Overall, reviews of Iru Izakaya highlight a stylish, open kitchen vibe, fresh and flavorful dishes, and creative cocktails that guests enjoy. The menu experience and tapas style sharing are widely praised, with many finding the food inventive and well presented, and portions generous enough to share while some call the prices a bit high for the value. Service is described as attentive and friendly by many, though a few notes mention slow or uneven service during busy times and some staff variations. The atmosphere is repeatedly described as welcoming, vibrant yet cozy, with a note that parking can be challenging in some locations. Several guests celebrate special occasions with birthday desserts and sake bombs, and the wine and cocktail lists are appreciated. Vegetarian options exist but may be limited, and one vegetarian dish was noted as extremely spicy. A few noodle or ramen dishes were viewed as underwhelming, and some appetizers were considered small or pricey. Overall, Iru Izakaya seems worth a visit for those seeking a lively izakaya experience with strong flavors and a chic ambiance, with a caveat about price and occasional service inconsistency.
Le partage est un super concept, l'ambiance est génial, mais par dessus tout le service de la part de Felix est inégalable ! Ps. Coups de coeur : yakaniku 🤌🏼

Étant dans la rangé de tables entre le bar & les banquettes, c'était un peu passant, mais la cuisine était excellente & notre serveur vraiment sympathique & efficace. Les takoyakis & le gâteau au fromage valent le détour !
For the prices, I was expecting a lot more from the food. I had also heard a lot of good things from them but I was quite disappointed with the food I got. It was maybe because I ordered for delivery though, instead of just going to the restaurant. First of all, the beef from the beef bowl was overcooked, making it really chewy & not enjoyable. It was completely different from what the images showed & I couldn't enjoy it much. The noodles for the soup were also over welldone. The noodles were too soft & lost all of their fun elastic texture. The pork slices for the ramen were super fin & the edges were burnt which made it look completely unappetising. I did however enjoy their egg, it had a nice subtle marinated flavour & the broth also had great flavours.
Tres bon repas. Nous étions 4 & avec les conseils de la serveuse, nous avons choisi 8 assiettes format tapas à partager & c'etait super. Nous allons revenir c'est certain.
Great service & a cute atmosphere. I feel bad for the staff who must have grown accustomed to asking how the meal is & seeing the pained faces of too-polite Canadians gritting their teeth while saying it's "tres bien", when it should have "bien" deposited from the pot directly down a sewer drain. Broth has no flavour. Meat too salty. Instant noodles overcooked. This is ramen for people who have never eaten decent ramen. I'm concerned whoever thought this recipe was good may be suffering from long covid & hasn't actually tasted food since 2019.

Nice ambiance & decor. The staff was nice too. However, for an Asian restaurant in Brossard, it's pretty mediocre in terms of food. The food was luke warm & bland. If you want authentic ramen there are cheaper & better options in the quartier Dix30. I only recommend for a drink & if you enjoy sake.
Super ambiance, super staff, aucune prétention de personne, tout le repas fut servi en simultanée a tout notre groupe (nous étions 10), servi chaud, bien présenter & toute était délicieux. Je recommande fortement si vous êtes a la recherche ce type de cuisine sur la rive-sud. When I say SAKE you say BOMB !! ;-)
Mes attentes étaient très hautes après avoir lu les critiques. Bien, mon expérience à été bien au delà de ce à quoi je m'attendais. Une note parfaite pour la cuisine, la présentation des plats & le service. En plus, une propreté irréprochable.
