“Absolutely amazing restaurant ! The food is all so fresh and quality is amazing. Staff is friendly and efficient.
I highly recommend tuna or salmon sushi, the karaage chicken.
And get the corn entrée ! (You can’t order enough !)“

“Guu Izakaya is a popular chain of Japanese pubs (izakayas) in Vancouver known for its lively atmosphere, delicious and authentic food, and friendly service. Customers consistently praise the quality and taste of the dishes, especially the fried chicken, yaki udon, and beef tongue with garlic sauce.

This place is lively and full of energy. From the moment you are escorted to your seats, the whole staff greets you in Japanese. They have the usual menu and a weekly special menu.

My favourite spot to sit is right up at the counter where you can see the cooks do their dishes. It’s literally a dinner and a show. It’s much more enjoyable.

This location has been here for many years and is well known and established. They are well respected and is a heavyweight contender in the izakya scene. This place is my top place to eat in Vancouver. I’ve had many meals here and many memorable moments.“

“Amazing Japanese Yakitori Izakaya in Vancouver!! 😉😋🥇🥰🧑🏻‍🍳👩🏻‍🍳💪🏼✌🏼👍🏼👏“

“First time for us, attended a private function. Food was delicious and filling. The service was outstanding and extremely attentive. They had a vast array of sake and after ordering the sake flight (sampler tray), we found a few options that we really liked and ordered a couple of bottles. The sashimi was very fresh and delicious. There was an assortment of dishes that we tried that were on par with many of the high end restaurants, such as the egg omelet with crab ankake and the BBQ eel Unagi rice bowl. Street parking was easy to find. We’d definitely come back to Hashigo Sake Bar.“

“One day you will eat at Pizza Coming Soon“

“I’ve been there a couple of times, and I loved the food and affordable prices! Got the Taco Rice (bottom one on the pic), portion size is decent (not too big, not too small), tastes great. Staff were nice, the only issue is that when we were seated outside, it took a while to call the waitress. They were busy with other customers inside, but the ones on the patio feel left out. Overall, quality and taste of food is good, prices are very generous!“

“good food, service and friendly staff 👌“

“Hello: We had a very good experience. My Diva cocktail was delish. We had a window seat which was nice to look out over Gastown. Sashimi salad was excellent great dressing. Food came surprisingly quickly and was piping hot. We ordered the chicken Kara-age the chicken inside was super tender and outside crisp and hot. The octopus Takoyaki was great dipping sauce a delicous accompaniment. The Beef Udon (Guuu'd Yaki Udon) was good that dish could perhaps have had a stronger sauce it was quite mild tho the bonito flake gave it a great flavor. We would definately come here again!“

“Good food, good service, authentic Japanese.“
