About this place
At Guu, the meal takes on a different character depending on whether ramen or Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki takes centre stage. One visitor recalls pairing a clean-tasting shoyu ramen with the okonomiyaki’s more robust flavour, and enjoying the contrast between the two.
Ramen comes in shoyu, miso or salt flavours, with a choice of thick, hearty noodles (200 g) or medium-thin regular noodles (130 g). The thicker noodles suit a more substantial meal, while the regular option makes for a lighter one. At lunchtime, rice and kimchi are served with the ramen, making it a satisfying choice.
The Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki includes noodles and comes with a variety of fillings. Options include the Mix, with pork and prawns, and Guu’s house special, made with pork, fried beef fat and shredded kelp. Some diners have remarked on the generous size; sharing one between two people could be a good way to enjoy it.
Guu works for a lunch centred on ramen or an evening meal of Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki and small dishes. Beer is also on the menu, and one visitor thought it would pair well with the okonomiyaki.
