| - I love Guu any way you slice it. But particularly after my recent string of well-documented izaka-tastrophes, returning here was an epic occasion not dissimilar to the end of Alfonso CuarĂ³n's Gravity (except Sandra Bullock is me and Earth is deep-fried Brie).
What you're in for at either location:
+ Noise
+ Inventive, flavourful food (I've never met a dish here I didn't love, but my favourites are the explosively tasty pumpkin croquette [$5] and the fresh Maguro Tataki [seared BC tuna, $7.30] which, also like the film Gravity, is out of this world)
+ Decent (albeit slightly watery) drinks even if you skip sake
+ Fantastic atmosphere, from the lobby down to the water closets
+ Appropriate for all dietary restrictions
+ Speedy service
+ Awesome staff
+ NOISE. I'm serious, if you don't like it loud, go somewhere else.
Who you should bring:
+ Me
+ Someone you want to celebrate with
+ Out-of-towners, who will be impressed
+ Your parents, who will be too overwhelmed by the ambiance to ask why you're not married yet
+ People who are nice to look at but terrible to talk to
+ Second dates, who will think you're super fun
+ Forever dates, because they deserve return visits to Guu
+ Last dates, because no one will hear them crying over the noise
Kanpai!
