Went here last week for dinner, haven't been to Iori for a while... The food's still great, nothing on the menu seems to change though, my friends agree, though the quality is still great. The new staff were really friendly, attentive. All in all an oldie but a goodie!

Simply Brilliant. Highly recommended!

The best Japanese restaurant have been to - regularly went there once per week when lived in ACT. Service and hospitality is exquisite. Have not found a better restaurant for Japanese. Our favourate restaurant. Soft shell crab and sushi/sashimi platters are amazing, incredible presentation. (Brisbane - October 2008)

Used to be a big fan of Iori but its standards has really dropped since my last visit a few years ago. The servings are generous but not particularly served with care. The service I received was also below par. The most atrocious thing was when the waiter put his thumb in our saucers of soy sauce and we could see that he had dirty finger nails!! Complete turn off. Another waiter proceeded to collect and then leave piles of dirty dishes next to us on the sushi bench. What has happended to this place?? It used to be one of my favourite restaurants.

Restaurant response:
Haroldluntz-san. Thank you very much for Feed back. We apologize that we were not able to serve you properly. I take full responsibility for the incident, as it is a result of my poor supervision on my staff. We have carefully looked into our record of the period you might have visit. We had encounter unforeseen sudden leave of the key person and we could not train the new comers well, however this IS NOT good excuse for the unacceptable manners you had experienced at IORI. Now, we have regular staff meeting to try to improve better service. We will do all we can to prevent this kind of bad service to happen again. I apologize again for all the displeasure and anxiety this bad service may have caused you and your guests. we hope we could serve you much better when you visit IORI next time. If we can be of any assistance to you due to this, please do not hesitate to advise us. We value your opinion. Once again, Thank you very much for feed back. Mamoru

AWESOME FOOD AWESOME HOSPITALITY it's annoying when restaurants/establishments do not get back to you but these guys were on the ball... great communication and easy going... again AWESOME

The best Japanese Food in Canberra. No doubt about it. It is one of the authentic Japanese Restaurant in Canberra. Most Japanese restaurant in Canberra are Korean owned. The sashimi tasted fresh, the sushi and sashimi entree for 1 is a must try. Lunch time has great value meal!

The price is not cheap, but high cost performance - especially raw fishes and Wagyu Beef are excellent. Very good restaurant if you wish to have high quality Japanese foods.

Small and friendly, beautifully presented, fresh, delicious and authentic Japanese food. Courteous service. Lunch is excellent value. Menu changes to more leisurely and more expensive for dinner.
