My 1st ever openrice review will be on Irori as we just dined there and I want to scribble down my thoughts while the memory is still fresh.Central really has a lack of good izakayas so after work, we went to Causeway Bay Irori to satisfy our cravings, at least, that's what we thought.Have been there a couple of times last year and remembered the food to be tasty and inexpensive - actually a really good deal if you go with a bunch of people.

Central really has a lack of good izakayas so after work, we went to Causeway Bay Irori to satisfy our cravings, at least, that's what we thought.
Have been there a couple of times last year and remembered the food to be tasty and inexpensive - actually a really good deal if you go with a bunch of people.
After flipping through the drool-worthy photos in the menu, this time we ordered:
- Pumpkin salad: Comes in 2 big icecream scoops - a nice change from the typical japanese mashed potato salad, good choice for pumpkin lovers.
- Fried Cheese sticks: Unmemorable
- Fried chicken cartilage: Used to be very tasty, amazing combo with sake/beer but dunno what happened to it this time.. it was just deep fried.. semi tasteless cartilage. the batter was also a bit too thick.
- Japanese omelette: Cooked well and came a cute oval pancake shape.
- Salmon rice balls: Satisfying, sushi rice was cooked just right not too soft. Best part of the meal. Sadly.
- Grilled toro $300/6 pieces: While dishes on the menu are usually 50-60hkd, I chose to order this dish because I remembered it to be quite orgasmic! However, this time it came out pretty anaemic looking and was NOT FRESH AT ALL...unfortunately, this was not the only disappointment of the night!
When my sis informed the Japanese manager politely that their Toro was NOT fresh, instead of being very apologetic, she informed us (backed up by waitress) that they shipped the toro fresh from Japan. Waitress: You must be used to having toro that has been frozen before hand that’s why it taste different this time!”
Utter BS and downright insulting!!
Okay word of advice to Irori staff: if you can’t cancel the order just apologize politely and explain that you really can’t cancel it rather that insinuate that your customers have not had anything better before.
I must say that Irori’s fried beef rolls and pizza mochi (for mochi lovers) would probably be worth ordering, unless they have deteriorated like their fried and fishy friends. Irori is definitely not worth another visit as the service has ALWAYS been below average and like today for example, APPALING. Atmosphere is not good enough, tables too close together, not recommended for dates.
