My partner heard about Iru through social media and made us the reservation so I had zero idea of what to expect. Right off the bat I was impressed by the space. It's simply decorated but still feels warm and intimate. For food, we didn't go for their signature samyetang and instead opted for a few of their other dishes. The person taking our order even asked, "You don't want the samyetang?", which made us feel like we messed up. Between the two of us we got the Chive Pancake, Japche, two of the Yannyong Scallops, and Kalbi Chim. This was definitely more than enough food. The Chive Pancake was the last to come, and at that point I think we could've just done without it entirely. The Scallops and Japche were my favorites. I particularly enjoyed the texture and flavor of the Scallops. I will note that we originally ordered the Bulgogi, not the Kalbi. The person taking our order even read it back to us to confirm everything was right. When the Kalbi came, we only realized after they set it down, but it looked and smelled good so we accepted it anyways. I wish I could give 4.5 stars but I did really end up enjoying the meal. Service overall was good and our water cups were never left empty. I would definitely come back to try their signature dish. read more
