Irori Japanese Restaurant - Lipa

So Lipa City is now full of surprises. It is no longer the small provincial town of the 70s. It has grown exponentially: crowded and noisy. That part I'm not happy about. But there is also a profusion of cultural cross pollination. One example: a Japanese restaurant, serving authentic cuisine. I was very happy with my cold noodle salad and spicy ramen, but a little disappointed with grilled eel (unagi). But overall, the food was delicious and satisfying. Another star for this restaurant is the mid-century furnishings. It seems appropriate. Very understatedly stylish. I will definitely be back.

They offer delicious authentic Japanese cuisine. They have varieties of japanese food to choose. ????????????????

A highly recommended Japanese Restaurant in Lipa but also in the province of Batangas! Authentic dishes specially the Ramen and Teppanyaki Steaks.

I decided to treat myself and visited the recently reopened upscale Iori Japanese Restaurant in Lipa City. I arrived early and only one other table was occupied by adults with small children. The children were running wild and the noise was unbearable, we could hear them from the parking lot. I asked the waiter to speak to the parents about controlling their children, but he did not take any action. I informed the parents that we were leaving because of the noise and lack of control over their kids. Their reaction was dismissive, saying they're just kids and it's just noise. I enjoyed beans on toast when I got home and appreciated the savings compared to what would have been spent at the restaurant. I won't be returning to Iori, as they should show more respect to their customers.

Pros : Above average food quality in generous servings. Cozy ambience altho a bit cold due to Industrial type decor. Decent service with ample parking space. Cons : Out of the way from the city centre but right besides Casa Marikit. Price prevents it to...be a run-away hit.
