Hello Arigato (Upper Thomson)

($25)
their pork collar was not that hard and well marinated that i thought and remind me of fried tonkatsu set that I usually ordered from the local jp resturant.

great place for a cute little dinner & drinks w the girlies 💗 moscato was $12 for 2, highballs were $10 for 2 during happy hour!!! not too shabby either~

mentaiko pasta was actl pretty good - v generous amount of mentaiko sauce & tobiko! definitely for sharing though w the creaminess of the sauce 🍝

felt that the gyu sando ($28++) was a rly huge miss for me ☹️ def not worth it's price point at all... the beef flavour felt so flat & the bread was js white toast (kinda lameeee). it was rly a what u see is what u get

truffle fries were not bad! q normal but u will like it if u like thick cut fries, but rly nothing to shout about hahahaha

ok but fr will recommend to try if you're around the area! but will i go down just for this? maybe not 😆😆

Their insta-worthy tamago sando was something we definitely had to order. We all know Japan is famous for its convenience store tamago sandos and this was like a zhngged up and elevated version of it. Japanese 𝑬𝒈𝒈 𝑴𝒂𝒚𝒐, 𝑻𝒂𝒎𝒂𝒈𝒐𝒚𝒂𝒌𝒊, 𝑨𝒋𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒎𝒂 𝑬𝒈𝒈, was a triple eggsplosion! 🥚💥 Every bite was a mouthful of creamy egg and soft fluffy sando. Die hard egg lovers would definitely appreciate this.

This was a refreshing cold noodle dish featuring thin and smooth japanese somen immersed in a chilled tom yum broth. Similarly, this featured thinly sliced hokkaido sashimi scallops, and also blue swimmer crab too! The fresh seafood was topped off with ikura, adding a seafood sweetness that went well with the sourness of the broth. This didn’t really taste spicy to us, so not to worry if you don’t take spice well!

A short form for their Crispy Brussel Sprouts, this was a delicious plate of crunchy veg drizzled with a delightful garlic soy glaze, shallots and sour cream, with so much texture and flavour that would make any veggie hater reach for a second bite.

Hello Arigato makes for a pleasant cafe hideout, and we reminisce their sandos and pastas often. Although their prices may be quite substantial, we do think they are worth a visit for the food and vibes.

The Whole Grilled Portobello Mushroom was generously adorned with 𝑯𝒐𝒎𝒆-𝒎𝒂𝒅𝒆 𝑻𝒓𝒖𝒇𝒇𝒍𝒆 𝑴𝒖𝒔𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒐𝒎 𝑱𝒂𝒎 and American Cheddar hugged between their shokupan. We were on the fence on getting this but we have no regrets after tasting how good it was! The portobello was so incredibly soft, bouncy and juicy, and the truffle aroma was bold and strong. The natural umami of mushroom was really extracted in this sando 🥰👍🏻
