30 - The Oakville Beaver, Wednesday September 17, 2008 www.oakvillebeaver.com Guirei Japanese Restaurant comes to Oakville! Japanese anyone? When it comes time to dine, that's a question that's often answered with a resounding `yes'. Such popularity for food that is as pretty on the plate, as it is delicious, has contributed to the decades long success of Guirei Japanese Restaurant, in Toronto's Queens Quay west. The artful presentation is in keeping with the name, Guirei, which means `beautiful'. (See for yourself by logging on to www.guirei.com.) Now it is Oakville's turn to enjoy the same gorgeous, appetizing fare. Three months ago owner Sue Kim opened a second Guirei restaurant at 579 Kerr St. (Unit 13), which was formerly Nikko Japanese Restaurant. It's fast becoming a lunch hotspot for the ardent fans of Japanese food as well as the curious epicurean. Guirei is a destination for the dinnertime crowd too. The menu offers a fusion of foods, something for everyone, said Kim. To highlight a few favourites there's: Dolsot Bibim Bop, which is marinated beef, vegetables and egg over rice served in a hot stone bowl, for the seafood set Hae Dup Bap is assorted raw fish and vegetables served with steamed rice and hot sauce, and vegetarians get fare dues too at Guirei with tofu and vegetable teriyaki, among other entrees. Kim's personal favourite are the mango maki rolls, so named for the first ingredient wrapped inside the soy paper -- mango. It is also chock full of avacado, crabmeat and lettuce. There's a huge variety of Sake, which is Japanese rice wine. There's almost a brand of Sake for every letter of the alphabet, said Kim. The ambiance and décor of Guirei is as cozy as it is elegant. With booths for a more private dining experience, or roomier tables for a group, Kim and company aim to please. And if the party happens to be at home, work or anywhere else, Guirei accommodates with sizeable trays to feed a small intimate group, or an army of hungry visitors. Reservations are not necessary for lunch or dinner, but those who like to plan call Guirei at 905 339-3139 or the Toronto restaurant at 416-977-6111.
