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.

J'ai adoré mon expérience au Yubari dans le cadre festif de mon anniversaire ! Le service était incroyable, à l'écoute & très agréable. Petite mention spéciale pour Brayan, qui nous a particulièrement bien servis, mes invités & moi. Ce moment a été encore meilleur grâce à la nourriture délicieuse & à l'ambiance parfaite : la musique n'était pas trop forte & il n'y avait pas beaucoup de monde. Merci encore, Yubari !

Ambiance is great though place was empty. Food is good though so overpriced. Staff recommends the most expensive options as their own recommandations. it feels pushy

I came here to celebrate my birthday, & honestly, I was really disappointed with the service. Before our reservation, I even called the restaurant to ask if I could bring my own cake, & they said yes, no mention of any extra fees. Once we got there, the waitress serving us was rude right from the start.
When it came time for the cake, she told us (in a very unpleasant tone) that it's either a $5 fee per person or'you can take your cake & go home to cut it.' Who even says that to a guest? It completely ruined the mood. We would've understood a fee if they had communicated it beforehand, but the attitude & lack of professionalism were unacceptable.
What's even worse is that when I later read the bad reviews, I noticed that many people had the exact same experience. The same rude waitress, same issue with birthdays, & the same kind of attitude.
To top it off, whenever I spoke to her in English, she kept replying in French in a really obnoxious way, even though she clearly understood me. Overall, this was such a disappointing experience for a special occasion, & I definitely wouldn't recommend this place for any celebration

J'ai organisé le lancement de mon livre avec Yubari & franchement, j'ai eu QUE des bons commentaires de mes invités, notamment quant au service (merci à Guillaume Rudloff, Tristan Dagenais, ainsi que l'autre Guillaume de l'hôtel!). Plusieurs de mes invités ont dit que les petites bouchées étaient particulièrement bonnes. Très belle ambiance.
