Everyone I know who has been to Nobu in Malibu has been disappointed. Then again, many of the patrons may remember Nobu Matsuhisa as the up and coming creative chef/owner at Matsuhisa. Sometimes, I so wish that these great chefs would just stay put. So often when they expand their horizons they diminish their name, creativity and reputation. I could cite many examples,but think that this is a topic for another thread.
