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. Overall, Yubari is seen as a high end, versatile dining destination ideal for celebrations, dates, or a chic night out, delivering strong food and atmosphere even if a few visits diverge in service or value.
Une expérience inoubliable - mon nouveau resto coup de coeur!
J'ai mangé hier dans ce restaurant & je suis encore sous le choc… dans le bon sens! L'ambiance est tout simplement écoeurante - chaleureuse, stylée, avec une vibe qui te fait décrocher dès que tu passes la porte.
Mais le clou du spectacle, c'est la nourriture. Sérieusement, j'ai goûté au boeuf Wagyu… & c'était carrément une révélation. La viande arrivait dans une petite boîte en bois, & quand ils l'ouvrent devant toi, une fumée s'en dégage - le genre de détail qui te fait dire wow avant même d'avoir goûté. & quand tu y goûtes… mon Dieu! La viande était d'une tendreté incroyable, avec un goût subtil de charbon fumé, parfaitement balancé. Je n'ai jamais mangé quelque chose d'aussi bon. C'était fondant, savoureux, carrément divin.
Le concept est original, le service est impeccable - attentionné, rapide, souriant. On sent que chaque détail est pensé avec soin.
Honnêtement, ce restaurant vient de grimper au top de ma liste. Un vrai bijou. Je le recommande à 1000 %!

Really excellent food. The service is wonderful & the atmosphere is the perfect balance of vibey without being too over the top busy. The space is also beautifully decorated. Strongly recommend overall.
Went on a date, I reserved a quiet table for 2 at 8 After being seated the server noticed we were not happy with our table so she happily decided to move us. Sarah was absolutely fantastic, being the only server for the entire restaurant which was busy enough for easily 2, she was on point. Great service, great energy & personality, very professional & awesome. I am definitely coming back especially for her & the bus girl that was working as well, I'm upset her name slipped my mind. Cute, bubly & super nice. Cocktail(Slipper)was great, although they did not have the sake I wanted in stock Sarah suggested the next best thing even though it wasn't in the same palate. Sushi was great although I was not really impressed with the nigiri & the Usuzukuri salmon. The Kanbina & the tuna futomaki was top notch. Vibe was great, hard to find a place that has all 3 aspects: good service, good food & music & not to mention great design by my friend Italo(Anonymus Concepts)
Such a fun night! We sat at the bar, & 4 hrs went by too quickly!! The service, the food, the drinks, the vibe & the DJ... all added to making the evening memorable!! Loved this place!
Make sure you have a reservation, we came in without one, they kindly sat us at the bar. However, we were waiting for 30 minutes & nobody came to take our order or even bring over water until we flagged a waiter down. Music & vibe are great! Hope we have better luck next time.

Foood 10000/10. Service is amazing too just a bit slow especially at first when you sit. However great vibes, music a little loud but still a great place to have dinner on the weekend.☺️ Enjoyed my experience.
Amazing vibe!! Modern take on 70's retro style, super comfortable seating, elegant & fancy decor starting with the entry ! Went with my sister , perfect spot to catch up with friends or just have an intimate dinner with a loved one. The staff were very friendly & professional, always asking about allergies & any special request. As the waiter would bring you the food to the table, they would present to you your order with detailed ingredients. We started with truffle sauces grilled edamame with peach spritz & peach margarita. We then ordered Yubari signature maki, with Yugen, Kinsugi & Ora King salmon sashimi. Everything tasted as amazing as it looked! I already recommended this place to my friends! Will definitely come back again! Thank you so much for the service!
