Looking for an eccentric restaurant? Filled with endless cold beers, wildly creative dishes, all mixed in with pomp and circumstance one could expect from an izakaya? You've come to the right place.
Guu Izakaya is not for the quiet yelpers, it's an electrifying restaurant that serve fantastic Japanese food that's hard to disappoint. The commotion starts when you enter the restaurant, where individual staff members will all greet you in unison of your arrival. Once sat down, you're presented with multiple sharing dishes that are quiet honestly, all delicious and experimental. After dined here multiple times, the old standby dishes you must try are the baked oysters, fried karaage, and any of the salad. Each dish are only bite sized, and while one could argue that it's on the more expensive side, it definitely delivers on flavours.
Guu also makes their guests feel part of a big family, by catering to special requests such as birthday celebrations, where they will make you feel special by cheering and taking a photo of you, as well as hyping up a table that's attempting to do the sake bombs.
So, if you want more than just a good meal, come to Guu for a festive experience. Don't expect to be stuffed, expect to be entertained.
