How to get a reservation at Nobu Malibu:

So it is very tough to get a reservation in the dining room – you have stay on top of the reservations calendar they only open reservations a month ahead.

However: pro tip – the bar has no reservations and they have dining tables outside at the bar – which are first come first serve.

Is going to Nobu Malibu worth it?

Yes! It is a celebrity hot spot: Travis Kelce and Christian McCaffrey (plus his girlfriend Olivia Culpo) were all just spotted there – so it can be a scene but the food, ocean views and trendy clientele do make the experience worth it!

You most likely will have a celebrity sighting if you go there – the place is a hot bed for celebrities, famous athletes, influencers and more. I personally saw Adam Sandler there.

Nobu Malibu isn’t an everyday type of restaurant but it’s worth it for a fun night out and experience!

What to order at Nobu Malibu?

The fish and rice melt in your mouth and the drinks are perfectly made (and cool you off on a hot day!).

To start try yellowtail topped with jalapeño sashimi and a signature cocktail! Follow with the perfect unagi and octopus nigiri and a spicy albacore tuna roll. I would also recommend the snapper nigiri, the short rip tacos and the spicy tuna on rice cakes.

Always times for a cocktail!

My latest obsession: the Fujifilm Instax.  Such a fun way to document a trip.  (Pro tip: it doesn’t come with film, so make sure you purchase that too!)

Now a quick walk on the beach.  There is actually beach access from the restaurant, so if you feel like a swim before or after your meal — bring your suit and a towel! It’s a great way to end the Nobu experience.

That’s a wrap on Nobu Malibu — I certainly hope to go there again, next time I’m in LA.
