Malgré cela, l'ensemble des avis met en avant la constance de la qualité et la gentillesse du personnel, faisant de Iru Izakaya une adresse appréciée et souvent recommandée, avec une préférence marquée pour le menu découverte ou le menu expérience.
Great Izakaya. The service is wonderful & the food is delicious but pricy. The only real complaint is the weird SAKE yell at other people's table. It truly ruins your romantic experience.
Amazing stunning & great job to that wonderful adress
Service 5 ⭐? from the welcome to the bills

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.
I felt like I was in Ginza! An uplifting environment where they serve scrumptious octopus balls & the best Ramen & Sake bombs. Located in the REM stop so no need even to drive from Montreal. However on a Canadiens Playoff Hockey Night the service was a bit slowed down
Ambiance is great; relaxed casual setting, & decor reminiscent of sights you'd see in Tokyo. Food was good, sake selection is great, but the star of the show was Vivanne, who gave us top tier service.
She was very attentive to our table, always serving us with a smile. Since we booked for a dinner to celebrate my birthday a few weeks late, my friends had brought me a gift bag. She noticed it by the table, & finished the meal by bringing me a birthday dessert (with sparklers!) without my friends even asking.
Will definitely come back, even just to explore the sake list a bit more.
Merci Vivianne!
P.S.: for full Japanese immersion, use the middle bathroom.
J'ai réservé depuis plus d'un mois & lorsque j'arrive …. J'ai une table!! Très minimaliste comme présentation & portion vs prix!! Bouteilles de saké à prix exorbitants. Très déçu de la nourriture des takowaki, beaucoup de pâte & très peu de pieuvres. Très décevant. Je ne reviendrai pas. Par contre la serveuse très sympathique & cordiale.
Superbe soirée du réveillon du Jour de l'An. Un 10/10 pour le tartare de boeuf & les pétoncles gratinés. L'accord mets-vin avec le saké était surprenant agréablement. À refaire!
We took a very last minute reservation on Boxing Day for my sisters birthday after our previous reservation fell through elsewhere, & the staff was extremely kind, attentive, & accommodating. The food was lovely, & the selection of sake was wonderful. I look forward to going back.

My Name is Chef Bruno Rocca & I've been in the restaurant business for over 25y, it is very difficult for me to eat in restaurants, 98% it's garbage with horrible service. I went to Iru Brossard Saturday August 31st with 4 friends, I was offered a 6:30pm Rez as it was full. We ordered Tuna maki tacos(nothing special), beef tartare(pretty good), oysters au gratin(very nice), foie gras dumplings(they were good), sauteed green beans(amazing), corn-mozzarella au gratin(I was very excited about this & it ended up not being to my liking because of the texture of the dish, kust felt like it was warm mozzarella sticks) octopus fritters (phenomenal) Fried shrimp(very good) Beef sirloin hibachi(honestly was good but very bland no seasoning & the meat was stuck to the hot stone plate to cook yourself) Kimchi carbonara(very good) & the beef rib sharing platter that came with these amazing green onion crepes(it was absolutely incredible). I'm also in the mixology game & the Sake Smash was incredible Do yourself a favour & take a chefs advice who is very very particular with food & get yourself to Iru & try everything, I am definitely going back to try more of the menu. Even though Joe was an amazing server who knew his stuff & took care of us & offered us sake bombs, the bar & floor service can use improvement only because I feel they were understaffed for a full house restaurant on a Saturday night from 5-10.
