Review Summary

Overall Yakitori Hibahihi is described as an exciting, almost authentic Japanese yakitori experience in Montreal, with standout skewers cooked over charcoal and a thoughtful menu that includes sashimi, cold and hot dishes, and a strong sake and wine list. The atmosphere is repeatedly praised as warm, intimate, stylish, and vibrant, with attentive staff guiding guests through the tasting and making friends and family feel welcome. Service is generally highlighted as excellent and passionate, with notes about pacing and getting advice from the staff to balance orders, and a hot towel ritual that sets a welcoming tone. While the food is widely loved for flavor, some reviewers note that prices can be high for portion size and that a few dishes can feel dry or underseasoned, and that the menu can be confusing at times. Nevertheless, most guests would return to try more skewers and explore the sake and cocktail options, appreciating the overall vibe and the quality that makes this place stand out.

What a wonderful dining experience @Hibahihi! From food quality to service to the restaurant vibes, everything is super cool. Very authentic Yakitori & all kinds of food, we did love the sashimi, pickles, yakitori & ramen 😋

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.

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!

Nous sommes aller à 3 & nous avons adoré notre soirée.
Le service a été impeccable, on nous a expliqué le menu & combien de plat nous devrions prendre & finalement ça a été parfait. Pas trop mangé juste assez pour 3 appétit différents.
Très gros coup de coeur pour les yakitori de poitrine de porc, tofu soyeux & le plat de ramen au confit de canard.
Merci pour tout .

This place is a gem! From the minute you walk in you are met with smiles & warmth & a beautiful decor. The sake & wine list is great! Multiple portion options available. The menu is exactly what you want from a yakitori restaurant with cold & hot sides & even the chef's trademark sashimi bowls & ramen!
Every skewer we tasted was perfection & the Maguro dish is out of this world!!! Chutoro available too is heaven. Desserts are light & delicious to end the meal!! You leave already planning & craving your next meal there! Long live Hibahihi & chef Hiroshi!!!!! Thank you team!

Food quality here is amazing, arguably better than yakitori in Japan. The fried chicken is light & crispy, & the skewers are perfectly tender. The only downside is the mains; the Ramen & Don portions are quite small for the price. the Ramen & Don bowls are very small & a bit pricey for the portion size, so you'll need to order plenty of skewers to fill up. Expect to spend around $80/person. Great service with the warm towels!

I was honestly impressed - the yakitori tasted just like what I've had in Japan. Every skewer was juicy & perfectly cooked. The sides were also super authentic, & I loved the reasonable tapas-style portions so I could try a bit of everything.

As a Japanese person, being able to finish with noodles or rice made me really happy. I had the shio ramen & it was light but full of umami.

Their drink selection is amazing - especially the sake & shochu. I ordered shochu hot & it was perfect.

I'll definitely be back soon.
