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.

Our server Fred was excellent, everything she recommended was incredible. Fresh sashimi, electric vibe & good service. There are two services so at times the restaurant might empty out however it will fill up again & the energy will re-ignite. Cocktails are good & off sushi menu times are great. Highly recommend & keep up the great work.

⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐? A Montreal Must-Try - YUBARI Sets the Bar High
I had one of the most memorable nights in Montreal at Yubari, & I can confidently say it's the kind of place that turns a simple dinner into an experience.
From the moment I walked in, the energy was exactly right-warm, stylish, & buzzing without ever feeling overwhelming. The ambiance alone would earn five stars, but the people here take it even further.
Huge kudos to Tristan behind the bar, who is honestly a master of his craft. Not only were the cocktails beautifully balanced & creative, but Tristan had this effortless way of making you feel like a VIP guest. His recommendations were spot-on, & you can tell he genuinely loves what he does. A great bartender elevates a night, & Tristan did exactly that.
& then there's Diego, the DJ, who deserves his own standing ovation. The vibe he created was unreal-perfectly curated beats that made the entire space feel alive. It wasn't overwhelming; it was magnetic. You could feel everyone leaning into the energy he built throughout the evening.
Between the exceptional service, the electric atmosphere, & the incredible talent behind both the bar & the booth, Yubari is truly in a league of its own. Whether you're visiting Montreal or you're a local looking for your next go-to spot, don't miss this place. I'm already planning my next visit.
Came by for lunch on a whim & it was great! Happy that's there's a simple table d'hôte starting at $28, which comprises of a starter & a main. For the price, it's a great value. I went with the organic salmon taco & the nigiri & maki plate. It was so good & fresh. I love when maki rolls don't use too much rice. Service was great too. The only thing I wasn't a big fan of, was the music. For an afternoon lunch meeting, it was definitely giving super-club vibes. A titch intense, so maybe adjust the playlist for daytime.
Loved the atmosphere! Would be a great vibe for date night/girl's night/team night out!
The exotic Bluefin Tuna Tartare was exceptional with the Lotus crisps. The fatty texture was dominant & the fish was honored.
The asian glazed, seaweed coated Ribs were well worth the cost & very filling.
The black sesame seeds ice-cream wasnt sweet, just like I had hoped & a wonderful finish to the meal.
Well-worth the price tag. Very satisfied customer.

We heard of this restaurant theough social media & as big sushi lovers, we came in to try it out. We were not disappointed- the atmosphere, overall vibe & service was outstanding. The staff are extremely friendly & attentive. The food was the absolute best- you can tell they pride themselves on the highest quality food & experience. If you love sushi, this is a must try!
It's not easy to find a spot that nails both food & drinks but this place absolutely delivers. Everything on the menu sounded incredible but the hot makis were next level. & don't even get me started on the edamame coated in truffle with a creamy mayo sauce I seriously never want to eat edamame any other way again. The spicy gyoza was a 10 out of 10 & every dish just hit.
The dessert was bomb like truly the perfect way to wrap up an already amazing meal.
Beyond the incredible food & drinks the service truly stood out. Sarah was fantastic. She gave thoughtful recommendations had the best energy & made the entire experience even better. The vibe of the place is effortlessly chic & relaxed & honestly I just wish I lived closer because I'd be back all the time.
Sarah was a 10 out of 10 the vibes were immaculate thank you for making the night a whole experience.
