Guu has been so hyped up from everyone I know, so I had pretty high standards coming in.
Food: It was lunch so my friends ordered udon, but based on the recommendations below, I really wanted to try stuff off their tapas menu. I ordered the takowasabi (marinated octopus and wasabi stem), ikipiri (deep fried calamari with spicy ketchup and wasabi mayo), takoyaki (fried octopus balls), and almond tofu. The food is honestly SO GUU'D. You can really taste the wasabi flavour in the takowasabi and it also comes with nori squares on the side. Unlike the takowasabi, I couldn't quite taste the wasabi in the ikipiri, but instead the sauce was more sweet like Chinese sweet-and-sour chicken?? Takoyaki was fresh and hot when it came out. The almond tofu was alright; it came in a little cup and was pretty smooth but nothing special in my opinion. The price for the amount of portion per person is so sad living on a student budget... Definitely come in a larger group so you can order lots more and try lots of different things!
Service: Their greetings are my favourite!!! I find it super cute to get that kind of service! Aside from their loud hellos and goodbyes, food came out reasonably promptly and our water was refilled without asking.
Atmosphere: It was around 1:30 when we went so we got seats immediately and it wasn't noisey at all aside from their greetings. For sure, will come back next time as a larger group after dinner when things get more livelier/fun.
Solid Japanese tapas bar.
