I have been to Nobu NY, Miami and Matsuhisa and I would have to say I enjoyed my experience at the Malibu location the most. The portions here are substantially larger but of not lesser quality. I am not sure if I just tried it on a lucky day or what but the omakase was absolutely huge! The atomosphere at the Malibu outpost is noticeably much more casual than the other locations as well. Jeans and flip flops were a common sight.
Nobu opens at 5:45pm so if you don't have a reservation, get there as soon as they unlock the door to ensure yourself a seat because it will filled up by 6:30pm.
Pros: huge omakase, creativity, casual vibe
Cons: pricey!
