Been going here for years and it’s always packed, for a good reason. While not the cheapest option around the prices reflect the quality of the food, which is outstanding. The gyoza and teriyaki salmon are favourites.
Really great night had here
We had a couple of Irori platters, I can’t fault it, the sushi was fresh and tasty, the California rolls and golden rolls were perfect
If I had to make one criticism it would be, please just leave the bottle of soy sauce on the table , it’s very frustrating having to wait for staff to come over to refill our dishes
I have dined far and wide, internationally even, Japanese being one of my favs, but the service and food at Brighton’s Irori is a stand-out. A must-try if you like the culinary delights that is Japanese cuisine. Five stars - no doubt. A casual dining experience yet top shelf on the food. BYO wine. Say ‘hi’ to Andy at the helm... yum, yum, yum! Perfect blend of relaxed environment, great taste and well priced at that. Will definitely go again... #japanese #erikbigalk IRORI #goodfoodguide Zomato
Fantastic food, fantastic service and a great vibe of a restaurant! Can’t kept enough of their sushi and cocktails and would highly recommend to anyone and everyone. Edamame beans are a must also with a few cocktails
Amazing fresh fish, and yummy food. always love coming here. I have been about 30 times. Relaxing, hidden gem in north brighton. Cant get enough 😊
Tiny, hole in the wall kind of place with great food. Based on looks you might not expect much but the sushi & sashimi are beautiful and fresh, salads are yum. Never had a bad dish or service there.
Best Japanese in Brighton! Friendly customer service and you can always try something new and it won't disappoint. Although it's slightly pricey you definitely get what you pay for. We go there frequently and get: Teriyaki salmon, golden roll sushi platter and pork gyoza. If you live in Brighton it's a must go!
Nice restaurant situation in Brighton. Quite an extensive menu. More than I expected. Food was fresh and definitely tasty. Price was very reasonable for the quality. Would definitely recommend
Having just come back from Japan and feeling entitled to good sushi only, we decided to try Irori as it is listed as one of Melbourne’s best.
The outside and inside of the tiny establishment is nothing worthy of praise, however the real magic happens behind the sushi bar and kitchen.
We got the $60 Irori platter, which was recommended to us as a must-have. Everything on the platter was beautifully sliced and presented, and the quality of the sushi was top-notch. We were super impressed by how fresh, clean and smooth the sashimi was - it all just melts in your mouth!
We also ordered the yakitori as a delicious starter, and the unagi don which was a nice addition. Will definitely be making the trip back to Brighton just for this place - especially the Irori platter!
A little gem hidden in Brighton. Staff are attentive and polite, ingredients for sushi are very fresh! The only complaint I have was that the sweet miso sauce was a bit too thick and salty.
After few years we have returned to Irori. And we did enjoy all meals as before.
Our entires Isuzukuri (fresh fish) was excellent. Nasuden (eggplant) was nice too.
Main meals:
Unagi Don (eel) was nice but I have to admit we had better. Still nice.
And seafood Teppaniki was so tasty and melting.
Service was very friendly and polite.
Restaurant is BYO.
Corkage $3.50 per person.
Can't wait to come back again.
freshly served sashimi, it was sooo delicious..
their staff suggested the golden roll, it was coated with some crunchy fried bits, yummy!
Always outstanding… my family and I really love the Japanese food they make. We dine in occasionally more frequent on take away
Highly recommend 🙌
That was very nice and we had been here for few times already! It’s good to come and eat every single week. But there’s always a queue when you want to eat at dinner time.
Good food. Wouldn’t say the sushi is amazing but it’s definitely good, the variety of fish is standard (low)
We love Irori so much that we get it every week when we visit my parents. We are all massive sushi-lovers and we all agree that Irori is the best we've ever had. Their Sashimi is absolutely unbeatable and the finest quality. The staff are extremely friendly and generous. I cannot rate this place highly enough! Six, seven stars if I could!
