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.

Très belle expérience de nouveau à cet excellent restaurant japonais du Centre-ville de Montréal avec un groupe de 8 personnes. Le lieu est sublime, le service excellent & l'ambiance est vraiment agréable. Tous les plats apportés à notre table étaient délicieux & bien présentés. Si vous désirez manger Japonais à Montréal c'est un incontournable. Un restaurant à découvrir & un endroit où nous retournerons à coup sûr! Merci à toute l'équipe du YUBARI ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I've been to Yubari twice, & both visits were fantastic. The service is consistently great, the sushi is incredibly fresh, & the ambiance is spot on. The decor adds to the vibrant atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for a night out. Highly recommend!

Nous sommes allés hier (mercredi 4 décembre 2024) & l'expérience a juste été incroyable ! Des explosions de saveurs dans notre bouche, juste insane ! L'ambiance, le service était bons, l'endroit vraiment beau! Mais la nourriture, juste wow !!! Nous avons pris: Edamames à la truffe (vraiment trop bon!) & vapeur. Poulet Yakitori & mini burger Wagyu. Ce fut de très belles découvertes pour tout le monde à table! Mes amis ont pris des Sashimi, des Nigiri & autres sushis, la présentation était vraiment belle! Les bouchées étaient vraiment bonnes! Nous avons tous pris un Sashimi Wagyu, c'était INSANE dans la bouche ! Personnellement, le riz frit au canard braisé m'attirait énormément & je n'ai pas été déçue ! Je vous recommende d'essayer au moins une fois, c'était vraiment très bon! J'y retournerai certainement :D

First time at this spot, the aesthetic was very cool! The food was decent. The tartare tacos were the best thing! Service was excellent, they kept changing our plates in between our dishes.

Stunning decor, amazing service from all staff, really unique cocktails & menu is comprehensive. It was hard to decide which items I was going with. One of the best dining experiences I've had the pleasure of having. I can't wait to come back.

Feutré comme ambiance, service à la hauteur d'un restaurant de ce type. Serveur attentionné, qui connaissait ses spécialités, une expérience sushi 5 étoiles.

En plus du superbe décor, de l'ambiance & de plusieurs plats qui m'ont surpris, j'ai trouvé le service impeccable de l'accueil au service au table. Lorsqu'il y a eu du temps d'attente pour le repas d'une personne dans notre groupe, on lui a offert un petit à côté à déguster pour compenser, ce que j'ai trouvé très attentionné. Je vais y retourner assurément !

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.

Chaque plat a été servi avec soin, & les explications sur les spécialités étaient très appréciées. On sent vraiment que le personnel est passionné & soucieux du bien-être des clients.

Hello world! It's inspiring already the moment you enter the restaurant, nestled in the backdrop of Montreal's Old Port, this exceptional sushi establishment transcends the ordinary dining experience. The atmosphere envelops you in an aura of elegance & tranquility, complemented by attentive yet unobtrusive service. Great impeccable service from Brian, great aura, the confidence, very personable, & Donnahue "Donna" thank you, it shows she cares about her job, embodying what Yubari is, high-class & exclusivity... A great smile too! The meticulously curated menu showcases an exquisite array of traditional & innovative dishes, each a testament to the artistry of Japanese cuisine. I say "Bravo!" to the chefs, kisses to the chefs, they are exemplifying their dedication to serve excellence of each bites. Let's be honest, is it overpriced? Absolutely highway robbery, but it's not their fault, it's only yours! Even if you just want to get ripped off & impress your date (you better hope the night ends just how you are imagining it for the price you're going to pay) eating the same California roll just as the same as Joe Blow down the street, be my guest. Having said that, be a pro, accept your losses, shake your head in disbelief & take another sip of your cocktail, it'll make the seduction process less repugnant. Listen, the dish arrives at the table, you will be in awe, the presentation is nothing short of artistic, transforming each dish into a visual masterpiece, see photos... Right?! Not only a feast for the palate but also for the eyes. Yubari is a sanctuary for sushi aficionados & novices alike, promising an unparalleled gastronomic journey that is as intellectually stimulating as it is delightfully indulgent. I honestly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a sophisticated MASTERPIECE EXPERIENCE in a truly private & intimate setting. Yubari is not for the fainted heart, if you're Dave Chappelle in "Half baked" this is not the joint for you!
