Review Summary

Yubari is widely celebrated as an upscale destination in Old Montreal that masterfully blends high-end Japanese gastronomy with a vibrant, lounge-like atmosphere. Guests consistently praise the restaurant for its stylish decor, live DJ sets, and polished, welcoming service, making it a popular choice for birthdays, date nights, and special celebrations. While many diners find the sushi and creative fusion dishes exceptionally fresh and flavorful, opinions on the overall value are mixed, with some noting that prices are high relative to portion sizes. Although most experiences are characterized by attentive and professional care, a minority of visitors have reported inconsistencies in service speed or quality, occasionally citing loud music or issues with reservation management. Overall, it remains a go-to spot for those seeking an energetic, aesthetically stunning dining experience in a prime location.

⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐? 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 with a group of 4 people total.
Thought it looked like a good restaurant but the music was WAY too loud that we had to literally scream between us to talk. The service started normal but as time went on, the waitress kept forgetting about us. When we placed our order, we ordered edamame & they never brought it to us & they put it in the bill even though we never received them. Once we were done eating the hostess came to se us to tell us that we had to leave bc a group was waiting for a table.
We were done eating & we're waiting to pay but nobody came to see us AT ALL during our meal & after. She called someone to make us pay but in the meantime she started cleaning the table with a rag, literally on top of me, completely violating our personal space & started preparing the table for the next guests. She asked us to pay for our food outside but we refused. You could tell that the waitress that is making us pay was so embarrassed about the hostess's behaviour towards us. When asked us to pay for our food outside but we refused. You could tell that the waitress that is making us pay was so embarrassed about the hostess's behaviour towards us. When we gave her our ticket for the coats, she brought them back & literally threw it on us. Would not recommend this place for the poor service.
