The food was absolutely delicious, & the restaurant itself is beautiful-the décor & overall atmosphere are stunning. We had to wait for our table despite having a reservation, but they kindly offered us a complimentary drink, which was a really nice touch. The only downside was the music being very loud, especially for a date night. Overall, a great experience!
The service was so bad & rude. They literraly kicked us out because we only got cocktails. They approached us 8 times hinting us to leave. Dont go here its super expensive & bad service. Also the prices are so high for mediocre drinks.
Fantastic hospitality & food that was divine & fit for royalty. This place has blown my mind & expectations. This set a high level for the Montreal food scene during my visit. No place cannot do it better than Yubari does. The drinks are addictive concoctions. Just get your wallet ready. The pictures don't do justice to one of the best restaurant experiences of the city.

I went tonight to this place, it was so amazing the music in this place is really nice to just relax & ea. The food is the greatest tried in my 18 years of life after my mom's of course. The drink that they gave me with bubbles was SOOO amazing. I REALLY RECOMMEND TRYING IT.
Good service & entertainment - food was lacking, our yakitori chicken was slightly underdone. Seems to be a location more for vibes vs. culinary experience. Recommend for drinks only.
J'ai été il y a quelques semaine pour célébrer mon anniversaire avec mon copain & nous avons adoré notre expérience! Super service de la part de Alexia, la nourriture était délicieuse & les drinks super originaux. Assez coûteux, mais pour une soirée spéciale, très bon restaurant!!
The food was very mediocre. Portions were very little & grossly overpriced. The atmosphere could have made up for it if our server didn't ruin that for us as well. We came here for our friend's birthday yesterday, & what started off as a great night ended in frustration & anger.
The service was nothing to write home about, the most notable thing was another server coming to check on if everything was okay. We were sat (not even by our main server), the food & drinks were served, & that was literally it.
However, at the end of the night, our server found it fitting to put the burden of'paying her salary' on us despite her basic service. My friend, the birthday girl, paid first & didn't tip. We're not from Montreal so we're not familiar with the tipping culture here. Where i'm from we only tip if there was something spectacular about the service, & like i said, there was absolutely nothing that stood out. The server saw that she didn't tip, asked if anything was wrong with the service, my friend said no, then the server proceeded to say something along the lines of'oh i was wondering why you didn't tip.' After she was met with silence, she then said'you know tips are how i make my salary right?' &'so i basically just worked for free, cool.' Mind you, the rest of the table (3/4 people, including me) tipped.
I decided to confront her about the passive aggression & how that's not an appropriate way to talk to anyone let alone a customer. She maintained that she was not being passive aggressive, that she was simply letting us know how things are for her. I also maintained my stance that she was passive aggressive & that was not okay, especially knowing that today is a special day for our friend. Once everybody paid, she then threw out another passive aggressive'happy birthday!' to which i responded'no thank you' on behalf of my friend & left the restaurant.
To put it plainly, this was a rubbish experience & if i could give it 0 stars i would. I don't leave reviews of anywhere much but this situation brought a lot of anger to all of us, especially on a day where we're supposed to be celebrating.
Edit: I just remembered she also told us it was mandatory to tip in Quebec (which i now know is a lie). When my friend asked'so why isn't it included on the bill' she seemed to not have an answer. This was such a poor experience.
Went for ladies night. Ladies eat free, we just have to pay for our drink. Me & my girls were so excited for this, expecting to pay a bill of about 22$ (which is the price of the drink) plus tip. We were even considering tipping over 20% because the whole thing was so cheap. But when the waitress came to us, she told us that if we came on a regular day our food would've actually cost us about 80 dollars & so we should tip her on that amount instead. We were so confused & didn't really understand how to respond to that situation & we just caved in because saying no was making us feel cheap. But we should've never had been made to feel that way. If our bill is 22$, we tip on that amount not on what the bill could've been. It is the restaurant's policy so I don't understand what made the waitress think this was okay. This basically doubled our bill & the waitress made a tip higher than what our bill was. Ridiculous. Will not be returning.
