Review Summary

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.

Food & service was exceptional. Thank you Sandy, our server, who guided us & made the experience that much better. A bit expensive but still very much worth it for a treat. Only one thing I would tweak, the music was a bit too loud, that said, I would still go back.

Food is good, the sushi was ok, but pork & fish were better, cole slaw was fantastic. The restaurant is gorgeous. Music is very very loud, almost to the point you have to yell across the table. Maybe not the spot for a quiet dinner.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would, the food was spectacular & for someone who doesn't typically like sashimi this was by far my fave.. super fresh & not fishy! The sushi was excellent my favourite one was the wagyu but all of them were top tier. The service was great as well, my glass of water was always full & my cocktail (iced honey) was delicious & constantly replenished. The waiter was super kind & the director Karine was such a pleasure to talk to, you can tell that this place is run with not only class but love. I would definitely recommend this place for a casual evening or a big bash.

Went here with high hopes ! Although the menu is nice .. it's still a bit basic. Another copy of Nobu.. very similar to Ryu, Jatoba etc .. but still it had some nice options ! I'm a big eater / drinker .. tbh usually over 1000$ a meal . So I was ready to eat & drink & try it all . Sat down.. after being promised a nice booth when I reserved I had a table facing a mirrored wall . Hard to speak to my friends & enjoy the atmosphere .. 3 times I had to almost grab a waiter to get service .. I had questions what to order.. none of the staff knew what to answer . The food was not bad but now wow. The service honestly ruined it . My friend ordered fish as his main. Unedible.. sent it back to the kitchen for them to taste it & they came back saying it was not good & tasted terrible .. they offered to make us a new one but at this point we were ready to go .. I would have expected them to comp our entire meal .. or drinks .. or offer us drinks .. NADA The kitchen openly said our food was no good & nothing was done about this .. After dropping less than 10% of what I thought id spend here .. it was still a waste .. Just to add .. I tried to reach out to the restaurant by email, social media , phone .. & nothing!

I had high expectations but was disappointed. The sushi's didn't taste very fresh & for the price, I've definitely had better. I'd actually recommend Hidden Fish for much better quality & service. That being said, the place is cute but the music is very loud - we were shouting at each other across the table. I did really like their fried chicken though - good portion & very tender. That I'd recommend.

Un incontournable à Montréal tout a été parfait du décors très original & fantastique à la qualité du service très professionnel. La cuisine est divine on ne se moque pas du client. La présentation est digne d'une oeuvre d'art. Le moindre détail a été extrêmement bien pensé. Enfin je veux saluer la prestation hyper professionnelle de Brian le directeur du restaurant
