What a clever name, dangit Guu - why are you so **&(#*&$(** GUUD! It is places like this I wish I could speak the language so I can join in and talk like a superpro!
This Guu, compared to the other locations is very modernized, with a fully assembled…More »

Thanks to Yelp - I have been introduced to Ajisai ... and I was not disappointed... I prepared myself for the wait on a Friday night around 7pm... and was very surprised to see the nice decor inside this small little restaurant in the pretty…More »
Oh my... fellow yelpers, forgive me that I have forgotten to tell you how good this place is! I know it's not exactly the easiest location to get to but believe it it is worth it. As I officially sat on the back seat of my boyfriend's motorcycle for…More »

You will get the ultimate experience at Guu if you eat with a big group of people because you're most likely going to try at least 3/4 of the menu. WIth that said... it could also be a longer wait because the lineups are always huge at the Guus on…More »

I haven't been here in quite some time, but the times I do remember, it was consistently large portions, decent food, at great prices.
... so I decided to take my friend here for dinner since she always walks by here on her way to work, but has never…More »

So it's been a while since I had sushi... and tonight was the night as I bought take out and sat in the dark with one lit candle for Earth hour with my bf.
My roomie recommended this place - he said the prices were good and so was quality. After a…More »
I see all the cheap meals that look pretty appetizing on the boards.. but I was just there to get packaged sushi - unfortunately.. it wasn't for me.
Out of the 8 items on the board - 6 of them were sold out at approximately 1pm.
This place reminds me…More »
This is pretty much a hole-in-the-wall sushi joint.... I am leaning more towards 2.5*.. but inching towards 3 because the sushi is actually good.
There are bars on the front windows of the store... making it feel a little jail-like or trapped inside..…More »
hahah.... so I didn't really think I'd have this many bad experiences in the last week.. but surely enough, I managed to write my 3rd 1-star review in a row.
I've eaten here before and I know about the LARGE portions.... but at least the first time…More »

If you see this place in the food court, kindly smile and turn elsewhere for sushi.. or ANYTHING else. I had a craving and their premade sushi seemed interesting. However, I didn't know how long they had been sitting there so I requested mine to be…More »
