Iru Izakaya serves a diverse array of Japanese tapas designed for communal consumption within a focused culinary framework. The menu highlights small plates that emphasize the intersection of traditional techniques and modern Asian flavor profiles. Diners encounter meticulously prepared sashimi, grilled yakitori skewers, and creative sushi rolls that demonstrate technical precision. The culinary approach centers on the balance of textures and the use of seasonal ingredients to build depth in every dish. These plates encourage a shared experience that reflects the vibrant nature of authentic izakaya culture. The interior design mirrors this philosophy by providing a clean, functional space that centers the guest experience on the progression of flavors. Each preparation follows rigorous standards to ensure consistency across the entire selection of cooked and raw offerings available throughout the service.
Iru Izakaya is generally regarded as a vibrant and highly enjoyable destination for those seeking a unique dining experience, with many patrons praising the delicious, flavor-packed dishes and the beautifully presented shared plates. While the atmosphere is frequently described as lively, festive, and perfect for groups, some guests find the environment quite loud or occasionally rushed due to time limits on reservations. Service quality receives mixed feedback; many visitors highlight exceptional, attentive, and professional interactions that made their celebrations memorable, while others report inconsistent pacing, long wait times, or instances of inattentive staff. Although pricing is often perceived as high and portions relatively small, the majority of diners appreciate the quality of the food and the creative cocktail menu, making it a popular recommendation for special occasions despite occasional issues with parking and temperature control.
I have eaten here 3 times now. Once for a work group lunch, & date night & most recently a family birthday & I can sat with absolute certainty that there will be more! It fits all occasions. The staff is not only SUPER friendly, they are very well versed & informed for the food & Sake menu (Which we always needs help with as total amateurs). In all 3 of these occasions, every person sitting has loved their dish. We have tried so many things & never been disappointed. Even if something isn't our preference or wouldn't have again, it was never due to the taste or quality of food. It always gets to the table so fresh & with lovely high end presentation. The drink selection & quality, with or with out alcohol was amazing! The only feedback I would give, which is in part maybe our lack of asking, but we did not realise there was a kids meal! Again, maybe we totally missed it but I could not recall seeing it. But now I know & will go back with the whole family for a try! Lastly, it can get pricing so if you are on a budget you can totally find reasonable dishes but maybe avoid the Tapas & Sake menu & go with the Ramen dishes.
J'y suis alle recemment & j'ai ete un peu decu. Les ramens etaient ok, mais tres chers & ils mettent du porc hache & du maïs en canne quand on est en pleine saison. Ca me derange pas de payer cher mais je veux en avoir pour mon argent.
Le service etait super sympathique mais tres lent. Je suis content d'avoir essaye mais je je suis pas sur d'y retourne
Très déçue de mon expérience.
J'ai commandé les ramen au porc & les nouilles étaient tellement trop cuites qu'elles étaient complètement pâteuses. C'était franchement désagréable à manger. J'ai aussi pris un bol de riz au canard, mais il n'y avait pas de canard & le plat indiquait des brocolis chinois, qui étaient également absents aucunement goûteux .
J'ai également commandé le cocktail du jour, qui goûtait uniquement le sirop sucré, sans équilibre ni saveur. C'était très décevant.
Les clients à côté de nous ont commandé des sushis, des dumplings & des ramen, mais ils n'ont pratiquement rien mangé & sont partis
Pratiquement après avoir reçu leur repas!!
Je ne retournerai malheureusement pas à ce restaurant & je ne le recommande vraiment pas.

Très bon restaurant asiatique ! Nous avons mangé un ramen au canard ainsi que des nouilles au poulet & au bacon, & tout était délicieux. Nous avons également mangé dans la terrasse.
Je recommande cette adresse. Il y a un large choix de boisson & de saké.
Petit point à noter : le stationnement peut être un peu compliqué. Il existe toutefois un parking un peu plus loin, qui sert également aux usagers du REM situé à proximité du restaurant.
Uber eats messed up my bogo, & they said they could not help. Very dissapointed, could simply have made another ramen but decided to go with the'NeEd To DeAL WiTh UbEr'
same price for both, just 2 company not willing to help a customer out. Will spend my money elsewhere in the future
Quelle belle découverte à Brossard! Nous avons passé une soirée mémorable avec des plats aussi beaux que bons. La présentation des sushis au saumon était particulièrement soignée & colorée.
Le ramen était également délicieux avec ses oeufs parfaitement cuits. C'est une adresse que je recommande vivement pour la qualité de la cuisine & l'ambiance. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter.
This place is great for people who eat meat, but there are very limited options for vegetarians or vegans when it comes to main dishes. Even if you request simple substitutions-like replacing meat with tofu or adding an extra egg-they're not very accommodating. They're willing to remove items, but any replacement comes with an additional charge.
I was also disappointed to see that they don't offer any vegetarian ramen options, & even the broths are beef-based.
Visited last night with family & friends. Despite the restaurant not being busy, we waited more than an hour for our food. Overall, the quality didn't meet expectations for its price. the Iru ramen was overly salty, & the mazemen was surprisingly sweet. All 5 of us did not finished our plate. Wont go back
J'ai commandé un ramen en livraison, il était incroyable. L'experience culinaire surpassait mes attentes, j'ai hate de venir essayer vos repas sur place 🙌
