This location is of all the Guu restaurants is always our favourite, especially if it’s just the two of us. Tonight’s dinner was delicious and our server was very friendly and talkative. We had reservations, but we sat at the bar anyhow. It’s interesting to watch the chefs in action. Nobody makes chicken karage as well as Guu! Tonight’s menu had a delicious beef tendon curry that was amazing!

Portions have gotten smaller for some of the dishes - we ordered 2 desserts, waited 20 minutes never arrived so cancelled them. This trip was not up to their usual high standards
