| - Have you ever had a meal at a restaurant where every single dish was perfect? I'm talking exquisitely delicious with no flaw whatsoever? I can't even begin to think the last time I ever felt like that, but what I do know is that Guu has single-handedly made me believe that there is such a thing!
We ordered the Ebi Mayo (Deep Fried Shrimp with Spicy Mayo), Kinoko Bibimbap, Kabocha Karroke (Pumpkin Croquette stuffed with an Egg), Kakimayo (Oysters with Garlic Mayo, Spinach, and Cheese), and Stir Fried Rapini with Garlic and Soy Sauce.
I am not much of a rice eater, but hot damn. That Bibimbap was one of the best rice dishes I have ever eaten ever! Holy smokes, the combination of the cheese, mushroom, and nori sent me flying to umami heaven. The stone bowl that it came in was so hot that it crisped up the bottom of the rice, giving the entire dish a wonderful texture. A+!
The Kakimayo. Pure bliss. Creamy, rich, oozy, luscious, sinful. Get in my tummy now! God bless whoever invented this, because you have not lived until you've tried it. Not an exaggeration, it's true.
The other dishes were simple but ingenious in execution. I am still wrapping my brain around how they got that rapini to taste that damn good. I make rapini at home all the time, but it never tastes that good!
Oh, also, you can't help but be happy from start to finish of your meal. The staff are incredibly inviting with their collective Welcomes and Goodbyes in Japanese to every single patron that walks in. Seriously, where do they get the energy/drive from? I'm guessing they all have sippy cups in the back filled with Happy Juice to get them through the service, lol!
Overall, one of the most memorable meals I have ever had!
