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.
This place has a nice Japanese pub vibe - the decor really reminds you of Tokyo. I wish I would've taken more pictures, but overall I had a good time here! The food & drinks were good, I had fried ramen & ribs. A few of my friends didn't love their meal, so it can be hit or miss.
Nourriture pleine de saveurs, belles présentations, service attentionné, intéressantes suggestions du serveur. Une expérience que nous répéterons assurément.

Nous avons passé un super bon moment. Nos plats étaient excellents, le service attentionné & belle ambiance. Nous y retournerons, merci à Joel notre serveur que nous avons adoré!
Nous avons été servis par Viviane qui a fait un accompagnement exemplaire. Son professionnalisme accompagné de son sourire, sa bonne humeur & son dynamisme nous ont permis d'avoir une soirée parfaite !
Ce n'est pas la prmeière fois que nous venons & nous appréciions toujours notre visite. Par contre les portions étaient plus petites qu'à l'habitude, assez pour être observé. Ça nous à déçus puisque nous sommes des habitués. Sinon le tout est toujours agréable.
