Opened in 1999, Nobu Malibu is one of 25 Nobu restaurants worldwide by Japanese chef Nobu Matsuhisa, serving dishes that combine Japanese and Peruvian styles. Located on Pacific Coast Highway, Nobu not only has a beautiful and romantic ocean view but also a relaxing, pleasant atmosphere.
Nobu's interior design is also one of the noteworthy points. With a traditional Japanese style but with a minimalist and modern direction, Nobu Malibu brings a luxurious, humble and Zen-like space that has long been admired by Westerners.
When asked why he chose to combine Japanese and Peruvian cuisine, Nobu replied that he had lived in Peru and that it was difficult to cook Japanese food because similar ingredients could not be found. As a result, he had to substitute local Peruvian ingredients. Fortunately, this strange culinary combination has now become exclusive to the global Nobu brand.

Few people know that the co-founder of the Nobu restaurant chain is actor Robert De Niro. Perhaps thanks to De Niro's close relationship in the entertainment industry, Nobu has become a prestigious address for many famous people, from actors, singers, models, players to businessmen and billionaire investors.
