| - This Izakaya place which is linked to Guu Izakaya's empire, serving small plates and tasty rice and noodles dishes. Went there after work with a friend for a few pints of Sapporo and quick bites.
We ordered a pitcher of beer, the Tuna Tataki on the special menu, the (justifiably) famous Fried calamari, the Udon with Roe and Kimchi and the Unagi bibimbap. The Tataki was fresh, smokey, it was topped with smoked shishito pepper, and a mayo-based sauce. It was good but they could have dropped the mayo. The Unagi Bibimbap was definitely a Japanese interpretation of the Korean classic, With a strong seaweed and Unagi presence. It was deliciously succulent; however, the rice could have been a tad dryer. The calamari is one of Guu's most famous dish, and it is understandable why. It's amazing, sweet, crispy, spicy, creamy will be the best way to describe the bite. The Udon was also good, chewy, with the taste contrast between the kimchi and the fish roe in coating the noodles.
Scored 40$ with drinks and a (generous) tip. Service was great tho.
