Nobu Los Angeles

Went to Nobu expecting delicate, melt-in-your-mouth fish. Got fish so fishy it could’ve told me its life story. I swear it winked at me. Sent it back before it swam off my plate. At least the miso soup didn’t try to make eye contact. For the money they charged they need to get it together

It was my first time here and the vibe was great! The restaurant was quite busy, so I definitely recommend booking in advance. The food was absolutely delicious — seriously mouthwatering! But the prices are on the higher side, so be prepared for that. Highly Recommended Dishes: • Yellowtail Jalapeño (must-try!) • Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna • Bluefin Toro Sashimi • Lobster Tempura Truffle Amazu – the portion is huge! The dishes came out one by one, and the wait between each course was a bit too long. But overall, the staff were super friendly and provided great service.

I had a fantastic time at Nobu. It was my first time here and it was very memorable. Even waiting outside and finally being allowed to go inside was really cool lol (they had a really big door). The food was amazing and very fresh. You cant miss with the sushi. I also got some drinks for us. Their cocktails were nice and they have a Japanese beer called Hakone Kohaku that you cannot find anywhere else in the states. I believe its imported specifically for Nobu. Ive looked online and the only way to get some is to have it be shipped from Japan directly to your door step. It was an amazing beer and I look forward to coming back in the future!

Everything about Nobu LA is just perfect. Staff is amazing all around - servers are so attentive and wonderful, sushi chefs are fun and have a great time throughout your meal. We ate and drank so much I don't know if I can remember it all but here are the highlights - Espresso Martini - best I've ever had Lychee Martini - slightly sweet, tart, and so good Nobu house tequila - we tried both available, a "clear" and a "dark". Both are rich, smooth, and potent Nobu house sake - some of the best in town Now for the sushi and food! Wagyu skewers - absolutely outstanding, melt in your mouth delishousness Wagyu Shabu Shabu - I haven't enjoyed shabu until now Toro nigiri - insane Salmon nigiri - so buttery Yellowtail nigiri - firm, light, delicious Yellowtail Jalapeno - that sauce and jalapeno kick are amazing Toro caviar - simply WOW Caviar taco - incredible scallion tuna cut roll - delectable salmon cut roll - sublime lamb chops - wonderful crab taco - amazing salmon avocado hand roll - one of the best tuna hand roll - simply the best Black sesame cream puff - who does it like this?? Nobody!! Chef Nobu san - THANK YOU

The place is nice, service is excellent, food is great. Omakase menu set was surprising. Amazing sake bottle worth tasting if you can spend some extra $$$.

Food was what I expected. Nothing mindblowing. Service could be a lot better. The server was friendly but not very attentive. Very busy for the price I'm paying. We had to pay for the birthday Dessert that they said they will provide for free. Spent about $400usd for not the best experience. The yellowtail tuna was nice, the caviar was good. The black miso cod was nice. The lobster was not worth it, over cooked. The waygu tacos was over cooked. I will not be back again, Nobu used to be better, they need to go back to the drawing board and get their menu in order. The fame definitely brought down their standards

Such a wonderful place. At first I was supposed to going there, because I was reading the reviews and so many people said it's extremely expensive, and that portion sizes for small. But me and my wife bit the bullet, decided we were going to do it after all. We went there, had the car parked by the valet for $17 for the day. We only had a slot of 1 hour and a half for our dinner, but we ended up being there for nearly 3 hours. Our waiter, "T", was absolutely phenomenal. He has Okinawan lineage. His father is in Osaka. We chatted about Japan each time he came by our table. It was our anniversary, and they treated us like royalty in here. The food was amazing. And the food was worth every dollar spent. Be sure to park on the road and walk down to their, or use their valet service.

Daddy daughter date night to Nobu LA was lots of fun and absolutely delicious, we let the host developed a tasting menu and can say it’s the 1st time we’ve been so full from a fine dining restaurant. Highly recommend the Miso Cod and pan seared Panko crumbed Scallops and Tacos. A little expensive but highly recommended and well worth the experience.

Went to Nobu in LA for Valentine's Day and they definitely delivered. The vibe was perfect for the occasion--boujee but still laid back enough to enjoy yourself. The food? Straight fire. The New Style Sashimi was buttery and flavorful, the Nobu Tacos were next level, and of course, the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice hit like it always does--crispy, spicy, and perfect. Everything we ordered was bomb, and the service was just as good. Definitely worth the splurge for a special night out. Nobu never misses!

Have been here for over 2 years now and regret that I had never been to any Nobu before. My wife and I decided the best time to try it was on Valentines for a special dinner together. Service: We had a reservation right at opening at 6pm, and while there was a line to get in, we were attended to very quickly and seated immediately. The service was absolutely amazing, our server and all the servers were very attentive and so knowledgeable. This is such a positive because the menu can be daunting if you have never been there before. The overall ambiance of the restaurant was also really nice. Drinks: It being Valentine's Day, there were Valentine's Day special drinks available. They had a raspberry take on a French 75 which was so amazing, beautifully balanced and not too sweet. My second drink was a lemon drop martini which was also perfectly balanced. For coffee lovers out there, had a nice espresso at the end of the meal (the food coma was hitting at this point), and they also have aperitifs and after meal drinks available. Food: Most of our meal was really great. You can either go a la carte (which we did) or you can do a tasting menu, which is not your traditional tasting menu. You can curate your own specific tasting menu based on your own taste, and the servers will help curate for you, which seems like an awesome idea if you are feeling that. We opted for a la carte, and our experience was as follows: Yellowtail jalapeño: really tasty, acidic, at times a little too acidic but overall delicious. Salmon new style: my god delicious bite of sashimi, would say this is a must try. Toro tartare with caviar: meh. If feel like the toro was delicious, overpowered by the wasabi, and lacked a crush factor to eat it with. Rock shrimp tempura: another absolutely delicious bite, perfectly balanced crunchy spicy shrimp Nobu taco: toro was really delicious and would eat again. The wagyu taco was out of this world and might have been one of the best bites we had. Truffle panko Scallops: My wife is a Stan for scallops, however i do have to say this was one of the best I've ever had, very sweet crunchy and delicious bite and the mushrooms added a great umami flavor Black cod Miso: yes. You should absolutely try this. Whether you like cod/fish or not, very sweet delicious part of our meal. I wish we had ended with this. Wagyu pot stickers: Valentine's Day special. Unfortunately we ended the savory portion of the meal with this. The whole point of wagyu is that it's delicious and melts in your mouth. This was absolutely a waste of money. Skip it and run away. Bread pudding: it's made with croissants. I mean it's everything I did not know I wanted in a dessert. Overall it was a really good experience with maybe 2 skippable dishes. Would consider coming again for a special night out

Tyler was fabulous on Valentines! Pros: Drinks are delicious and strong amazing cocktails. Loved the ambience and its atmosphere. It's dark and adorable smaller location. Food was yummy and salmon tartar was delicious and fresh. The ribeye was also wonderful! Cons: valet service was extremely busy. The line builds up far back it's very tight and a busy street. It's $15 to valet just be ready to arrive early in case the line is long. Food cons extremely small portions be ready to order enough. We looked at photos online and portions seemed larger. We placed are dinner order and had 30 min until last call. We had a reservation at 10:30pm last call is at 11 pm. Overall 5 stars not a place for large parties it's tight. Defiantly smaller party or date night.

Amazing! Went here for my birthday dinner and I can't say enough! The quality, the sushi, sashimi and everything in between was spectacular! My favorites of the night were the Bluefin Tuna Dry Miso Sashimi and the rock shrimp spicy creamy! I can't wait to go back!

Nobu has been on my bucket list for a while and I'm glad I got to try it in LA. The fish was incredibly fresh. My favorite and a popular fan favorite is the yellowtail jalapeño. It lives up to the hype due to the sauce and spiciness of the jalapeño. I would recommend getting the toro scallion in a cut roll rather than hand roll. The spicy baked snow crab was surprisingly good as I was expecting something more simple but all the flavors blended in very well. The staff was very knowledgeable about the menu. The place is very dimly light and a bit loud. They even surprised us with a "happy anniversary" ice cream and candle! Overall, an amazing vibe with great food!

Haven't eaten there in years. Always remember that the food was very good. However, now there are so many great Omakase and Japanese cuisines in Los Angeles that It's hard for me to give a solid review. Been to the one in Malibu, which is beautiful, best view and the food is very good. Ridiculously expensive though. Don't get me wrong. I'm a fan of Nobu, Just not the one I used to be.

Food: 4/5 Nobu definitely lives up to its fame with outstanding dishes from fresh fish, to sushi, to veggies. Everything from the texture to the presentation was everything you'd expect! Now is this all worth the price of a 2 star Michelin restaurant... to each their own. Service: 5/5 Impeccably friendly and very on top of things. The dishes were served timely and in a satisfying order to boot. Environment: This is where the restaurant truly shines! Incredibly clean, vibey, and plenty of seating. Lots of room to celebrate!

I had a fantastic time at Nobu; although the lighting was a bit dark from where we were seated, Lauren was super helpful in helping us choose our a la carte items for our party of 6. The wagyu tacos, rock shrimp and the yellowtail wasabi was one of our favorites! Drinks were really tasty too and everyone was really accommodating to help us take our group photos. Ouch for charging for water though. If you know what you like, go for a la carte instead of the chef's omakase. The fusion dishes were definitely the star of the night!

Definitely up to the hype! Rank of my favorites: 1. Yellowtail jalapeño 2. Crispy rice tuna 3. Assorted nigiri 4. Shishito peppers (not pictured) 5. Creamy spicy shrimp 6. Cauliflower My bf and I both wish the shrimp had a little less sauce on it as it was too mayo-y. Our server told us to mix it with the lettuce / ponzu underneath and it might have made it worse. BUT we both finished it because it was still great! The cauliflower was a little basic, wish there was more jalepeno sauce on it. Food comes out quickly which was A+!

Food here is always delicious. I took my mom here for her birthday dinner and she had a great experience. - Toban Yaki Steak Flambe: 10/10 - Tender, seasoned perfectly and the most favorited dish of the night. - Black Cod Miso: 9/10 - It usually always hits the spot, but this time, the dish was too sweet. By the 5th bite, the sweetness made the dish less and less appetizing. - Glacier 51 Chilean Sea Bass Dry Miso: 8.5/10 - Edamame: Great appetizer to start off the meal - Shojin Assorted Tempura: 9/10 - Batter was good and fried perfectly. - Warm Mushroom Salad: 7.5/10 - Decent but nothing special - Bread pudding: 7.5/10 - Good but slightly sweeter than preferred - Lychee and Elderflower Martini: 8/10 - Light and refreshing A few downsides: - Why is water charged per bottle? - We ordered the Vegetable Toban Yaki but didn't realize until after we left that they actually swapped it with the warm mushroom salad. - They weren't as accommodating when we asked for our small toothpick sign to be placed on the dessert. They did a birthday message out of some kind of chocolate syrup with a candle on the side, which is fine. - Valet takes longer than expected. There was a line of people waiting for their cars.

My first time at Nobu and hopefully not my last!! My date and I came here for dinner without a reservation, and luckily got seated right away when they opened. We sat pretty close to the sushi bar where you could see the sushi chefs. Gorgeous space with dim lighting. We ordered yellowtail jalapeno, hirame oysters tiradito style, black cod miso, prime ribeye crispy onion, and a few sushi pcs (golden eye snapper, salmon, bluefin toro) and cut rolls (spicy tuna and california). For drinks, I had the lychee passion & pineapple drink. Then later a kimono yuzu soda drink. Both are non-alcoholic since I was on antibiotics, so these were great mixed concoctions for the time being. It was my first time having raw oysters, and I fell in love with how this was served. The sauce was refreshing and the oysters were small enough where it wasn't intimidating. The texture tasted rich and creamy. I'd say this was my favorite dish out of all of them. I could probably have dozens more! All of the sashimi and sushi items were fresh and amazing. I could taste the superior quality of it! The ribeye in the tangy sauce with crispy onions had a nice balance of texture. Lastly we had the bread pudding for dessert, which I read was a must-have and the consensus is that it was damn good! Love the warm bread pudding with the scoop of ice cream.

Everything about Nobu LA is just perfect. Staff is amazing all around - servers are so attentive and wonderful, sushi chefs are fun and have a great time throughout your meal. We ate and drank so much I don't know if I can remember it all but here are the highlights - Espresso Martini - best I've ever had Lychee Martini - slightly sweet, tart, and so good Nobu house tequila - we tried both available, a "clear" and a "dark".

If you ever get a chance to visit Nobu, you absolutely must! This visit was my first time and my boyfriend booked it easily on Opentable. Parking is scarce on La Cienega, so valet is the best option, which is around $17. VIP options available. We were seated immediately at a booth in the main dining room, adjacent to the sushi bar which is the coolest view! Our waitress was very polite, cordial and serious about her job but did great. Since it was the first time for both of us, she explained how Nobu is a fusion restaurant- Japanese & Peruvian. The ordering process is to inform the server what you like, and they bring it out. That was the only confusing piece since everything we ordered was straight off the menu! Which is fine, right?! Right. We started with hot sake and iced tea for me: first up was the Tuna Taraki which is AMAZING. Couldn't get enough! We went through the salmon avocado sushi, ribs, lobster ceviche, and Beef Wagyu with mushroom. It's hard to decide what was the best out of our tapas style dinner, but the Tuna and Beef are memorable and worth ordering again. Most so, the desserts! Don't forget those! The bread pudding is covered in strawberries for a fresh, cool sensation over the warm bread. The shaved coconut ice with mango syrup on a lychee base will bring us back this summer. It's addictive and absolute heaven! It's stacked high but it's not enough! It's completely worth it. Nobu, we'll be back!

My boyfriend took me here for our anniversary and it was such a romantic and beautiful experience! The salmon tiradito was unique to me and had a little spice to it. I LOVED the oysters and they were kind enough to accommodate us wanting 4 oysters despite the menu offering 3. All the oysters came with different sauce so that was interesting to try. We also got a couple pieces of nigiri and I really enjoyed the red snapper! The miso cod was one of my favorites and is definitely hyped for good reason. It melted in my mouth and I liked how the sauce came on the side.

This was my first time going to Nobu without a reservation. I made sure to show up as soon as they opened to snag a table for 8 people. The ambiance was romantic and it was beautiful inside. Let's talk about the food. The yellowtail jalapeño was sliced incredibly thin which is a positive for soaking up the sauce but for for a dish that's almost 25 dollar you would expect there to be more than 6 thin slices of yellowtail. The uni pasta was a bit over cooked but the uni flavor was definitely there unlike other uni pastas I've had. The spicy tuna crispy rice was not what I was expecting but the rice was fried to perfection. Everything was cooked well but the flavors were a bit lacking. The popcorn shrimp is definitely a crowd favorite since we ordered two. I would say it's the best thing we had. I can't say that this is the best sushi or Japanese fusion I've had but it's definitely still good quality and as for the price it's pretty steep but I would like to emphasize that you are paying for amazing service and an beautiful interior ambiance. In addition, Nobu has given me the best service I have ever received. They were extremely attentive, answered all our questions, and gave amazing recommendation.

First time at Nobu over the weekend. Food was delicious!!!! We had a party of 11 people and none of us had eaten at Nobu before. The server who was helping us that evening did a great job of guiding us on what to get so we could experience all of their specialties while avoiding items we really didn't want. They pretty much customized our experience. Super friendly and nice too. Not once did I ever have to request a refill for my water as someone was always on top of it constantly refilling glasses. Maybe someday when I start making a s ton more money than I'm making now, I'll go back. But if you're ballin' you should definitely check out Nobu!

First time, no reservations we walked in we were able to get a table for 2. This place is alright. I believe this place is overhyped. We ordered the summer dragon drink which was good and the flor de Jamaica which was also good. We ordered the miso soup, spicy tuna cut roll. We had the shrimp and lobster hot dish was alright and the lobster tempura truffle which was also alright. Considering how trendy and pricey high end this place is known for the bathroom are filthy DIRTY toilet paper on the floor the trash can over load! I was shocked to see how filthy the women's bathroom was. Absolutely a huge turn off. I'm giving this place 2 star for the ocean view and the cocktail's Nobu you can do way better!

Parking- we found street parking fairly easy but they also offer valet! Bar area was so clutch for ordering drinks as we waited for our entire party to arrive. Super well lit restaurant which is super refreshing in LA, we like seeing our friends and food during dinner and so over dimly lit places where you can't see anything. Drinks took a while and service isn't really attentive because we kept looking for our server to re-order things and he kept disappearing but with a bigger group, it's fine and typical LA. Food was good but they put everything we ordered on a big platter so very hard to share things and know who ordered what lol

I was excited to try the Nobu in LA. Although it wasn't an ocean view like the one in Malibu the ambiance was still very nice! The black cod was my absolute favorite and I definitely recommend! You also can't go wrong with any of the sushi or sashimi options. The crispy rice was also really good and a fun starter option. Service was very nice and I was celebrating my birthday so the restaurant reached out beforehand to get my name and when we ordered dessert they made sure that my name was written on the plate of dessert! It was very nice!

Ambiance & customer service was great. Food was so overrated for the price. A $400 dinner for two people was not worth it here. Definitely just a hype.

My FAVORITE Japanese restaurant of all time. Every time I dine at Nobu, I am amazed again and again. First of all, the ambiance is very upscale and intimate, making it perfect for a date or small gathering. I have come on dates, by myself, with a friend, and with a small group. Spectacular choice every time. The service is always A1 and I have zero complaints. Now, let's get to the FOOD! I always start with the shrimp tempura and wagyu tacos. The tempura is always fresh and perfectly fried (light). The wagyu tacos remain my FAVORITE item on the menu, a complete party in your mouth! If I could only eat one taco the rest of my life, it would be the wagyu taco at Nobu. For my entree, I go with the amazing yellowtail sushi (perfect every time) as well as the Wagyu flambe, which is always lit aflame table-side for a jaw-dropping presentation. I rate the food 10/10, and will definitely be back soon!

Enjoyed the experience here for the most part, it was my cousins birthday and he's wanted to dine here for a while so we made a reservation before he flew in. When we arrived it took quite a while to get the attention of a host or server and once we did it we were seated but it took around 5-10 minutes before we were greeted. I will say the waitress serving us was really great and we all had quite the conversation and she helped us get everything ordered and our dishes arrived relatively quickly, they also threw in the desert for my cousin which was nice of them. The sushi itself was great but I'm particularly a fan of the creamy spicy crab. Cool spot, would come back.

Nobu never disappoints. Service is amazing, food is top tier and ambiance at this location is very cute and quaint. The tuna tartar is really good, I'm not a fan of tartar at other restaurants. Personally I think the wagyu gyoza was okay but everything else was yummy!

this place always delivers. Amazing food, nice ambiance, great service. We are definitely coming back.

Server was very helpful and nice. We were sitting by the kitchen, therefore a bit noisy. Server asked us a few questions that he used to put together with the chef's help... a tasting menu. We greatly appreciated this level of service. The food was all good, but not what I would consider memorable. They have a specialty drink... it was good but not memorable. Valet parking convenient. The restaurant is dark and if you are not young (like us) adjust your eyes to the darkness will take you a minute. Be careful. My husband fell-down on the two steps as we were leaving the restaurant. He hit his head on the black wall and even though he screamed when he hit the wall nobody from the restaurant came. I told the valet guy as I gave him my credit card and ticket that my husband had fell down therefore I left my stuff with him and I went back to the entrance to help him off the floor. While he was in the floor a couple who had been sitting next to us for the evening- walked past my husband without saying a word (this speaks more of the customers and not the restaurant). The valet guy didn't say a thing either. It was soooo strange. Although we did enjoyed our meal... the experience at the end left us feeling nobody here cares about human people Decor is elegant and the paintings are nice.

Food ,Service , Ambiance everything great! Our waiter Micheal or Miguel was our waiter forgive me! My husband & I loved the scene! Our waiter very nice and explained menu! Only thing we didn't get full with dishes. Definitely worth it for snacks size plates and such a beautiful setting. Ladies at front desk was so nice and greeted me with all smiles! I love it and it's worth everything! I'll be ready and I'll be back!! Best margarita drink !! Check pictures! Love it here Also it was our business anniversary and our anniversary, our waiter seen my message from reservations and accommodated us with an anniversary treat! Again love it here!! Great job!! Service is excellent!!

Came here for a birthday dinner with my partner and had a great experience! - Elegant and relaxed atmosphere; Service was great--attentive, knowledgeable, and gave great recommendations - Highlights: Black cod with miso: perfectly cooked and felt that it melts in your mouth; prime ribeye with crispy onion - Beautiful presentation and fresh ingredients in every dish

Always fantastic & expensive -- usually a real scene ... terrific restaurant to take out of towners as it is a seen and be seen place !

We had an incredible experience at Nobu. The vibe was fun and not too pretentious. All servers were knowledgeable and friendly. The cocktails were quick, pretty and delicious. The black cod had an amazing flavor and was cooked perfectly.

You really can't go wrong with Nobu. It is made for a high end vibe, a date or even taking family out. It's really a wonderful vibe. Food and service is both top notch. However the last time I was there our server did forget us a couple times BUT delicious time nonetheless.

I have never been in a restaurant with such attentive and knowledgeable staff. They course everything out perfectly, there is never an empty cup or dirty plate on the table. The food was great, but honestly not as amazing as the hype made it out to be. The must get are the off menu Bruleed salmon in a miso wasabi broth, it was so insanely good we ordered it twice at one dinner. My mouth is drooling just thinking about it and the classic yellow tail with jalapeno. The spicy rock shrimp are good and add some heavy to the meal, and is pretty large compared to everything else and the mushrooms in it are great. However, the miso black cod is where there was a let for me, it was almost flavorful, but super fishy and not in the good way and the miso added something but some parts were truly slimy and unappetizing. The ambiance is cool girl LA. IF you are in LA and want to try Nobu but Malibu is booked out months in advance, come here.

Delicious, absolutely delicious. Service was great, down to earth. The ambiance is chic and modern, didn't have to wait at all to have a seat. Overall great experience at the one and only Nobu.

I was very pleased with the overall experience. Given their reputation, I had high expectations. The location is hard to miss and tucked away. The valet is $17. We went on a Saturday night and, shockingly, it wasn't very busy. The host was super sweet and our waiter Zander was awesome; gave great recommendations. The food was fresh, full of flavor and came out hot. The drinks were also refreshing and not too sweet. The ambiance is very chill, definitely not like Malibu, but in a good way. It seems more intimate and less superficial. The meal was roughly $300 for everything.

Had a pleasant and enjoyable dining experience at Nobu LA. The staff was attentive and helpful with our questions since it was our first time there. The waiter actually recommended us the jalapeño yellowtail, dry miso white fish, and the new style salmon, which we opted for since we didn't know what to order and we were very glad we went with his recommendations because they were spot on! The setting was beautiful and serene. The only issue was that we came on an evening when it was raining very hard and to our surprise, when we sat down at our table I noticed little droplets of water land on the top of my head. I brought this to their attention and they relocated us to a different table which I thought was handled very well and professionally. Thank you Nobu for a memorable and enjoyable 30th birthday dinner !

Yesterday we had our first experience of Chef "Nobu's" cuisine on land. We had had it on Crystal Cruises in the past. It was a lovely experience. Service was superb. Prices are high, but that was expected. What was not so pleasant was one special we got that was more than double of the average dish price. Unfortunately it was not my favorite. The food quality was also excellent, although some of the flavor pairing was not to my taste. (I love both Japanese and Peruvian cuisine.) Truffle just doesn't go well with raw fish! My favorites were the cucumber sunomono (on the edge of being just a tad too sweet) and the pistachio dessert. All in all it was a great experience.

Great food, service, location. The ambiance is really nice. I'll be back for sure! Thanks for an amazing night

Our server was Yoni and he was very pleasant. Jolene was the name of the very nice lady who was bussing tables and she was extremely attentive & kind. I was extremely impressed with how attentive the staff were to making sure everyone had a clean plate for every food item that came out. What we ordered: *Yellowtail Jalapeno - great kick- refreshing start. *Albacore with shaved truffles- this is actually the best tasting thing I've ever eaten in my life. The truffle paired with the albacore was a combination my mouth was not ready for- wow! *Miso marinated Cod - this is what the restaurant is known for. This is marinated in miso for 72 hours. I was disappointed because I felt like the miso had a weird burnt taste- could just be me. I wouldn't get excited for this as much as the Albacore. *Sea Bass - fish was cooked beautifully. Spinach was very acidic and I did not finish it. *uni Tacos - Smokey flavor- first time trying Uni and I would order again! Drinks: *Lychee Elderflower Martini - ordered this because of Kim Kardashians recommendation- This doesn't taste like it has alcohol in it at all- very nice lychee flavor/ nasal floral notes without being too overly sweet *Jaded (Casamigos blanco/cucumber/ aloe Vera/citrus) - light and easy to drink with herbal undertones *garden gimlet - busy with flavor, most citrus forward out of these 3 cocktails *Passionfruit Martini- super sweet/ lots of purée/ lots of flavor All hands were on deck changing out plates to make sure the table was a clean as possible throughout the whole meal. The decor of the place was very low lit and upscale Asian. Lantern-like lights with splashes of shimmering reds and browns spread throughout the decor. For everything we ordered we paid about $500 with tip.

Vibey spot with good ambiance. When busy, service is not great. Vegan options are ok, but nothing special beyond veggie rolls and veggies. Honorable mention - eggplant and lychee martini are both amazing.

Great service great food. Its pretty pricy but it has a rlly nice ambiance. Dark as most nice places are. They have valet but we just streetparked and walked over. Got grapefriuit cocktail which was amazing. Also got toro and tuna maki, miso black cod and prime beef teppanyaki. Asked for rice later but wished we asked earlier. Our server Gus, was very polite and answered all our questions since it was our first time. He even brought us icecream for our anniversary which made my day :) did not expect anything at all. Everyone quite attentive-our waters always getting refilled, plates instantly cleaned up and our napkins folded any time we left briefly.

Amazing meal with amazing service! I had such a great experience here and am still dreaming about it. We had our waiter order us a bunch of his recommendations and they did not disappoint. Obviously, the black miso cod is a winner but the salmon with yuzu mustard dressing.. that was show stopping. So many great dishes with amazing drinks to accompany it. Definitely top on my list for food experiences!

This is my favorite restaurant period. I've been here about 6 times already! The best service I've ever experienced. Both the wait staff and the food/drink runners are extremely knowledgeable of the menu. The food and drinks consistently come out in a timely manner and the food is ALWAYS a 10/10. Whether you're at the sushi bar or at the dining tables you will thoroughly enjoy your service and meal. I do think the ambiance and views of the Malibu location is better, but if that's all you care about then go to any restaurant in LA. The sushi is top quality and extremely fresh. I highly recommend anything on the menu!

Food was nothing special. Service was awful. They charge 10 dollars for water per person. What a scam. Be honest with people. I'll pay big money for good service, and this was not it

Nobu lives up to its reputation and price tag through and through. What was particularly special about this experience was the curated selections from our waiter. Rather than traditionally looking through the menu and hoping we liked our selections, he asked what we liked as well as allergies, diets, etc. and selected dishes based on that. Everything was decadent and impressive. I'm a seafood and sushi lover, so it takes a lot to surprise me. So, it was refreshing to be treated to a whole new experience. Also, the ambient was nice, a very upscale dining feel. Of course, just know to expect to pay a pretty penny for this treat.

Fantastic experience, if you know what to order. I'm going to start off with things that I would skip next time: the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice, the Yellowtail Jalapeno, Toro Tartar with Caviar, Shishito Peppers. The Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice is definitely not worth the price, the Toro Tartar was good but also not worth the price, the Yellowtail Jalapeno is a little too basic, and the Shishito Peppers were good too but nothing special. Things that I think are worth trying but probably wouldn't order again: Miso-Marinated Black Cod. Tasted good, but was not my favorite and was not extremely special to me. It was exactly as I expected. Things that I will definitely come back for: Albacore Sashimi with Truffle and Baby Artichoke, Yellowtail Carpaccio, Snapper Dry Miso, Salmon New Style, Salmon Yuzu Karashi Su Miso. Most of these seem to be chef specials and were brought out based on our server's recommendations, but I do see that other customers have also ordered these before. I loved all of the different kinds of sashimi and carpaccio that we tried. I think that all of these are worth a try because they tasted exceptional compared to the other dishes I listed in the beginning. Service was one of the best, of course. Lovely ambiance in their covered outdoor area. Nobu is definitely worth a visit if you follow your server's recommendations. I know they have some popular dishes, but some of them are overhyped, and you're better off sticking with their nigiri or sashimi.

This place is a must visit for the most buttery sashimi that I've ever eaten ask for the wild salmon I also enjoyed the miso soup We had the California roll the softshell crab roll and spider roll along with the Nagi was beautifully presented and delicious I was presented with a happy birthday carrot cake desert that made my taste buds dance I paired my meal with the Mia margarita Thank you wait staff and Nobu for helping me celebrate my birthday month

Great service but they were out of everything...We were excited for the spicy tuna crispy rice but the waiter told us they haven't been able to get a key ingredient for months and recommended getting a spicy tuna cut roll with panko crumbs on top which we passed on. It was a full house on a rainy Thursday with a fun ambiance too. We got the miso soup, crispy rock shrimp, wagyu tacos, miso cod, nigiri and rolls. I wouldn't get the tacos or soup again as they were very underwhelming. They were out of 3 desserts too, so we finished up with the shaved ice with passion fruit syrup which was not my favorite. Would come back and solely order the epic miso cod and sushi items.

After hearing the word Nobu my entire life, I knew I had to do everything in my power to get a reservation when I was in Los Angeles. It was well worth the hype, and I am counting down the days until I can return! The atmosphere is very modern, laid back, and boujee. The service was very friendly, and they helped me celebrate my birthday in the best way possible. We started with the Lychee Martini, and it is to die for! It is one of the best I have ever tasted. For our dishes, we tried the steak tacos, miso cod, shrimp tempura roll, and the bread pudding. It was all so yummy, I left feeling so stuffed. I highly, highly recommend Nobu; it needs to be on everyone's bucket list!

Food was mediocre, other locations are better. Floor was dirty. Poor servers seemed understaffed too. Our server was really nice though.

Gorgeous inside. We were seated at a table in the wide hallway area between the bar and the main dining room but there wasn't much of a view so we opted for a table in the bar/lounge. The food was amazing and we tried lots from the menu as we were there for a birthday dinner. Each item was presented beautifully and I can honestly say everything tasted amazing. Of course, it is super expensive but the service is stellar and ambience alone is worth the price.
