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.

I absolutely loved everything about this restaurant! I had been wanting to try it for a while, & I finally got the chance to visit for a friend's birthday.

The atmosphere was fantastic, the décor was stunning, & every detail was beautifully thought out. The food was excellent, & I was impressed by how diverse the menu was, there's truly something for every taste. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, going on a date, or simply looking for a great dining experience, this is a beautiful spot that I would highly recommend.

Bon service.. mais je ne peux pas croire que c'est noté 4.6 ⭐? l'endroit & le vibes est super mais la cuisine n'est pas au Rdvs ! Pour les vrai connaisseurs on parle de tape à l'oeil ici ;)

Rapport qualité prix très dérisoire !!

Voir même aucun sens.

Aller au sushi hidden fish ou kazumi !!

Appreciate the restaurant owner/team for taking the time to respond to my review professionally & respectfully. I do want to acknowledge that the restaurant handled the feedback well & showed that they care about customer satisfaction.

I ordered takeout from this restaurant, so my rating is really based only on the food itself & not the presentation, atmosphere, or dine-in experience. I do want to mention though that the service staff were very friendly & polite during pickup.

I ordered two items: the Yubari salad & the Unaguro maki roll.

The Unaguro roll tasted good, but not exceptionally memorable, especially considering the price. I also noticed that what I received did not fully match the description on the restaurant's website. The menu mentioned pickled carrots & sprouts, but I only saw cucumbers in the roll instead of picketed carrot & could not find any sprouts at all. Because of that, & factoring in the price point, I would personally rate this item around 4 stars on its own.

The bigger issue for me was the Yubari salad. It tasted quite salty even before I added the dressing that came with it. After trying just a small amount of the dressing, the salad became even saltier & was honestly too salty for my taste. I'm not sure if the saltiness came from the vegetable preparation process, such as salting the cucumbers to draw out moisture, but the overall result was much saltier than I expected.

Taking both items together into consideration, I think I can only give the food an overall 3-star experience from the food alone itself.

Good service & entertainment - food was lacking, our yakitori chicken was slightly underdone. Seems to be a location more for vibes vs. culinary experience. Recommend for drinks only.

Yubari is an amazing restaurant that exceeded mine & my friends expectations! The staff are extremely accommodating, & do everything to make you feel welcome & taken care of. When I asked to switch tables to a more comfortable spot, they promptly did so. Everything we ordered was delicious & very flavourful. The decor & vibe is beautiful & amazing! The service is impeccable! This local neighborhood gem became one of my favorite places for Japanese cuisine & I recommend them to all friends & clients of my business. Yubari is a great example of how a high end restaurant should be run. Cannot wait to return 😊
