    The food is great. Nice location nice restaurant good service. The portions are really small for the price. Expensive and we spent 400.00 and we barely ate. Tacos are 1 inch in size for 10-15.00! Sliders are small like 1 inch of Meat and very expensive. Ca roll 4 pieces 20.00. Outrageous nice place but don’t go to eat go their to starve!

    The ever-changing wait staff was inattentive (to say the least) and did nothing to compensate for the fishy tasting cod we didn’t like.

    Nobu's never disappoints. Absolutely delicious food and outstanding service. It's pricey but well worth it. We usually only go for birthdays and other special occasions. We were a party of 6 with one person having a gluten and shrimp allergy and although the menu isn't marked with GF, or GS, the staff is always excellent on guiding to what is GF and which dishes can be made GF. Each time they came to the table with another dish, they always said if it was free from shrimp and gluten and made a point of saying which dishes were not GF. Absolutely one of our favorite places for the last 25 years or so, both the Malibu and Newport locations, and it still is.

    Food is amazing but we couldn’t see the menu there is no lighting. The food is amazing and consistent that’s never an issue it just is dead in there but then still hard to get a reservation? And the menu type is so small we asked for another candle to try to see they said no. I could barely see my date.

    Had a horrible experience and Nobu Malibu, so I went here ready to criticize everything, and to my surprise, I had a LOVELY time. Wonderful food, service, ambience, everything. Highly recommend for date night. Beware, families do bring their screaming babies here, but other than that, loved the place.

    Came here to surprise my boyfriend for his bday! Definitely a good experience, the food and service were amazing. Consider how full you’ll be with what you order though, it might not be enough.

    I love dining at Nobu! always such a good experience when I go there. The drinks were delicious, the servers were amazing! I just didn’t appreciate the fact that the person who greeted me kept mentioning that I am only allotted my table for a certain amount of time. My server could’ve given us a gentle reminder. I don’t need to be prompted 2/3 times.
