Guu

1698 Robson.
IZAKAYA

my favorite of the Guu's is Guu with Garlic on Robson . For izakaya, Guu Robson and Kingyo (on Denman) are at the top of my list. Favorites are the daikon salad, salmon carpaccio, pumpkin balls, and kim chi.

The other Guus (838 Thurlow and 375 Water Street) are great. At the Guu in Gastown, the spinach gomae is unbelievable.
