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.
Service un peu long entre les différents plats (entrées, plat principal, dessert). Un peu trop salé le ramen sauté aux fruits de mer. Serveurs gentils & attentifs.
1ere visite à ce restaurant, & ce ne sera pas la dernière!!!
Excellente nourriture & excellent service. Nous étions 4 & nous avons découvert plusieurs plats grâce au partage!!! Notre serveuse nous a grandement conseillé sur les plats à déguster. Ce fut une réussîte.
Le décor & l'ambiance sont fantastiques, & même les toilettes sont inusitées...
Nous y retournerons bientôt.
Tout était délicieux. Service impeccable & très amical. Par contre, si on prend la formule "tapas" le tout est assez dispendieux. Notre facture s'est élevé à $200 & nous avions encore faim.
It was quite busy (Friday night around 6pm) & our waitress didn't write our order down. As a result, of the 4 entrees to share that we ordered, 2 of them ended up being the wrong ones. However the food was very good & I would go back though maybe not a Friday or Saturday night.
