Editor’s Note

Last updated 21 Jul 2026

Our take: Hello Arigato in Bishan generally receives high marks for its warm service and inviting atmosphere, making it a comfortable spot for lingering.

The Wagyu Donburi and Strawberry Matcha Cloud are frequently highlighted as standout items, with the former praised for its taste and the latter for its unique blend.

Coffee is often described as excellent, though some note the latte can be a bit bitter.

The Tamago Sando, while tasty, can be messy to eat due to its thickness.

However, we note some inconsistencies.

While many find the food excellent, there are criticisms regarding the truffle fries lacking truffle flavour and the laksa pasta being comparable to hawker fare, suggesting some dishes might not justify their price point.

Outdoor seating can be affected by traffic noise and cigarette smoke, and indoor seating near the kitchen can be noisy.

Dessert options are also limited.

We think it's best for a relaxed catch-up, focusing on their signature items.

Best for groups of 2-4 for a comfortable experience.
