said, there are some great classics that are... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 24, 2007Nobu is a state of mind! Everyone says it is the place to be so we go...........we want to be seen, it is not about the food, there are a zillion great sushi places in LA. What shocks me most is the sense of importance of this... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 26, 2007It is no secret that nobu is good, but other sushi places are just as good. If you want simple good sushi with very high quality fish, this is the place. But, if you want more exiting and innovative sushi, you may be left... (more)

on Yahoo May 17, 2007Great sushi, high price: The food is great, as is the celebrity sightings (Dean Cain, Jane Seymour, Sir Anthony Hopkins...). But the prices are way up there. $100 for dinner for 2 is common.... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 12, 2007Nobu always has good food and the best sushi but the waitress who was serving us was a little rude and had some attitude. And when STING walked in and sat right next to us, our waitress basically ignored us for the rest of... (more)

on Yahoo Aug 22, 2006Good Sushi, but not worth the price: If you're looking for great sushi, Nobu would have it. It's fresh.. and the place is famous. But, it's way expensive for what you get. The service is above average, but not... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 20, 2006Nobu offers fresh sashimi, innovative cooked items and great desserts. Also a nice place to take tourists for the glance at an occasional celebrity. For a die-hard sushi fan though, there are places that offer... (more)

on Judys Book Apr 08, 2006Nobu has the most incredible Sushi you can buy. However, it is also some of the most expensive sushi you can buy. But, if you have the money this is the definitely the place to go. Every single item on the menu is... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 25, 2006This place was quite disappointing. First off, this place can't be defined as romantic; its crowded, loud, and doesn't even have a view. Secondly, service was marginal....sure the waiter knew what was on the menu... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 13, 2006I live in Malibu, and only go to Nobu when I don't feel like going far from home for dinner. The food is not much better than a take out sushi restraunt. The service is a bit less than mediocre, it's crowded (as are all... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 19, 2005Nobue is a great local Malibu sushi restaurant. The food is always good and I highly recommend the Taradito and Black Cod with Miso which melts in your mouth. Service is good and the people watching is great. If you like... (more)
