I tried this place last night with my family. There was a total of 6 of us and i had been in line at Guu south of KOKONI for 1hr. It started raining and my grandmother was with us, so i decided to walk on over to this place.
Environment: the restaurant was completely empty. During the duration of out stay there only 2 tables had filled up. (Saturday night, 7-930 ish)
The restaurant was clean and the decor seemed decent.
Service: i'd give this a 5 star. The waitress were completely helpful and recommended a good sake and perfect amount of food for us to order.
we received grilled salmon on the house as well.
My teacup was never empty.
food:
we ordered:
takoyaki
tako wasabi
japanese pancake
fried kaki (fried oysters) (kinda greasy)
cream corn croquette (kinda greasy)
grilled mackerel
seafood udon (Grandma gave it two thumbs up)
20pc assorted sushi tray (rice was perfect)
10pc assorted sashimi (amazing assortment)
3 orders of uni sushi (not so fresh)
warm sake -$8 /bottle (great deal for 8 shots worth)
comp salad, noodle soup thingy, miso soup. (grilled salmon on the house)
i understand that this is not guu, but its still pretty good for an alternative and its definitely worth a try if you are not down for a 3hr wait line and you have a big group of people.
