Hi Hello

“Menu changes frequently but I ate the Icelandic Hot Dog (good) and the Bahn Mi sandwich which was amazing!”

“Especially the roast beef sandwich, it's art (roast beef, freshly sliced cucumber, house made kimchee, goat cheese).”

“The duck sausage was unique and wasn't as fatty as pork, however the toppings and potato roll were disappointing.”

  1. Happy with the service that we received.  Not happy with the cost of a basic cheese burger deluxe. The burger was good just not work over $10. The fries were bomb, I would go back for the fries.

    I'm not sure what it was but I felt more could have been added to my burger. How do you not have tomatoes? They offer either fries or a salad with your burger.

    Everything about this place was screaming yuppy. But as I said the people who served us are very sweet. It was pretty quite with the music at a normal level.

    I would recommend this place to a friend.

  2. My first thought when I walked in here was that this place was overstylized. From the long pinkish bulbs lighting the place to mismatched wallpaper, the terrariums dotting every couple of feet of the restaurant, to the oversized mirrors on one wall, it kind of looked like an Urban Outfitters ad. It was still appealing, but trying too hard.

    I was here last night (Saturday) for a late night dinner with my boyfriend. There were a few people there but still plenty of seats open. I ordered a hot toddy with rum and the jerk chicken sandwich. My boyfriend ordered a beer and the big warm salad. Our waiter was friendly enough and took our orders quickly. Two minutes later, he came by and asked if he could take our orders! We thought he was totally high or something! We reminded him he had already taken them and repeated what we wanted. He seemed dazed and even though the place was loud, he didn't make any effort to come closer to our seated level. We had to speak pretty loudly and repeat ourselves for him to hear.

    My hot toddy was good and the sandwich was really tasty! The cheddar cheese was interesting on jerk chicken, but it was a good combination and balanced out the zest of the chicken. It was a healthy size and nestled on top of a large serving of hot, crispy, and salty fries. I didn't try my boyfriend's salad but he said it was okay. The only issue was that he didn't feel completely full when he was done.

    When we got up to leave, our waiter stared at us with eagle eyes! As soon as I picked up my purse, he ran over and cleared the table. He was wearing his jacket and looked ready to leave the restaurant for the night. We felt a bit rushed because of this.

    With the exception of our odd waiter, I thought the food was good! The prices aren't bad at all either. $14 for the salad was overpriced, but the drinks and the sandwich were totally fine.

  3. I was looking for a chill, but not boring spot to grab a late night bite and this place delivered!

    It's just a small bar with a few wooden tables and metal chairs. The place is cozy and has a warmth from the candles. They had some fun new wave, surf and punk songs to bring energy.

    Staff was friendly and at tentative. Swiftly got our food and drink.

    We split a few small plates rather than the big sandwiches. The Icelandic hotdog was good. The duck sausage was unique and wasn't as fatty as pork, however the toppings and potato roll were disappointing.

    The espagnola is kind of like a root vegetable frittata. Sliced potatoes and beets are stacked up and held together with masa corn flour, hence the "tortilla" in the name. This dish was comforting with weighing you down. Like a fancy potato salad. The sweetness of the beets went nicely with the nutmeg in the seasoning and the tangy marsala mayo. It was served a little cold.

    Mizuna salad was minimal but tasty and refreshing. Greens, peas and shallots with a basic olive oil dressing.

    I was happy to find a place that served late night fare other than nachos and heavy fried foods.

  4. This place might be better than I'm giving it credit for – I have heard their sandwiches are awesome. I'm going strictly off the burger. It was a decent burger, but not AMAZING, like I had heard. It has a really distinct flavor, not sure if it's dry aged or just super grass fed or what, and some people might dig that. To me it resembles "funk". The fries were delicious though, and I'm not usually a big fry person. The bartender recommended a beer for me which was delicious, but I was a bit surprised when I got the check and saw it was nine dollars. But that's my fault for not looking at the price. Music was good, they were playing oldies, which was exactly what I wanted to be hearing at the time. I'll go again and try something different, maybe that will bump it up a star or two…

  5. I almost never walk into a place without looking at its Yelp rating. Is that messed up?

    Hi Hello's exterior was so appealing I didn't even bother pulling my phone out.

    The place is styled like the cutest modern-day diner you ever saw, with a clip-in-letter menu board up front that also displays the day's weather — "7 6 .  N I C E ." — and a pristine bathroom that smells of lemon and verbena.

    I ordered the Icelandic Hotdog, which had French onions on top, otherwise known as "my sneaky addiction".

    It's just a smidge pricey. A $7 dog with no side, while delicious, is a little over budget. On the other hand, the service is great and the people are friendly, so it's worth it.
