Both came with a pot rice, a beef bone soup and sides. They are definitely a good deal. I really enjoyed the marinated crabs and shrimps. Both are very flavorful and fresh. Went very well with the rice. I personally found the batter of the fried anago a little too thick which overwhelmed the eel itself. But flavor is good I like most of the sides being kimchi is ny favorite. Well balance of spiciness and tanginess. It is unfortunate that they were out of the pan seared mackerel. I would love to go try it when they are available

The boneless fried chicken was good too. It was crispy yet still juicy. I would probably recommend getting one of the flavoured fried chicken instead of the original as it was a little plain.

I recommend getting the quad soup base - you don't need to get 4 broths. You can get 2 soups and it'll be cheaper than if you get the 2 soup container. The sauce bar is great! Not only do they have sauce, they have fruit (oranges, tomatoes) chips/ snacks and dessert (red bean sago, ice jelly) This place no doubt has great customer service. The waiters come by often, refilling water and hot pot base, taking away used plates, gathering impurities from the broth over time. In the drawer below your table, there's hair ties, toothpicks, extra chopsticks and napkins if needed. I would def come by again.

The restaurant is pretty big and they have some big tables but all the tables had only one pot hot pot which makes it hard for people to eat. I wish they had multiple pots for bigger tables so that it was inconvenient. Other than that, their service was pretty good and they also had a really good AYCE deal for $39/pp! We got their two flavour soup base - spicy beef and tomato soup base. Their meats and veggies were all fresh! They had a massive self-serve bar with sauces, tofu, fried chicken (which was delicious), noodles, bean curd, and other items. It was a good selection! You also get dessert in the AYCE menu with two options - vanilla ice cream and coffee pudding. I got their coffee pudding which was not bad, but it tasted AMAZING when mixed with the vanilla ice cream so I would definitely recommend that.

This was hands down the worst dining experience I've ever had. Not only is the food overpriced, but…read morethe service is aggressively hostile. ​The highlight of the night was a staff member slamming meat onto our table and condescendingly saying, "Wanna bet you ordered this?" I calmly told her with a smile that we didn't, as we are all allergic to chicken. Instead of an apology, she stomped away and slammed the receipt in my face. After reviewing it and realizing she was wrong, she simply blamed her coworker and didn't offer a single word of apology for her behavior. ​Beyond the attitude, the food quality is a bait-and-switch. The first batch of meat was okay, but every round after that was inedible, greasy fat. They take forever to serve you because they are too busy fighting with customers. Save your money and your sanity--stay away from this place.

The menu offers a great variety of small plates, and most of the dishes we ordered were flavorful, fresh, and well-presented. The service was friendly and attentive throughout the evening, and the staff made some excellent recommendations. I especially enjoyed the creative presentation and the lively energy of the restaurant. I'm giving four stars because a few dishes were a bit smaller than expected for the price, and the restaurant can get quite busy during peak hours. However, the overall dining experience was excellent, and I would definitely recommend Kingyo to anyone looking for a fun Japanese dining experience in Vancouver.

But in other parts of the world the meal is what's important and so is a quick turn around. Guu with Garlic reminded me a lot of the Izakaya restaurants I found under the train lines of Tokyo in many ways, including the amount of time it felt right to stay. The food came out quick, the servers took orders quicker, and the alcohol came out chilled and as nice contrast to the hot food. Looking around and you see the hand written menu on blackboard surfaces on the walls and this feeling of authenticity. The heat of the flames from the kitchen can be felt and seen if you sit at the bar. And the flavors just hit all the right notes. Starting with appetizers, a section izakayas shine at, the first dish we got was their scallop and mayo pizza. With a crispy crunch on the bottom and crust, this reminds you of the flavors of a baked volcano roll or scallop roll you can find in almost any North American sushi restaurant. Just like that dish, it's important to eat it while it's still hot so it doesn't get gross and 느끼 에. Then came the yellowtail tuna "tempura" pieces. Thick pieces of yellowtail tuna flash fried for just the right crisp on the outside with slight pink of the fish inside. It is meaty without being oily or fatty. Great bite. The beef tongue after was interesting. From the color of the sauce it accompanies it you would think it would be heavy in flavor but it is actually light and citrusy. A good cut into the richer tones of the beef tongue. The yaki udon was one of the best I ever had. It was smokey without being overpowering. The beef was thin and tender and balanced well with the mushrooms it also came with. The udon noodles stayed bouncy and chewy which I didn't expect from being grilled. Very tasty and highly recommend this dish. For our final bite we shared a hot stone bowl of their pork and cabbage rice. With the hot stone bowl constantly cooking even after this dish arrived it was imperative to stir the ingredients together constantly for the first two minutes. It allowed for the runny egg to meld with the rice and the crispy texture of some ingredients was a nice bonus. All in all, I loved eating here and if my appetite was bigger I would've tried more on their menu. A solid place to eat with a great atmosphere, if you're looking for delicious food that won't take too much of your time but still lingers in your memories you have to check out Guu with Garlic.

Parking is available in a small lot behind the restaurant. There are also spots in the side streets, but watch the signage. The place is pretty dated.

Because I went with a friend at 12am, I didn't get hotpot but instead got a wonton noodle soup and minced pork salty egg with watercrest congee. I thought the wonton soup was ok.

The congee was good too with regular egg and century egg. There was strong watercrest flavour too. We got the half size and it was still a large portion. Definitely would have to come back to try their hot pot next time.
