Reviews describe Yubari as a stylish, intimate Japanese restaurant in Montreal's Old Port with a refined vibe, low lighting, and a DJ that adds a lounge energy without overpowering conversations. The food is consistently praised for freshness and presentation, with favorites including sushi, sashimi, wagyu dishes, and creative specials, along with standout cocktails and a lunch menu that offers good value for the quality. Service is often described as attentive and friendly, though some visits note inconsistent experiences, tight pacing or overbooking, occasional rude interactions, and prices that can feel steep. Overall, Yubari is seen as a high end, versatile dining destination ideal for celebrations, dates, or a chic night out, delivering strong food and atmosphere even if a few visits diverge in service or value.
Lovely decor & lighting. The food was delicious; the crispy tuna was a personal favorite. The service was very attentive as well. On the pricy end, but the fish was so fresh & the ambiance so lovely that it felt worth it.
Ate here for my husbands birthday, service & food was exceptional! The team made him feel very special. Everything is so fresh, delicious & unique. Sashimi is a must! The Japanese slipper was one of the best cocktails I've had at a restaurant! Special thank you to Brian, the manager, who was so attentive the entire night.

Exceptional experience from start to finish. The staff were incredibly attentive & friendly, ensuring that every need was met with a smile. The highlight, of course, was the food. Every dish we ordered was a delightful blend of flavors & beautifully presented. I also appreciated the thoughtful beverage selection, including the creative cocktails. It's clear that a lot of care & expertise goes into every aspect of the dining experience. Yubari exceeded my expectations in every way. Highly recommend !!!
Amazing experience at Yubari. The staff is friendly & attentive, ensuring every detail is perfect, & the food is simply outstanding. I highly recommend it!
I visited Yubari for a lunch & it was sublime! First, the food is creative, tasty, crunchy & they're obviously using high quality ingredients. We had maki, dumplings, fried crab rice & chicken karage & all were excellent. & don't get me started on the incredible desserts. The service is incredibly attentive, quick & kind. I got the chance to speak to some of the staff & they know a lot about the food & are very pleasant. The best part is the setting & decor which transports you to a fancy Tokyo eatery with its velvet seats & wooden motifs. There's nothing like this is Montreal so save yourself the trip to Japan & go enjoy Yubari.

If I could give more stars, I would, especially for service. Shana, & the rest of the team were incredibly attentive, very personable, & took the time to make sure we understood everything, especially with the different Sake's they offer. We even had the chef come to our table to describe the sashimi premium plate we ordered, which was to die for! All the food we loved, can't go wrong. We will be back!
Had an amazing experience dining at Yubari. Both the food & the ambiance are incredible, & the servers were very attentive. All the ingredients were fresh & flavors were perfectly paired together. Sadly I don't live in Montreal otherwise I'd definitely revisit.
Best sushi restaurant in Montreal by far! This brand new hotspot has the best atmosphere, decor & most attentive service. The sashimi platter is a must try, best I ever had!
First time going there, very impromptu lunch meeting. Surprised & delighted. Food was well presented, phenomenal flavours. The cucumber maki with pickled mushrooms & truffled peach wow. Not to take away from the fish offering but that was incredible. Service attentive & discreet. The whole space is carefully crafted & is definitely somewhere I will be coming back to with friends, family & guests. Bravo
