Great place! I used to go the Guu Izakaya's back in Vancouver and I love both of them over here. The food is always good, the atmosphere is always upbeat. It's a great place to stop in for a small bite of big flavour with a friend, to have a party at, or even to just go solo if you are brave enough. The place is always packed, and everyone seems to have a good time. Prices are reasonable though a bit high.
expect a lot of noise, so maybe not the best place to bring an infant. It's loud, Bright and fun. I'm not the biggest seafood fan, but love most of what they have here.
