  • Atmosphere: It was really lively here (some might call it loud in the inside of the restaurant)! They greet you as you walk in the door, respond to each other loudly when an order is put through, and also as you walk out. It's definitely an experience! Highlights: The Gindara (Black Cod) with miso and white wine sauce was TO DIE FOR. The fish was perfectly moist and buttery, and the sauce complimented it really well - we were mopping up every last drop. We went on a Sunday, and one of the specials of the day was the Seared Yellowfin Tuna (they called it Yellow Tail for some reason???). It was lightly seared and seemed to be marinated in a light citrus sauce - yum :) Alrights: The Kakimayo (Baked Oyster with Garlic Mayo, Cheese, Mushroom, and Spinach) was alright. The sauce was really savoury, but it wasn't anything that you couldn't make at home. Although it's served on the half-shell, the shell is merely a decorative piece - you can tell that they didn't shuck the oysters themselves since they were not attached to the shell and also because we saw the chefs pull shells from a shell to put prepare the food inside (the lobster dishes also are not plated with the shell that the seafood came from....if it was purchased with a shell :S) The infamous Gyu Carpaccio.....ehhhh, it was alright. Pretty standard compared to other places that serve this dish. It didn't knock my socks off, but it was pretty good. Lowlights: The Fried Brie Cheese. I honestly don't understand what the hype is around this - the cheese itself doesn't have that much flavour and the Mango and Berry sauces it comes with just taste strange paired with the cheese. If acidity was needed to cut though the richness of the cheese, I would have much preferred the use of some type of vinegar, perhaps balsamic/rice wine vinegar? I also find it a little strange that the waiting area is outside of the restaurant - when the weather is nice, it's understandable, but it must be HORRIBLE when the weather is bad. I can see why they would do it (because the restaurant is so small) but there must be a better alternative.... Overall Notes: It was nice to come and try the infamous Guu experience once, but I'm not frothing at the mouth to come back again. Maybe if the dishes were bigger for the price. One star deducted because only some, rather than all of the dishes, were hits. Another star deducted for the lack of bang-for-buck factor - each dish is pretty small and pretty expensive.
