Summary: Waterfront sushi with opulent vibes.
Nobu stands out as a beacon of luxury in Newport Beach, offering a two-story, waterfront dining experience that's the epitome of opulence. Golden brown interiors and intimate lighting set the stage for a well-heeled crowd to enjoy Nobu Matsuhisa's famous sushi, rolls, sashimi, and skewers. The ground floor buzzes with a see-and-be-seen atmosphere, while the upper level offers a quieter space to savor exquisite cold and hot dishes, including the renowned monkfish liver pâté with caviar, and rib-eye with truffle butter sauce. Those looking to indulge can splurge on caviar and aged saké or select from the high-end wine list. The meal concludes with sophisticated desserts, like the sobacha sesame cake with black cherry.
