I like Guu, and Do i love big greasy bowl of ramen with few crispy gyoza! Hells yea.
So i heard mixed opinion about this place. But friend of mine said if I like tonkotsu ramen i'll love this place. Means broth will be thick, greasy and somewhat stinky with that distinctive pork bone smell. Since i'm disgusting like that I like all the characteristic of tonkotsu ramen i mentioned above. So... Hoora! I could not wait any longer.
On my 1st visit i was greeted by grumpy host (i'm also very unlucky like that) and wait out side for 30 min before i was seated in front of kitchen where I had pleasant sauna experience through out my meal. Air conditioner please! I'm sure Guu can afford one... Or five.
I got shoyu ramen with regular soup with pork shoulders, for share we got gyoza (4pcs), spicy chicken karagee (6 pcs).
1. Shoyu ramen
I liked it. Soup was thicker than Kenzo and much less salty than Ajisan. Tender pork meat and half boiled egg was soft and yummy.
2. Gyoza
The way they panfry it seems different from what i expected, but gyoza it self was really good. Juicy and greasy.
3. Spicy chicken karagee
Oh yea, beer please!! I almost cried out loud. If it wasn't for their notorious portion I might have. Spicy sauce somehow taste bit like that rooster chili sauce in everyone's kitchen shelve, but was different. Crispy and yummy. I wish this one comes in super size.
That was my 1st visit, i don't have much to say about on my 2nd visit since I had pretty much the same experience. Eating hot noodle soup in front of gate way to hell called ramen bar.
I'd go back for food and calpico (drink)
I'd think twice for waiting in line and hell like temperature. Stop seating me in front of kitchen!!
