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.

I was highly impressed! Honestly, above my expectations. The service was amazing, & they even helped us find a table that perfectly suited our needs even though it was Friday evening.
The food was incredible. Literally everything we tried was delicious. My favorite were the wagyu maki topped with foie gras - absolutely unforgettable.
Beautiful & creative design, ambient lighting, good music, & a great location. I would definitely come back:)

Food was underwhelming, the music was excessively loud, & the service needs significant improvement. We had to ask multiple times for basic items like napkins & utensils, which was frustrating. Considering the high prices, the portion sizes & quality didn't match expectations. You can find much better food, atmosphere, & service at places like Juni or Parc. Would not recommend.

Overall, nice ambiance, friendly staff, & excellent service. Most of what we ordered was good, especially the Gyosa dumplings.

The chicken karaage was a miss. It lacked flavor & tasted like plain fried chicken coated in a glaze. It could use a serious upgrade or be reconsidered as it didn't match the quality of the rest of the menu.

I'd still recommend this place.

The restaurant & ambiance is beautiful! But, the prices are WAY too high for the quality of sushi & portion sizes you get. Drinks also very expensive. You go for the experience, not expecting to eat the best sushi of your life.

A beautiful space located inside the St Paul hotel on the edge of Old Montreal.

Great selection of food & cocktails- be prepared for the prices as they can be a bit of a sticker shock (my husband's cocktail was $40 but was unique & he said it was amazing) & mine was also delicious.

Server was really helpful, she explained every dish that came out. Our highlights were the ceviche & the scallop foie gras maki roll.

A fantastic experience- reservations are suggested as the restaurant filled up quickly.
