Thanks to your support, Iru has proudly reached its 1-year anniversary.

As a token of our appreciation, we’ve prepared a special banchan.

It’s 고등어조림(Godeungeo Jorim), a traditional Korean braised mackerel dish that has been loved for generations.

We will be offering this as a complimentary dish to guests visiting from April 20 to April 30.

Please note that quantities are limited due to preparation capacity, so if we run out, we may offer an alternative item instead. Thank you for your understanding.

We recommend making your reservation as early as possible!

Thanks to your support, Iru is proudly celebrating our 1st anniversary today, April 15.

When we first opened in April 2025, Iru was simply one small restaurant.

Every dish we serve comes from recipes passed down by my mother, Park Samsun, who moved alone from Korea to Japan nearly 50 years ago.
Not only her cooking, but also her philosophy of caring for guests lives within everything we do at Iru.

After one year, we have found our mission.

We want to share the value of handmade food and the beauty of traditions that have been carried on for generations here in Boston.
Through this, we hope to elevate the standard and appreciation of Korean cuisine in the city.

We are still a young restaurant, just getting started.

We would love for you to come and experience what we believe in.

We truly look forward to welcoming you.

Our restaurant began in Japan as a family business, started by my father and mother.
In 1997, after my father fell seriously ill, my mother carried the restaurant forward on her own for the next 40 years.
Over the years, we had the honor of serving many guests, including former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

The story of Iru begins with my mother, Park Samsun.
She was born in 1941 in Chungcheongbuk-do, South Korea.

Her family ran a rice shop, and at the age of 18, she began working at a local restaurant.
At 25, she moved to Seoul to pursue new opportunities.
