Yubari is widely celebrated as a premier destination in Old Montreal for its high quality Japanese fusion cuisine, elegant atmosphere, and vibrant lounge energy curated by live DJs. Many patrons describe the sushi and sashimi as exceptionally fresh and beautifully presented, often highlighting standout dishes like the truffle edamame, bao buns, and premium maki rolls. While the service is frequently praised as attentive, professional, and welcoming, a segment of guests has noted occasional inconsistencies, including long wait times, challenges with reservation management, or service that felt indifferent. Although the pricing is on the higher end and some diners find the music volume quite loud, the restaurant remains a highly recommended spot for special occasions, date nights, and celebrations due to its sophisticated aesthetic and consistently flavorful menu offerings.
Love the ambience of this spot. The food is fresh & delicious & the service is on point. The various workers walking by will take it upon themselves to fill your water, bring you new plates & chopsticks between dishes & the manager is on the floor working hand in hand with the staff. Definitely recommend!
Stunning venue. The service was excellent! The food was good (keep in mind it is on the pricer side). Our highlight was one of the sushi dishes - so fresh & practically melted in your mouth.
Superbe expérience dans ce restaurant japonais ! Le service était absolument impeccable : l'équipe était attentionnée, rapide & chaleureuse. Chaque plat a été servi avec soin, & les explications sur les spécialités étaient très appréciées. On sent vraiment que le personnel est passionné & soucieux du bien-être des clients. Un endroit à recommander sans hésitation pour passer un excellent moment
Hello world! It's inspiring already the moment you enter the restaurant, nestled in the backdrop of Montreal's Old Port, this exceptional sushi establishment transcends the ordinary dining experience. The atmosphere envelops you in an aura of elegance & tranquility, complemented by attentive yet unobtrusive service. Great impeccable service from Brian, great aura, the confidence, very personable, & Donnahue "Donna" thank you, it shows she cares about her job, embodying what Yubari is, high-class & exclusivity... A great smile too! The meticulously curated menu showcases an exquisite array of traditional & innovative dishes, each a testament to the artistry of Japanese cuisine. I say "Bravo!" to the chefs, kisses to the chefs, they are exemplifying their dedication to serve excellence of each bites. Let's be honest, is it overpriced? Absolutely highway robbery, but it's not their fault, it's only yours! Even if you just want to get ripped off & impress your date (you better hope the night ends just how you are imagining it for the price you're going to pay) eating the same California roll just as the same as Joe Blow down the street, be my guest. Having said that, be a pro, accept your losses, shake your head in disbelief & take another sip of your cocktail, it'll make the seduction process less repugnant. Listen, the dish arrives at the table, you will be in awe, the presentation is nothing short of artistic, transforming each dish into a visual masterpiece, see photos... Right?! Not only a feast for the palate but also for the eyes. Yubari is a sanctuary for sushi aficionados & novices alike, promising an unparalleled gastronomic journey that is as intellectually stimulating as it is delightfully indulgent. I honestly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking a sophisticated MASTERPIECE EXPERIENCE in a truly private & intimate setting. Yubari is not for the fainted heart, if you're Dave Chappelle in "Half baked" this is not the joint for you!

Hier, nous avons fêté l'anniversaire de mon mari dans ce restaurant japonais, & l'expérience a été exceptionnelle! Dès notre arrivée, nous avons été accueillis chaleureusement par Brian & toute l'équipe, tous souriants & de bonne humeur. L'ambiance était magnifique, & Brian a pris soin de nous tout au long de la soirée. Il nous a guidés dans le menu, & nous avons pu explorer plusieurs sortes de makis ainsi que le poulet karaage, un vrai délice! Le dessert au chocolat en forme de sphère était aussi une belle découverte. La qualité des ingrédients, la présentation sublime, & les saveurs parfaitement équilibrées ont fait de ce moment une vraie réussite. Nous sommes ravis de notre expérience & avons hâte de revenir pour goûter d'autres spécialités. Merci pour cette belle soirée!
