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.

Wow!! Bel endroit, super ambiance & j'ai été tellement bien servie. J'ai choisi un ramen trop épicé, tellement que je m'étouffais à chaque bouchée malgré le bon goût. La serveuse a été très gentille & m'a proposé de changer de ramen sans frais. Donc j'ai goûté 2 ramens & je peux vous confirmer que c'est excellent !! Grosses portions donc j'en ai ramené à la maison. Merci au personnel pour ça🙏

Belle Ambiance & bon service , nourriture très ordinaire rien de spécial, je m'attendais à mieux pour un établissement du genre , les plats n'étais pas vraiment travailler & manquais cruellement de saveurs , rien engrais épicé ou très très peux , bref plutôt décevant...

Les entrées étaient bonne les portion étaient très grosse par contre, un manque de saveur dans une grande majorité des plats. Un simple amateur pourrait faire mieux.

We came in for lunch, the staff was courteous & professional, the music was awesome (namely some 1980s Japanese pop which fits well with the vibe). We ordered a couple of cocktails & they were pretty awesome. We had the karage chicken to start with the Korean spicy sauce. I found the sauce was bland & tasted more of Buffalo sauce rather than a proper gochujan sauce. The chicken pieces were okay, although the breading was nothing special. not a good value. All in all, below average. We then had our bowls of ramen, the IRU ramen. & in my opinion they were borderline disgusting, the noodles were stuck together in clumps of dough & of obvious low quality, practically greasy. The broth reassembled a thin gravy with MSG rather than a proper ramen broth. 0 hints of any depth, a bland salty gravy. The chunks of ground pork had zero flavor & tasted bowled. The soft boiled egg was cold & felt like it came right out of the fridge. 20 bucks + tips & tax for such a low quality dull bowl of matter, luckily I was quite hungry... I'm pretty disappointed. Whatever else that was coming out of the kitchen other than the ramen smelt pretty good, if I were to go back, I'd try something else off the menu. But I am in no rush to eat there again. Maybe just stop for a cocktail while I'm at the mall.
