Review Summary

Yubari is widely praised for fresh, high quality sushi and creative Japanese fusion dishes, with standout items like wagyu, sashimi, and crispy rice drawing repeat visits. The atmosphere is described as stylish yet welcoming, with a chic decor and a soundtrack that supports conversation and fine dining. Service is repeatedly highlighted as attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, often guiding guests through dishes and sake pairings and making celebrations feel special. The bar and cocktails receive strong notes for balance and creativity, adding to an overall premium experience. Some reviews mention high prices and portions that may feel small for the cost, while others say the value is worth the quality. A few experiences point to occasional inconsistencies in service, pacing, or music volume, and there are occasional comments about billing or a desire for more menu variety. Many guests consider the restaurant a must visit in Montreal, especially for celebrations or date nights, and express a desire to return. The overall sentiment emphasizes a memorable, refined dining affair with meticulous plating and superior fish quality, though with caveats about cost and occasional service or ambiance quirks. In sum, Yubari stands out for its superb food, refined ambiance, and dedicated staff, delivering a premium sushi experience that many are eager to repeat.

Amazing experience overall. Everything was fresh & delicious. Atmosphere & decor were immaculate. However, I must highlight the service. The entire staff was attentive, welcoming, & fun - which I find quite rare in the city unfortunately. We had the absolute pleasure of having Sarah at our table who was truly the best. Will definitely be back & would recommend tenfold!

Love the ambience of this spot. The food is fresh & delicious & the service is on point. The various workers walking by will take it upon themselves to fill your water, bring you new plates & chopsticks between dishes & the manager is on the floor working hand in hand with the staff. Definitely recommend!

Stunning venue. The service was excellent! The food was good (keep in mind it is on the pricer side). Our highlight was one of the sushi dishes - so fresh & practically melted in your mouth.

Had a wonderful birthday here. The fish was fresh & buttery, the gyoza were flavourful & the crispy tuna was savoury albeit a bit too crispy for me. Cocktails were balanced & delicious, & the service was attentive & kind. Also the desserts were surprising & original. Would recommend coming for a special occasion!

It only takes one day for fish to swim here from the depths of the ocean ! The chefs always combines fresh & seasonal ingredients with different flavors in innovative ways to create perfect dishes. Here you can enjoy the most noble dining experience!

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.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would, the food was spectacular & for someone who doesn't typically like sashimi this was by far my fave.. super fresh & not fishy! The sushi was excellent my favourite one was the wagyu but all of them were top tier. The service was great as well, my glass of water was always full & my cocktail (iced honey) was delicious & constantly replenished. The waiter was super kind & the director Karine was such a pleasure to talk to, you can tell that this place is run with not only class but love. I would definitely recommend this place for a casual evening or a big bash.

I had high expectations but was disappointed. The sushi's didn't taste very fresh & for the price, I've definitely had better. I'd actually recommend Hidden Fish for much better quality & service. That being said, the place is cute but the music is very loud - we were shouting at each other across the table. I did really like their fried chicken though - good portion & very tender. That I'd recommend.

WOW !!!! Food was succulent, fresh & very tasty. The decor is so beautiful. Our night was 10/10. I cannot end my review by saying a big thank you to our server Sandy. What an amazing women! Her Joie de vivre is contagious. We cannot wait to be there again.

The food here is incredible the fish is so fresh & the plating is stunning so beautiful & tasty. I would recommend the sashimi bowls & that beef tataki! The decor & ambiance is also so amazing & viby great photo opportunities. Also the waiter Brian is so fantastic at what he does he's really a gem. & Karine the general manager is the sweetest & cares about the client's needs. The team here is solid not to mention the head bartender is fantastic & creates the most fabulous drinks!

Absolutely must-try! I dined at YUBARI last week, & it was an unforgettable experience. Opened just last March, this gem has quickly become a standout in the dining scene. The ambiance is elegant & welcoming, perfect for a special evening. The menu is a delightful blend of traditional & modern flavors, with every dish beautifully presented & bursting with taste. The sushi & sashimi were incredibly fresh, & the signature dishes left a lasting impression. Exceptional service & attention to detail made the evening even more enjoyable. Highly recommend YUBARI for anyone looking for an extraordinary dining experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.
