About

Gugu Room is a Filipino-Japanese izakaya located on Orchard Street in the Lower East Side. It's known for its kamayan dinner, where food is served on banana leaves, and a fusion of Filipino and Japanese flavors. The spot is cozy, making it a great choice for a casual night out with friends. Unfortunately, it appears to be permanently closed now.
