Reviewers consistently praise Iru Izakaya for warm, attentive service and a lively yet refined atmosphere that evokes a Tokyo izakaya, with an open kitchen and stylish decor. The food is described as delicious and inventive, featuring shareable plates, dumplings, wagyu, octopus, ramen and sushi-inspired dishes, while the cocktail and sake programs are frequently highlighted. Many guests appreciate the menu formats such as discovery and experience, which offer a broad tasting and are often cited as ideal for celebrations or group dinners. Pricing is routinely noted as on the higher side, but the consensus is that quality and presentation justify the cost, despite some comments about small portions or occasional inconsistency. A few critiques mention slower service for cocktails or busy periods, and a handful of dishes that did not meet expectations or felt less authentic. Overall, Iru Izakaya is described as a standout choice on the south shore for groups, special occasions, or a casual night out, with repeat visits and broad praise for the food and ambiance.
Iru Izakaya in Brossard is fantastic! Delicious food, beautiful presentation, & a cozy atmosphere. The staff is very friendly, & the whole experience was excellent. Highly recommend!
On a pris le menu expérience cette fois-ci & la première fois c'était menu découverte. Tout était parfait & extrêmement délicieux. Le personnel aimable & souriant nous démontrant bien qu'ils aiment leur travail. Ce ne sera pas la dernière fois.
Ordered a ramen & was asked if I wanted it spicy. Little did I know, it was an extra $3 on the bill. Feels very dishonest. Level of authenticity not really there either.
cuisine authentique, c'est gouteux! mais service inégal, manque de raffinement & de connaissance du menu. Air climatisé ne fonctionne pas adéquatement, il faisait trop chaud.
Ma famille & moi avons beaucoup apprécié notre souper au Iru Izakaya. Les plats étaient excellents & le service aussi. Le seul hic est un peu la lenteur dans la gestion des clients, mais on ne peut leur en vouloir, ils font vraiment de leur mieux.
Honestly a really fun & nice Izakaya. Staff were awesome & super helpful offering both help & recommendations. Quick turn around on food & not too pricey for what the quality provides.
Première expérience & j'ai été impressionné par l'ambiance (très décontracté), le menu varié (succulent - menu expérience choix variés) avec le plateau de dégustation de saké (3 - tous excellents); nous avons été servi par la charmante Laurence qui nous a bien conseillé dans les choix & les informations sur les plats; je recommande pour les groupes d'amis qui désirent manger dans une belle ambiance décontractée
Not too sure how this place got such good reviews & ratings…
Food : 2/5
- sashimi platter : average quality, some are fresh some not that much
- tataki : poor quality fish
- kimchi fried rice : very very oily & not much kimchi flavour. Big disappointment
- sweet potato croquette : served cold
- yakisoba noodles : very salty
- duck mazemen : taste good
- gochujang fried chicken : taste okay
- baked oysters : pretty good, best one out of all the dishes we had
Service : 2.5/5
Service time was very long, we waited at least 35-40min between our first dishes & the rest of it. It's not like they sorted between appetizers & main…
No soy sauce served with sashimi platter ? First time seeing this… Have to ask for the dipping plates after asking for soy sauce.
We asked for an English version of drinks menu. Waiter said they don't have any & just walked away. No recommendation or translation provided.
Vibe/decor : 4/5
Nice decoration, not too loud, clean washroom. You get a fun moment when ordering the sake bomb.
Overall experience : too pricey for the quality & taste of the food. Service needs improvement. Will not come back.
Quelle belle soirée en gang pour souligner la fête de mon chum! 🎉
Nous étions 9 & avons adoré l'ambiance conviviale d'une grande table ronde, parfait pour jaser tous ensemble.
Le menu expérience a fait l'unanimité : un bel éventail de plats à partager qui a ravi tout le monde.
Un resto magnifique & une bonne ambiance ✨
