| - LOVE IT.
Japanese food itself is already delicious and impressive and Guu takes that to another level!
When you first walk in, you're loudly greeted by something (friendly i think!) in Japanese by chefs and servers. The interior is really nice, I love the warm and lively vibes it gives off. The patio chairs and tables are quite tiny, but they had just the right amount of room surprisingly!
The servers all seem to speak fluent Japanese and takes your order in japanese. Everything seems as authentic as it can get! I ordered the Fried Brie Cheese first, which was AMAZING. The berry sauce accentuates and lightens the dish wonderfully, it's so delicious! It's nice, crisp, and the cheese just oozes! The wasabi duck was also stunning, it was so light and refreshing. There is a light hint of wasabi and I really liked how the seasoning didn't overpower the taste of the duck, it was cooked perfectly for my personal liking and was delicious. There was a whole lot of flavour in this one.
I also had tempura green bean with the green tea salt, it was okay - nothing special. The green tea salt was interesting, though. The takoyaki was amazing!! Nice and crisp, full of filling and flavour. There was also the oysters which were very good, the oysters were large and weren't overcooked at all! The Pumpkin croquette wasn't as good as I thought it would be, it was pretty simple but still delicious nonetheless. Just not as exciting and I think the egg was a little overcooked. The Yaki Udon was good but not spectacular, it was very saucy and the noodles were nicely cooked. The Yukke was interesting, I've never had it before and all of the ingredients when eaten by themselves was pretty unpleasant in my opinion. It was bitter and left a bad taste in the mouth but when combined with the egg yolk, it was quite pleasing actually!
Last but not least, for dessert I had the fried banana. I love fried bananas and I order them every time if I can, Guu did not disappoint. Although I am not a fan of coconut, this dish was pleasing and satisfying! It was nice, crisp, and sweet! They also give you grapes with your bill which is a nice touch!
Overall, amazing place and a definite must go whenever possible! Love the energy and food, everything is reasonably priced. Although portions are small, it's reasonable and delicious! Indeed it's Guu'd!
