Guu Original Thurlow
Guu Original Thurlow is the founding location of the Guu Izakaya chain and is historically credited as the very first izakaya restaurant in Vancouver, originally opened in 1993 as 'Raku' before rebranding in 2000. Situated on Thurlow Street in the West End, it offers a full Japanese izakaya menu including classic dishes like Yaki Udon and Oden in a lively, high-energy indoor atmosphere. Touring cyclists looking for a substantial sit-down meal near the downtown core will find a long-established destination with both lunch and dinner service.
