顾u Torontois no more. But, don't fret. Your favourite Izakaya spot isn't going anywhere, it's just getting a name change becauseKitanoya Marketing Corp. (which owns the name Guu) andKinka Family Inc.are parting ways.

The three existing Guu Toronto restaurants are nowKinka Izakaya. This came into effect on November 1. Kinka, if you're wondering, means golden flower. And, Kinka Family Inc. also runsKinton Ramen,JaBistroandKintori Yakitori.

The six Vancouver Guu locations will remain unchanged. To make matters confusing, however, Kitanoya will open a new Guu Toronto sometime in 2016.

Restaurant-relatedbreakups and feudsare common in Toronto. We reached out toKinkafor comment and have yet to hear back. Kitanoya refused to elaborate beyond what it posted on its website. We will update this post if and when we learn more.
