I was excited to try this restaurant as I love the concept but was unfortunately disappointed. The taste of the food was average and despite ordering many plates, I still left the restaurent hungry. Not worth it at all for the value. The atmosphere of the restaurent and the service was good however. Overall, I would not return.
Reviews / Ratings for Yakitori Hibahihi
Very authentic but pricey. It came out to around $100 per person tax and tips included. But you're paying for quick service and truly delicious yakitori. You can really taste the char of the grill, and it's high quality charcoal that is used. (If you've been to Otto around the year 2016, you will be pleased to know the chef responsible for yakitoris there is the one who opened this restaurant.) I would definitely come again for a good time with friends.
cozy atmosphere, great for date night, foods are okay n small portions
We had such a great experience at this yakitori place! Alicia, our waitress, was incredibly sweet and made us feel so welcome from the start. She even had my husband try several different sakes, and every single one was amazing. A big thank you as well to the busboy and the hostess who kindly found us a spot last minute for 3 it was truly appreciated. The service was excellent all around, and the food was delicious. We’ll definitely be back!
The food was incredible, there wasn't anything I didn't find completely delicious. Sake selection was great and very attentive service. It's on the pricier side for sure but it feels like a high end experience.
This place is so good, such a great downtown find. Food was so good & the service was so good. Everyone was nice. Try all the skewers and matcha tiramisu ☺️
The restaurant has a nice vibe and setup. Came here for the food based on reviews and was disappointed since there no big flavour in the meats or dishes.
Amazing food, vibe and drinks. It's a bit on the pricey end. I'd give 5 stars, but our waiter wasn't wearing any deodorant and the smell was unpleasantly overpowering each time he came at the table.
delicious food 🤤🤤
Yakitori Hibahihi is a true gem. As you enter this cozy little restaurant, you can instantly feel cozy. The decor, the food, and service is absolutely fantastic. I will comeback for sure!
Its good. However, i which it sauce is sweeter but thats just my preference
Chicken skewers and beer, what more could you ask for? Yakitori Hibahihi is certainly reminiscent of a japanese eatery; the ambiance, decor and smell of charcoal-grilled food will take you back to a lively night in Tokyo. Although the food was on the pricier side, everything was delicious. Highly recommended for a fun night out with friends and family over some shared plates and drinks.
Sensational
Best skewers spot in town! Great service as well! Tried fried chicken skin appetizer and every meat skewers except for the Wagyu one and they were all delicious. The plum beer was also a really nice discovery!
I appreciated the entire experience. The team, the food, the ambiance, everything is amazing here. thanks Yakitori 💘
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.
