This is really good. The yubu is really cool and unique. A lot of the dishes are very exciting. For the price of around $450/2 people (dinner and wine), it isn’t as competitive with other spots as I expected

ko lovely

This is the first time I have ever had such delicious food. It was the best dinner with the chef's detailed explanation. It's a perfect omakase for dates, friends, parents, etc. The service and accessibility are both excellent, and the wine selection to match the food was perfect. I highly recommend it.

tried the $75 yubu tart tasting menu and it was so delicious and very filling - and i’m someone who eats a lot so this is quite a surprise for me. every piece was packed with flavor and i love how unapologetic they were with the umami and spice. we started with fish-forward pieces and gradually moved towards the heartier meats. i enjoyed the fish pieces more as they were very refreshing, though this is probably a matter of personal preference. service was great as well - our table was delayed so they brought us to their speakeasy (outstanding!) and gave us a complimentary cocktail for the inconvenience which we greatly appreciated. the only thing i’d say is that there’s sometimes a wait between the courses - i think they might be trying to time their customers. otherwise fantastic meal and i’ll definitely go back!

I did the YubuTart Lunch Series tasting menu. It was delicious, creative, impeccable. A great experience and value. Everything was playful and tasty and full of flavour and texture. Artfully done.

Got the chef studio tasting menu. We wanted to order both the yubu tart tasting and chef studio tasting menu but everyone has to get the same one so we got the chef tasting menu. I was surprised cus I thought it was all really good. My least favorite was the skate with black truffle. It came with corn cream and corn and I didn’t think the fish, truffle, and corn went well together, but the couple next to us said they thought it paired well… we also didn’t think the oyster mojito was as good cus we like our oysters with some more acid but it was good and I loved that the oyster was small and not super meaty. My sister had a little shell in her oyster… we really enjoyed all the other dishes.

I think the chef studio tasting menu isn’t cheap or expensive while the yubu tasting menu is on the more affordable cheaper side. I do think based on the location of the restaurant it should be cheaper cus it’s not really a restaurant but a nicer food hall…

One thing I didn’t like was that on the menu it said earl grey soft serve so I was really excited cus I love their earl grey soft serve… and they didn’t tell us until the end that they don’t have earl grey and that it’s honey dew. I expected honey dew based on the pics I’ve seen and thought we were really lucky lol.. I think it’s just nice to let us know there’s a menu change.

They did offer an extra round of the honey dew soft serve so I got another round

It was really good with the sea salt. My sister said the honey dew soft serve tasted like cucumbers and we couldn’t agree more. Tasted like cucumber honey dew soft serve

Also on resy you can say why you’re there and I said birthday and it would’ve been nice for a little extra something for my sister. I noticed one of the chefs giving this other table a brown bag of things… I low key thought we would all get it lol but no nothing extra for anyone else lol… I do think those personal things make the experience so much better

The food is ok. But we came here to celebrate a special occasion and we waited for 30 minutes while we had a reservation. This ruined our experience and is just unacceptable.

OMG I have to say this is probably the best sushi restaurant I’ve ever had! ? When I arrived I thought it would just be yummy food. But my goodness it’s such an amazing unique fresh experience, they give you a variety of the best lunch. WAOOO WAOOO My favorite was the Wagu with Mushroom, Cacio and Pepe, Fluke. But I can assure you everything is divine unique fresh! If I could give them a Michelin star I would without a second thought! Any dollar I pay will be worth it! I’m going to share some pictures because really as soon as I started trying bites I forgot everything! Thanks guys Great job!♥️

pee gee

Man, do I feel like a dote for not reviewing this place after we visited back in December - despite mentioning it to several friends. Oh well, seems many others have shared about their amazing experiences in the time since. For the record, ours was no different. It was demurely spectacular.

My vote for best kept secret. If one could still call it such.

This was a delicious and fun tasting menu. Each course had a feeling of familiarity yet with a twist that made me want another bite— to decipher all the flavours i was experiencing.
I would have never thought to base an entire menu around yubu, and i think it was done well. I would have preferred some more savoury notes as quite a few dishes felt on the sweeter side.
My favourite of the yubu: the Hiramasa, maybe because it was the first one and I wasn’t expecting it. Once I got to the Korean Beef Tartare I was a little underwhelmed.

The brown butter dashi scallops, and the earl grey ice-cream were to die for. Lovely casual dining experience overall.
