Recently visited Guu izakaya forthw first time on church and college :) We lined up at 5pm since we were worried that there were not going to be any seats for a table of 11 :) Fortunately, when we got there the line was not too long.

The staff greeted our party with amazing enthusiasm (which was a little overwhelming). With such a big party, we were able to try out a lot of different dishes at the place. Below are the pictures :)

Overall, I loved the uniqueness of the food there. The taste was amazing. Although it was a little on the pricey side, I thought it wa well worth the splurge :)

Pork Cheeks  - Delicious and tender, although a little oily
 Grilled Salmon - A little too fatty for my likings, but it was grilled very well and crispy!
Fried Calamari  - Ordered it because my boyfriend loves calamari, but I thought it wasn't crispy enough
Cheese and Kimchi BiBimBap - Loved the cheesy taste with Kimchi :) It had this zesty taste! One of my favs that night
Salmon Sashimi - Probably my favourite dish of the night! It was favourful and juicy. The mayo and pepper really makes a difference though :D
Fried Blue Cheese - The blue cheese mixed in with the sweet sauce was like a perfect combination of salty and sweet together :D
 Beef Noodles - Do not remember the exact name. It was delicious and filling for once, but I felt like it wasn't anything extremely special and wasn't worth the 7 dollars we had to pay for it.
Squid Pancakes - I thought the Squid balls were much better. This was interesting and it was more crispy :)
 Grilled Pork - This was done very well so that the pork was still juicy :)
Squid Balls - One of my all time favourite street food items. Although they make it like 100x better here!
Beef Sashimi - Another one of my favourite dishes of the night. I seriously think mayo makes a huge difference in all of these. The beef tasted so fresh and juicy!!
 Fried Shrimp - It was good and the shrimp tasted a lot fresher than other Japanese places but I didn't feel like it was anything different or special
 Cheese Oysters - Probably the best dish of the night. I love oysters and cheese so this was the perfect combination for me
