Hello Arigato offers a Japanese-inspired cafe experience in Bishan, drawing consistent interest for its casual atmosphere and menu.
We see the Gyu Sando frequently highlighted as a standout, particularly when enjoyed fresh on-site, and the Wagyu Donburi also receives praise.
For drinks, the Matcha Strawberry Cold Cream and Strawberry Matcha Cloud are popular choices, noted for their balanced flavors.
However, some find the regular matcha less impressive and the latte can be bitter, though its creaminess is a redeeming factor.
While the indoor ambiance is generally conducive to conversation, outdoor seating can be affected by traffic noise and cigarette smoke.
There's also a recurring mention of a 75-minute dining limit, which is worth noting for those planning longer visits.
We also observe a desire for more dessert options.
Overall, Hello Arigato appears to be a good spot for a casual meal or catch-up with friends, especially if you're in the mood for their signature sandos or unique matcha drinks.
Best for a late lunch to potentially avoid the busiest crowds.

What customers say
Hello Arigato at Upper Thomson Road is praised for its Japanese-inspired dishes like the Gyu Sando and Wagyu Donburi, with many enjoying the overall "vibey" atmosphere for casual meetups.
While popular items include the pork belly rice and truffle fries, some find the Brussels sprouts too sweet and the outdoor seating affected by noise and smells.
Service is generally good, but the lack of an electronic queue system for popular times is a notable inconvenience.
