My coworkers suggested we try Hoppers on a recent business trip. None of us had ever had Sri Lankan…read morefood, so we opted for the Group Menu. The server was a great help in guiding us through and helping us to order a good sample of items. The food was brought out a good pace. We had ti.e to eat each course and never felt overwhelmed. The food was delicious. There was no item we did not like. The items we ordered offered a balance of heat and cool.

I stopped by for lunch around 2pm on a Saturday -- the place was still packed, but I was able to…read moresnag a cosy seat at the window since I was dining by myself. In a related and very lovely gesture, the server brought me a complimentary mutton roll (with chilli ketchup) and said they usually send something on the house for solo diners :) The roll was delicious -- savoury mutton without a strong game-y flavour that went really nicely with the mildly spicy ketchup. I decided to have an order of the Lankan chicken kari paired with a hopper. I did not know what a hopper was before then (let alone seen one), so it was an interesting surprise when I was served this unevenly thick, bowl-shaped rice pancake. Fortunately, I did not go wrong with this choice, as the hopper was so delicious. The light rice-based flavour of the hopper paired so nicely with the rich, slightly spicy curry and the tender and savoury chicken, and I really liked the textural variety of the hopper itself (thicker, spongier base and thinner, crispier sides). The ratio of hopper to curry was not quite right, though, so I ended up ordering another roti to enjoy the remaining half of my curry and chicken. The roti was really delicious -- fluffy on the inside and perfectly crispy on the outside -- and similarly paired super well in carrying the curry flavour. All in all, price point was pretty solid for the quality and amount of food. I thought the hopper was pricier than expected, but conversely the curry was less so -- so overall it all seemed quite reasonable. I would love the chance to come visit again and try more of their deliciously fragrant curry options next time.

Located near the famous Baker Street Station, we stopped by this spot while meeting a friend and…read moredecided to grab a quick bite. The place was quite busy, and interestingly, the same person taking orders was also cooking. It's a very small setup--definitely not meant for dining in. The vibe is more like "grab your food and head out." We ordered chicken egg fried rice and chicken chow mein. Watching the food being cooked right in front of us was fascinating--quick, high heat, and full of action. Once we got our order, we sat outside to eat. The first thing I noticed was that the food was quite oily. More disappointing, though, was that I couldn't find any chicken in my fried rice--even though I had paid extra for it. I went back, showed them, and asked if chicken had been added. They bluntly said "yes" and didn't bother to check further, which was frustrating That said, the food itself tasted good overall. It's just that the oiliness and the lack of proper service took away from the experience. I wouldn't say I won't visit again--it feels more like an off day--but I was definitely expecting better service.

I ordered the Chicken Katsu over brown rice with Szechuan sauce. It wasn't too spicy and had a good portion of protein. It took about 10 minutes to wait for food. Be cautious if the line gets long- you may be waiting 30 minutes in total, given there aren't many grills and the kitchen can get backed up.

They were going to try to accommodate us but luckily we were able to sort things out. We were first sat at the bar and given the wine menu. It was odd because I really wanted the drink menu, I wasn't even sure if there was one at that point. I don't drink alcohol and needed the drink menu which I didn't get to see until we sat down. My husband ordered lemongrass cha and kakigori (his favorite). I had the Sakura spritz (non alcoholic). I was delighted that we were seated right against the glass edge. We enjoyed the view very much. We considered getting the signature set menu but there were some dishes that were not on there. In the end, we spent more than what the signature menu would have cost us oops. Pea guac- my first time having pea guac it was a good starter Duck salad - this was good Sakura Salmon- this was delicious, I'm not sure what is Sakura about it though Waygu goyza- Waygu was cooked perfectly but the star of this dish is not the wagyu the taste is over powered by the outer shell and the oils. GFC- this was good and was carried by the creamy sauce Egg fried rice - this is mixed at the table which is a good touch because it looks more presentable before mixing Ibirico pork chops - this was good Hokkido French toast - this was good Mango cheese cake - presentation was nice and favor was amazing There is a 2 hour window and we're notified we had 10 minutes left once dessert came out. We were about to leave and were presented with a plate that congratulated us for our anniversary with some nice chocolates. Better late than never :) overall I had a great experience. It was one of the highlights of the trip.

Definitely one of those places where you walk in and immediately think "okay this is going to be great." Unfortunately, the actual experience didn't really match the setting for us. The drinks were good, but not particularly memorable considering the price point and reputation. The bigger issue was the service. We were seated at a shared high top next to another couple and then waited around 25 minutes before anyone took our order. After that, it was another long wait before the drinks actually arrived. By the time we finally got them, the whole vibe had kind of faded for us and we ended up leaving after one round. I still think it's worth stopping by for the views alone, but overall the experience felt more style over substance than I hoped for.

She was really friendly and went out of her way to try and help us download the app and familiarize us with the menu. Otherwise, this would definitely get a one star rating Overhyped, and extremely overpriced unauthentic "pho". They use fish, chicken or mushroom. Sure, it might taste like PHO, but it is definitely not authentic as they say it is. The food is lacking in taste and quality. It taste so cheap. It might cost five dollars from a street vendor. Instead of cost over $30. SAKUSAKU duck noodle dish cost it over 21 pounds which is about 25 or $27 USD and I barely had any sauce and it was extremely small portion. I think it's meant for a eight-year-old kid. I think I could eat like three of these even if I wasn't that hungry. Lastly, the service is terrible. We got seated and never got our waters. Refill never got attention, this place sucks do not eat here. I would rather go to the McDonald's across the street.

Much like everything else, the cost has risen since my last visit 5 years ago but it is still in line with other similar afternoon tea options. They now serve their basic afternoon tea with a non-alcoholic glass of sparkling hojicha tea which was quite good. You can upgrade to your choice of champagne for an additional fee. Taken as a whole, the quality of the food, scones, pastries, and tea still tops the list of best in the city in my book. And the service is exemplary. On my last visit 5 years ago I fell in love with the art on the menu and considered asking if I could take my copy home. In the end, I didn't ask and have regretted it ever since. On this visit I told that story to my server and asked if I might keep the menu as a memento. He not only told me it was fine, he brought me over one each of their other menus (breakfast, all day, etc) to have as well. Each one features a different illustration by the same artist.
