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.
Merveilleuse découverte! La nourriture & l'ambiance sont super! Ce qui nous a le plus marqué est le service. Le sourire d'Annabelle & des serveurs qui connaissent les numéros de clients...WoW!
J'ai vraiment aimé l'ambiance. J'ai emmené mon copain souper pour sa fête & c'était super. Bon environnement. C'était un lundi après-midi donc il n'y avait pas beaucoup de monde. Super bon service, la serveuse était très gentille! La nourriture est excellente ça nous a surprise :)

Excellente cuisine japonaise.
Nous avons réservé 3 semaines à l'avance & la table demandée ne nous a pas été accordée...
J'aurais apprécié la confirmation de leur part AVANT notre arrivée. Je comprends que c'est possible qu'elle ait déjà été réservée, mais juste de le mentionner au client lors de la réservation aurait été plus respectueux envers le client....
Excellent restaurant , les tapas sont délicieux & coup de coeur pour les huîtres gratinées au miso. Très bon service & beau décor . Dans mes Top Restos asiatiques .
The place was so prettyyy(I would recommend going during the evening or night )I loved the dumplings, my waitress was the besttt she was so sweet & respectful she was probably the highlight of my night, the food did take some time to come in but again it was a busy night so I understand, plus the view kept me occupied , would definitely recommend.
