| - I've never had truly amazing Izakaya, outside of Toyko, Japan, and San Francisco, California, until I stumbled upon Guu Izakaya! If I could open an Izakaya joint in the United States, it would be Guu Izakaya!
I happened to stumble on this small restaurant after returning to the Shangri-La Hotel on an empty stomach. And to my surprise, all the workers were Japanese and very friendly! To top it off, I was fortunate to come on the last night where they were in some type of celebration at the restaurant, where all the workers were wearing Kimonos!
Ambiance: You are instantly welcomed when you enter the building. There's always great music and the interior setting feels as though you're inside an authentic dojo.
Food: Two words to describe the food, "DA BOMB." Each dish is well-presented, similar to that of tapas. My favorites: Beef Carpaccio, Takoyaki, Sashimi, almond tofu, chicken leg and lastly, green tea cheesecake!
Service: Their service is phenomenal. They treat each customer as if they've been coming for YEARS and make you want to return for just that experience.
A MUST GO IF YOU'RE IN TORONO...
