Food, service and environment were great! The time limit for the table is unnecessary as there were a lot of empty tables while we dined they were empty for our entire reservation. We were told over 5 times about the table time limit, Open Table when we made the resi, the texts confirming the resi, the host when we checked in downstairs, the host upstairs and again by the server. We spent a lot of money for a great dinner, being able to not watch the clock the entire time doesn’t seem like a lot to ask.

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.

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.

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.
