| - I thought this place was just okay. I came on a Saturday around 9 pm with a party of 3 and luckily only waited ~5mins.
To start, don't bother ordering any cocktails. Ours (cassis peach cocktail and peach mojito) came out tasting like straight up water... -__- so maybe they're weak, maybe their cocktails are heavily watered down..but either way, I don't believe in paying $7.20 for water.
We tried:
-Takowasabi (marinated octopus + wasabi): put the mix on seaweed and eat it; the boys liked it
-Gomaae (spinach and black sesame sauce): seemed kinda weird to order this IMO, but I'm glad we did - I liked it but would prolly skip it next time to have more room for other food
-Maguro tataki (tuna tataki): I really liked this dish; my 2nd fave
-Karaage (fried chicken): the bf's fave, but this honestly tastes nearly the same as everywhere I go, so I don't think this is a must-get
-Ebimayo (fried shrimp covered w/spicy mayo): my faaaaave dish!
-Kabocha korokke (fried pumpkin croquette w/a hard boiled egg inside): my friend's fave; I was really surprised by how much I liked this and recommend trying it!
-Agedashi tofu (tofu in broth): I thought this was just okay..but they do give a generous portion of tofu
-Kinoko bibimbap (cheesey, mushroom-y rice): I had a small bite and liked it, but I didn't eat more than that and wouldn't order again bc it's a filler food - and I know better than to order filler food! ;)
-Teriyaki gyu tongue: I thought this was ok, a bit chewier than what I'm used to, and I don't like it as much as the beef tongue at Zakkushi
-Kakimayo (baked oysters): these are huuuuuuuugeeee.. they come 2 per order, and the boys I went with seemed to like it
We also tried 2 other specials (some sashimi things, I think), and paired with the cocktails, the bill came out to $130. Service was hit or miss - some waiters were friendly, others just wanted to go home. Glad I tried Guu out, but i don't see myself coming back, esp not if there's a long wait.
