Chef Nobu Matsuhisa's iconic restaurant sits right on Newport Harbor in Lido Marina Village, offering a two-story waterfront experience unlike anything else in Orange County. World-famous for its new-style Japanese cuisine — the yellowtail jalapeño and black cod miso are legendary — Nobu Newport Beach is the kind of place you go to celebrate, impress, or simply remind yourself that life is good. Full bar, outdoor patio, private event spaces, and a sushi bar that's always buzzing.
