Review Summary

Iru Izakaya is generally regarded as a vibrant and welcoming destination that offers a unique Japanese dining experience. Most visitors praise the high-quality, flavorful food, particularly the sharing plates like gyoza, karaage, and takoyaki, as well as the popular discovery menus that allow guests to sample a variety of dishes. While the service is frequently described as professional, attentive, and friendly, a minority of guests have noted occasional inconsistencies in food temperature, seasoning, or portion sizes relative to the price. The atmosphere is widely appreciated for its modern, stylish decor and lively energy, although some diners find the music volume a bit too loud for intimate conversation. Overall, the restaurant remains a highly recommended spot in Quebec for those seeking a creative culinary adventure in a trendy, well-serviced environment.

Honestly, I am so disappointed. I had high expectations for the food. The atmosphere is good, I think they put a lot of effort into the decoration of the restaurant, but very little into the dishes. The meals were bland, the beef ramen tasted nothing, the side dishes were very basic for the price. Unfortunately, I will not return.

I'm very disappointed with my first visit at Iru. I ordered a drink, a miso soup, 2 appetizers & a ramen. I informed the staff of a mushroom allergy I have. First the server tells me that the miso paste has mushrooms & I ask not to add mushrooms & I'll be ok. He proceeds to convince me that miso is a mushroom based recipe. I told him that he's probably mistaking Koji for mushroom which it is not. It is a fungi, but not all fungis are mushrooms, it's a common mistake that people make. So he says he's still not comfortable serving me the soup. I asked him to just forget the soup. I then receive my appetizers, had the karaage & the yakiniku which were average at best. After I finished the appetizers, I waited for 15-20 minutes before the server tells me that they can't serve me the ramen as it has the miso in it. So I get annoyed & I ask for the bill. There are 2 issues here, first, it's worrying that a chef doesn't know the difference between mold & mushrooms, secondly is that I've been seated for 45 minutes & had finished my appetizers 15-20 min ago before they decide to tell me that I need to choose another main. The only redeeming factor is that my server was actually nice & welcoming.

Nous avons bien apprécié l'ensemble du restaurant. Cependant, nous avons commandé le tantan. Très déçu de ce plat; aucune présentation, odeur désagréable, goût très ordinaire, pâte/ramen vraiment trop cuite avec très peu de protéines & de légumes. Nous avons signalé notre déception une 1ere fois à notre serveur. Il semblait indifférent. Je l'ai relancé la fin du repas en lui présentant l'image du plat sur le site Web ainsi que la liste des ingrédients en soulignant que ce n'était visiblement pas le même plat... ni même aucun des plats sur le menu. Il était désolé. N'empêche que ça a rendu notre expérience positive du départ en moyenne pour la suite. Si j'y retourne, ce sera avec une certaine vigilance

Le restaurant est magnifique & les serveurs sont très à l'écoute de leur client. Nous avons commandé deux ramène avec des dumplings au foie gras & les trois étaient délicieux.

C'est ma troisième fois & honnêtement si je pouvais donner 6 étoiles je le ferais! L'ambiance en soirée est hors du commun. Les ramens que j'ai manger ce midi sont de loin les meilleurs que j'ai manger dans un restaurant à Québec! Service très courtois & rapide! Merci à toute l'équipe

Le resto est vraiment beau & agréable. Les cocktails sont incroyables. On a pris de nouilles au porc & un ramen au porc, malheureusement le porc était haché; ce qui ajoutait une texture bizarre aux plats.

The place looks incredible & the staff is really nice but the food is horrendous. I had ramen & they we're the worst ramen I've ever had (even compared to instant ramen) the pork was overcooked & dry, the noodles were still stuck together, the soup base had nothing to do with tonkutsu even tho it was supposed to be like one, why is there corn in my ramen? There was too much sea weed & it was awful eating it as it felt like eating concentrated sea weed.
