The moment you enter, you are greeted by the entire staff at Guu. They are incredibly enthusiastic as they yell at you in Japanese to welcome you. Deep down, I felt like a celebrity. Just kidding!
I have always been a fan of Guu Izakaya since it opened in Vancouver. It is a really exciting and fun restaurant to go for drinks with your buddies. Always packed and full of excitement! The food here is also really good. I have tried almost everything and have to say you can't really go wrong with anything. My top picks will be Okonomiyaki, Takoyaki, Gindara, Gyu Tongue and Kakimayo.
For the people that are not familiar with Izakayas, it is basically Japanese tapas. I would highly recommend going with a group of 4-5 people. This way everyone gets to sample a little bit of each dish and easier to be seated since it is a busy restaurant!
