Review Summary

Yubari is widely celebrated as a premier destination in Old Montreal for its high quality Japanese fusion cuisine, elegant atmosphere, and vibrant lounge energy curated by live DJs. Many patrons describe the sushi and sashimi as exceptionally fresh and beautifully presented, often highlighting standout dishes like the truffle edamame, bao buns, and premium maki rolls. While the service is frequently praised as attentive, professional, and welcoming, a segment of guests has noted occasional inconsistencies, including long wait times, challenges with reservation management, or service that felt indifferent. Although the pricing is on the higher end and some diners find the music volume quite loud, the restaurant remains a highly recommended spot for special occasions, date nights, and celebrations due to its sophisticated aesthetic and consistently flavorful menu offerings.

I absolutely loved everything about this restaurant! I had been wanting to try it for a while, & I finally got the chance to visit for a friend's birthday.

The atmosphere was fantastic, the décor was stunning, & every detail was beautifully thought out. The food was excellent, & I was impressed by how diverse the menu was, there's truly something for every taste. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, going on a date, or simply looking for a great dining experience, this is a beautiful spot that I would highly recommend.

Yubari is an amazing restaurant that exceeded mine & my friends expectations! The staff are extremely accommodating, & do everything to make you feel welcome & taken care of. When I asked to switch tables to a more comfortable spot, they promptly did so. Everything we ordered was delicious & very flavourful. The decor & vibe is beautiful & amazing! The service is impeccable! This local neighborhood gem became one of my favorite places for Japanese cuisine & I recommend them to all friends & clients of my business. Yubari is a great example of how a high end restaurant should be run. Cannot wait to return 😊

I was highly impressed! Honestly, above my expectations. The service was amazing, & they even helped us find a table that perfectly suited our needs even though it was Friday evening.
The food was incredible. Literally everything we tried was delicious. My favorite were the wagyu maki topped with foie gras - absolutely unforgettable.
Beautiful & creative design, ambient lighting, good music, & a great location. I would definitely come back:)

The restaurant & ambiance is beautiful! But, the prices are WAY too high for the quality of sushi & portion sizes you get. Drinks also very expensive. You go for the experience, not expecting to eat the best sushi of your life.

A beautiful space located inside the St Paul hotel on the edge of Old Montreal.

Great selection of food & cocktails- be prepared for the prices as they can be a bit of a sticker shock (my husband's cocktail was $40 but was unique & he said it was amazing) & mine was also delicious.

Server was really helpful, she explained every dish that came out. Our highlights were the ceviche & the scallop foie gras maki roll.

A fantastic experience- reservations are suggested as the restaurant filled up quickly.
