Iori Japanese Restaurant

Definitely recommend to anyone in Canberra! The service was beyond amazing and the staff and chef are all super friendly and eager to serve! It was my sons birthday and he got a complimentary drink and was sung happy birthday with his desert which made his day! Hands down the best restaurant I've eaten at. Thank you all so much for making my sons birthday so special ❤️

I have been regular recently and brought my friends and colleagues to recommend their food. However, today’s visit was a bit disappointing. Their sashimi was awesome as always, BUT sushi and roll were absolutely below the average which made me embrrassed to my friends. The rice of roll and sushi was hard and not balanced with sushi in my mouth. Anyway, their customer service is always good and respectful.

Food was excellent. Service was horrible, we had a booking for 6:45, we were rushed since we sat down. We were asked 3 times within 5 minutes if we were done with the starters and wanted to get on the mains, and we said not yet (i still had half my plate full). I hadn't even finished my starter, that someone came out with my main. We had the last table on the venue, right in front of the kitchen, so could hear the chef (I assume owner) yelling to his staff for the whole hour. I understand that business is slow due to covid, but you shouldn't take bookings after 6:30 if you want them out before 8pm. We went in for a good experience, and left full but feeling like we hadn't had time to enjoy the different courses, nor properly finish our drinks.
