Review Summary

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.

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.

Tout très bien, l'ambiance, le service, la présentation & l'originalité des plats. & aussi une très belle carte de vins & sakés.
On a quand même eu l'impression que les recettes étaient un peu'occidentalisées', mais on comprend. Puis la formule'plusieurs petites assiettes' à partager c'est amusant, mais ça finit par coûter cher.

Great Izakaya. The service is wonderful & the food is delicious but pricy. The only real complaint is the weird SAKE yell at other people's table. It truly ruins your romantic experience.

Super bon service, nous avons adoré notre première expérience au Iru.

La nourriture était excellente, quoi qu'elle aurait pu être un peu plus chaude.

Merci au serveur de nous avoir payer nos sake bomb pour nos célébrations de 8 ans de vie commune.

Nous reviendrons certainement & nous n'hésiterons pas a recommander l'endroit!
