Guu Davie

A design concept

The concept of the interior design is “An Izakaya that you can enjoy at night of the full moon”. The interior design captures a large roof window and a large patio facing the south. During the summertime, the patio is filled with warm sunlight and the soothing breeze where you can enjoy the ice-cold drinks with some appetizers. In fall, you can enjoy drinking Sake while savoring moonlight through a skylight above the open-plan kitchen area.

The restaurant has a Tatami room designed in traditional Japanese style that is the perfect place to dine with family members. The ceiling of the dining area is filled with traditional Japanese images such as Manekineko, Japanese Kite and Daruma.

Food Menu

What sets aside this restaurant from any other Izakaya around Vancouver is its “Oden” and “Shabu-shabu” menu. Guu Davie offers imaginative Oden menu and mouth-watering Shabu-shabu menu that cannot be found in any other restaurants. Guu Davie is the first izakaya restaurant in Vancouver to specialize in the Hot-pot dishes.

The wide dining areas, tatami room, and patio are capable to provide a wonderful experience to customers, regardless of the size of the groups. It provides excellent spaces for business meetings and parties as well.

Shabu-shabu

You can choose 2 out of 6 available soup broth to enjoy the Shabu-shabu: Konbu (Seaweed), Tomato, Curry, Tonkotsu, Cream, and Spicy Miso.
Shabu-shabu dishes include the premium Wagyu and the premium Black Cod wrapped with fresh vegetables. This excellent Shabu-shabu menu can be enjoyed by people of all ages.

Oden

When it comes to Japanese food, probably everyone will think about Sushi or Ramen. But Oden should not be neglected when we talk about Japanese food. Oden is a traditional Japanese food that consists of several ingredients such as daikon radish, boiled egg, processed fish cake, and tofu fritters stewed in a soy-flavoured dashi broth. This Guu Davie provides many of unique Oden dishes.

The creative and innovative Oden dishes are only available at Guu Davie where customers can enjoy the sophisticated taste of Oden. The Ganmo (Ganmodoki: house-made deep-fried tofu, mixed with vegetables) and Satsumaage (house-made deep-fried fish cake, mixed with shrimp, fish, minced pork and vegetables) are the two must-try Oden dishes here. Flavours of these Oden dishes can be enhanced with an ice-cold beer in summer, and with hot-sake in winter.

Daikon & Kakuni

An awesome match of mild daikon radish and tender simmered pork belly. The savory pork belly matches well with the daikon radish that soaks up the dashi broth.

Tomato

Oden is not all about hot dishes!! This Oden serves a cold tomato with Yuzu and Kanzuri gelee.

Onion

Love mushrooms, onion and fish? If so, this is the dish for you. The whole onion is covered with simmered Shiitake mushroom and dried Japanese Anchovy.

Avocado

The unique collaborations of Ikura, Avocado & Crab meat. The avocado is stuffed with crab meat and topped with ikura and mayonnaise.

Happy Hour

Happy hour is held every week from Friday to Sunday from 3 pm to 6 pm. Draft beer, wine, and sangria can be enjoyed at even more affordable prices.

The food menu can be chosen from the most popular dishes at the restaurant: house original Karaage, Mayonnaise Shrimp, Takoyaki, and Oden. Note that the regular menu and the daily special menu are available after 5 pm. You may also want to consider drinking during the happy hour and have dinner there afterwards to spend money more wisely.
