"You come to Gugu Room for the scene (disco ball, DJs) as much as the food. Although this LES spot bills itself as a Filipino-Japanese izakaya, most dishes here are Filipino. But the cod katsu sisig is one of the mash-ups that make you wish they offered more fusion things. A blanket of calamansi aioli is drizzled on top of barely breaded cod with crunchy onions and potent red chilis (get them on the side if you can't take too much heat). The flaky cod is a nice substitute for the more commonly used milkfish." - nikko duren, kenny yang
