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.
Dined in & the Journey from outside the stoic Hotel Saint Paul through the black grand doors & into the restaurant is a design lovers classic. The attraction is the people, place, & the food, all a deserving five star rating. The day of opening through to its full house capacity every night demands you book in advance. Looking forward to the restaurant critic's response to this unique experience. Bravo
Great ambiance & decor . Table wasn't ready until 25 min after our reservation & not much for vegetarian options. But it's a nice restaurant to try overall

Food was pretty good but not necessarily worth the price, & the server kept forgetting our order & missed a portion of it. The atmosphere is great, but a better place for a drink & a bite then a full meal.
New spot in Montreal!! Truly a gem! J'ai adoré mon expérience samedi soir avec Brian & Danika! Un service exceptionnel, les burger de wagyu sont out of this world! La selection de vin exceptionnel & les drinks sont excellent! Merci pour tout c'était vraiment 11/10
Menu intéressant mais les serveurs sont trop speed, ils nous enlèvent les plats alors que nous finissons de manger. 1 plat sur 2 étant réellement intéressant pour les prix (élevés). Les pétoncles dans une sauce à l'Ikura & les tacos étaient délicieux. La soupe miso, la salade d'algues & un nigiri sur deux vraiment ordinaires. L'ambiance est OK mais un peu surfaite : ça ressemble à un resto branché de la banlieue...
Incredible new spot. Must try!! The sushi was excellent! Everything we tried was tasty, fresh & amazing quality. Really loved my experience here & all the recommendations from Lou!

Excellent service !! Nous avons très bien mangé. Les plats étaient magnifiques, les sashimis délicieux & de bons choix de vins. Attention ne soyez pas surpris par les prix, c'est plus cher que ce que j'avais prévu (un peut exagéré je trouve, mais nous sommes à l'hôtel St Paul, donc pas surprenant non plus). Décoration est superbe ! Nous avons eu une belle soirée pour un anniversaire entre amis.
If I could give more stars, I would, especially for service. Shana, & the rest of the team were incredibly attentive, very personable, & took the time to make sure we understood everything, especially with the different Sake's they offer. We even had the chef come to our table to describe the sashimi premium plate we ordered, which was to die for! All the food we loved, can't go wrong. We will be back!
Had an amazing experience dining at Yubari. Both the food & the ambiance are incredible, & the servers were very attentive. All the ingredients were fresh & flavors were perfectly paired together. Sadly I don't live in Montreal otherwise I'd definitely revisit.
5 STARS by every measure. Beautiful space, perfect service, & as good or better that any sushi I've ever eaten, & that includes the US, Europe, & Japan. In addition to excellent traditional sushi, YUBARI offers original, delicious & inventive new versions of sushi I'll be returning often.

Ce restaurant japonais est une perle rare, chaque bouchée de sushi est une explosion de saveurs. Le service est digne d'une équipe de samouraïs, toujours prête à satisfaire les moindres désirs des clients. & du jeudi au samedi, les DJ font vibrer l'atmosphère, transformant chaque soirée en une fête mémorable. Une expérience culinaire & festive à ne manquer sous aucun prétexte.
The atmosphere is very nice as well as the design & the service is top notch , I would say that it's a nice spot to have a couple of drinks. Concerning the food you can see that there is good work on the presentation of the plates & also the quality of the ingredients but coming down to the taste & choices of combinations I'm not a big fan, I didn't really enjoy the taste of the sushi nor the associations.
I was very pleased when I first walked in. The decor & atmosphere were fantastic. This is in parallel with the food. The sashimi platter was so fresh. The raw fish melted in your mouth like butter. The drinks were unique & the presentation was sublime. I loved the touch of a live DJ. The hostess & the waiters were cordial & efficient. We felt very welcomed. I would definitely recommend for everyone to try. I will definitely go back.
