A very chic & elegant restaurant in Old port Montreal! It features authentic Japanese cuisine with a twist of Asian & French influences & fresh ingredients flown in from Japan.
The prices for sushi ranges from 20$ to 170$. The place is not cheap. However, this pricing is justified by the exceptional quality of the ingredients used.
To drink, you'll find an excellent selection of signature cocktails with Asian influences & bold flavors.
It's an ideal place to visit for a gathering, business lunch/dinner or a date night!
Highly recommended 👌View more

I recently spent the weekend in Montreal with the girls for a little getaway. On our first night, we had dinner at Yubari, a sleek Japanese restaurant known for its fresh, authentic sushi. The vibes were immaculate-chic yet cozy, perfect for everything from a casual night out to a celebratory dinner. Our waitress was a gem-super sweet, attentive, & incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, which made our experience even better.
We ordered their edamame, salmon tacos, crispy rice, sashimi platter (12pcs) & their Yubari signature rolls.
Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, & the presentation of each dish was stunning-almost too pretty to eat. The edamame was coated in truffle, giving it a rich, earthy twist that elevated it far beyond the usual appetizer. It practically melted in my mouth. The sashimi & Yubari signature rolls were incredibly fresh, each bite packed with clean, balanced flavors. But the standout for me was the crispy rice-topped with Bluefin tuna tartare, a touch of mujjol caviar, lemon zest, & a drizzle of unagi sauce. The contrast of textures & flavors made every bite burst with richness, brightness, & just the right hint of sweetness.View more

One of the best sushi places I've been too.
The service was quick & our waitress was super nice.
The sushis were so fresh, melts in your mouth. They were all amazing. I dont know what else to say other then amazing food.
The only thing is I dont really recommend to get the short rib, it wasnt really fall of the bone & didn't taste the best. The meat was abut tough.
The ambience is nice & dark, there's was a DJ on saturday when we went.
But if you are a big fan of sushi this place is a must in the Old Port.View more

After a year since its big, lavish opening party, we were excited to finally check it out for ourselves. However, what we found left us a bit confused.
We started with a couple of sushi rolls, which were decent but didn't justify their high price tag. The octopus was well-cooked, with admittedly creative flavors, yet it still fell a little flat.
The standout item for us was the mini wagyu burger, which had a taste & quality that surpassed everything else we sampled. We joked that they should consider opening a burger joint (seriously, do it; I'd come to that).
They also offer a variety of additional items like dumplings, fried rice, & various entrées & meats.
The lively atmosphere, complete with a DJ & leopard-print banquettes, gave off a vibe more suited for a nightlife spot than a restaurant focused on quality cuisine.
The decor featured some nice Japanese-inspired touches, like a bonsai tree, but the combination of higher-class restaurant pricing, an underwhelming & scattered menu, & a nightlife vibe made the whole thing feel misaligned. Even their website emphasizes a visual experience over taste, & unfortunately, that was reflected in our visit. It seems they are more focused on the experience than delivering exceptional food, which is a critical miss for a restaurant of this caliber in that area.
While we still enjoyed our time on some level, & the service was very quick & friendly, we feel they need to find a clearer direction in both their offerings & priorities.View more

Bel endroit, nourriture excellente & service impeccable. L'emplacement du restaurant est un peu plate, mais l'ambiance à l'intérieur vous le fait oublier. Le restaurant est très beau. J'aurais aimé y être de soir quand le restaurant est plein pour vivre la pleine expérience, mais à cause d'un spectacle nous avons dû y aller à 17h30. Le resto était vide à cette heure donc l'ambiance n'était pas au rendez-vous, à essayer plus tard en soirée! Les employés étaient serviables, sympathiques & très efficaces, voir même trop pour nous qui avions mentionné vouloir prendre notre temps & ne pas tout recevoir en même temps. Nos plats nous ont été servis en deux services distincts. En moins d'une heure s'en était fini. Nous aurions aimé un service moins expéditif, mais étant donné l'heure & le restaurant vide, je comprends que les commandes sortaient vite. Donc je recommande si vous êtes pressés! Tout était très bon. Salade de mangue/papaye super rafraichissante, dumplings gyoza très bon, bao bun gourmand, makis excellents & créatifs & le riz croustillant était un délice. Je ne suis pas prêt à dire que ça vaut le prix car ça reste tout de même très cher comme endroit (une moyenne de 38$ pour 8 makis de format hosomaki, j'ai rarement vu ça), mais je recommande de l'essayer au moins une fois. En résumé, c'est à essayer, vous ne serez certainement pas déçu, mais vous retournerez probablement à votre endroit préféré de sushis un peu moins cher la prochaine fois.View more

Went on a date, I reserved a quiet table for 2 at 8 After being seated the server noticed we were not happy with our table so she happily decided to move us. Sarah was absolutely fantastic, being the only server for the entire restaurant which was busy enough for easily 2, she was on point. Great service, great energy & personality, very professional & awesome. I am definitely coming back especially for her & the bus girl that was working as well, I'm upset her name slipped my mind. Cute, bubly & super nice. Cocktail(Slipper)was great, although they did not have the sake I wanted in stock Sarah suggested the next best thing even though it wasn't in the same palate. Sushi was great although I was not really impressed with the nigiri & the Usuzukuri salmon. The Kanbina & the tuna futomaki was top notch. Vibe was great, hard to find a place that has all 3 aspects: good service, good food & music & not to mention great design by my friend Italo(Anonymus Concepts)View more

A Culinary Gem in Montreal: Yubari
Yubari is an unforgettable journey into the heart of Japanese culinary excellence. It's been years since I last encountered fish this fresh; the only comparable experience was in Japan itself. The exquisite quality of their seafood speaks volumes about their dedication to authenticity & excellence.
What truly sets Yubari apart is their unique variety of prime-quality fish, skillfully paired with creative ingredients & presented with artistic precision. Each dish is a testament to the unmatched talent of their sushi chef, Marcelo, whose craftsmanship elevates every piece of sushi into a work of art. From the melt-in-your-mouth makis to the impeccable nigiris, every bite at Yubari is a symphony of flavors & textures.
& the experience doesn't stop at the sushi. The bar is helmed by the exceptional bartender, Patrick, whose mastery over mixology is nothing short of impressive. Every drink is crafted to perfection, adding another layer of delight to the dining experience.
Other remarkable aspect about Yubari is their seamless operation. You can feel the harmony & positivity radiating between the staff, chefs, & management, creating an inviting & vibrant atmosphere that enhances every moment spent there.
While Montreal is home to several great sushi spots, none quite compare to Yubari's level of sophistication & quality. It's truly a must-visit for anyone craving an unparalleled Japanese dining experience. Bravo to the entire Yubari team-you've set a new standard of excellence!View more

My wife & I spent 4 days visiting Montreal for the holidays, & this was out favorite restaurant. YUBARI (found inside a hotel) is a Japanese restaurant with a wonderful wood-slat decor, dim ambiance, & beautiful bar. The seats were comfortable, the music was unintrusive, & the hosts collected our Jackets which was really nice on a cold/snowy day. We ordered the wagyu mini burger, two sushi rolls, fried rice, & two desserts. The true star was the sushi as the Maori Tai & Yubari signature were both outstanding. The flavors, textures, & even the foods temperature were all perfect. Regarding service, our server was very friendly & gave great recommendations. He had his hands full with some larger tables but still made sure to check in. The food times were a bit long, but nothing crazy. Our favorite person there was absolutely Anita. She probably poured us a gallon of water, & had fun doing it! what a vibrant & lovely person. We really enjoyed chatting with her & she really changed our experience from a fabulous meal to a fantastic outing. overall, if your in this part of Montreal, id say this is a no brainer! Stop by for some great food, quiet luxurious atmosphere, attentive service, & a good time. Be warned however, it is not cheap! If you come hungry its easy to spend 100+$ a person, so if budget is a problem, save it for a special Occassion it'll be worth the wait.View more

Nous sommes allés hier (mercredi 4 décembre 2024) & l'expérience a juste été incroyable ! Des explosions de saveurs dans notre bouche, juste insane ! L'ambiance, le service était bons, l'endroit vraiment beau! Mais la nourriture, juste wow !!! Nous avons pris: Edamames à la truffe (vraiment trop bon!) & vapeur. Poulet Yakitori & mini burger Wagyu. Ce fut de très belles découvertes pour tout le monde à table! Mes amis ont pris des Sashimi, des Nigiri & autres sushis, la présentation était vraiment belle! Les bouchées étaient vraiment bonnes! Nous avons tous pris un Sashimi Wagyu, c'était INSANE dans la bouche ! Personnellement, le riz frit au canard braisé m'attirait énormément & je n'ai pas été déçue ! Je vous recommende d'essayer au moins une fois, c'était vraiment très bon! J'y retournerai certainement :DView more

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!View more
