Review Summary

Iru Izakaya offers a vibrant Japanese-inspired dining experience that many patrons find memorable, frequently highlighting the warm atmosphere, beautiful decor, and high-quality sharing platters like the ribs, takoyaki, and karaage. While many guests praise the attentive, professional service and creative cocktail menu, opinions on the food remain mixed, with some diners celebrating the authentic and balanced flavors while others find certain main dishes, such as ramen or fried rice, to be lacking in consistency or value. The restaurant is generally viewed as a great spot for celebrations or group outings, though some visitors note that the volume can occasionally be quite high and that the pricing may feel steep for the portion sizes provided. Overall, the majority of customers appreciate the unique culinary journey and plan to return, suggesting that while the experience can vary, the restaurant remains a popular destination in Quebec.

Nous avons pris le menu carte blanche, je n'ai pas été déçue ! Tous les plats étaient délicieux ! Service impeccable, on nous a offert les boissons car l'attente était plus longue, j'ai apprécié le geste ! Nous y retournons définitivement :)
Peut-être plus en semaine pour être plus au calme car on est rendu vieux !

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.
