I thought it fitting to visit the first Toronto Guu before I head back to origins of Guu. I liked the Sakabar, and the Izakaya was comparable. Full disclosure dictates that I tell you my favourite thing about Guu isn't the food - it's the cocktails.
The same thing that annoys me abou tall Guus annoyed me - the incessant yelling - but that's no one's fault, I just happen to be more grandma than I look.
My three buddies and I knew better so we went at 6:00 pm. Great timing, a minute wait and then our insane meal began. I think we ordered one of everything, including the deluxe size almond tofu. Here's a random sample of our meal, enjoy, don't forget to wipe the drool: ebi mayo, scallop wrapped in bacon, unagi rice, fried brie, and my absolute favourite of the night - the baked oyster.
All in all it was good. Not everything was amazing, but nothing is horrible. We might have overdosed on the fried items and the risk in doing so is that everything starts to taste the same. Again, VanGuu is better than TOGuu...I suppose it's a good thing I'm going back then isn't it.
We ended the night by sharing the giant size amond tofu - surprisingly yummy. I don't usually like tofu desserts, but the almond flavour was subtle and the texture of the tofu was heavenly.
