"2"^^ . . . "Headed to Guu SakaBar on Boxing Day at Bloor and Bathurst. The location use to be home to Burger King. Its 1 of 2 locations in Toronto. I had no warning on how this place operates. \n\nI arrive to meet some friends only to enter to cheers from all the staff. Alittle caught off guard my first thought was is this a Japanese Licks? The place is packed and buzzing with conversation.\n\nI locate my friends and walk to their table which is sunk into the floor. Quite unique. I've already failed the Japanese culture as my friends tell me I was supposed to take my shoes off at the door. Are you kidding me? I look down at their feet. OUCH. Had I just broken some sacred rule? Remove my shoes quickly and return them to the front of the restaurant.\n\nThe uncomfortable feeling goes away as I am served a double pint of Saporro Beer in a giant stein. I had checked out the online menu before I went so I was aware that this would be a night of trying new things. It ended up being just like a Japanese Dim Sum. We ordered a number of dishes to share between the 4 of us. Firsts for me were Octopus and Oysters which I have managed to stay away from up to this point in my life.\n\nService was fast and attentive. Beer was cheap. Food was slightly above average. \n\nThe restuarant had a neat promotional gimmick which had us filling out New Year's postcards which they would then mail out for us to a close friend. Mom and Dad ended up getting the postcard. Who else's address do I know?\n\nAnyway, definately worth checking out if you want to try something completely unique and different."^^ . "4"^^ . "2"^^ .
