Review Summary

Iru Izakaya is widely celebrated for its vibrant atmosphere, creative Japanese-inspired tapas, and an extensive selection of sake and cocktails. Many patrons highlight the generosity and quality of the food, particularly the discovery menus, sashimi, and ribs, which make it a fantastic destination for groups and celebratory outings. While the service is frequently described as attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly, some diners have noted inconsistencies regarding pacing, noise levels, and occasional lapses in attention during busier periods. Despite differing opinions on the authenticity of the cuisine and some concerns regarding pricing or extra charges, the majority of visitors leave with a positive impression and a strong desire to return for the unique decor and energetic vibe.

Extremely poor service & mediocre food. It wasn't worth the price point. I had high hopes for this restaurant.
