You would think that the Malibu outpost of one of the world's hottest sushi conglomerates would be more than this one-room sushi bar and covered patio In a city that's surprisingly devoid of waterfront eateries, Nobu proves the exception in a masterful custom-built dining perch that stretches out over the Pacific Ocean and offers the finest oceanfront sushi address in California. Moving from its longtime home at the Malibu Country Mart, the new Nobu offers a view literally from every seat including a near outdoor lounge and stylish bar open for daily happy hour. Inside, floor-to-ceiling panels of glass compliment lofty ceiling and teak that yield to light and views that live-up to all the hype.
The Food
Dishes like Toro tartar with caviar and Kobe tataki sashimi offer signature dishes that keep guests coming on an almost ritualistic basis. Most outposts of the restaurants feature the same Miso black cod and Sea Bass that caters to squeamish eaters still apprehensive about raw fish. Sushi lovers should indulge in the various selections of albacore, salmon and Spanish Mackerel sashimi cut to perfection. Dessert is best enjoyed at one of the area’s ice cream parlors instead of the Mochi or plum dessert on hand, as long as the paparazzi isn’t out front awaiting your exit.
Last Word
Nobu debuts new, masterful custom-built dining scene that stretches out over the Pacific Ocean and offers the most glamorous oceanfront sushi address in Southern California.
