Restaurant Yuukai (Japanese fusion) on the popular and busy Avenue du Parc, serves affordable Japanese and Sushi dishes.
Sit back and enjoy the Maki rolls, Sushi, Sashimi and other tasty dishes on the menu and don't forget to Bring your own wine or Saké! Rare for a Montreal Japanese restaurant, but Yuukai allows diners to bring their own wine. Local Delivery as well as take-out is also available.
With its refined décor, white walls and small wooden tables, many will find it a very Zen-like atmosphere. The welcoming and friendly staff will surely make you want to visit Yuukai a second and third time.
Yuukai Sushi is widely praised for incredibly fresh fish and creative, well presented dishes, with many reviewers noting that the sashimi and nigiri are top quality and the salmon dishes especially tasty; the atmosphere is described as pleasant and welcoming, and the option to bring your own wine with a small terrace adds to the appeal; service is generally friendly and efficient, but some visits mention long waits between courses and uneven timing, with occasional lapses in attention or professionalism; while a few reviews find the menu limited and the prices high for the selection, others consider it one of the best sushi spots in Montreal and a standout in the Plateau.
Always fresh, delicious especially the salmon exotique or honestly any salmon dish. Black cod is lovely too. Friendly service. Nice to bring our own wine
Their rolls are okay, the best thing to get are the sashimi & the nigiri. Wait time for each dish was very long approx. 15-20 mins for 2 nigiris. But overall very positive
Nourriture toujours aussi bonne
Mais service nul
Je ne sais pas si c est à cause des serveurs ou de la cuisine mais nous étions 6, il s est écoulé 2h30 entre notre arrivée & la fin du repas, personne n à été servi en même temps, il y a eu des erreurs de plats & d addition, & j ai attendu 2h entre mon entrée & le plat suivant ! Ça fait 15 ans que je viens chez yukai (je venais déjà quand c était sur le trottoir d en face) & je n'avais jamais vu ça ! En plus la serveuse préférais discuter avec des copains à elle (qui ont mangé en 1h) plutôt que de s'occuper des clients
Expérience très très décevante pas certain de revenir un jour (ce qui est dommage, car c est bon !)
Despite the good reviews, I found this restaurant to be mediocre at best. We had two entrees & Sushi for 2 & it was over 300 dollars with the tip. The Gyoza were store bought & frozen, I know because I buy the same ones, & the sushi although good was very expensive & rather limited in its variety. The specials are written on the wall & difficult to see depending on where you are sitting, & the regular menu is the shortest that I have ever seen in a sushi restaurant. The plus is that it is BYOW, which saved the bill from being 500...now the service. I feel a bit apprehensive about writting this, but it has to be mentionned. The young waiter, who appears to be the son of the owner, was not very professional in his manner & what was very offputting was that he liked to lean in close to talk to you, when the restaurant was not even loud, & rested his hand on my shoulder 4 times, even when I indicated that I did not like to be touched...what was worse, & this is the part I hesitated to write about, was that the young man had an obvious hygiene problem & his breath smelled so bad that we did not want to order more in terms of dessert at the end of the meal.It was literally unbearable. He was very offputting to say the least. For the cost, the service the quality & scarcety of the menu, I unfortunately cannot recomend this restaurant, there are far better Sushi places in MontreaL.
Ce sont probablement les meilleurs sushis de la Rive-sud. Créatifs, frais & savoureux, pas seulement du riz.
Idéalement commandez à l'avance & aller les chercher à l'heure prévue.
Les sushis étaient absolument excellents - d'une fraîcheur remarquable & d'un goût exceptionnel. C'était vraiment, vraiment délicieux! On sent le soin du chef dans chaque bouchée.
Petit bémol : le service manquait un peu d'attention, & l'ambiance était plutôt fade, un peu trop calme à mon goût. J'ai connu des périodes où c'était plus animé.
Mais honnêtement, ça vaut totalement le déplacement. En plus, c'est un restaurant apportez votre vin - quelle belle formule! Le lendemain, j'avais déjà envie d'y retourner pour revivre cette expérience de sushis aussi frais. Bravo au chef!

we're here at the moment, it's not the biggest of places, but the food, the service & the atmosphere compensante for the space so much.
you're looking for fresh fish, excellent & creative recipe, try it.
Worked in many sushi restaurants in Quebec, it's definitely in the top ones I've tried .
nous y sommes à l'instant, le review ne pouvait pas attendre, le service, la qualité des aliments & la créativité des recettes vallent un review parfait.
Est-ce qu'il existe mieux, probablement, mais pour le prix, vous avez un restaurant qui offre des recettes qui ne sont pas disponibles ailleurs & qui sont excellentes, avec des aliments frais.
Service impeccable ! Sushi les plus frais que jai manger depuis un long moment ! Ambiance familiale & proche de la clientèle. À retourner lors de mon prochain détour à Montréal. Très satisfait :)
