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.
The best yakitori I've ever had.
Exceptional service (India was divine & very hospitable & knowledgeable), the vibe was perfectly upbeat & chill, & the food was six stars out of five. Definitely a gem & worth coming back over & ove
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!
Yakitori Hibahihi is an absolute gem. The atmosphere is warm & intimate, perfect for a relaxed evening or a special night out. Every skewer was expertly grilled-tender, flavorful, & clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The balance of smoky char & seasoning was spot on.
Our experience was made even better by our server, Flavie, who was incredibly likeable, attentive, & genuinely welcoming. Her recommendations were spot-on, & she made us feel truly well taken care of without ever being intrusive.
You can really feel the care & authenticity behind every dish & the service. If you're looking for exceptional yakitori, great vibes, & a memorable dining experience, Yakitori Hibahihi is a must-visit. We'll definitely be back.
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.
Excellente expérience du début à la fin! La nourriture était délicieuse & le service irréprochable. Merci tout spécialement à Alice & Maël, qui ont contribué à rendre notre soirée incroyable. Le saké était excellent!! Merci pour notre belle soirée au comptoi
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.

• Buta Bara (Pork belly)
• Gyu (Angus beef)

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.
