Genuinely had a fantastic experience with some friends just completely chilled
Thank you very much for your feedback! We hope we can welcome you again soon!
It's a very pleasant experience of good food and good service. The atmosphere was so relaxing that I even forgot I was right in the middle of downtown Vancouver.
I highly recommend this place and surely will return myself.
Thank you very much for your review! We hope you drop by again soon for a quick lunch, or even for dinner! Arigato!
Food was hot and delicious! One of our favourites 😊

Absolutely love Guu Garden and highly recommend it! First time doing all of our ordering online while sitting at the table ... seemed slightly weird at first, but it's the best! Get a fresh drink when you want it! Order more food when you're ready! Leave as soon as you are done. No waiting around trying to get your server's attention. Brilliant.
Thank you very much for your detailed review, and we appreciate your understanding in regards to our COVID-19 safety protocols. We hope you drop by again soon! Arigato!
Probably one of the nicest patios I've been to. The service was friendly as well. Only real complaint was that the food menu was very limited and the prices were a bit steep for the portions that we paid for.
Thank you very much for your review! We hope to be able to welcome you back again soon!

Service was terrible. Server was very unkind. I felt uncomfortable to eat. I asked for the side plate. But she brought side plate when she finished cleaned the table. And when she put the plate, she almost thorw away on the table. I did not enjoy stay there at all.

Food was delicious and was very impressed with the covid set up. Definitely felt safe with the new measures.
Thank you very much for your review! We hope to see you again soon, arigato!
The ambience was wonderful, nice quiet patio away from everyone. But the food/menu could do with some work. I can say the karaage chicken was probably my favourite thing on the menu. The duckbreast was ok. The food was just ok for me.
Thank you very much for your review! We always appreciate feedback on our food and restaurant. We apologize that we were not able to meet your standards and hope to satisfy you on your next visit!
A lovely heated patio! Feels like a getaway in the middle of the city! Definitely recommend this hidden gem! :)

As always, the food was excellent and we felt safe eating there.
Thank you very much for your review, and following our COVID-19 safety protocols! Please come by again soon. Arigato!
A little bit finicky with the ordering on the phone. Accidentally ordered two of the same item but didn’t mean to. I wished the service staff would have recognized that that could have been a mistake and verified first if we really wanted two of the same thing.
That’s a bit of the disconnect you get without a true server taking your orders but other than that the experience was good.
Thank you very much for your feedback. We apologize for any inconveniences caused with our online ordering system. We appreciate your input, and will do our best to work through these issues.
Love this place. Food is 10/10 highly recommend the eggplant and chicken knee cartridge.
Thank you very much for your review! Please come by again soon! Arigato!
Nice place, polite friendly staff, great food! You will like it!
Thank you very much for recommending our restaurant! We hope you drop by again soon!
Always a guud time at any Guu location. Delicious food and great quality. My experience was only damped by my own miscalculation - I ordered too much. I did not realize the chirashi-don would be so big and ordered an extra tuna tataki. The food is always fresh at at all Guu locations.
Thank you very much for your review! Please come by again soon for lunch (or dinner)! Arigato Gozaimasu!
Dine out menu was extremely disappointing
Thank you very much for your review. We apologize for your experience dining with us, and we hope we can satisfy you next time you drop by.
Freezing cold on the patio. With a lot of cold dishes on the dine out menu. Took a long time for tea to arrive and hot water refills. Very cold by the end of dinner.
Thank you for your review. We apologize for your less-than-par experience dining with us. We hope we can provide you with a higher quality experience next time you visit.
We ordered 5 small dishes and every one was prepared thoughtfully and at such high quality!
Thank you very much for your review! We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again soon. Arigato!
The dineout menu was terrible. The dishes were all bland or actively tasted awful. The hot dishes were lukewarm.
Thank you very much for your feedback. We apologize for your experience at our restaurant. We hope we can provide you with a better experience at our restaurant next time you stop by.
Dine out menu was a waste of money, nothing worth eating because it didn’t even taste Japanese
Thank you very much for your review. We apologize that our menu did not exceed your expectations. We will work to increase the variety of dishes so that we can let all of our patrons enjoy their dining experience.
Always amazing food and great value. Please restock the Harami beef skirt!!
Thank you very much for your review! We hope to have the beef skirt back on the menu again soon! Arigato!
Absolutely delicious food for all tastes and purposes.
My favourite restaurant in Vancouver - will come back many, many times!
Thank you very much for your review! We look forward to seeing you again soon! Arigato!
The experience was excellent. I booked for a late evening dinner and readily confirmed, however the government announced operating restrictions and we were promptly informed of the fact. I received a call from Yoko explaining the situation and were still offered an option to book an earlier schedule. Ordering was a breeze through a QR Code on the table. Payment was via my Apple Pay including the tip. We were served promptly and the service was friendly and attentive. Every now and then our servers had to move around briskly to serve other diners, but we were not short of their kind attention. The food servings were just right in apportionment, but what got me were the flavors. I do keto and since it was New Year’s Eve anyway, I had mentally prepared myself to have some carbs and undergo the keto flu the next day. I have no regrets whatsoever! My favorites were the eel rice porridge (put that wasabi ball into the broth and get your mind blown with the explosion of spicy flavors and sensations. The other dish I had was their beef; it’s hard to describe but it was succulent and flavorful.
Thank you very much for your detailed review! Thank you for your understanding about the last-minute changes to your reservation, and we're glad we were able to book you in earlier. Hope to see you again soon!
