| - Guu runs as right as a Tokyo train.
If you ever, in life, learn to miss the atmosphere of Tokyo or Osaka, Guu will take you back. It is a holodeck of atmospheric amazingness that transports you because of the amazing service and energy of its staff. How many restaurants can claim that without being underwritten by Hollywood or big fake plastic doodads?
There is a legitimate, infectious cheer in every Guu I've been too. The whole staff belts out your arrival and departure like therapy that should exist. Yes, it's all business and no, everybody doesn't know your name. But it is 100% world-class Japanese hospitality right here in T.O.! Irrashaii lucky b!#ches!
There are an awful lot of deep fried tapas-style offerings if you're not careful to ask (or uh, look at the pictures), but who cares? You're gonna get fat anyway. Food is yum, well-presented, comes fast, great portions and is affordable. Asahi Black is always my drink of choice, but am easily sidetracked by the sake-cocktail menu.
We were a-holes and out-sat a bit past our 2-hour seating limit. But the gentle Japanese staff kept filling our water, no match for our our passive-agressiveness. They should take a page from the Mandarin Buffet, tho. They deserve the turnover!
