Food was fabulous, service and atmosphere was poor. We were sat 30 minutes after our reservation, didn't get our first drink for 20 more minutes after that (and they had made clear we would have the table for a set amount of time when we made the reservation). The bar area we had to wait in was overcrowded and we had to stand in the corner to allow a small walkway for the staff to get though and didn't have a chance to get drinks while we waited because it was so crowded. We had a lovely table overlooking the water and sunset but were bumped into by various people squeezing past us to take photos and videos of the sunset. We booked this for our 6 year anniversary and were disappointed overall.

Had a great meal and great service, ... really nice people, super cool place with good vibes and cool folks. Food was very good, was it amazing, no ... but happy we went, really fun night, just the good was very, very good .... not as amazing as we expected. We have been to several Nobu's and this was just very good on the food size ... didn't blow us away. We'd still go back, had a great evening ... 5 for most everything, 4 on the food. Great night.

The black cod was exceptionally delectable, and my mother, who accompanied me, thoroughly enjoyed the apple pie.

The food was delicious Customer service was horrible no accommodations for it being a special day a birthday I couldn't get a ocean view and that was the whole reason my reservation was so early to enjoy it and they did not wanna let me sit and enjoy the ocean view made me wait another 45 minutes for a couch I would rate customer service one star but the food was 10 out of 10

Very disappointing. Service was awful. Had to call our waiter over every time we needed something. Was so loud outside on the patio, we couldn't hear each other. Couldn't even get our water filled without begging. Food was mediocre at best.

Hostess was rude, did not try and accommodate a seating request - even with our reservations. She was very rude when I asked to switch, food service felt very rushed making it not enjoyable

Noting to write home about. Pricey and the food is just mediocreZ . Disappointing. It's more of a trendy name then great food
Rick
Great food and service! Beautiful view of the ocean and sunset.... Ambience was perfect! Great place to celebrate a special event.

Amazing experience and great food. Our waiter Dakota was extremely polite and helpful with food recommendations. The ocean view was perfect, 100% worth it.
Didn't get a birthday dessert after they told me I would since I came for my birthday, and didn't accommodate outdoor seating on the deck either. Even though there were tables available. Usually love coming here but wasn't a great start to my birthday - especially with my mom visiting.

Nobu Malibu never disappoints. The food is always exceptional, the service is consistently welcoming, and you can’t beat the oceanfront views — it’s one of the most iconic dining experiences in Malibu. I often bring real estate clients and friends here because it perfectly reflects the luxury coastal lifestyle people fall in love with. Whether it’s a relaxed lunch or a client dinner, the atmosphere and attention to detail make every visit memorable. Definitely one of my Malibu favorites.

Customer Service was not good and the waiter was very dry and not engaging what so ever. With the price that you are paying the service should have been very good but unfortunately was not

I am deeply disappointed about Chefs Omakase It took almost 2 hours to get the first 3 orders The West Hollywood location was far more efficient than Malibu

Food quality wasn't good, the vibes and service was average for a high end restaurant. Also the order how they served the food was wrong.
