Wow! C'était délicieux. J'ai eu la chance de déguster les 2 variétés de ramens, les 3 sortes de grillades & la tartinade chaude de crabe, aucuns ne m'ont déçus. Un bravo particulier pour la cuisson de la pieuvre qui fondait en bouche. J'ai déjà hâte d'y retourner!!!!

An interesting place, a bit mid really. Food was fine, unremarkable but perfectly edible. Service was friendly & competent but the dishes came out very quickly & were all going to hit at the same time if we hadn't slowed them down. We had six of the sharing plates & it was enough for two. Music was loud but I get the feeling its what the crowd was looking for... it largely skewed a bit younger &/or theater goers. The place was hopping even for an early reservation (again Place des Arts is right around the corner - so a large theater crowd).

Overall, it's nothing special but definitely no reason to avoid. If you like Japanese grills & aren't really looking for anything challenging or mind blowing, then you could do worse.

Delicious food & exceptional service! The fuagura gyoza, ramen iru & chizukeki were perfectly crafted & well balanced. Thank you to our waiter, Simon, for the great experience & attention to detail :) we will be back!

✅The main dishes are nice!
❌The side dish portion is too small for the price.
Serving style is not as good as the food they serve.
Waiting time for food is incredibly long.

Belle salle, bonne carte & plats goûtus.
Les prix sont un peu trop élevés à mon sens, ce qui gâche un peu l'expérience :(

Dine in August 2026: sizzling duck was perfect, my friends enjoyed their sushi tacos, but found the cauliflower bites basic. I got a great sake recommendation from the server based on my tastes. Very cool decor.
Delivery Jan 2026: Iru ramen was good but not great, especially for that price. Like the work was a very thin strip & the broth could have been better. Kamo chahan was pretty good.

Merci à toi Laurence, je n'ai même pas mangé au restaurant lui même à cause d'un petit pépin, mais juste de par ton accueil, de ton service, & de ton amabilité, j'ai voulu revenir manger chez iru malgré le fait que j'y était déjà. À qui lira cet avis, le service chez iru, c'est incroyable. Demandez Laurence, vous le verrez par vous même.
