Guu with Garlic, also called Guu Robson is all about “Garlic is Sexy”. Sexy is not just about the outside, but it’s the fundamental attitude reflecting energy. Garlic is good, makes you healthy and beautiful! Enjoy the classic Izakaya dishes with a garlic punch. We keep seats for walk-in customers as well. No available seats on OpenTable does not mean we are fully booked. Please be aware that the time limited per table is two hours during peak hours.

    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

    This was my favorite restaurant when I was student back 20 years ago, I came back with my boys and my husband this time after 15 years. The food was still good and my favorite is still the same , Yaki udon . I am happy that all of guu are still open. Thank you 😊

    A varied selection of food, much more than your typical sushi restaurant- a real Japanese pub environment

    Food was good. Service was poor. Our server was rushed, missed an appetizer, brought appetizers after the main course, never checked in, and was simply never there when needed. On the whole, it ruined the experience.
