The wait is over. One of the highly anticipated restaurants to open in Vancouver - Afuri ramen + dumpling - has officially opened its doors. Last year we went to Portland and checked out the ramen + izakaya and I was quite excited about the arrival of ramen + dumpling here in Vancouver. I was invited to its media night and previewed some of its menu items.
With different Japanese izakayas popping up around town, it's been forever since I last visited a Guu location. I remember the Thurlow location was my very first izakaya that I've visited in Vancouver and it was such a unique experience: the screaming servers, the exchange of Japanese throughout the room and the long list of small plates that we could order. It was so much fun I took a visiting guest to Guu Garlic after. Now, years later, I'm back.
Hi Genki doesn’t serve sushi. It’s an authentic (relatively speaking) Japanese restaurant, primarily serving rice and noodle dishes.
Between the two of us, we had the Spicy Karaage Donburi, the Genki Bento Box, and the Salmon Sashimi.
