Top tier Nobu restaurant! We went here for lunch right at 12pm on a Tuesday and it was still crazy busy. We joined a line to check in around 11:55am but since we had reservations and specifically asked for outside patio, they were able to honor it (n
Nobu is an absolute standout restaurant.
The service is amazing and attentive, if you have allergies, their team goes above and beyond. Not only are the servers incredibly knowledgeable on the ingredients in each dish, they can help find you dishes that align with any food restrictions or a

Nobu Malibu definitely delivers on ambience and atmosphere, it's fun, inviting, and truly special with its prime oceanfront setting. Sitting right up against the water makes for a serene, relaxing backdrop, especially as the sun sets over the Pa
Amazing views of the ocean.
I've come twice for team events, and had great experiences. Once was in the day time at lunch and once was for dinner at sunset. View cannot be beat! Food is delicious of course. I really loved the spicy tuna on rice cracker, and the beef dish (
The views and restaurant are gorgeous.
It's a beautiful restaurant in an even more beautiful location. But it's still a restaurant and that means the food needs to be just as good. It was sadly not. This place is all about the vibe and being part of the LA scene. If you're

I had a great birthday dinner with my family.
Food and service were outstanding. We enjoyed the ceviche, rock shrimp, cut rolls, sea bass, new york steak and desserts. It was a delightful experience.

I'm a dentist now: Yep, what that other review said.
We literally had to pull teeth to get anything for us during our strange time here. I was waiting for the hidden cameras to come out like we were on an episode of Impractical Jokers. It's almost ironic it's across the street from McDonalds.

Went here with my family to celebrate my son and niece bday.
We sat on the patio during the sunset. At one point we stood up to take pics and the security had us sit down, which was kind of irritating with how nice the sunset was but ok I get it. All 5 of our dishes came out at different times which prolonged

This really lives up to the hype, in all ways! We finally went to Nobu Malibu to celebrate our anniversary. This place has beautiful views and ambiance. We had reservations at 630 and the temperature was 70 degrees. The most perfect Coastal weather.

Connect with users posting reservations for Nobu Malibu
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Nobu Malibu. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Nobu Malibu at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Nobu Malibu page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $5.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $5.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $5 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Nobu Malibu to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $5 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Nobu Malibu!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
