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.

Le repas était excellent, bien qu'un peu dispendieux nous avons très bien mangé (même trop), notre serveur était très gentil & a bien répondu à nos questions.
L'ambiance était agreable, le restaurant est très beau.
La raison pour laquelle je mets 4 étoiles aux services c'est parce que nous avons attendu 1h30 avant d'avoir notre nourriture. C'était long & on est venu nous voir seulement une fois pour nous dire'on ne vous oubli pas mais c'est plus long que d'habitude' quand on voyait des tables arrivées après nous recevoir leur nourriture.
Nous sommes arrivés à 18h30, parti à 21h45, & on était juste deux...

Je mets tout de même 4 étoiles car le reste était excellent.

1ère expérience dans ce resto, gros WOW pour la nourriture & pour le service. Nous avons été très bien conseillé. Un voyage dégustatif hautement apprécié. Mon seul vommenraire négatif est qu'il faisait un peu froid.

Food was mediocre for the price. Service was decent. Although yes it may be busy the seating arrangement was not comfortable, tables were way to crowed together... space out the tables more.

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.

Service & nourriture incroyable! L'endroit est magnifique & l'ambiance est bonne. Seule point négatif est la grosseur des cocktails vs le prix ( verre miniature ou gros verre remplie de glace) Mis a part ça, j'y retourne sans hésitation!
