Are you planning a trip to Vancouver and love Japanese food?! Be sure to add Guu onto your list!

Guu is an izakaya in Vancouver, which is like a Japanese pub serving small share plates. They are the pioneers of this style of food in the city and it is a place love to visit and recommend to friends visiting the city.

I met up with some friends who were visiting in town as well as a new local friend. We decided to order a bunch of things and share (the best way to eat here!).

Here are a few photos from dinner:

Chicken Karaage, deep fried chicken with Japanese mayo

Okonomiyaki, a savory pancake with squid and cabbage filling

Seared tuna sashimi on daikon

Spicy Rice with ground pork cooked in a hot stone bowl

Pan fried udon noodles with beef

Guu Izakaya has several locations around Vancouver and Toronto! Definitely, add them to your Vancouver trip plans if you’re a fan of Japanese food. I always eat there every time I go home. Let me know what you think of them in the comments if you do go!
