Nobu Malibu · Restaurant · Los Angeles
The Nobu that sits on the sand at Carbon Beach, with the deck out over the Pacific.
Nobu Malibu is the one people picture when they hear the name. It sits on the Pacific Coast Highway at Carbon Beach with a deck built out over the water, and the whole proposition is that position - you eat with the ocean directly below the rail and the light going down in front of you.
The room is Californian rather than the darker register of the city Nobus: reclaimed timber, stone, a long sushi counter inside and an outdoor lounge where most people would rather sit. The deck runs on heaters after sunset, which extends the good hours well past the light.
The kitchen is the Nobu Matsuhisa canon, cooked at the standard the flagship implies: black cod marinated in miso, yellowtail sashimi cut over jalapeno, rock shrimp tempura, and a sushi list that is worth the counter rather than a table.
Lunch is the underrated sitting and the easier booking - the room does daytime as well as it does dinner, and the water reads better in daylight. Dinner books out weeks ahead through the season. Nobu Ryokan sits next door if the evening is meant to be a longer one.
