| - GUU!!!is!!!so!!!awesome!!!
That's what I told my dinner date when we had a dinner at Guu SakaBar last weekend.
My experience with Guu was wonderful: I loved the food, the staff and the boisterous atmosphere. I loved that when my friend A and I sat that the bar to observe the high-paced kitchen action, we were greeted by all of the staff. I loved it when we left, all of the staff waved us goodbye. Can every restaurant be like this? Because I'm so coming back!
There's about 103 reviews describing this place to a T so I will keep this review short and sweet. Here are my tips:
- It's worth it to arrive early. Throw out your ideas that a restaurant must be pretentious if you have to line-up early because that's crap, especially about this place. Guu SakaBar has delicious food and great staff and not at all pretentious.
- Do sit at the bar. It may not be as cozy or comfortable as the tables but it's so entertaining to see the kitchen staff work cohesively and having fun in the process.
What we drank:
- Ume Mojito
- Three Samurai
- Guutini
What we ate:
- Sashimi Salad
- Sea urchin sushi (from the specials menu)
- Salmon Natto Yukke: chopped salmon sashimi, cucumber, garlic chips, natto, takuan, scallion, shibazuke and raw egg yolk)
- Kakimayo: baked oyster with mushroom, spinach, garlic mayo and cheese
- Karaage: deep fried chicken with garlic mayo
- Beef tongue tacos: these were a special so I can't remember what they were called but they were tasty!
Overall, my experience was a great one and because we were celebrating my friend's birthday, it was a lovely night.
