Reviews describe Yubari as a stylish, intimate Japanese restaurant in Montreal's Old Port with a refined vibe, low lighting, and a DJ that adds a lounge energy without overpowering conversations. The food is consistently praised for freshness and presentation, with favorites including sushi, sashimi, wagyu dishes, and creative specials, along with standout cocktails and a lunch menu that offers good value for the quality. Service is often described as attentive and friendly, though some visits note inconsistent experiences, tight pacing or overbooking, occasional rude interactions, and prices that can feel steep. Overall, Yubari is seen as a high end, versatile dining destination ideal for celebrations, dates, or a chic night out, delivering strong food and atmosphere even if a few visits diverge in service or value.
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.
Beautiful food in a beautiful atmosphere. Lovely selection of food & drinks all the way from apps to mains. Thank you for an exquisite experience in the old port.
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.

Service & food were excellent! The staff were incredible & we were appreciative of the attention my wife & son received for their birthdays. Thank you for a memorable evening!
Spent my birthday there & got an amazing service from Sabrine & Lena! The food is really good & fresh. The atmosphere is gorgeous! Would definitely go back
Le service est excellent. La serveuse connaissait le menu par coeur. J'avais demandé un tables tranquil & ils ont répondu à ma demande ce qui est très apprécié.
Cependant je n'ai pas trouvé que les sushis étaient si extraordinaires. Délicieux, oui mais chers, car vous payez le premium du Vieux-Montréal & de resto d'hotel. Je recommande pour les touristes qui visitent & veulent absolument manger dans le Vieux-Montreal.
