   Guu is consistent, I can always count on good food, great for drinking and sharing. The place is very energetic. We were a party of four, and we had the deep fried oysters, this was done very well, the negitoro was fresh, as was the tuna and salmon tataki, love the beef tataki, it was seasoned well, tender, and flavourful. We had a refreshing pitcher of white citrus sangria. The servers were attentive, refilled our water often. The only thing they are missing is ac, it was uncomfortably warm inside.

   Awesome food and drinks, nice service. The entire restaurant is very Japanese style. If you like Izakaya, this is the best place to go.

   As always, it’s a consistent meal and in today’s inflationary times, this particular Guu holds it’s value very well with more than reasonable prices.

   What an experience! Our first time at a place like this and especially as vegetarians, it did not disappoint. The staff went out of their way to welcome us, help us decide what to get as vegetarians, made some really tasty food and sent us off as enthusiastically as we were welcomed in. 100% will try again next time we visit Vancouver

    The food was good, everything was good we went on 2 dinners a day in between at this same place that’s how good the food was. We ordered a lot since the price was good as well and the staff were all hospitable so Thank You Guu Original! We had a great time!

    We normally eat dinner at Guu but lunch was excellent and we were pleased to get a table early on. It was a quieter atmosphere and pared down lunch menu but the quality and taste of the food was on par with the dinner menu. Very friendly service from the wait staff.

    This place is so amazing in my opinion. Upon entry, you’re greeted by the staff and cook… it felt like I was back in Japan again. Food was so fresh and delicious and amazing. Every time I come here I always get the fukahire because I love their jelly fish. My mom and I ordered so much food and it only came out to be around $60-70. We were so full after too. For record, 23, 6 feet , ~180lb and play a lot of sports. I have to spend so much money to eat a lot usually but it’s so much cheaper here and food is amazing. God bless this resteraunt I hope you guys live forever. Staff was very attentive and polite as well. Super great staff.

    Izakaya is popular dining experience, it’s everywhere in Japan, my native land! No sushi or Tempura yet you get tapas like small portioned dishes that are meant to share. Guu Original serves great dishes like Negitoro, Karaage chicken or sautéed udon noodles and delicious cheesecake. The service is attentive, polite and courteous. Atmosphere at Guu is lively and as authentic as it can be, feeling like transported to Tokyo
