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.

Extrêmement chère pour la quantité, je déconseille. Il faut débourser au moins 50$ pour ressortir rassasié

They've gotten much better overtime. We went the week the Izakaya opened & had ramens. We both found it too salty & it was a bit underwhelming at the time. If I had rated it at the time, I would have given a solid 2 stars for food.
We went a second time about a year ago & it was already much better, but still had a few issues... During this visit, I had their seafood yakisoba (I forgot the full name sadly) & was mostly pleased but I did find the octopus to be rubbery... This would have been a 3 Stars in food at that time.
Now we went last month & I had the bacon-chicken yakisoba & my partner had the ramen. I did also order a set of 3 tasters of Sake. I must say that this was the one: food was absolutely wonderfull & way more flavorful, textures were right & everything felt harmoneous. Sake was wonderful but I must say that me, a person with next to zero knowledge on sake had a hard time finding that much nuance in-between the 3 sakes we were served, but nonetheless, I enjoyed them thoroughly. Had a great time.

& I must give a special mention to the staff, regardless of when we went, they were all wonderful, that has never been an issue at this restaurant.
