I can't say enough about izakayas! They are a combination of tasty eye-tantalizing Japanese food, a good time, friends, and a lot of laughs. When I found out my co-worker was organizing a staff dinner at Guu Kitanoya, I could not hold back my giddiness. I actually was here a few months ago for my birthday, and was really surprised how much I loved, loved, loved some of the dishes because I wasn't wowed by the dishes at a previous Guu (Thurlow) visit I made a few years ago. Eating some of my birthday favorites and trying some new ones too were definitely on my mind for the night.
