| - I had an amazing experience at Guu. Having never been to Japan, something about the atmosphere made me feel like I was there - adding a very nice touch to my overall experience.
I wouldn't recommend going in a group larger than 4. There are no reservations, and operates as a first-come, first-serve basis. You basically have to get your name on the list and wait until they call your group. For my group of 4, we ended up waiting nearly 2 hours - but it was worth it! Mind you, you can't wait inside...
As you enter and leave, you're greeted very loudly and happily by all the staff. The restaurant is fairly small, but is decorated very nicely. Their "chandelier" of many bulbs is definitely worth taking a photo of.
The food portioning is small and a bit expensive, but very delicious. I believe each dish is meant to be shared, so you will probably end up getting 4-5 dishes (at least). For the atmosphere and food, it's definitely one of the restaurants in Toronto to give a try!
For my group of 4, it came out to about $60pp. This includes an alcoholic beverage for each and probably 7-9 dishes. For a shorter wait time, I'd recommend either going very early (6pm onwards) or towards the end of the night (9:30pm onwards).
