As an izakaya lover, i was excited to see such a high rated new izakaya opened near my work. However, my first visit last week was little bit of disappointment.
I agree with most reviewers about service and price.
Japanese staffs were very friendly and humble to customers.
price is truly inexpensive, but.... portion was TOO SMALLLL!!
Salmon Tataki was $7, yes very low, but it had 4 thin slice about 1sq inch each!
I would rather pay $14 and get three or four times more food just like other places.
same with kushi katsu. it was 3 pcs of kushi katsu about a size of dime. not loonie,
not quarter, not even nickel, but whole size of DIME!
I thought GUU's portion was little but Sake Bar Kushi bits them for sure.
my friends and i shared 5-6 dishes with Sapporo but figured it will take forever to fill our tummies like that so we paid the bill and headed to izakaya FIN.
I give three star because of wonderful waiting staff.
