   The good: -Food, for the most part, was very good. -Staff were extremely friendly. -Decor is really nice. -Drinks were delicious The not so good: -Big Prawn Tempura were not good we'll and very chewy, almost like rubber. Maybe it was just a bad batch but probably won't order again. -The Sake Bomb celebrations are too frequent and very loud. During my dinner they did it like 5 times and it was really disruptive and annoying after a while. I was over it to be honest. All in all, a great restaurant with great food and drinks. If you could handle the loud celebrations, you'll love this place.

   Delicious meal, fun atmosphere despite being more calm than it used to be. Enjoyed our meal but the service was a little neglectful. We would have liked to order additional drinks and dishes but couldnt get service sitting at the counter. Not the best night I’ve had here.

   The new menu is not even close in quality to the old Guu, very disappointing. Will not return

   Some outstanding dishes (salmon carpaccio, fried chicken, sweet potato croquettes, matcha crème brûlée). Some decent (truffle fries, miso soup). Some not so good: salad overloaded with noodles, sushi slathered with mayo. Overall, a little too calorific/greasy to rise above 3 stars.

   Die Aburi sushi sind mit Abstand das beste sushi was ich jemals gegessen habe. Qualität und Service sehr gut. Preis bei so einer Qualität auch gerechtfertigt. Super Laden!

   Shockingly small proportions. Food flavor and prep fine. Good service. Noisy, drafty, loud music.
