I've been to Biiru a few times now for both work dinners or out with friends. Every time has been an amazing experience. Staff is on point & actually takes the time to check in & make sure you're having a good experience. Food wise incredible especially for the price. Each dish has amazing sauces & is full of flavour & has some slight twist on traditional Japanese izakaya food.

Update:

Going back a year later, the food & service are just as good. Will helped us tonight & had strong recommendations, including the haru karaage, okonomiyaki, unagi skewers, pork ribs, salmon bonbons, & more. Amazing dinner.

Superbe expérience. Grosse ambiance, super service, bonne nourriture. On ne ferait vraiment pas mieux à la maison. Apportez une petite veste, il faisait froid. Double gin-soda vraiment trop cher @25$ +tx & pourboire. À éviter.

Biiru est un restaurant japonais très convivial où on peut tester une bonne partie de la carte, mettre le tout au centre de la table & passer un excellent moment. Les différentes assiettes en format tapas sont délicieuses. Les côtes de porc & le karaage sont un must à cet endroit.
