Guu recently opened up it’s 7th new restaurant, 5th in Vancouver, Guu Garden. It’s located at Nelson & Hornby, where Okada Sushi use to be. It’s a little hard to find but I guess it’s because of the construction that’s going on at the building they’re in and having an inadequate wooden sign, barely legible that only comes out at night, doesn’t help much either. Once you’ve walked up the stairs, you’ll immediately notice how much more space this restaurant has. It’s definitely not your average cramped Guu restaurant. The interior decoration sticks to the same wooden theme and looks more as a food restaurant than a bar restaurant. As you’ll expect, the atmosphere is the same; however, I find the chef here a little too loud for my liking. Don’t sit at the bar unless you’ll enjoy getting spooked from he chef’s yelling from time to time.
The origin of tuna tataki, $5.80.
Be sure to have a few pieces of onion in the same bite.
Tumaki hand rolled with tuna, green onions & shiso herb, $3.80.
I don’t normally eat hand rolled cones but these are amazing.
Mayo grilled miso marinated black cod, $8.50.
Better than sex.
Lamp-paccio, $7.80.
Order this if you want something out of the ordinary from Guu. Having this was like a fresh breathe of air. It was definitely different and it’s a temporary escape from the usual seafood and fried food I normally order.
Salmon ruibé, $7.80.
The salmon is served semi-frozen, which provides that crispy texture when you start to bite around with it. I love frozen sashimi.
Chicken Karrage, $?.??.
