UBU Lounge specializes not just in sushi, but offers a “fresh take on traditional Asian” cuisine. While we were there for the sushi, we noticed that they had a number of other dishes if... more
I actually had a very terrible experience while at uBu. The service was fine but not great. The food was way too overpriced, especially for the amount of food given. I could have had better food, more food and an overall better experience for much cheaper. For these reasons I would be crazy to ever chose to eat here again.
I'm not a big sushi person, but Ubu manages to bring it to a place that makes it very palatable to me. Contrary to some of the other reviews, we really enjoyed it! It's website calls it Asian 'avant garde' and that is what it is! Not only are there the traditional sushi offerings, their Roasted Duck Rolls - with... more
Yum, I love raw oysters. I especially love them when they’re one dolla. Ubu’s oysters were fresh and briny. I’m pretty sure they’re shucked to order!
Absolute worst place to host an event. Someone came out to the line to say they were at capacity before it even began and told us at the front that the end will figure it out themselves.
We went to UBU for dinner. A table was leaving as we arrived so our party of 4 were the only customers. Two of our group are vegetarians who identified themselves as such and ordered accordingly. The waitress brought their soup and then two flatbread orders that she presented as the vegetarian order. When they had finished eating, and my... more
We wanted to try this place based on some recommendations and hype. It came highly recommended and we like the location.
What a disappointment!! We found the food unimaginative, tasteless sometimes. Nicely presented, but then such a let-down in taste. We had a variety of dishes, all of which I've forgotten now.
When we left the restaurant, we made a...

I ate here a little while ago and I was really pleased with the dim lighting and relaxed atmosphere in the reservation side of the restaurant... The food was pretty good BUT the prices were too high, and the portions were really tiny.After I finished my cali rolls, I was looking around the table for my salmon sashimi.. When I saw the tiny shavings of salmon on the huge serving plate across the... more
I was very disappointed with my lunch. Even though the food was tasty, spending $42 (just me) and being barely full is just unacceptable. I want to vote “not like” based on the cost and... more
We were expecting brilliant Japanese food, basednon CBC review.and it was pretty average. Tuna tataki was very sweet with ketchup in sauce. Gyoza unremarkable. Service was good but front of house very poor with a few phone calls to get reservations unanswered. Finally got a reservation through Open Table. Ended up on a Friday night with their dinner and pathetic... more
Had dinner there with a bunch of friends for a birthday. Food was really really good but the service was lacking!! Our server was not the issue - she was great, but the food was unbelievably slow. It took an hour to get appetizers, and half of our table was still waiting for food when the other half was almost finished eating. I'd try the restaurant again in a smaller group just to seeIf this... more
UBU is a great place for drinks and dancing at night located in the historic Theater which also houses Sociale Bar & Grille and Parker House Grill on 6th Avenue. A great girlfriend and I... more
Based on some of the reviews on here, I was expecting to be disappointed. NOT the case. I went for dinner with a group of 6 girls on Saturday, Dec. 17. The service was outstanding and the food was delicious. Wicked wings. Sushi rolls were good. First time seeing lobster corn dog on a menu... DELICIOUS and well presented. The place was almost empty when we got there (6:30) but full when we left... more
Love the lighting and the textures in the architecture. It provided a great backdrop for the food. The food was AWESOME! Had the Dynamite roll and the bento lunch special. Also had the Tuna and Salmon Sashimi. Everything was exquistly presented and fresh.
