Review Summary

Yakitori Hibahihi earns praise for a warm, intimate atmosphere and a refined izakaya vibe, with a well curated menu of yakitori skewers, sashimi and other small dishes, plus a strong sake and wine list. The service is repeatedly described as attentive and welcoming, with staff guiding the meal and creating a comfortable, thoughtful experience; hot towels and polished ambiance are frequently noted. Food quality is widely praised, especially the smoky, tender skewers and the sashimi, while some reviews call certain dishes bland or underseasoned and others feel portions are small or prices high for what is served. The decor and vibe, along with reliable staff and a sense of authenticity, lead many to say they would return, often for dates or with friends, though a few reviews warn about value and consistency. Overall, Yakitori Hibahihi appears to deliver strong yakitori and atmosphere, earning affection from many patrons while inviting occasional critique on price and certain plates.

On m'a fait attendre plus de 25 minutes après mon heure de réservation. Je n'avais plus le temps pour manger. Littéralement parti le ventre vide.

C'est juste malade. Qualité prix imbattable a Montréal! Ambiance de fou, tout est bon & service tout autant excellent. Laissez-vous guider par le staff pour le menu & le saké , ça vaut vraiment la peine. Super soirée avec mes amis & hâte d'y aller en date avec mon chum!

Quel dîner!! Tout était excellent de A à Z. Belle sélection de vins & saké absolument incroyable. J'ai été agréablement surprise par la qualité des sakés & tous les beaux accords qu'ils pouvaient faire avec la nourriture.
La serveuse (Flavie) nous a fait un menu avec plusieurs services qui arrivaient quand c'était prêt, c'était parfait & fluide. Salade de pieuvre & de pomme de terre délicieuses.
Yakitori cuits à la perfection & juteux.
Destination à refaire plusieurs fois en 2026!!

The service was excellent. The food was decent, but not quite what I expected. That said, I really enjoy their egg salads & drinks. However, the prices are a bit high compared to the overall quality. Still, if you're curious to try yakitori, it's worth giving it a chance

Excellent nouveau restaurant sur la Plaza St-Hubert!
Nous avons passé une super soirée. L'ambiance est conviviale & légèrement animée, avec une musique particulièrement réussie.
Les yakitoris sont savoureux & très variés (poulet, porc, canard, boulettes, légumes, crevettes), & les sashimis sont tout aussi délicieux & bien exécutés.
La sélection de vins & de sakés est impressionnante. Mention spéciale à l'équipe : attentive, sympathique & chaleureuse, ça rend l'expérience encore plus agréable.
On y retourne sans hésiter!

Price are terribly high for a yakitori shop.
You should put the price for the whole 2 Yakitori & not asking people to take 2 minimum. Otherwise you should allow people to take 1 Yakitori. So it's 10 $ for 2 small Veggie Yakitori.
5 Dollars / Yakitori minimum is way too expensive.
You feel that the staff have been trained on this specific issue to avoid friction with the menu & gave recommandation on what to order.
For exemple they told us that the 38 $ could be share for 2. Actually is a small Toro don for 1 person. Too expensive & too small . I took a Mousse au Chocolat, more than half of it was Ice cream & some chocolat jelly in a small cup. I felt cheated.
The restaurant is missing some piece to be a real Japanese experience like Seseri or kawa & tare or salt option.
Tsukune were way off from Japanese Quality.
Sake menu is amazing & cocktail are well served. Count 80 $ for a 500 ml Sake Carafe.
Waiter.ess were amazing, oshibori at the start is a nice attention.

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!

Yakitori Hibahihi is an exciting new venture from Hiroshi Kitano & Hideyuki Imaizumi, celebrating the art of charcoal-grilled yakitori.

The menu is thoughtfully curated, offering sashimi, cold & hot dishes, a few generous mains, & an excellent selection of meat & vegetable yakitori skewers. Each skewer is beautifully grilled over charcoal, delivering deep, smoky flavours.

A special mention goes to the powerful yet silent ventilation system, which keeps the air clean & comfortable-so you can enjoy sitting right in front of the open grill without leaving smelling of smoke. A refined & thoroughly enjoyable dining experience.

Yakitori:
• Buta Bara (Pork belly)
• Gyu (Angus beef)
• Momo (Thigh)
• Tsukune (Meatball, egg yolk)
• Ebi (Shrimp, Chemin Hatley cheese)
• Zucchini with white miso
• Tomato with Yuzu Kosho

Cold dishes:
• Maguro: Tuna sashimi, Nori sauce, Kimizu, Wasabi
• Hiyayakko: Silken tofu, cucumber, ume, sesame
• Potato salad: Chili oil (On the side), chives, shallots
• Morokyu: Cucumber, Moromi miso sauce

Cocktails:
• Kyoto: Umeshu, Shoshu, orange blossom, Hojicha tea)
• Kimiko (Virgin): Yuzu, plum, honey, oolong

Simply perfect in every way. This yakitori restaurant is the closest thing to eating in Japan right here in Montreal. I could eat here everyday of the week. The hearts & liver are a must!

Came here with my Friend a few nights ago & had an absolute blast!

The first thing I noticed when I walked in was the beautiful decor, the place is just has an amazing layout & Japanese vibe that really stands out & thrives. Makes for such a chill & relaxing atmosphere

When you are seated & your jackets are taken by the staff you are provided a hot towel to clean your paws before eating, it's a little thing but it's such a good setup before eating.

We should have to use a hot towel before doing everything, before we start work, go to the gym, drive a car even before GSP goes into the octagon he should have to use a hot towel.

The food was amazing & I'm going to let the pictures do the talking for me, everything had amazing taste & the liver was the best I've ever had in the city. (Toronto included)

I was blown away buy this place & didn't expect to have had such a great filling meal that would leave me thinking about it for days after.

Overall:
-The price was right
-Bathrooms were clean
-staff was friendly
-Dining area was clean & comfortable (seats too)
-music & vibes were spot on

10/10 - would highly recommend coming back with friends & family.

Incredible

Ambiance au top & authentique. En salle, ils remplissent nos verres avec tant de passion & en cuisine ils manient le yanagiba avec une précision hors pair. Une belle addition pour la Plaza Saint hubert

Au plaisir d y retourner bientôt

Charmant accueil dans ce nouveau gril japonais sur St-Hubert. Le service est attentionné & chaleureux. L'ambiance est conviviale, le tout dans un magnifique décor feutré. Parfait pour une sortie entre amis. Beau choix de grillades au menu. Portions à partager, idéales pour goûter à tout. Essayez la brochette de canard, vous ne serez pas déçus. Le plat de thon est tout aussi remarquable. La carte propose une belle sélection de saké & de vin d'importation privée. Laissez-vous conseiller pour les meilleurs accords. On y retournera, c'est sûr !
