My thoughts:

I apologize in advance for my repeat visits to this place. I hope this isn't becoming a bore for you, but I really wanted to tell you about some new things I tried here and show you some new pictures! 

I'll skip over the things I've already blogged about, namely the okonomiyakis and kinoko bibimbap. Here's what I haven't told you about:

Salmon Tataki ($6.80): seared B.C. salmon sashimi with ponzu, wasabi mayo and garlic chips. Nothing special. I've had better seared salmon sashimi (coming up in my Wow Sushi post.)

Kakimayo ($7.20): baked B.C. oyster with mushrooms, spinach and garlic mayo topped with cheese. Holy calooza! Our favourite of the night and, hands down, officially one of my favourite Guu dishes! The description on the website really doesn't do this dish any justice. This truly is Guu in all its glory. A definite must try!!!

Saba ($8.30): grilled saba mackerel with dill herb, garlic lemon and onion on a sizzling plate. Our least favourite of the night. It just tasted, quite, well, fishy. The lemon didn't help one bit.
