Première visite à ce restaurant. Nous avons commandé une soupe Miso, Sushi Yubari Signature & Sushi Farusato. Le tout était excellent, frais & gouteux. Le service de notre serveuse n'était cependant pas au niveau d'excellence de la nourriture. Elle nous a pas servi les plats, n'a pas pris le temps de venir nous voir en cours de repas, & la facture est arrivée tardivement. Somme toute, une belle première expérience que nous répéterons.
I had the pleasure of dining at Yubari last night with my partner, & while the experience was enjoyable, it didn't quite reach the exceptional level of my initial visit.
On a previous occasion, I savored the Yubari Blue for two, which I consider to be one of the menu's highlights. The nigiri pieces were, as always, delightful, but I found the maki selections to be less impressive than during my last order. I personally appreciated the Sashimi bowl, with its diverse cuts of fish. My partner, however, noted that many of the cuts were quite fatty, & felt that the flavor profiles could have been more varied, with some of the fish blending together. My first experience, I recall, offered a greater distinction in flavors. But still enjoyable nonetheless.
Our evening concluded with dessert, both options of which were truly delicious.
The service consistently stands out as exceptional, with all staff members being friendly & incredibly helpful. My sole reservation regarding this recent visit was an unexpected encounter where a stranger approached our table during our meal to offer flowers for sale. While it didn't detract significantly from the overall experience, it did introduce a slightly less refined element & prompted me to ponder how such an interaction was permitted within a high-end dining establishment. Should I return, I hope to find the atmosphere fully restored to a five-star standard.
the food was to die for !! so so so delicious, the sashimi literally melted in my mouth. i also love the atmosphere, vibe & decor of the place, definitely coming back
Eten was super, lekkerste sushi die onze kinderen ooit hadden gegeten! Service was vriendelijk, maar op momenten was het een beetje lang wachten. Het restaurant is schitterend van binnen!
The quality of food was amazing.
Me & my friend order'Yubari Blue', & it was great portion for two people. Cocktail was okay as well.
I think there is room for improvement in service-wise.
Dined as a family with a 6pm reservation on a Tuesday night . Busy but not too busy with several open tables. Food & service, at least most of it, was absolutely amazing. Again, the food & most of the service was absolutely amazing, but it's not always just about the food, it's about the full experience.
Unfortunately, we had a lovely time until 8:10pm when someone, not our server, came to the table & said we needed to leave with our children because it was past 8pm. Maybe that's a provincial rule which I totally understand. Hopefully, that's the case & it's not just an establishment rule that was disrespectfully thrust at our table. It wasn't even the server who we had worked with the entire meal but someone else. Honestly at that point we were just waiting on the server to come back so we could ask for the bill anyway.
The way it was communicated was abrupt & embarrassing. Not at all on par with expectations of a restaurant of this caliber. Nobody gave us a heads up & even took a dessert order shortly before this happened. It was handled so poorly by the staff & honestly ruined & otherwise fantastic dinner.
For the cost of dinner I expected way more respect from the staff. Really poor form. We loved the dinner & now will likely never go back after that incident.
