  • GUU-dness gracious!!!! We made a reservation month's in advance all the way from Hawaii thinking we were going to have a GUU-reat time at this so called number one Izakaya in all of Toronto. Well let me tell you something about our dining experience here at GUU Izakaya. It was far from GUU-d if you ask me. And let me tell you about my hearing after eating at this noisy, i mean very noisy place that they call a restaurant here. I felt like all the servers and cooks here were high on acid or just had too many sake shots before their shift started. These workers were yelling at the top of their lungs each and every time someone walked through that door. And where do you think they sat me. my wife, and my niece at???? Right by the door and packed like a can of sardines i might add. So much for coming all the way from Hawaii and having a wonderful dinner here on our first night here in Toronto. I think i would rather hear planes flying over us than here these loud people that work here at Guu!!!! If i had known how noisy this place was, then i would have brought my earplugs with us or have one of the chef's just slice both my ears off to drown out the noise level here at GUU. One thing that really turned me off about this place from the start was having our hostess tell us that there is a two hour dining time here. Ok fine, no problem. But if we have a seven o clock reservation and they give us a check at 8:10 without us even asking for it, what the hell are you rushing us out for? Not only did they seat us the most undesirable table in the whole damn restaurant and then they have the nerve to rush us out in just a little over an hour when they quoted us a two hour dining session is just plain wrong especially after flying for over ten hours flying from Honolulu and then stopping over in Vancouver and then finally landing in Toronto then having choose this place for our first meal in Toronto. Very Very disappointed. I guess i was blinded by all these glowing reviews on Yelp and i got suckered into coming to this place although i was a bit skeptical but i gave in to my Japanese wife who is usually spot on about places like this. Although the menu here is quite extensive and cheap, the Izakaya's here in Hawaii would blow these places right out of the water and back to Japan because the food and quality at this Izakaya doesn't even come close to the mediocre Izakaya's here in Hawaii. Another red flag about this place was that there were no Japanese eating here and that usually is a tell tale sign that this place was a bad choice from the beginning. They usually say cheap is good but the food here at GUU wasn't GUU-D AT ALL!!!! The service here was very puzzling if you ask me. The servers here look like a bunch of mice looking for pieces of cheese all over the floor. You didn't even know who your server was because they were too busy screaming out food orders or were just in a trance. Monster drinks would have no effect on the people that work here. it was like watching a game of Hungry Hippo's from our table. They must really love their jobs here and to get a job here you must have to scream at the top of your lungs at the interviewer and they will hire you by the decibal's coming out of your mouth. If not for the saving graces of dining at Zakkushi on Carlton and Sushi Bar Sushiya in Toronto, the Japanese fare here in Toronto would have been a major disappointment for us. I truly loved the vibe at Zakkushi and the service there was far more stellar than here at Guu. And we could actually carry a conversation there as well as opposed to doing sign language while eating at GUU. I'm gonna give you all a fair warning about dining here at GUU. It's gonna be the loudest dining experience you are ever going to experience and you will think that a sold out Raptor game or Blue jay's game or Maple Leaf's game has nothing on the noise level here at GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
