Not bad Japanese food, very unique combinations, kind of a fusion type sushi in terms of their rolls. Not really my style for rolls & they were quite expensive. Rice was kind of falling apart. Nigiris & ceviche were really really good though! Would recommend the bluefin tunas & ora king salmon. I could eat like 40 of those. Very beautifully designed restaurant, great atmosphere & service. My partner took many photos here haha. Great spot for the gram & belly!

Went on a Wednesday afternoon before a concert. This place is intended for weekend nights out but the food was worth popping in for a pregame & meal. The highlight was the chutoro crudo, that sauce was 🤌. Nigiri was well balanced, I recommend the Unagi.

Nous avons logé à l'hôtel St Paul qui abrite le Yubari. Franchement, la cuisine est exceptionnelle. Les makis & autres sushis sont absolument magnifiques. J'en ai commandé beaucoup, beaucoup trop & j'ai malgré tout, terminé mon plat. C'était fin & pas bourratif comme certains japonais. Le service était génial, le gens sont adorables, comme presque partout à Montréal. En revanche (petit bémol) la foule de soi-disant'influenceuses' qui peuple le resto est parfois un poil pénible. Elles ne sont pas venues pour manger - elles ne mangent pas au vu des tenues portées - mais par moment on a l'impression de vivre à l'intérieur du réseau TIK-TOK & franchement, on peut largement s'en passer. Bref, je recommande, la cuisine est au top, le bar & le service aussi - si je dois remanger japonais à Montréal lors de mon séjour - j'y penserai sérieusement...

Food was delicious - Fresh fish, inventive rolls, & a variety of pan Asian options - great for sharing. Atmosphere was elegant but not stuffy. We were there early (7:15pm table) & music was loungey electronic, good acoustics & not loud. Service was attentive. Highly recommend.

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!

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.
