   My wife and I bounce back and forth between Original Guu and Guu Toramasa whenever we are wanting some Izakya food and experience. We really don't have a favourite, it depends on table availability and our agenda. The best thing about Guu Toramasa is that they are able to handle bigger groups at one table. The menu is a bit different between the two restaurants, but there are some similar items.

   Polite and authentic Japanese servers and dishes. Fresh sashimi and delicious saba. Quick and attention to detail. My family loved it and it was our lunch for CNY.

   First time visiting, had great time with my friends. Stayed for happy hour and dinner. Happy hours is a great deal. Foods, services, prices are good. Loved original white sangria that made from sake. You must try.

   The food here was delicious! Their sushi is so good and fresh. The service was kind and let us know what their favourites were from the menu as well. The sushi chef even personally delivered our sushi platter to us! The vibe is very reminiscent of eateries I’ve been to in Japan. I would definitely recommend this place to others.

   The food was authentic and the sashimi delicious. The entire restaurant boasted a Japanese ambiance. The staff were courteous and warm, leaving my family and me highly satisfied.

   "WOW" What a beautiful experience - inviting and exhilarating, starting with the friendly greeting, and ending with a friendly farewell, this restaurant does not disappoint. Having never experienced this style of Japanese cuisine, in my own words it's like "Japanese Soul Food". The bistro style atmosphere elevates the experience of the incredibly delicious and perfectly executed cuisine. This is by no means anything but amazing food. You just have to dive in and try things. Not one single plate disappointed and the delicious cocktails were a bonus. One time in particular, the Curry Poutine stood out because it is a beautiful example of natural fusion of Japanese and Canadian cuisine. I hesitate to use the word "fusion" but i'm not sure what else I'd call it other than a natural outcome of talented people making wonderful food representative of their own culture perfectly integrated with another one. Service was on point, every single member buzzing about like a colony of bees - you can kindly ask any one of them for anything! It's like walking into a family gathering. Bravo Guu Toramasa! Bravo Arigato Gozaimasu !

   Food is fresh and delicious. Waitresses are nice but it would be better if they could pay special attention to the customers. We asked few times request to refill green tea. Menu seems not very readable for seniors. I know this is a great place for youngers but should expect senior customers.

    I heard there was a new Guu so we tried it for the first time. I was very disappointed with their food. I had the deep fried seafood teishoku but the “Koromo”was way too hard and didn’t taste good at all. Felt like just eating the batter. And the oysters were so small. On top of that, the white rice that came with the meal tasted like it was sitting in the rice cooker for a long time. Our server was nice but that was the only good thing. I don’t think I will come back here as my to go Guu Davie has much better quality lunch meals.
