Expect an "authentic izakaya experience" at this midpriced chainlet where the "original", "modern Japanese tapas" offer a "mouthful of mmmm"; servers "yelling out orders" add to the "boisterous" environs, and if a few find the "shouting" "disruptive", "diehards" deem the overall experience "too guud to be true."

In the past, I’ve touched on various reasons why despite the surge of popularity (which is a good thing) and the burgeoning mainstream acceptance of this concept of Japanese drinking-dining in Vancouver that I don’t regularly frequent them, in particular the better known ones that have been exposed in major media outlets.

Loud and crowded- Fun
July 31, 2014

Upstairs on the roof (not the restaurant downstairs- do not make that mistake) this place was packed, it seemed with lots of Asian locals, a younger crowd.

Quite the Experience

This is not your run of the mill Japanese restaurant. Small, noisy but great and different food. We didn't have a reservation but glad we waited. First thing to know- beers are large . Second, you might not know exactly what you are ordering but assume it will be good. Our server didn't speak the best English but didn't matter.... more

In 1993, what is now known as Guu, was the first izakaya to open up in Vancouver. Izakaya can be thought of as Japanese small plates, like tapas, and Guu offers up tasty dishes that are affordable and great for sharing with friends. The Thurlow location is the original space that they opened up and due to their ever-growing success, they have four other locations in Vancouver and have two in... more
