| - Guu-ya!
Last night was my first (and definitely not last) trip to Guu. A group of us has been dying to get our butts over there and we finally made it happen. Luckily, we didn't deal with any wait times - got there for 5pm and only waited about 10 mins while they finished prepping. Even that was awesome. You could hear the energy bustling inside.
I've been told by friends that this is as close to an authentic Izakaya as you can get and I love it. The litre-sized Sapporos are a bonus! The food is of great quality and presentation is great as well.
It was a group of four of us and we started off with Sashimi Salad, Takoyaki, and Kaki Furai. They were all yummy and set the expectations for the rest of the night. Next we ordered Gyu Carpaccio, Maguro Tataki, Gindara, Karubi, Ebimayo, Enoki Hotate Bacon, BBQ Pork, Osaka Fries, and a few other dishes that are on their new menu. ALL of it was delicious - some more than others, but all in all, incredible flavours.
From the warm, friendly and enthusiastic welcome, to the send-off, our experience was top-notch. Only downside to this place is that you can't make a night of being here. Two-hour seating time and you're out. And they'll ask you to leave (politely), but sternly. People are waiting. But, it definitely sets the tone for a fun evening...I can't wait to go back.
