The last time I was here, it was still Guu. I was pleasantly surprised to see the bigger portions being served for some dishes now. The agedashi used to come with one block of tofu in a small bowl. Now it comes with four. We also ordered carbonara udon and kimchi udon, which were rich and filling. I preferred the carbonara but I'll take carbonara in pretty much any way I can have it.
The karaage took a while to come out, but it was worth it. It was perfectly cooked and not too salty. The takoyaki was okay. I think I just have to accept that takoyaki is not my favourite thing in the world, and that's fine. The black sesame ice cream was the perfect end to the meal. I'm glad to see that addition to the menu.
The place was just as lively as I remember. Make sure to make reservations for dinner!
