THE WAIT IS OVER!

IRU is finally opening for WEEKEND LUNCH starting October 16!

Lunch will be served Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM.
Last call is at 2:00 PM as we prepare for dinner service.

We want more people to discover IRU and experience the food we love to share.

For lunch, we’re bringing some of our dinner favorites to the table in the style of a traditional Japanese Teishoku (set meal).

Our menu will feature three dishes:

🍲 Samgyetang Set — $25

Our signature Korean ginseng chicken soup, slowly simmered to bring out the rich, comforting flavors of chicken and traditional Korean ingredients.

Just like at our restaurants in Japan, we’ll finish the Samgyetang right in front of you at your table. It’s something special we’d love for you to experience!

🥩 Bulgogi Set — $26

One of Korea’s most beloved everyday dishes. Tender beef marinated in a savory-sweet sauce, full of the familiar, comforting flavors of a Korean home-cooked meal.

🐟 Simmered Mackerel Set — $22

Mackerel gently simmered in a flavorful sauce. A classic Japanese home-style dish that brings a taste of everyday Japanese dining to IRU.

Every set includes rice and seven varieties of handmade seasonal banchan, prepared with care in our kitchen.

We believe a great meal doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes, a warm bowl of soup, freshly cooked rice, and a table full of small dishes are all you need.

We can’t wait to welcome you to our lunch table.

See you at IRU! ❤️

Mostly just beef bulgogi and rice is fine.

Banchan matters as much as the main dish.
