Guu

I finally fulfilled my crave for Guu this weekend. This time, I decided to go to the new one (at bloor and bathurst). It's a lot bigger and lucky me, I got there early so I didn't have to wait.
I noticed the waiters and waitresses were the ones from the first Guu (on Church street). Makes me wonder if everyone moved to help out at the new one..whos left at the first one?

The menu is slightly different than the first one. Which was good, felt like another new experience.

Oden. the assorted fish cakes.
Dibs on the big white piece to your far right. It's so soft, the texture is like your eating a fish flavored marshmallow.

I normally don't like eating tuna sushi. But I must say, this was one of the best tuna I've had so far. $3.5 for one piece!

scallop sashimi, with an uni mixed sauce I believe. This was really good.

salmon sushi with cream cheese.

This was basically takoyaki, except baked in a pot instead. I found this interesting, different and quite filling. The only downside was I don't think i tasted any of the bacon or squid that it should have.

The cod rice burger. I actually wasn't expecing the cod to be fried. Still good, I think the beef rice burger might have been a better choice though.

I thought this dessert was special. Inside those fried sesame balls is a 'tang yuan' with red bean paste inside. So basicaly it was like a sweet paste inside a chewy dough ball within a crunchy sesame ball.

To your right is the almond tofu dessert. I thought it was a bit too sweet.

Food: Amazing.

Service: Excellent. They are very polite and super friendly.
Price: The place is pricy and the plates do come in small portions. But don't forget, its about the quality.

Atmosphere/Decoration: An authentic japanese izakaya place. Loud, but if you like crowds, this is the place to be. I really like the decoration too.
Overall: A must visit, it's worth the experience.
