Guu was a hit and a miss for me.. I loved the atmosphere and the service but some of the food are not worth the bucks! I will indicate which one of the following pictures of the food I thought it was worth it and a must try! These dishes ranges from $6-$10 (not sure about this because I was way too hungry that I just let my friends who have tried Guu before order the food, I don't even know what they were ordering (which is why I exactly don't know what the price were and the names of the dishes>< SORRYY).. I was practically there to sit and wait for food to come to me =]. We re-ordered a few dishes because we really didn't get full at all.
The captions are COLOUR coded for a clear overview of what kind of food I would recommend or what I would re-order if I were to go back again:
GREEN: Will order this again!
ORANGE: mmm, maybe, probably not
RED: No way!, rather save up those bucks and order a Big Mac!

| Octopus Balls? Did I say we were hungry?, yet we ate right away and forgot to take any pictures!! Tasted very good but nothing too special that I can't get elsewhere for cheaper |
 |
| Jellyfish Salad? This was very very good, a MUST Pricey but worth it because you can't find it elsewhere |
 |
| Beef Udon Their udon are so good!!, also a MUST Very chewy and tasty, wish it came more in that plate LOL |
 |
| Large Sweet Shrimp Very fresh, big and meaty A must, even if it's pricey but it's way too good to pass on this |
 |
| Baked Oysters Yummmmie.. but made mostly out of mayo, cheese, and fillings like potatoes, mushrooms. Oyster itself was very small. For the price, I can get better oysters elsewhere. Best if it's raw oysters!!! I recommend DIANA'S SEAFOOD for the freshest and cheapest seafood s2. |
 |
| Scallops Ahhhh.. soo blurry, oh well... This was average but not bad, only came with 3 medium scallops and some mushrooms. Would recommend this but I can totally make this at home by grilling it with butter and season it with salt and pepper |
 |
| Grilled Cheese I disliked this even thought I LOVE cheese but I don't like eating sweet things so the dressing on this was not my thing. Also dislike fried food so that's another no no |
 |
| Spicy Tuna Taste good, but nothing special and very small portion |
 |
| I think this was salmon sushi and tuna rolls This was so good, much better without the mayo but this is a MUST =] |
 |
| Creamy Udon with Bacon We were way too hungry still so we ordered more udon, this was the one with bacon and again we dig in so quickly because we were THAT hungry LOL. Very creamy and chewy, another MUST =] |
 |
| Fried Fish This dish was alright, only had 3 pieces of fish on a bed of fried fish bones. Not worth it at all, not that yummy either =P |
 |
| Black Cod This was sooo good!, I think it was black cod but all black cod taste just as good. Wished this piece was larger too =P. Recommend this too even thought it's so pricey. It's a MUSTx100 |
 |
| Salmon Sushi This one is a must too, it's suppose to be 3 different flavours but we had 5 people so we each only had half a piece LOL. We did re-order another set of these but I don't think it taste that much different. All I noticed was that two of these were partly grilled. |
 |
| Partly Grilled Salmon? This was goooddd tooo!. Another must =] |
 |
| Beef Sashimi Nop, this had NO taste at alll!!!!, very disappointed. Do not recommend this dish at all. |
 |
| Almond Tofu Their dessert was sooo yummy, I told you guys I don't like sweet things right? So, if I think this was good then it MUST of been very good. Very soft and fresh tasting maybe because it was cold? Also loved it because it had a very strong taste of almond and its not super sweet at all. LOVE one of the best thing of the night =] |
Overall, I love some dishes and hated some. Dishes were small, pricey and made out of too much sauce, mayo and dressings. However, I loved the freshness and quality of food also loved the atmosphere and the service they provided. This is one of those places where you would only go once in a while rather than going very often because it's very pricey and it's not filling at all. The bill came up to $40 per person (we had 5 people, and we weren't that full but we were satisfied). The washrooms were very clean and spacious, loved how they provided things like toothpick, mouth wash and pads!! haha never seen other places like that, so I love it. Next time I go, I think I need to order more udon and sushi/rolls in order to get full =P.
Have you guys tried GUU before? Do you LOVE it or HATE it... or in the middle kinda like me?...I don't think all the hype is needed around GUU, I mean it's a wonderful place to enjoy authentic Japanese food and drinks with great service and atmosphere but if you're gonna need some McDonalds right after then why not save up that $40 and go else where that still has very good atmosphere, nice Japanese food and services? I don't know maybe because I hate it when I eat and don't get full =P. I would recommended WATAMI, it's not own by Japanese but they serve some GOOOODD sushi, trust me... and at reasonable price s2!
