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.
My wife & I has an incredible experience at Yubari this evening. I celebrated my 40th birthday by having dinner here. It was a bit of a last minute decision & I couldnt be happier how it turned out. The entire experience blew me away.
Ariel took the best care of us throughout the entire meal. She was so friendly & an absolute delight to chat with. She was extremely helpful with menu item recommendations that were absolutely perfect for us.
It was a pleasant surprise when we arrived & realized there was a DJ playing music. His music selection was the perfect addition to enhance an already perfectly curated atmosphere.
I am very sad that we don't live in Montreal, otherwise we would be regulars here.
Thank you Yubari for an experience I won't soon forget.

Beautiful restaurant, amazing service, there's a coat check & the waiters are super nice. Went to try out the Yubari blue for two. I was initially in awe as the presentation was beautiful & the food looked amazing. I was happy to find fish that isn't common to see in sushi places in Montreal like otoro & chutoro which are some of my favorites. The crab roll was our favorite!! The mackerel sashimi had a bit of a bloody taste but everything else was great. Best quality I've had yet in Montreal sushi places, the uni was the best I've had including my Japan trip!!! My only complaint is that I felt the Yubari blue was way too rich, there were lots of fatty fishes & almost nothing to balance it out. This made us feel a bit sick right after the meal but fine the day after. Overall food quality is unmatched, the restaurant is beautiful, flavors are good, everything is great.
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.
Quelle soirée ! Nous y sommes allés entre amis, & avons pris le Yubari Blue Premium qui est un assortiment de sashimi, nigiris & makis avec des produits de la mer d'exception (homard, anguille). Le service par Alexia était absolument parfait, aux petits soins. L'ambiance est chaleureuse & intimiste. L'addition est un peu cher mais ça vaut vraiment le coup !

Me & my friend spent a lovely dinner at Yubari. The quality of the food is extraordinary. Strongly recommend the Yubari blue...fresh fish getting delivered in 3 days from Japan...hard to beat. But the experience was even better thanks to Alexia, a lovely waitress that really took care of every little things. Thank you !!! See you real soon !!!
I came here with my boyfriend for the second time after having a disappointing experience, & it was amazing, the service was great, we got treated well with hospitality by the hostess, the waitress, the runners & the manager. The whole team was supper great, after hearing about our first experience. The manager made sure that our second time at yubari was a night to remember, & he most certainly was right! The food was supper good, I definitely recommend the sushi experience.The new drink menu is 100 times better than the old one. We tried 4 different signature cocktails & every single cocktail was simply amazing & paired well with what we ate.
We are super glad we went back, & thanks to the amazing service, we will most definitely be back very soon !
