Guu Original - Vancouver, British Columbia

Really love the service at this restaurant - everyone is so enthusiastic and helpful and nice!!! I also loved the kimchi fried rice - so flavorful and full of umami. We also got the agedashi tofu, smoked salmon salad (a miss), and soup with yam noodles and tofu.

I came to Guu Original because I missed Raku (the former Japanese restaurant in the same location) and was happy to find similar vibes and tastes. Their lunch menu offered less variety as compared with dinner menu, but it has enough choices for you to choose from. Their food is more ... izakaya-style (sort of fast food style that goes with beer). I particularly liked their ebi mayo. Food and services were both wonderful. Pricing is very reasonable considering its location. Read more

Love the little plates and 3 for $15 appetizer choice! You get to taste a lil bit of everything. It’s always quite packed here and hard to get a spot, but the food is really great! Star of the show was the daifuku strawberry dessert with green tea ice cream, ... yum! Read more

🤤IT WAS GUUD TO SEE YOU🍚 Recently revisited @guu_izakaya and was reminded of why this place will forever have a special place in my heart. The ambience, the service, and best of all—the food. Has never failed to satisfy my craving for Japanese food. I was first introduce to Guu when an ... ex of mine brought me to @guu_with_garlic years ago. And ever since that day this Izakaya has held a special place in my heart. Their menu varies by location but you can be sure to find tons of Japanese izakaya classics like chicken karaage, sashimi, and a variety of appetizers. I always order the tonkatsu with egg over rice if I go during lunch time. And their Unagi egg over rice is also *chefs kisses* genuinely the perfect spot for a casual date night or quick lunch. Have you guys tried any of Guu’s chain of restaurants yet? *this post was not sponsored or gifted but please feel free to feed me @guu_izakaya 🥹* ⭐️8.5/10 🤵🏼‍♀️10/10 💰$$ (aprox. $30-50/person) 📍Guu Izakaya | 838 Thurlow St, Vancouver Read more

Always a consistent meal here at Guu. They get busy at all different hours of the day, but their food is always great, one of the best ebi mayo in Vancouver. Service has always been top notch, and it’s a fun experience to come here. They also have decent deals on ... pitchers of beer. It’s one of my personal go-to places when you’re not sure what to eat.
