Reviews / Ratings for Yakitori Hibahihi
I visited on Friday night around 7:30 PM. I understand it was busy, but the service was very inconsistent and frustrating. One staff member told me takeaway was available, so I waited about 10 minutes. However, another staff member (who was handling the entrance/takeaway requests at that time) then told me it was not possible, and that no seats were available due to full reservations. When I asked a simple question about whether takeaway or seating would be possible on another day, this staff member tried to cut off the conversation and prioritised other customers without answering clearly, while also assuming I was asking about availability for the same day. I had to insist on getting a basic answer. Overall, the issue was not the lack of availability, but the dismissive attitude and lack of clear communication. I hope the team can improve consistency and customer interaction.
An excellent option for a (almost authentic) yakitori place in Montréal. If this city needed something more, this place feels like a breath of fresh air!
Experience wise it’s what Montreal is missing, exotic, charcoal smells amazing . Food wise it’s bit mediocre considering the price. especially on the chicken part, should be more juicy however it’s bit dry, beef is beautiful, prawns are good. Service is not to the point, when a sauce is house radishes meaning very spicy you would expect some warning from the waitress, but, no.
Kitano and Imaizumi have done it again. Truly. What I loved the most about Kitano Shokudo is sort of the theatrics of it. Or I guess the lack of theatrics? I'm not sure. The way all of it feels raw but we get to see all of it. Maybe I'm just a fan boy at this point but seriously, this place is on par with high-end yakitori spots I've been to in Tokyo. Heavily recommend. Get a seat at the bar and enjoy getting wafted with the chicken-y binchotan smoke. Can you guys add negima to the menu? That's my favourite. Good job.
We chose the restaurant based on reviews. Yet the food was disappointing: Karaage had no crunch and was very oily, the shio ramen had no flavor (which is a feat) but lots of oil, the chicken wings were “soft baked” I guess and very oily. I ate at numerous yakitori around Japan, I don’t know if there was an issue tonight, but the food we had had nothing to do with yakitori. Service was okay. A bit too present (waitress extending her hand from behind me and right besides my face to feel my can on the table) or expeditious at times. The place is beautifully decorated and the pictures don’t do justice to the design work they put in. So I can’t recommend for anything else but (expensive) vibes.
good music & service food was very disappointing
Best yakitori experience in Montreal NO CAP 🧢 Everything was delicious, service was perfect, the dessert kicked my ass, definitely going back soon
Truly a phenomenal experience from start to finish. Staff was so kind and inviting, the food was just insane, and the wine selection was good! The sashimi was some of the best I've ever had.
You can see everything was thoughtful, the decor, the hot towel before eating, the music, the food was presented so well. Each dish they introduce it with passion to let us know how it works. Wow, I’ll definitely come back to try more food with friend’s & family
I always enjoy the food when Hiroshi or Hide are involved. I got lucky with 2 seats being available when I walked in without a reservation.
❤️🔥
Fried chicken skin is amazing, friendly staff and good vibe, a good spot to hang out with people
A little pricey but great food
This place is a gem! From the minute you walk in you are met with smiles and warmth and a beautiful decor. The sake and wine list is great! Multiple portion options available. The menu is exactly what you want from a yakitori restaurant with cold and hot sides and even the chef’s trademark sashimi bowls and ramen! Every skewer we tasted was perfection and the Maguro dish is out of this world!!! Chutoro available too is heaven. Desserts are light and delicious to end the meal!! You leave already planning and craving your next meal there! Long live Hibahihi and chef Hiroshi!!!!! Thank you team!
Legit.
Great service and atmosphere, we love the concept! But sadly the food was disappointing. All of the yakitori we tried lacked the char, felt almost undercooked, and missed the charm that defines good yakitori.
Staff is amazing! Highly recommend
Super friendly, food was amazing and the vibe is elite. It’s not cheap but aye you pay for a great experience and food👌🏿
It’s good for drink and chill, food is normal, some is not that good . chirashi ,rice too dry and sour, chicken liver is too raw with me…
Best experience ever. I recommend going there if you want to drink some amazing unusual sake. The food was literally the best. I recommend any sashimi especially the chef’s choice plate and the yakitori. Potato salad, yum. The service is attentive and charming. I want to go back again and again! If you are looking for an intimate authentic japanese restaurant this is the place to go.
We loved our experience here. Delicious plates, great service and the place is a total vibe. Comfortable, well ventilated, great recommendations from the staff and overall a 10/10 date spot.
The best yakitori I’ve ever had. Exceptional service (India was divine and very hospitable & knowledgeable), the vibe was perfectly upbeat and chill, and the food was six stars out of five. Definitely a gem and worth coming back over and over
Yakitori Hibahihi is an absolute gem. The atmosphere is warm and intimate, perfect for a relaxed evening or a special night out. Every skewer was expertly grilled—tender, flavorful, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The balance of smoky char and seasoning was spot on. Our experience was made even better by our server, Flavie, who was incredibly likeable, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Her recommendations were spot-on, and she made us feel truly well taken care of without ever being intrusive. You can really feel the care and authenticity behind every dish and the service. If you’re looking for exceptional yakitori, great vibes, and a memorable dining experience, Yakitori Hibahihi is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back.
The service was excellent. The food was decent, but not quite what I expected. That said, I really enjoy their egg salads and drinks. However, the prices are a bit high compared to the overall quality. Still, if you’re curious to try yakitori, it’s worth giving it a chance
