I went to Guu last night. Guu is an example of Traditional Japanese Tapas (Izakaya). We ordered 8 dishes…and here they are! You’ll notice that…it’s somewhat expensive for the food you get. You have to remember that this place is a quality > quantity thing…so don’t go if you’re starving and want some all-you-can-eat thing.
This was good…salmon, raw egg, seaweed….you mix what’s in the bowl, wrap a spoonful in seaweed and eat. It’s good! My seaweed broke and I made a mess when I ate it….but that might be a personal failure
Deep fried squid tentacles. Better than the tentacles at like, a chinese restaurant. Salty enough and not as heavy as it could be…
I imagine this is pretty bad for you…as there’s a lot of butter. Presentation was coolest though, a seashell…Love it!
This might have been one of the best dishes we ordered…raw tuna, but the crunchy garlic chips make it taste awesome.
These were simple…the prawn were huge! Like eating…well, a huge shrimp tempura with spicy mayo.
Better/more interesting than the Okonomiyaki House that I’ve been to…this one comes with yakisoba noodles so it’s the “filler” dish…good for fillign up your stomach!
MMmmm…deep fried chicken…’nuff said
This was Z’s favorite but I didn’t care for it. That much cheese…regardless of being deep-fried…didn’t really do it for me. I guess if you like a good chunk of warm, somewhat melted cheese.
Overall, these 8 dishes, with a beer, cost about $60….pretty expensive for a dinner but a good, fun experience. Due to it’s proximity to my place, I’ll be sure to go again… :)
