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.
Excellent restaurant & en plus on a eu un service exceptionnel. Dommage que nous avons eu un ticket de stationnement à la sortie par contre & même après avoir regardé les pancartes, rien n'est clairement indiqué.
Belle expérience culinaire & belle ambiance meme un dimanche soir. Le repas de Ramen & l'entrée de dumplings ont été nos choix préférés dans notre sélection. A essayer: la dégustation de Saké !
Superbe service de la part de Rosalie & Audrey-Anne, on a été épaté!! La nourriture & le vin étaient excellents aussi! Bravo pour l'accueil & les conseils!

The food was excellent, the dish was cooked to perfection. The display of the food was very well done on the dish. Only thing that was slightly less perfect was the grilled squid which was a little rubbery & was missing the grill marks but still a very good dish! I would absolutely tell everyone to go & eat there. Service was very professional & the waiter did explain to us that it is preferable to order multiple dishes like tapas to have a greater tasting of the food they have. The ambience inside is up to date 2020+ Japan 🇯🇵
They were incrediy accomodating, as we had someone in our group who had to eat gluten-free. The food was delicious & the neon signs were a nice touch. Strongly recommend the seafood udon, the fried chicken, the ramen & the Chahan (our gluten-free option).
