| - I've probably been to a Guu (either the original location or here) at least 30 times in the last few years?
What can I say, this place has the best environment, fast service, delectable cooked Japanese foods, a generous selection of Japanese alcohol and cocktails, a boisterous atmosphere year round. It's like there's a party at this place day in and day out. Sometimes there are sushi selections too, like the lobster tail sashimi.
I've probably had every single item on their menu at least once or twice, some thrice, some many, many more.
I go here so often we have a set menu scribbled down on my phone that we just hand over to the waitress. It's just that g'uuuud!
You must try the yaki udon, my favourite dish from this place. It's tapas style so portions are big enough for just one person, but between sampling their other foods, it may be enough. Me, I like to order at least two plates of this dish everytime I'm there. It's a pan fried, perfectly seasoned udon noodles with sprinkling of sesame seed, scallions, seaweed and beef! Basked in their secret sauce of course. It's to die for!
We always have a helluva time going here, whether it be just the two of us, or a grand party with 20 of our closest friends for the gf's birthday. They will also sing you a overly, loud and rambunctious great birthday song, hell, the ENTIRE RESTAURANT will when it's your birthday. Your photo is taken by the staff, you're given a copy and it's posted on their Facebook page!
Going to Guu is a experience all on its own, from the moment you are enthusiastically greeted at the doors to when you leave.. it's a true gem of Toronto that originated from Vancouver.
Until then, my gigantic mug of Sapporo and I bids you kanpai!!! (CHEEERS!!!)
