Review Summary

Yakitori Hibahihi is described as a warm, intimate spot with a beautiful, authentic Japanese vibe and a standout grill where every skewer is carefully seasoned and cooked to perfection, from pork belly and chicken heart to duck dishes and a range of vegetables, complemented by a strong sake and wine list and compelling sashimi options. Reviews praise attentive, friendly service and crisp, clean decor, with guests noting thoughtful touches like hot towels on arrival and menu guidance that helps pace the meal. While many experiences feel like a memorable, high quality night out, a few visits mention high prices for relatively small portions or occasional service hiccups and some dishes that miss the mark; still, the consensus leans toward a gem worth returning to for the ambience, distinctive drinks, and especially the yakitori, with several readers already planning their next visit.

Best skewers spot in town! Great service as well! Tried fried chicken skin appetizer & every meat skewers except for the Wagyu one & they were all delicious. The plum beer was also a really nice discovery!

Note : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Quelle magnifique première visite chez Yakitori Hibahihi ! Toute la nourriture était absolument délicieuse. Les ailes de poulet (Teba) & la peau de poulet croustillante (Kawa Pon) ont été nos coups de coeur - une cuisson parfaite & des saveurs incroyables.
Le service était incroyablement chaleureux & accueillant. Notre serveuse était fantastique ; son anglais était excellent, ce qui a rendu l'expérience très fluide & agréable pour ma famille. Il est rare de trouver un endroit où l'ambiance, le service & la qualité des plats sont tous à ce point au rendez-vous. Je recommande vivement pour une sortie en famille !

We had an amazing first visit to Yakitori Hibahihi! The food was absolutely delicious across the board. The chicken wings (Teba) & the crispy chicken skin (Kawa Pon) were standout favorites-perfectly cooked & full of flavor.
The service was incredibly warm & welcoming. Our waitress was fantastic; her English was excellent, making the whole experience smooth & enjoyable for my family. It's rare to find a place where the atmosphere, service, & food are all top-notch. Highly recommend for families!

Excellente expérience dans ce restaurants! Les yakitoris étaient délicieux, je recommande les coeurs de poulet & les boulettes! Le chirashi & le tartare de thon étaient excellents, la qualité du poisson est remarquable. Les sakés que nous avons bus étaient riches & variés. Nous avons été super bien conseillés par Alice.

I visited on Friday night around 7:30 PM. I understand it was busy, but the service was very inconsistent & frustrating.

One staff member told me takeaway was available, so I waited about 10 minutes. However, another staff member (who was handling the entrance/takeaway requests at that time) then told me it was not possible, & that no seats were available due to full reservations.

When I asked a simple question about whether takeaway or seating would be possible on another day, this staff member tried to cut off the conversation & prioritised other customers without answering clearly, while also assuming I was asking about availability for the same day. I had to insist on getting a basic answer.

Overall, the issue was not the lack of availability, but the dismissive attitude & lack of clear communication. I hope the team can improve consistency & customer interaction.

Expérience assez mitigée pour ce restaurant. C'est bête à dire, mais l'entrée est difficile à identifier ; on a presque l'impression qu'il faut un badge pour pouvoir rentrer dans l'enceinte ! Une fois à l'intérieur, le décor est épuré & le bar orienté vers la cuisine est sympa, mais l'espace est vraiment limité & peu adapté pour les groupes.
Le gros point noir reste la carte qui est, à l'image de cette entrée, très peu détaillée & confuse. Moi qui suis pourtant très ouvert & qui adore les surprises, j'ai trouvé frustrant de passer plus de temps à essayer de comprendre le menu qu'à discuter entre amis. On a fini par s'en remettre à la serveuse pour choisir, mais le résultat était inégal. En plus, les plats sont arrivés à une vitesse fulgurante, ce qui empêche de suivre le rythme & oblige à manger certains yakitoris froids.
Si certains plats étaient corrects, d'autres étaient vraiment ordinaires, comme les ailes de poulet ou les piments qui manquaient de relief. Un petit conseil : détailler la carte & ralentir la cadence du service permettrait de mieux profiter du moment.
Étonnamment pour un resto japonais, la carte des desserts est conséquente. J'ai bien aimé la tartelette aux oranges sanguines, même si elle est facturée 14 $. En résumé, je reste sur ma faim, sans l'effet'waouh' espéré.

We chose the restaurant based on reviews. Yet the food was disappointing: Karaage had no crunch & was very oily, the shio ramen had no flavor (which is a feat) but lots of oil, the chicken wings were'soft baked' I guess & very oily. I ate at numerous yakitori around Japan, I don't know if there was an issue tonight, but the food we had had nothing to do with yakitori.
Service was okay. A bit too present (waitress extending her hand from behind me & right besides my face to feel my can on the table) or expeditious at times.
The place is beautifully decorated & the pictures don't do justice to the design work they put in. So I can't recommend for anything else but (expensive) vibes.

An excellent option for a (almost authentic) yakitori place in Montréal. If this city needed something more, this place feels like a breath of fresh air!

Experience wise it's what Montreal is missing, exotic, charcoal smells amazing . Food wise it's bit mediocre considering the price. especially on the chicken part, should be more juicy however it's bit dry, beef is beautiful, prawns are good. Service is not to the point, when a sauce is house radishes meaning very spicy you would expect some warning from the waitress, but, no.

Kitano & Imaizumi have done it again. Truly.

What I loved the most about Kitano Shokudo is sort of the theatrics of it. Or I guess the lack of theatrics? I'm not sure. The way all of it feels raw but we get to see all of it. Maybe I'm just a fan boy at this point but seriously, this place is on par with high-end yakitori spots I've been to in Tokyo. Heavily recommend. Get a seat at the bar & enjoy getting wafted with the chicken-y binchotan smoke.

Can you guys add negima to the menu? That's my favourite.

Good job.

Quelle belle addition à la Plaza Saint-Hubert!!!!! Déco réellement à l'image des restos du Japon & ambiance fun, feutrée & funky. Fantastique playlist. Le plus important par contre: la nourriture. Tout était absolument délicieux & goûteux! La salade de pieuvre très fraîche avec sa combinaison de saveurs inattendue, les légumes marinés acidulés pour accompagner le côté umami des brochette grillées, & coup de coeur INFINI pour le mazemen au canard confit. Tellement bon que j'ai pas eu le temps de prendre une photo, une grande cuisse de canard confit sur des nouilles ramen parfaitement al dente & crémeuses à souhait en raison de l'oeuf poché qui créé la sauce. Excellents cocktails aussi. Je recommande vivement & serai assurément de retour pour essayer les prochaines déclinaisons du menu!

C'était ma première expérience dans un restaurant de yakitoris & j'ai adoré. J'ai apprécié le soin apporté aux plats & de découvrir les accompagnements japonais, condiments, sauces, épices. C'était un voyage pour les papilles, en final d'un menu découverte nous avons gouté à un plat appelé Mazemen, fait de canard confit, d'oeuf, d'oignon, & de poivre servi sur des nouilles: une vraie délectation! Que dire aussi de la carte des vins, & des sakés, nous avons dégusté deux sakés très fins. Le service était impeccable & sympathique. Nous avons eu beaucoup de plaisir à passer un moment dans ce restaurant dans lequel chaque détail est pensé & dont l'ambiance est vraiment chouette. La facture peut être élevée selon ce que vous choisissez, mais si vous voulez vous offrir une sortie de qualité dans Villeray, je vous recommande sans hésitation ce Yakitori.

You can see everything was thoughtful, the decor, the hot towel before eating, the music, the food was presented so well. Each dish they introduce it with passion to let us know how it works. Wow, I'll definitely come back to try more food with friend's & family

Nous avons pris la salade de patates & karaage en entrée, puis des yakitori de champignons, de shishito, de boulette & de poulet.
Tout était délicieux!
