“Great service and food. Its a Japanese tapas style bar. Shrimp tempura is a must try ! Loved their options in Japanese drinks - cocktails, sake and also non alcoholic. Takoyaki, gyoza, kimchi and the mackerel was great ! Also tried the duck tataki, it was succulent and very flavorful! Karrage bites were big and the sauce was amazing. It was the first time I tried hot sake and it was fun to play the cup game with the host. This place can get super busy so its best to make reservations. Fun for a big group looking forward to catching up over drinks and snacks !!“

“Yubari is a small Japanese restaurant tucked into the heart of the Old Port that delivers a surprisingly refined dining experience.

The first thing that stands out is the atmosphere. The space is compact, but the tables are thoughtfully arranged, which keeps the room from feeling crowded. The layout creates a comfortable flow where conversations remain intimate rather than drowned in noise. The low lighting adds warmth, and the presence of a live DJ gives the restaurant a subtle lounge energy without overpowering the dining experience.

The food is excellent. Each dish is carefully prepared and beautifully presented, with the kind of balance and precision you expect from a high-quality Japanese kitchen. The menu manages to feel both refined and approachable, making it easy to explore a few different plates.

Service is another highlight. The waiters and waitresses are attentive and genuinely helpful when it comes to recommendations. They guide you through the menu with confidence and enthusiasm, which makes the experience feel personal rather than transactional.

Overall, Yubari is a great spot if you are looking for excellent Japanese cuisine in a stylish but relaxed setting. The combination of outstanding food, thoughtful service, and a well-curated atmosphere makes it one of the more enjoyable dining experiences in the Old Port.“

“Been ordering from this place for quite some time. Onigiris are very full with fish and other fillings. The torched ones are my favourite (Fuji special). The only thing is that the mini ramen came in a solid block and the texture was just off (i know this is a onigiri place but still). The flavour of the broth was still pretty good and the half egg was delicious.“

“Je recommande sans hésitation !“

“très bon service ,meilleurs thés !“

“Meilleur sushi. La qualité est toujours au rendez-vous depuis ces 15 dernières années. Je le recommande sans hésiter.“

“A favorite for years
Royal Sushi is an essential address for sushi lovers, and has been for more than 10-15 years. I ordered there a good hundred times when I lived nearby, and their consistency in quality always impressed me. It is a place that has managed to retain its customers thanks to its authenticity and know-how.

The establishment is run by an incredibly friendly couple, who recognize you even after several years. Their kindness and attention to their customers makes all the difference and makes each visit or order even more pleasant. It's rare to find this level of service, especially in a neighborhood where there's no shortage of restaurants.

The sushi is always fresh, well prepared, and the value for money is really excellent. Whether for a take-out order or a meal on site, you are sure to enjoy yourself without breaking the bank. Honestly, Royal Sushi remains my absolute favorite. A place to discover and adopt without hesitation“

“ThAnd snow my kind of Japanese restaurant- no sushi at n the menu! Sure they have sashimi, and nothing against sushi per se - when it’s done as a high level food experience (almost never in the west), it’s excellent; usually, it’s fast food.

In this down tempo At Denis eatery their menu has a huge array of fair priced appetizers that are more than filling (and perfect for sharing) as well as ramen and bao and larger plates.

Their sake based cocktails and large selection of sake are impressive. And highly recommended are the grilled oyster mushrooms.

For me, attention to detail is what takes this place to another level - no ice in the water they serve you, the miso soup is dark, food is sometime served on long wooden planks for large groups. Awesome!“

“J’ai commandé un bol poké et une soupe miso avec le service de commande en ligne. Arrivé sur place, la commande m’attendait, j’ai été reçu avec un sourire dans un français impeccable (dans snowdon, ce n’est pas toujours évident)… malgré que je sois parfaitement bilingue ça fait toujours plaisir 🤩! La soupe était excellente et que dire du bol…. Miam! Généreuse portion en bonus. Deux gros « thumbs up »!“

“It was my first time here. I ordered 4 classic onigiri with different flavors. They were prepared in front of me neatly and with great attention to detail. The rice had a perfect texture, and the filling was very tasty. The man who served me was kind and friendly. Thank you very much for the pleasant service.“

“Love this restaurant so much for its variaties of sushi choices & the warm welcome of the staffs 💋💋 Definitely recommend to all my beloves & friends.“

“Absolutely amazing experience! Every single person who worked there was amazing - polite, fast, friendly. Couldn’t ask for better food or service - lovely environment 😊“

“I recently dined here and it was an absolute delight from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was inviting and calming, setting the perfect tone for our meal.Each piece was meticulously crafted, showcasing the freshest ingredients and expert technique. The variety of rolls and nigiri offered something for every palate, from classic favorites to inventive creations that pushed the boundaries of traditional sushi.Everything was delicious and Definitely coming back!“

“This sushi place is like, the little bistro on the way home that you could expect some delightful comfort food. Over the years, there’s consistency in freshness of fish and quality of cut. It is not a fancy sushi place that makes “fusion” plates, more on the simple but having good standard in all little things side. There are hot dishes on the menu too (Udon, skewers). I’ve only ordered the sashimi or sushi box for take out.“

“This is my favourite restaurant in Montreal, my special secret for myself, my one and only comfort-zone. On an exceptionally good or bad day, sitting alone at the bar eating grilled chickens and having a glass of umeshu brings me happiness. Comfort, warmth, low-lighting, the babel of people behind me, but it's never too loud or raucous. I love this place so much.“

“J’ai utilisé le système de commandes en ligne. J’arrive chez moi et je me rend compte que je n’ai pas les bons items (mauvaise saveur d’onigiris). Je leur ai écrit sur Facebook pour les avertir, et on m’a rapidement et gentiment offert de venir me livrer la bonne commande chez moi. J’ai eu les bons onigiris et un biscuit en prime. Excellent service à la clientèle, merci! P.S. ce sont les meilleurs onigiris que j’ai eu en ville 😄“
