Beautiful restaurant, amazing service, there’s a coat check and the waiters are super nice. Went to try out the Yubari blue for two. I was initially in awe as the presentation was beautiful and the food looked amazing. I was happy to find fish that isn’t common to see in sushi places in Montreal like otoro and chutoro which are some of my favorites. The crab roll was our favorite!! The mackerel sashimi had a bit of a bloody taste but everything else was great. Best quality I’ve had yet in Montreal sushi places, the uni was the best I’ve had including my Japan trip!!! My only complaint is that I felt the Yubari blue was way too rich, there were lots of fatty fishes and almost nothing to balance it out. This made us feel a bit sick right after the meal but fine the day after. Overall food quality is unmatched, the restaurant is beautiful, flavors are good, everything is great.

This place is simply amazing! Brought my date and had a fantastic time , from being welcomed at the front desk of Hotel St Paul to the host and the barman. The barman name is ether Didier or Olivier , this guy knows whats good and treated us with great advice ! We had the gyozas, the wagyu burgers , edamame and the chef tasting experience. Cocktails , food was a true culinary experience! Thank you!!

I had the pleasure of dining at Yubari last night with my partner, and while the experience was enjoyable, it didn't quite reach the exceptional level of my initial visit. On a previous occasion, I savored the Yubari Blue for two, which I consider to be one of the menu's highlights. The nigiri pieces were, as always, delightful, but I found the maki selections to be less impressive than during my last order. I personally appreciated the Sashimi bowl, with its diverse cuts of fish. My partner, however, noted that many of the cuts were quite fatty, and felt that the flavor profiles could have been more varied, with some of the fish blending together. My first experience, I recall, offered a greater distinction in flavors. But still enjoyable nonetheless. Our evening concluded with dessert, both options of which were truly delicious. The service consistently stands out as exceptional, with all staff members being friendly and incredibly helpful. My sole reservation regarding this recent visit was an unexpected encounter where a stranger approached our table during our meal to offer flowers for sale. While it didn't detract significantly from the overall experience, it did introduce a slightly less refined element and prompted me to ponder how such an interaction was permitted within a high-end dining establishment. Should I return, I hope to find the atmosphere fully restored to a five-star standard.

Yubari has an incredible ambiance. Stylish yet comfortable, perfect for both casual lunches and special occasions. The staff are amazing: super welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind, which makes the whole experience even better. The lunch special is absolutely worth it! Great value and delicious quality that really stands out. Every dish is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. If you’re looking for good sushi and a place that truly delivers on both food and atmosphere, Yubari is definitely a spot you need to try!

Food: 9/10 I had the wagyu slider. It was delicious, well cooked, only complaint, French fry (almost like hickory sticks) needed salt. I only remembered to take a picture after the first bite. And honestly it was hard to put it down and before I knew it, I was done! Drinks: 9/10 yuzu margarita. Pretty good, just a little too tarte for my liking. Aesthetic: 10/10 lighting, decor, seating, glassware, I personally loved it all! The bar was stunning, tables were perfectly placed. Again 10/10. Prices: my bill came out to being 50$ or so before tip so I think it’s not too bad. Especially given the over all experience was worth way more than $50 in my opinion. Service: everyone was fantastic. So kind, happy and professional. Definitely appreciate their amazing attitudes and recommendations! Overall: If you’re in old port, looking for some Japanese inspired cuisine I definitely recommend Yubari. Thanks for a memorable meal!
