Gugu room is the best. My wife and I are forever grateful and thankful for their amazing food and service.
They catered our wedding and they had us do their tasting and were so great in collaborating settings and picking out the menu and things off the menu as well.
Their space is really cozy and warm.
Amazing food! The same great people from Ugly Kitchen.
Here are photos from their kamayan set-up for our wedding at The Bell House in Brooklyn.
It would be a pleasure to discuss this establishment with you. The ambiance was wonderful, perfect for a romantic dinner, a gathering with friends, or a family meal, as was the case for my family. The drinks were exceptionally good, and the prices were reasonable as well. The service was outstanding.
I was delighted to discover authentic Filipino food and reconnect with my heritage.
I ordered the Ube baby, one of my favorite drinks. We also had the ribs. My daughter, who our server kindly called a sophisticated palate, ordered the bone marrow, which was definitely a showstopper. I highly recommend this place; you won't regret it.

A let down in terms of flavor and portion size - especially for the price. Ended up paying 70/person with tip and it definitely didn’t feel proportional to the quality. Otherwise, service was excellent and venue was beautiful overall except don’t get their back table by the serving window it’s busy and had a dishwashing like smell too. We were reseated thankfully.

Don't serve chicken thigh pieces and call them chicken inasal. No wonder this place is always empty.

Came to this Filipino restobar for cocktails and bar chow and was quite impressed! Cocktails like Yuzu Gimlet, Black Samurai, and Siargao Sunset are quite innovative and boozy! Bar chow we tried were sizzling elotes, chicken skewers, and chicken karaage.

I came here for my birthday with friends for the kamayan, and it did not disappoint! The staff was super friendly and our waiter, Enrique I think his name was, was great! The food and drinks were amazing (and filling!!) and I had a wonderful time. A big plus was the extensive menu to choose from for the dinner, which helped with my friends’ dietary restriction of no pork (unlike another nyc resto that offers kamayan). Thank you guys! 🙏🏼

Overall, would recommend, love the ambiance and decor, creative cocktail menu, good food. Good service, except, went as a party of 2 at 5:30, there was only 1 other party of 2 when we arrived, yet we were seated right next to them (awkward), server did eventually let us know we could move over for some space. Food wise, pretty good, ordered truffle fries, shishito peppers (bit bland, needed more salt), bone marrow (a little too salty), hamachin kama, and the adobo ribs. Taste is subjective so wouldn't dissuade anyone from going, they do have a great menu. Service was excellent aside from the seating blunder, water was refilled without being asked, food was served and cleared away quickly, and drinks were good :)

Food wasn’t as good as I hoped (bar the truffle fries which were perfect) but restaurant was cute, drinks were excellent and the staff were so lovely. Would like to give it another try to see if different plates are better prepared. We tried the fries (excellent), the shishito peppers (ok), truffles mushrooms and tofu (not good) and the shrimp tempura (disappointing).

As prior reviewers have said, Gugu Room absolutely nails the vibe (the music is on the louder side). However the food here for us was nothing to write home about.
CUTE spot!!! Small but accommodating. Took my friend there for his birthday. We had a delicious dinner and the margarita is SO GOOD!!!!
