Kakimayo (baked oysters with cheese), Unagi Doria

Staple orders (not pictured): Salmon Tataki, Gyu Carpaccio, Takoyaki. A bit disappointed with the first two as it didn't have garlic chips, which is my favorite part of the dish (Sakabar better). The best dish of the night was the takoyaki - crispy and hot outside topped with sweet tonkatsu sauce, mayo and seaweed, good sized piece of real octopus inside. I liked the small mushrooms in the oyster but found it a bit sour and it was very creamy/filling. The eel rice was very sweet, soft and cheesy but I prefer the mushroom bibimbap as that one is served hotter in a stone bowl.

Sake Mojito

For drinks, I had the Matcha Coco and Sake Mojito. The Matcha tastes like green tea frappucino but with alcohol and a bit heavier tasting. The Mojito was refreshing and light, not much alcohol taste.
Second visit to this Guu location. We arrived before 5pm so no line up, but for a Monday, it was still quite full by 6-7 pm. Total bill came to $37/person.
