Review Summary

Yubari is widely celebrated as an upscale destination in Old Montreal that masterfully blends high-end Japanese gastronomy with a vibrant, lounge-like atmosphere. Guests consistently praise the restaurant for its stylish decor, live DJ sets, and polished, welcoming service, making it a popular choice for birthdays, date nights, and special celebrations. While many diners find the sushi and creative fusion dishes exceptionally fresh and flavorful, opinions on the overall value are mixed, with some noting that prices are high relative to portion sizes. Although most experiences are characterized by attentive and professional care, a minority of visitors have reported inconsistencies in service speed or quality, occasionally citing loud music or issues with reservation management. Overall, it remains a go-to spot for those seeking an energetic, aesthetically stunning dining experience in a prime location.

Very good food & friendly staff

We reserved a table there on the prom night of our daughter, who has had the best grades in her whole high school over the past 5 years. She was also the recipient of the Governor General's bronze medal last night! She did not want to eat frozen veggies & a scoop of mash for a ridiculous price at the prom dinner; instead, she asked us for a sushi dining experience because she loves it.We drove one hour from the 450 area, & WOW, was it worth the drive. The food is so fresh. Every bite is an explosion of flavour in your mouth. As others have already mentioned, the sushi melts in your mouth. Service is impeccable.Our budget does not permit us to go there very often, but it's worth considering a couple of visits a year. Rosy was very appreciative of that family moment. We enjoyed being at YUBARI very much. Thanks, guys, & keep up the good work! 10/10

An absolute standout culinary experience! Yubari delivers an exclusive vibe that masterfully pairs high-end gastronomy with an incredible atmosphere.

We sampled both the vegetarian & salmon rolls-each expertly crafted, incredibly fresh, & bursting with unique, juicy flavor profiles. The bao buns are a absolute must-order; the bun bread was pillowy-soft & cloud-like, perfectly balancing the rich, savory fillings inside for both veg & non-veg options.

Beyond the menu, the ambiance is unmatched. The restaurant features a brilliant sound setup with a dedicated live DJ curating the perfect soundtrack for the evening. It elevates the entire dining experience into a unique night out. Highly recommend, & I'll definitely be returning!

L'assiette premium était tout simplement excellente : les sushis/sashimi étaient d'une fraîcheur remarquable & les cocktails délicieux. La qualité de la nourriture était vraiment à la hauteur de nos attentes.

Malheureusement, le service n'a pas suivi le même niveau d'excellence. Une fois notre repas servi, nous n'avons pratiquement pas revu notre serveur jusqu'au moment de demander la facture. J'ai mentionné à plusieurs reprises que j'aimerais accompagner mon repas d'une bouteille de saké & j'ai même dû interpeller une hôtesse pour obtenir la carte des vins. Après avoir fait mon choix, la carte est restée sur le comptoir pendant près de 30 minutes sans suivi.

Considérant le coût assez élevé du repas, nous nous attendions à un service plus attentif & présent. Cela dit, la qualité des plats & des boissons demeure un point fort indéniable. Avec un meilleur service & un rapport qualité-prix un peu plus équilibré, l'expérience aurait facilement mérité 5 étoiles.
