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.
Excellente cuisine! Nous avons eu la brillante idée de partager plusieurs plats. Le calmar grillé était tellement succulent & que dire des délicieux dumplings au boeuf! L'ambiance était formidable! Le service est impeccable. On va y retourner c'est sûr! Mais la prochaine fois, on va se laisser tenter par le saké ;)
Highly recommended. Grilled shrimp simply awesome. Somewhat like a tapas experience...you get to order / try various items & share with friends/family.
Great atmosphere. Similar to some restaurants visited while in Japan.
It's a nice vibe, decor is beautiful & the service was great! However the food is a little overrated & over priced like most of the restaurants in this area. We shared 8 of their tapas & there was nothing We ate that made us want to return to eat again.

Quand même bien achalandé, toutefois on s'est occupé de nous au delà de nos attentes. Le personnel était courtois, professionnel & la nourriture était délectable. Nous avons adorée notre expérience.
Après plusieurs visites au resto nos experiences sont toujours les mêmes. La nourriture est fantastique & le service est hors paire.
L'équipe est dynamique & c'est une superbe atmosphère. Nous avions eu un excellent service de la part de Allison, Rose & Francis.
Un jeune bus boy aussi très serviable. Félicitations à tous! Always anxious to go back & enjoy the great food & ambiance :)
