10 photosGuu Original Thurlow, located at 838 Thurlow Street in Vancouver, offers an energetic Japanese izakaya dining experience built around flavorful small plates and shared dishes. The menu celebrates Japanese comfort food, featuring grilled skewers, crispy fried specialties, seafood, and savory creations that pair beautifully with sake, Japanese beer, and cocktails.
Signature favorites include karaage chicken, takoyaki, and grilled beef tongue, showcasing contrasting textures and rich umami flavors. The small-plate format offers flexibility and good value for diners who enjoy sampling several dishes, although the total cost depends on the number ordered. Vegetarian choices may be available, while gluten-free diners should confirm sauces and seasonings with staff. Guu is particularly appealing for casual dinners, after-work gatherings, and lively group meals rather than traditional breakfast dining.
