Guu was my introduction to izakayas so it does have a special place in my heart. Perhaps I'm rating this location with a higher standard and its partly my fault for ordering the kinkalicious special but I came back home thinking I could've spent my money better elsewhere. Service was alright although it was slightly harder to get the server's attention if you sit in the back. The kinkalicious special basically was a sampler type of course. The salad was too heavily dressed (too salty), although the portions were good. The fried course was basically one piece of fried chicken and takoyaki per person, portions were definitely disappointing but it tasted alright. Grilled cheek skewers are not that great... Honestly I could've cooked it better. There was a layer of fat on one side that was not even rendered crispy. Oysters were great as usual. The bimbimbap ensures that you are full at the end, I think it was alright but it's not my thing. Sashimi with lobster and scallop was the star of the show, there was a decent amount of lobster tail - I was pleasantly surprised! The course ended with green tea ice cream - I really don't think this should be included as a course but it's one of the courses according to the menu. It tasted like hime green tea ice cream and the scoop was not that big. Overall, mediocre for the price - I think the regular sampler menu is better (unless you really want to eat sashimi) and next time I will just order from the regular menu instead.
