OMG!!!!! Where do i even start. Decided to visit this place with my bestie on a Thursday. After juggling our lives with the overpriced rickshaw wala, finally managed to reach here. The set up is so amazing, as soon as you enter the place, you will see every possible color starting from the decor to the plates and even spoons. The place is so lively and vibrant. Post office colleagues chilling out, some fancy people enjoying their authentic Japanese food and somewhere novices like me trying to figure out how to even pronounce the dish name (hehe). I loved this place to the core. Highly recommended for Japanese food.
Few details
Food type-Veg and Non veg
Alcohol-Yes
Service – Quick
Staff – friendly
Cost – a bit heavy on the pocket
Must try – Porkbelly, Prawn tempura roll, Chicken katsu kare rice, Chicken karaage, Mount Fuji, Matcha Fondant, Smooth criminal

Mushroom suimono – shiitake mushroom and truffle scented clear soup
Chirashi Seafood Salad – Prawns, tuna, salmon, crab stick and mixed greens tossed in vegetable and sesame goma ae dressing

Chashu Ramen Miso – Home-made egg noodles served in a miso-flavoured pork borth; simmered over a fire for 72 hours and topped with spinach, corn, bean sprouts, wakame seaweed and boiled egg. How fancy right.
Mango & Raspberry Parfait – Layers of chocolate soil, crème patissiere and cornflakes; served with homemade ice cream.
Matcha Fondant – Matcha soufflé with a gooey matcha centre. I have never had such an amazing dessert.

Sawanotsuru Deluxe – It was my first time ever tasting SAKE. Can’t judge it much.
Smooth Criminal – Strawberry, litchi and kiwi (A must must try)
Passion on the grass – cranberry, passion fruit, kaffir lime and lemongrass sours. It was decent enough
A place to laugh, chill and gala time with your friends and family! Went on a couples lunch outing with my besties...best food, excellent service and calm atmosphere....
The place is a must try for Japanese food lovers... You must try the seafood salad and the tempura rolls... Yummm!
Happy Guppy at Hello Guppy :)
What a colourful FUN restaurant to dine at. Glad we had plenty of vegetarian options too... Best meal of 2018; cant wait to dine again with kids along too !
I love this place! An absolute must try for sushi lovers in the city.....the service ambience everything is just perfect!
Awesome Sushi and sevice is amazing too....ambience lively...♡
This is a good place to fulfil your Asian food hunger. Had amazing ramen noodles along with a cocktail. The portion was sufficient for 2 people. The restaurant is at a very good location and usually crowded. We also tried dumplings which we found good and ended up having twice.
Overall rating 4/5.
Checkout my foodstagram🌭🌮🌯🍔🍕🍛🍝🍲📸@onehangryboi and @tallhungryboy
1. The Pork Belly - Slightly Charred. Adds a lot of flavour. There was sweetness to the belly because of the glaze. Skewers were brilliant and not cheap feeling. Pickled raddish amd carrot accompaniment was a great addition. All in all, dish was splendid.
2. Scottish Salmon- Loved it. Great Sashimi. I would have the Aburi version(try it, you will not regret)
3. Cashew Chicken- Sweet sauce. Cashew. Bell pepper. Sesame seeds. Cooked very well and has a chew to it(due to being fried chicken and then glazed)
4. Chocolate fondant- Smooth. Not too sweet. Perfect. Goes very well with Ice cream.
I will definitely be back here. Thank you for hosting
If ramen is what your craving for then they have you sorted, if it comes to asian food its got to be prawns, salmon and pork and thats what we too recommend to try here, the restaurant is perfectly made in the Japanese setting. The ramen is authentically cooked and even the wasabi is right on point.
We tried
Wasabi Prawns
Pork bao
And pork miso ramen
.
Service is quick so wont keep you waiting for long to enjoy your meal, place gets full on Saturday nights so make reservations.
Best restaurant and best disesh
Went to this quirk and beautifully decorated place. Had bao and vegetable sushi. It tasted really great! Love the quirky vibe of the place. Must visit.
The spicy salmon sushi is really great, the size of the sushi is perfect. Bigger than a few other places I’ve been to, but perfectly bite sized. The fisherman was delicious, perhaps the best G&T I’ve had in a while. The staff is super friendly and helpful, loved the ramen as well. The chocolate fondant was delicious and the cheesecake ice cream provided the perfect tartness to enhance the flavours. Had a great experience overall and have visited many times since.

My seventh visit to this light-hearted, all-day Noodle Bar and cafe, with a vibe that’s straight out of new Japan. Love their sushi and ramen 🍜
Hello Guppy has just launched a new menu of Chinese/Asian dishes and I visited them last week with my friend to try the same..
Loved the new menu 😍 this is in addition to their regular menu...
For vegetarians the must haves are Mapo Tofu, Tom Yum Soup, Cantonese chowmein
For non vegetarians - Tom yum Chicken soup, Sichuan Braised Lamb, Shanghai Fried Noodles, Xo fried rice, salt n pepper calamari, AD Baba Chicken and much more.
We started off with Tom yum Chicken soup - which was light, slightly spicy and delicious 🤤
In appetisers - my favourites were the salt n pepper calamari and the AD Baba Chicken - named after the owner of Hello Guppy, this dish is made with boneless chicken thigh and is sweet and spicy with a hint of tanginess 😍
Hunan prawns were good too 👌 fresh and delicious prawns tossed in a spicy tangy sauce...
In mains the Sichuan Braised Lamb was delicious! Tender melt in the mouth lamb pieces in a mild gravy, it went really well with the Xo fried rice which is a must order ❤️ prawns and veggies in this fried rice, make it tasty, can be even had as a stand-alone dish 👍🏼
Was too full to try the desserts 🙊
Their cocktails are strong and yummy 🤤 must try both these 👌
Mount Fuji - loved this! Peach schnapps, passion fruit nectar, apple spiked with vodka ❤️
For Guppy sake -
Slightly sour and sweet ! A lovely potent drink made with sake and vanilla vodka and lemon , lemon grass and galangal 💕
So the Pan Asian menu gets 2 thumbs up 👍🏼 👍🏼 from me!
Do visit n try asap!
Hello Guppy In Bkc 🤗❤️ - visit date September 2018

Detailed review-
I’ve been to Hello Guppy few times before and loved the sushi 🍣 here 👌 its my go to place in BKC for sushi at a reasonable price 👍🏼
So was really excited to visit them last week for the New menu launch.
Hello Guppy launched a fun new cafe-style menu, as well as a new coffee program and an exciting sundae bar with The Parfait Co.
Food from the new cafe menu was good, but I fell for the parfait and the sushi 🍣 all over again ❤️
From the new menu we tried the following dishes -
Grilled chicken 🍗 Wings 😍 - delicious and served with lemon and sea salt 👌
Breakfast platter ❤️
**most recommended 👌
Homemade chicken sausages, scrambled eggs, sautéed mushrooms and veggies with multigrain bread toast and bacon 🥓💕
Really Filling for one person 👍🏼
Soyabean hummus with sesame lavash ❤️
Black Soyabean, garlic, Tahini and EVO with crispy lavash cracker sprinkled generously with sesame seeds and seaweed powder 🤩 unexpectedly good 👌
Desserts
Taiyaki- Japanese style waffle or fish shaped cake with a trio of Belgian Chocolate, Espresso and French Vanilla parfait ❤️🤩 with marshmallows and dark chocolate chips 🙈❤️
loved the parfait especially the Belgian Chocolate flavour 😍 japanese waffles are slightly denser than normal waffles, hence but heavier and more filling.
We tried the Yakitori salmon sushi from the regular menu ❤️ it’s a must have at Hello Guppy! In fact you can opt for any sushi here with your eyes closed 👍🏼
Cocktails from the Sake cocktails and regular cocktails section-
🍹 Nippon Cooler - Rosemary shrub with Sake, lemon and grapefruit 👌 with crushed ice!
Sake is a Japanese rice wine with a sweet flavour- made with fermented rice 🍚
Pairs well with the sushi and other Japanese dishes we tried from the new Cafe menu 👍🏼
🍷 Berry Bonanza- blueberry, cranberry, red wine, brandy and triple Sec and an ice lolly 😍
🍸 Fisherman’s tonic -
Gin and elderflower cordial shaken with freshly muddled cucumber 🥒, lime and lime leaves and strained and topped with tonic 😍
🍹The pineapple 🍍 sake cocktail was delicious and refreshing too 👌
Also the black coffee was strong and yummy 👍🏼
The set up is cozy and vibrant with pink lights at night giving a very different feel to the restaurant. It is themed around a Japanese cafe or restaurant and quirky additions to the decor enhance the Japanese vibes 💕
Service is fast and responsive 👍🏼
Prices are a bit high but portions make up
Final verdict-
Definitely coming back again especially for the parfait and the sushi 👌
What I ordered -
1. Pan Fried Wantons 2.5/5 ( okay, was a bit oily ) 2. AD Baba Chicken 4/5 ( Loved it )
3. Rice Paper Rolls 4/5 ( Refreshing, amazing burst of flavour from the pickled radish )
4. Chargrilled Sweet Potato Teriyaki 4/5 ( Loved it, though I felt the portion served was small )
5. Grilled Chicken Breast 4/5 ( Amazing flavours )
6. Garlic Fried Rice 4/5 ( It was lovely coz they used Sticky rice )
7. Cheesecake 3/5 ( Decent, nothing amazing )
Overall I loved the food, the staff was courteous & even asked if anyone in our group were allergic to any foods which was really nice. I just feel the portion sizes were a bit small according to the pricing, other than that I absolutely enjoyed the food, service & the fun ambience. I'll definitely visit again.
A wonderful place situated in BKC to try out lovely Asian food. The ambiance is quite vibrant, the place being situated at the Ground floor of Godrej BKC is a great option for lunch for office goers over there! I had Shanghai Fried Noodles & the texture and the authentic flavour of Asian food was awesome!

Hello Guppy - Noodle Bar
Hello Guppy is one of the most delightful places in Mumbai for any and all ramen-lovers. If the Japenese dish means anything to you, this restaurant could become your treasured haven. Hello Guppy is located in BKC and bathes in everything Japanese, right from the food to the ambiance. Anime lovers would love it for, well, obvious reasons. Everything from their walls to their upholstery is very quirky and can engage a keen pair of eyes for a long time.
Japanese restaurants in India are generally high-end, fine-dining places. Hello Guppy is different from those because it brings you the experience of relishing Japanese food in what could be rightfully called a ‘food joint’. The light hearted decor sends out a clear message, this is a fun place to kick back, unwind and not think to much about the food or worry where it's Japanese enough.
So what all did I have ?
° Soup
- Tom yum soup
- Garlic & vegetable wonton soup
° Appetizer
- Salt pepper calamari
- Hunan Prawns
- AD baba chicken
° Rice & Noodles
- Cantonese chow mein
- XO fried rice.
Hello guppy aims to tap into the fun, easy going personality that life within each of us. The food is top notch yet approachable, The service is quick and the price point is neat
The best mushroom udon noodles! I keep coming back for these. Foolproof choice, I promise. Have tried a bunch of other things during my other visits but nothing stands out as much as the noodles.
A really good place for Asian food. I tried their California roll and pork belly skewers which were amazing . They are a must try here.
One of the best places to enjoy casual Japanese food...Love their wonton soup and their sushi’s...The overall menu selection is good
Amazing casual dining place. I enjoyed dining there. The ambience is lovely, colourful interiors and friendly staff. The sushi is excellent and is a must order, both vegetarian and non vegetarian. The place is also reasonably priced and they have a very large menu with ample choice for everyone.
Will definitely go back!
Here's where Hello Guppy just won us over.
Fantastic food and reasonable prices.
The decor is funky and gives this place a brilliant vibe.
We tried a variety of mocktails, fizz based drinks and shakes. Have to say not one disappointed us.
The overall meal left us with a smile on our face and a bulge on our belly. Even better it wont dent your wallet.
The service was very smooth and fast.
Located in the heart of BKC
Hello Guppy serves authentic Japanese cuisine.
Genuinely this is a great place with classy interiors.
Along with food this place has great Mocktails Loved their Sushis.
Definitely visiting this place once again.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Guppy originates from Delhi and Hello Guppy at BKC happens to be their first outlet in Mumbai.
We love Japanese food and always regret the dearth of good Japanese dining options in Mumbai. The few that are available are prices quite steeply.
Here's where Hello Guppy just won us over. Fantastic food and reasonable prices. This place just made it to our favorite list!!!!!
The decor is funky and gives this place a brilliant vibe.
Hello Guppy has different menus for Lunch and Dinner so we are definitely going to head there for lunch next, to see what the lunch menu is like.
They recently launched their new menu.
Our favorites from this menu were
Miso Soup
Soyabean hummus with sesame lavash
Hello Guppy Salad
Edamame Chili Garlic
Crispy Vegetable Harumaki
Japanese Vegetable Sushi Roll with Black Rice
Miso Soup
Soup with vegetables, fermented bean paste and tofu. - Tasty
Soyabean Hummus with Sesame Lavash.
The Lavash cracker sprinkled with sesame seeds went well with the soyabean hummus. It was crunchy & crispy. We loved it.
Hello Guppy Salad
Must order. Seasonal Vegetables in a mustard sauce.
Edamame Chili Garlic
Steamed Soy pods served with chili garlic dressing. Not too spicy. Just perfect, light & yum
Crispy Vegetable Harumaki
Our pick of the evening. Baked Filo Spring Rolls with vegetable stuffing. Just outstanding!!!!!!!
Sushi
We had the Japanese Vegetable sushi rolls and the Avocado, Cucumber and cream cheese sushi rolls.
We tried the Japanese Vegetable rolls in both the white and black sushi rice. This place does make some outstanding vegetarian sushi. And the black rice just make them so healthy!.
We tried a variety of mocktails, fizz based drinks and shakes. Have to say not one disappointed us.
The new Noodle bar menu serves some lip smacking dishes, recommended to try this out too.
The desserts were something unique & yummy
We loved their Chocolate Fondant Cake
It was quite heavy. The hot chocolate cake with gooey chocolate centre made the cake delicious
The overall meal left us with a smile on our face and a bulge on our belly. Even better it wont dent your wallet.
The service was very smooth and fast.
We love this place.
This place is quite a good option if you are near BKC. They serve Japanese cuisine. It's my go-to place for sushi. Ambience was too awesome.
Absolutely love the California roll - packed with crab meat. The ramen bowl is the perfect comfort food- packed with flavor!
I ordered salmon sushi, really delicious along mushroom wantons and udon veg noodles. Everything was up to the mark, especially I loved the flavour of the udon noodles. It’s a must try.
The service is super fast and so is the friendly staff service. Their food and ambience is something that makes you want to come again and relax. Plus I got 15% off on my QUICKPERKS dining discount card. !!! Overall loved it, go for it!
Binged on sushos.The big sized ones. Quick service. Decent price. Valet issuea. Janpanese cheesecake different and nice. Ya . This can be your quick susho place .
Visited this place since I wanted to have Ramen from a very long time. Ordered the port ramen and wasn't disappointed by it.
The broth was thick and fatty and contained very good pork essence. The noodles were firm and tasted good with the broth. The chashu pork itself was very fatty, tender and extremely tasty. The soft boiled was also there and it was a perfect addition to the bowl of ramen. The ramen bowl also had seaweed.
A good experience but I would say it's a bit expensive.

Since it's launch in 2017, Hello Guppy has always enticed crowds with its quirky 'kawaii' decor (Pikachu hanging off a swing, anyone) and pocket-friendly yet innovative Asian options. Considering the above aspects tick all the right boxes in my ramen-loving soul, I've always ended up going to Guppy for a bowl of thick udon noodles, or my favourite pork baos. They recently launched a Schezwan And Friends Festival which introduced a whole new range of Pan Asian dishes to their existing menu. Out of these, I wholly enjoyed the Pan-Fried Wontons, the AD Baba Chicken, the Shanghai Fried Noodles, and the Sichuan Braised Lamb. Unfortunately, their Salt Pepper Calamari (which I was really looking forward to having) wasn't available but, their gracious service more than made up for it's absence. I finished the meal with a Taiyaki Sundae (aka the Instagram famous Fish-shaped waffle) which was served warm with a slightly too sweet Raspberry sorbet but was as close to the real deal as possible. It's always a fun time when ever I've visited Hello Guppy and I can't wait to go back for more.
Its located just at the beginning of the new bkc-eeh connector. The decor is bright and colourful. The staff is courteous. They seem well versed with the menu. After placing your order the staff will actually try to explain what you should expect when it arrives and how likely are you to like it. If you are polite enough they might also teach you how to use the chop stick. It was a delightful experience. Almost authentic flavours. Great ambiance. Pretty convinient from the eastern express Highway. Going back to catch a train from Kurla might require you to walk a little bit for the shared service.
Good food
Great people

Always known for its Japanese meal, Hello Guppy has left us by surprise with the introduction of its new Chinese and Asian menu.
Delicious, unique and takes you back to the delectable old school Chinese food in town.
Here’s what we tried and we still can’t stop dreaming about it.
1. Tom Yum Soup - For all Soup lovers this was extremely tasty and was dominated with a strong essence of lime.
2. Manchow Soup - The most Classic Soup and without any doubt it was yummy and just perfect for the taste buds
3. Pan fried wantons - The most unique dish of the night. Mixed vegetables tossed in various sauces and pan fried. The presentation was just on point
4. Cantonese Chow Mein - the highlight dish. A perfect mix and blend of seasonal veggies, noodles in a soups gravy. It wasn’t spicy at all, so for those who prefer their food to be bland should opt for this.
5. Macha Fondent - This isn’t a part of the Chinese menu. However one cannot miss this amazing dessert. Served with cheesecake ice cream, chocolate crumble and macha soufflé with a gooey matcha centre this will take you to a complete heaven ? A must try dessert. Also their deserts are quite freshly baked which makes them even more tasty and refreshing
Chief Foodie Officer - Would definately revisit this place for the new menu.
However, if you are looking for a variety in menu with a lot of Chinese dishes, that’s difficult. It’s a limited menu, but surely unique.
Great vibe, tasty food, refreshing drinks .... what else would you need for a great dining experience ?
A few friends recommended this amazing place which serves authentic Japanese and Asian food .The place is beautiful from inside and the management is quite courteous and also the food isgreat .
What I had there ?
1 - Fisherman's Tonic - An amalgamation ofgin with elderflower , cucumber lime leave topped with Gin is a perfect way to enjoy your weekend . I call it as my weekend drink !
2- Onion Ring - If you are going with Fisherman's Tonic then this is the perfect thing to go on. Onion rings deep fried served with some garlic aioli .
3 - Fried Chicken curry rice - The presentation of this dish was really good. They almost made it look like a panda. This had fried chicken with some gravy , sticky rice and potato wedges .
4-Chocolate fondant - This was the best dessert that I had so far. It had this delicious goey chocolate which burst into lava and is served with a combination of cheesecake and almond crumble ice-cream .
Another amazing restaurant ticked off the food journey .

Hello Guppy, the all-day Japanese car and cafe at BKC, has always been a favorite ever since it's launched!
Located in #BKC, this place is a one.of it's kind #Japanese Cafe style restaurant in the City!
They have managed to be the pioneers to change the perception that "Japanese Food = High End"....cos it's not! It can be casual and delicious too!! Just like the food at Hello Guppy!
Quirky interiors here scream.of the cafes in #Japan and this place will be quick to transport you there!
The must try things here is their brilliant varieties of Ramen, the #Sushi and the #Baos!
Apart from their regular menu, Hello Guppy also does some amazing Food Festivals from time to time! They just launched a Schezwan & Friends Food festival bringing to life, the magic of comfort Chinese Food.
They have some delicious Stuff to offer and my favorites were the Tiger Grilled Prawns, the Succulent Lamb, the Veggie Wantons and their brilliant noodles!
Absolutely lovely food which you can pair with the loveliest cocktails.... Hello Guppy is the perfect place for a meal out with your colleagues....a good time post work...or just a fab meal with your family!

Hello Guppy
I have been to this place first time. As I have heard very good reviews about this place. The ambience of this place is a mixture of Japanese murals and lighting that has an oriental vibe. The whole place is done up with bright colors that come together beautifully and catches attention as one eats their meal.
Service wise the staff was very warm and welcoming. The service is pretty quick and the attendants are well versed with the menu.
Now, when I visited the place for the tasting of their newly launched Chinese/ Asian menu I had different experience in terms of food. Started off with some of cocktails Guppy Sake and Fisherman’s Tonic.
What I tried:
Tom Yum Soup: Asked for Chicken Manchow Soup but that was not available so have to order this. Nice flavors. Taste wise it was good but very watery. Can’t finish the full bowl.
Salt Pepper Calamari: Hot and crisp calamari pair perfectly with beer or sake. Decent portion size. Go for it.
AD Baba Chicken: It was more on sweeter side. Missing the punch in this dish.
Hunan Prawns: Again the same thing. Here Prawns was not cooked properly and also it was sweet. Please get the basics right Chef.
We had two desserts which was from their original menu. Both the desserts were Wow.
Overall, they have to look after their new menu properly. They have the potential and the pricing could be looked into.
Food: 4/5
Ambience: 4/5
Service: 5/5
Value for Money: 4/5
P.S: The review is strictly depending on my personal experience
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Their new Chinese menu was insaneee! Here’s what I tried...
Salt And Pepper Calamari: the calamari was well-cooked and the spicy mayo that went with it was sooo good!
AD Baba Chicken: This dish was a perfect blend of sweet and spicy. The chicken was crispy and saucy at the same time. Yum!
Hunan Prawns: I’d Loke to take this opportunity to say that the mean produce at Hello Guppy is unbelievable. The prawns were so fresh!
Shanghai Fried Noodles: I’ve spent months together in Shanghai and I can’t tell you how well they’ve nailed these noodles. Completely took me back to my time in China!
Sichuan Braised Lamb: The lamb was cooked to perfection and the stew was soooo succulent. I’d walk back to BKC for this stew. I don’t kid.
For dessert...
The Taiyaki Sundae
It was an eggless Japanese pancake shaped like a fish. With a ridiculously great pairing of chocolate and raspberry sorbet. Amaze!
Cocktails:
PSA: All the cocktails are super strong, just the way one would want them!
Mount Fuji: A beautiful blend of Vodka, Peach Schnapps and apples
For Guppy Sake: A super sweet one, but beware, it’s lethal AF!
Fisherman’s Tonic: Gin, Elderflower and cucumber! 👌
So I visited this place for the first time.
Setup was kinda casual and the ambiance was kinda different with Vibrant colours added to the overall ambiance. Looked more like a cafe.
The food was also good we had one non veg and veg starter but the quantity was really less compared to what we were paying. Specially the non veg dish. We ordered the Cashew Chicken and we got 6 pieces so to speak really disappointed specially this was on the Newly introduced Bar Snack menu which did live up to the mark. The veg dish was Cottage Cheese wonton strings which was really nice in taste.
For drinks we ordered the Fisherman's Tonic and Aviation cocktail. I personally dint really like both cause for some reason there was and after bitter taste left in the palette. Specially the Fisherman's Tonic it was kinda bitter.
The music was great and the service was okay. Overall experience was good. Just one complain please increase the quantity or price it accordingly and don't over price it.
This place is quite a good option if you are near Godrej BKC,unit 1
They serve Japanese cuisine.
Our order-
🍸Drinks- vergin mojito (too salty) & aviation
🍵Soups- chicken tomyom soup ,garlic and veg wouton soup
🍛Starters-hunan prawns (recommend),AD baba chicken and salt pepper calamari
🥘 Maincourse- sinchunn braised lamb and
XO fried rice(recommend)
Dessert- Taiyaki Sunday (too tangy)
Chocolate fondant (recommend)
Overall this place has good music 🤘😍
My husband and I have been going to this place for quite some time now.. it's my go-to place for sushi.. the pork miso broth is out of this world ♥️
One of my favorite places for Asian food. Absolutely love the California roll - packed with crab meat. The ramen bowl is the perfect comfort food- packed with flavor! Last but not the least, Dessert- the best one yet - The Old Monk chocolate pastry!
Hello Guppy is a very chic and funky place. You will see a lot of young crowd here. The vibe here is very cheerful. Nicely lit ambiance decorated with lots of roof lamps.
I totally loved the food here. I ordered salmon sushi, really delicious along mushroom wantons and udon veg noodles. Everything was up to the mark, especially I loved the flavour of the udon noodles. It’s a must try. However, I found sushi a little bit for five as 8 pieces were Rs. 850 but it was salmon so maybe that’s why.
Also, tried the raspberry beer from their must recommend menu. I don’t totally loved it. A must try. Mushroom wantons was a unique appetiser and a must try for veg food lovers. The best part about my visit here was the free old monk cake, which was so scrumptious. It’s a great place chill with friends after office or on the weekends. Price for 2 would be around 3000 stars including a drink or two. Over all experience was superb.

If you're at BKC without a prior booking on a Friday night, odds are that most of the places will be brimming with people enjoying the start of the weekend. As for our unplanned evenings, we arrived at Hello Guppy simply looking at the table availability. Little did we know that dinner at the comparatively less crowded restaurant with a retro "Noodle Bar" lighting at its door would be such a great experience!
As we entered around 8:30pm, we were informed of 1+1 Happy hours deals which was on till 9pm. The happy hour menu seemed limited but then again, it was good enough. Cocktails & the non-alcoholic drinks were pretty good.
Among starters, we had
(i) Sweet & Sour Fried Chicken - Pretty good!
(ii) Veg. Spring Rolls - Definitely tasty, but portion size consisted of only 4 pieces.
(iii) Fried Onion Rings - a classic appetizer - can't go wrong with it.
From the main course, we had :
(i) Exotic Mushroom Udon Noodles - Quantity good enough for one. Tastes decent, nothing that great.
(ii) Tofu & Vegetable Curry Rice - Really good presentation. It's like a rice bowl, and although the flavor felt slightly overpowering, the taste was really good.
(iii) Pork Ramen in Miso Pork Broth - Tastes great. The subtle, smoky flavor of the pork really made the dish worth tasting.
(iv) Grilled Market Fish - Definitely tasty, although it's basic grilled fish tossed in a light soya-based sauce.
The place had great food, excellent service and amazing music. The ambiance is loud, casual and family friendly. Portion sizes could be a topic to look into. Overall, I'd love to visit this place again.
Cost for two : Rs 1500.
Colorful interiors, tasty and mouth watering noodles...service is a bit slow and lethargic and service still very unskilled but overall a good experience
The place is too expensive but who cares when the food is so great. The only place in mumbai where I only prefer having the veg food.
Must Haves:
1) Avocado and Cucumber roll
2) Char grilled sweet potatoes
3) Tofu & Vegetable curry rice
Cocktails to die for:
1) Fisherman's Tonic
2) Aviation (if you want that extra oomph)
Great place, great staff.
I went to this place specifically for the ramen noodles. We tried both chicken and pork ramen noodles. Loved the chicken ramen. Pork ramen I expected a bit more though. Sushis we awesome with freshly made wasabi. Ambience was too awesome. 4/5 for all in experience. Looking forward to visit again.
Well recommended for the sushi lovers and the one looking for some interesting decor. We tried their 'Prawn Tempura' 'Crabmeat' and 'Salmon' sushis and prawn tempura was the winner(ended up repeating this one). Also, do try their 'Old monk cheesecake' it's surely gonna get you high;)
Good food+eclectic flatware
Sushi platter + bottle of wine + Chicken Ramen Noodles = 6500 Rs approx
Good sushi platter to quench your sushi craving ..
Plus you can try accompanying the sushi with a good bottle of wine ..
Service is also very nice and thoughtful
So i visited this small and cozy Japanese restaurant close to my work called @helloguppy . When you enter this place you get that vibe of being in Japanese cartoons. Its a very colourful and vibrant place. Having said that, the food here is just amazing. Their sushi is worth trying.
For starters we had Salmon Tartare which is off the menu. This dish was the highlight of the whole dinner. Fresh and soft salmon mixed with nice creamy tartar sauce, layered with refreshing avacado puree and served with pickled cucumber.
For main course we had Chicken Ramen Noodle which reminded me of those shinchan cartoons. The ramen had this hearty chicken broth topped with soft boiled eggs, sweet corn kernels, bean sprouts, chicken, sea weeds and pak choi.
And for dessert we had Chocolate Fondant which had hot chocolate cake with gooey chocolate centre along side cheesecake icecream.
@helloguppy has amazing cocktails as well.

Hello Guppy, a place meant probably for the best Japanese food. From dimsums to classic sushis to some kickass ramen bowls, they have it all. Located on the ground floor on the Godrej building, this place is easy to find. Next up, the setup and the ambiance has that typical Japanese feel to it. Right from the bar to the wall hangings.
The best day to visit, are the Thursdays where they have karaoke nights. I visited on the same day and had a great time.
This place is a heaven for Ramen lovers. Started off with a portion of "Pork Ramen with Miso Pork Broth". Called for a half and half portion of it and was very delicious.
The boiled egg and the corn made is so damn appetizing.
"Sweet and Sour Fried Chicken", this being one of their signature appetizers. This goes and went along with my drink. The chicken chunks were decent in size and taste better when had with the hot sauce served on the table. Also can be had with the tarter sauce.
I so loved the "Prawns Gyoza" and the "Slow Cooked Pork Bao". Both were precisely made and well presented. Its a delight on tastebuds when had with particular sauces served along. Nicely executed.
When it comes to sushi, "Prawns Tempura Roll" has always been my favorite. Gladly ordered for a portion for it and it did live up to the expectations. A touch of wasabi and a dip in soy sauce and you are good to go. Also, it's their in-house special and recommended for sure.
Ended the meal with "Taiyaki Sundae" which is basically an eggless Japanese pancake. Fish-shaped waffles served with chocolate and raspberry sorbet. Loved it to the core.
Coming to the drinks, they had some amazing happy hour options and took good advantage of it. Called for "Bittersweet Symphony" and "Fisherman's Tonic". Both the cocktails were good with the right amount of liquor. Well blended as well.
Its great place overall and pricing is also decent, it's not that high for the quality of the food served here. The best part was the Karaoke night. Even the service was outstanding. A good place to enjoy good Japanese food.
This is pocket friendly place in the heart of BKC, we tried the vegetarian food like - ramen 🍜, tofu mushroom gravy with sticky rice 🍚 and obviously the sushi 🍥.
The service is super fast and so is the friendly staff service. Overall loved it, go for it!

Located on the ground floor of Godrej Building in Bandra Kurla Complex; Hello Guppy is a Vegetarian and Non Vegetarian options of Japanese and Asian food. They also have JAIN food options available with a separate JAIN menu. The place provides valet parking and and home delivery too.
We visited this place during a Monday lunch. Not only it looks inviting from outside but also the warm and cozy décor and ambience gives you a positive vice. They have decorated the place in the Modern Japanese way with artifacts and frames on the walls, to the different hanging lights with either a popcorn cover on it or even a Pickachu Pokemon popping out from one of these in the centre. They have also done a great artwork in the centre of the ceiling as well as behind the seating areas. Not only this but even the bathrooms are covered with graffities. We took a corner table where the table itself was a ping pong table covered with lights and glass making it a different meal experience altogether.
Below is what we tried:
*SMALL PLATES:*
# Chargrilled Sweet Potato Teriyaki – Some amazing appetizer to start with; this one had grilled sweet potatoes topped with sesame teriyaki sauce. Totally delicious.
# Crispy Vegetables Spring Rolls – These were oven baked filo spring rolls filled with exotic vegetables and served with lines of tart miso sauce on the side.
*DUMPLING:*
# Edamame & Corn Dumpling – Another dish with amazing presentation as well as taste; creamed edamame and buttered corn filled in the dumpling and served in a soup spoon with truffle chilli citrus soya sauce drizzled on it.
*SUSHI:*
# Avocado Cucumber & Cream Cheese Roll – Sushi rolls with cream cheese, cucumber pieces and avocado, topped with sesame seeds and served with baby ginger and wasabi.
#Asparagus Tempura Rolls – Spicy mayo and crispy batter fried asparagus rolled in the rice sushi and served with baby ginger and wasabi.
*NOODLES:*
# Hokkaido Raiyu Miso Ramen – Udon noodles Served in spicy miso stock, topped with sweet corn, seaweed and sprouts. This is a meal in itself and very popular in Japan. Loved the taste and presentation too.
*DRINKS:*
# Elderflower Forest Presse – a drink with 3 layers of colours as it is seen. This one had blueberries, passion fruit and elderflower. We asked them to make it without soda (fizz) and it tasted really great. Don’t miss this out.
# Call Me Honey – a fruit smoothie made with raspberry, orange and honey; presented in one of the fancy ceramic glass. We not only loved the presentation but the taste was amazing too. Def try this.
*DESSERT:*
# Taiyaki Sunday Eggless Japanese Pancake Dessert – When it comes to desserts who can say no. This was suggested to us by our table caretaker which had Fish shaped eggless waffles with chocolate sorbet and raspberry sherbet. I am sure you will love the flavour of it.
Overall, we had a great time at Hello Guppy. From their hospitality to the food, everything was really nice. I must say that they do some amazing job in the cooking. We would like to specially thank our table caretaker Poumei who gave great suggestion and service as well as to the manager. We are gonna visit soon again to try the other variants. Def recommend this restaurant to the readers.

Hello guppy is a hello hippy place! Love it for it’s eclectic decor and colourful plates and cutlery. I loved their range of ramen and suimai. The drinks though are a bit on the sweeter side and less on the alcohol bit. Haven’t tasted a whole lot but whatever I did was tasty 😋
It's one of the best sushis & sashimi in town. Love the food here and even the quirky Japanese decor. A must visit for sushi lovers. I can eat here like a pig... The pork ramen is to die for. I have tried the California roll, prawn tempura,salmon with creme cheese, the tuna sashimi, the smoked salmon sashimi, the seasalt edemame, the sweet potatoes teriyaki, the pork Pao , the veg spring roll ... Everything on the menu is to die for..the dessert can take a miss but you won't regret it. We were 6 people , ordered 22 dishes ... Got out guppu from hello guppy!!!
The place has good asian food. Different varieties of Baos are available here. We tried the sake and liked it. The sakes are served either hot or cold. Go for the hot one, we found them better than the cold ones.
When we went there, the place was kinda full and they asked us to come back in 40 mins. But the manager was really sweet and he re-arranged a few tables for us so that we didn’t have to wait for so long.
If you’re an asian food lover, you can definitely visit this place.

This is my second visit to Hello Guppy after a almost a year and half, at first sight I was a little disappointed as the ambiance didn't seem as vibrant as it was before with its Pink neon lighting and interesting props lying around. Anyway it was still quite nice, even the Karaoke event was pleasant.
Coming to the food, we began with a round of their recommended dishes, their Signature Pork Belly, Sweet and Sour Fried Chicken, Chicken Wings and Slow Cooked Pork Belly Bao.
The Fried Chicken was delicious, the tartar sauce does give it a nice tangy kick, chicken wings here are slight different, they have strong smoky flavor, a dash of lime goes well with it.
However, the pork was a clear winner here, they do a phenomenal job in cooking it, you have to try it out. Its crisp yet melts away as you take a bite. Strongly Recommended!
Next we tried out some Sushi, we went for the Spicy Tuna Roll, Battera Sushi with Salmon and Aburi Salmon Nigiri. Overall I found the Sushi here quite simple as compared to other places. It doesn't have the fancy garnishing and seasoning other places offer, which in a way is nice but I feel the quality of fish could have been better. However, the Salmon Nigiri was far superior than the other two rolls. You should try out their Nigiri and maybe skip the rest.
For mains we had to go for at least one Noodle dish, so we picked the Udon Chicken Curry Noodles, which is a very photogenic dish, served with Minced Chicken and a Sunny Side fried egg. Along with that we went for their Grilled Sea-bass. The noodles were a clear winner here, they were cooked perfectly and the spicy minced chicken elevated the flavors even further. Sea bass was good but overall I found the seafood quality quite average.
Completely stuffed from our heavy main course, we went for desserts, Chocolate Fondant and PBJ. Difficult to take a pick between the two as both dishes were excellent. A good end to out evening.
Lastly a quick shout out to their cocktails which were excellent and in a rare case we loved all four that we tried out. Nippon Cooler, Pineapple Refresher, Fisherman's Tonic and Bittersweet Symphony. Each better than the other. The Nippon Cooler and Pineapple refresher were Sake based and quite potent, the flavors were totally on point. The Bittersweet Symphony however stole my heart, the most perfect Whiskey cocktail that I have tried out. Cant wait to try it out again. Do try out their Signature cocktails, they are totally worth it.
Overall, Hello Guppy does an excellent job with their Pork, Chicken and Cocktails. You could skip the seafood. Definitely worth trying out, Cheers!

Was here for dinner on Saturday eve n let me tell u its a fun place to be with interesting food n good foot tapping music which is played not that loud, enough for one to make conversation.. Only hitch is the pricing of this place as I found it to be on very expensive side specially for the place.. However it does not mean that place is not good.. It's a decent 50/60 seater place having normal chair n couches seatings at most part.. Few tall chair seatings around entrance n ones at bar with tables attached to it are quite comfortable n looks good n is quite innovative too.. Bar looks very attractive specially with glowing fluorescent plastic bath rings hanging up there.. Decor of this place is also good n is designed keeping japanese culture in mind n neon lighting just makes it look very attractive n different..People loving to click pics will love photo op that's at almost every corner of this place including washroom too .. This place offers range of delicious, easy to eat, Japanese food.. There are varieties of soups, noodles sushi, salads, small plates n dessert on offering out here .. They also have a separate Jain menu which is interesting as I don't see many Jain people eating Jain food at a combo place .. However we tried few dishes out here...
Char grilled sweet potato teriyaki - These grilled sweet potato fries have a little kick n are perfectly tender in the middle n bit crisp on the outside.. The teriyaki sauce was marinated nicely n gave lovely flavor to this one
Mushroom n cheese bao - These baos were yummy.. Bao were steamed well n were stuffed with creamy caramelised mushrooms n cheese.. Only hitch was its eating experience.. It was too much stuffed making it tough to eat without getting dropped
Mushroom taki komi rice - This staple Japanese rice dish are made of short-grain rice are cooked with vegetables.. It's seasoned with dashi n soy sauce n mushroom adds more flavor to this already flavoured dish.. Light n good one
Old monk cake - It was booziest chocolate cake I have ever had.. This one is made of rich chocolate n coffee mousse n had old monk rum infused in it along with almond brittle n was topped with caramel popcorn.. It had lovely silky texture n tasted absolutely delicious
Food presentation is simple yet attractive.. Service was very good.. Right from greeting us when we entered till the time we left we were taken care of really well.. Stafff patiently explained about the food n helped us in placing order.. They were very courteous n well behaved.. As said pricing I just felt was on high side specially Becoz its a small place n it does not meet the comfort which one needs while spending big,otherwise its perfect in all the other ways.. It's almost 3k per couple place with few drinks.. Obviously offers like that of Zomato gold or Dineout would land up making u pay less .. Anyway if u don't mind spending much then this is good place to try specially one looking for authentic Japanese food
My recommendations - char grilled sweet potato teriyaki, mushroom taki komi rice, old monk cake
Food - 4.5/5
Ambiance - 4/5
Service - 5/5
Value for money - 3.5/5
Guppy is one of my favourite spots in Mumbai. Last month i visited Guppy 4 times, only to realise that the experience keeps getting only better. From the prawn crackers, to chilli edamame, to the bacon wrapped chicken-sausage, to the Udon Noodles, to the prawn tempura sushi and finally the chicken ramen, i’ve tried almost the entire menu and can gladly say that it successfully quenches all my asian cravings.
Surprisingly good food and really welcoming staff. I am not much of a fan of Asian food but this place made me change my mind! Reasonable on the pocket for food and drinks, their cocktails are my favourite here!
Old monk cake!!
For all those who love old monk & can't resist desserts. This place offers fanciest dessert in the town in form of this delicious cake alongside caramel popcorns!!!
Had a great time at Hello Guppy! Their sushi is amazing and staff is extremely courteous and friendly. The ambiance could be better, but I will definitely visit again!
Wanted to check out this place since recommended by a friend.
I have tried:
Chicken shuimai
- ok, nothing great
Hello Guppy salad
- sad, avoid
Suimono soup
- delicious, the best soup you can ever eat in your life, sadly only available on the combo menu
Chasu Pork belly with sticky rice
- good but too much rice to pork ratio
Chicken Ramen
- very nice, unique taste, get this
Brownie
- okay, nothing great
Ice tea
- can skip this
Packaging: good
Pricing: expensive without combo
Went for a quick lunch at Hello Guppy during the lunch hours at BKC. Firstly the restaurant is very colourful 😄. Its known for their Japanese cuisine.
We tried out their chicken dumplings and Japanese sobo rice.
Good place if you are a noodle lover..we have ordered Uron noodles.. taste was good , presentation was Okies.. next time will definitely visit again to try other dishes..
Japanese is not something i eat often but on my friends request i tried here and loved sushi and sashmis. Im not a sushi fan but somehow for a change I loved it.
I also tried miso soup but was not something i can eat again. Was not bad but not something i like.
Teriyaki vegetables was also good in taste.
Nice interiors and a food place to spend with your loved ones.
This place was so much on mind to visit but I ended up Ordering food from here 🤩and not to mention I was absolutely worth the wait .. I ordered 3 dishes.. to start off with
sweet potato teriyaki-absolute must try with sweet tinge and sesame seeds.
The 🍄 mushroom Bao- I was surprised as to how tasty and light on the stomach it was 👍🏽
Finally ..Cucumber sushi roll-if ur a mood to try sushi and don’t want to get disappointed..pls give this a try ..u won’t be disappointed 😊
Overall great food ..packaging was very good👍🏽
Great place to go to after work. Started buzzing by 8 . The interiors were done tastefully and their Japanese cuisine was very good. The sushi had many options and we tried 2 of them, both great!
Difficult to miss this place as there is a nice art installation just outside it.
Hello Guppy ❤️
I recently visited Hello Guppy for their Aloha Tiki Festival. This was my first time to try authentic Japanese food in Mumbai and I was floored by this cuisine.
They served us some really nice Drinks and Food dishes from their Special Tiki Fest menu. The service was excellent.
We tried some nice dishes like Loco Moco Chicken, Tuna Poke, Pork Croquettes and some yummy Salmon and Prawn Sushi. The Food is simply spectacular.
In desserts we tried the Japanese eggless Waffle and the Chocolate Fondant. I loved both the desserts. It was a perfect end to our lovely Lunch.

Hello Guppy
I have been to this place first time. As I have heard very good reviews about this place. The ambience of this place is a mixture of Japanese murals and lighting that has an oriental vibe. The whole place is done up with bright colors that come together beautifully and catches attention as one eats their meal.
Service wise the staff was very warm and welcoming. The service is pretty quick and the attendants are well versed with the menu.
Now, when I visited the place for the tasting of their newly launched Chinese/ Asian menu I had different experience in terms of food. Started off with some of cocktails Guppy Sake and Fisherman’s Tonic.
What I tried:
Tom Yum Soup: Asked for Chicken Manchow Soup but that was not available so have to order this. Nice flavors. Taste wise it was good but very watery. Can’t finish the full bowl.
Salt Pepper Calamari: Hot and crisp calamari pair perfectly with beer or sake. Decent portion size. Go for it.
AD Baba Chicken: It was more on sweeter side. Missing the punch in this dish.
Hunan Prawns: Again the same thing. Here Prawns was not cooked properly and also it was sweet. Please get the basics right Chef.
We had two desserts which was from their original menu. Both the desserts were Wow.
Overall, they have to look after their new menu properly. They have the potential and the pricing could be looked into.
Food: 4/5
Ambience: 4/5
Service: 5/5
Value for Money: 4/5
P.S: The review is strictly depending on my personal experience.

The land of the Rising Sun has always managed to drive us inquisitive with their love for fishes and their ever fresh and natural delights. Now, this beautiful land and its cuisine has been brought to us in one of the most quirkiest and chic ways possible with Hello Guppy! Unique tables, bubbly interiors and well, something fishy too!
We were recently here to give their Japanese cuisine a try and we were definitely impressed. What’s an evening without great drinks! So, we started off with the Fisherman's Tonic. Now this one was a gin based drink loaded with the essence of elderflower and more. It had a taste of cucumber and lime which gave it a refreshing touch with a swirl of tonic. Next one was as quirky as it sounds! The Gummy Drop was loaded with strawberry milkshake and squished gummy bears. We tried two more from their never ending and extremely vast menu. The Atom Bomb and the Bubble Wrap arrived and we chugged them down in no time. The atom bomb was vodka based and had a sweet peachy flavour. Passion fruit and apple gave it a sour sweet touch and made it taste even better. The bubble wrap on the other hand, had a flavour of matcha green tea with a hint of coconuts to give it a tropical and rich taste.
Coming to the food, we started off with the Crisp Vegetable Harumaki. Now this one was crunchy on the outside and extremely soft inside. Tender vegetables covered in filo were really delicious. The sauce served at the side gave it a lot of flavour making it even better. Next one was from their range of sushi. The Avocado, Cucumber, and Cream Cheese Roll was made with black rice stuffed with an crisp interior. The avocado and cream cheese gave it a sweet creamy taste overall and the sushi turned out to be absolutely delicious. The Asparagus Tempura Roll on the other hand was crispy and was rolled up in a bed of white rice with the healthy touch of asparagus. It had a proper amount of sweetness and flavour just to keep up its subtleties.
The Mushroom Udon Noodles were the next to arrive. The noodles tasted like an authentic Japanese dish with three different types of mushrooms. Along with the mushrooms, there were other veggies too, adorning the noodles. The stirred up deliciousness had a spicy touch to it with the sweet juiciness of mushroom. This dish has huge quantity and its very filling.
Moving on to the desserts, we tried the Raindrop Cake and the Mango and Raspberry Parfait first. The raindrop cake is a classic native to Japan. It gets its name by the appearance and it was topped with crackers and pops to give it a unique touch. The cake is clear and served with syrup on the side. The texture was jiggly and tasted sweet-sour. It was absolutely delicious and one of a kind too. The Mango and Raspberry Parfait was another delicacy with alternative crumbs of cereals and fruits. The mango on top with lots of layers all the way to the bottom with the raspberry compote was all in all a great and delicious dish. The Blueberry Crepe was the last one and yes, it was unique too. Mini crepes served with blueberry compote and loaded with whipped. This was served with a variety of fruits and a flambé done with brandy.
Overall, the place is a jewel and amongst one of the top places serving Japanese cuisine. In fact, one could easily say that the food coupled up with this chic ambience definitely is the only place in town to truly experience the land of the Rising Sun!
Ambience: 5/5
Taste Quotient: 4.5/5
Service: 5/5
Loved the food here, especially the broth.
This place has 2+2 on drinks for Zomato Gold members.
Nice place to go and chill with friends. Since the music is not so loud, it's a nice place to have conversations with friends and enjoy some good food and drinks.

Mushroom Suimone:
It is a clear soup with a dominant flavor of mushroom along with a ting of truffle in it. The soup also contains boiled flat noodles in it which adds a little bit of bite in it.
Spicy Salmon roll:
Being a Japanese restaurant, sushis are Hello Guppy's USP. The sushis here are well presented and have a very beautiful texture. The staff here is really friendly and they do teach you how to eat those sushis in a traditional Japanese manner. When eaten with a house special chili sauce, these traditional sushis have a mild flavor at the start, but has a strong spicy and a tuna dominant flavor inside.
Udon Noodles with exotic Mushrooms:
Well who said Japanese restaurants aren't for vegetarians. These flat noodles have a zingy tomato flavor along with sautéed mushrooms which made this noodle bowl exotic indeed.
Chicken karage:
With flavorful spicy crust and a hot and juicy chicken core, this appetizer is a must try at Hello Guppy ! It might seem to be a little bit dry from the outside, but it is really zingy and juicy from the inside making it absolutely delectable.
Mount fiji:
This cocktail has a sweet amazing flavor of a fusion of peach, passion fruit and apple in it with a twist of vodka.
Bittersweet symphony:
This is one heck of a smooth drink ! It has very domainant bitter flavor at the start with sweet ending on each sip keeping an absolutely amazing balance of flavors.
Mushroom Takikomi rice with salmon:
The sticky rice has strong curry flavors along with a salmon on the top. The salmon had a beautiful pink color and was cooked to perfection. It was easily being sliced with a chopstick and had some brilliant flavors when eaten with the sticky rice.

HELLO GUPPY - THE NOODLE BAR (Yes you read it correct) they have revamped. From Japanese they are Noodle Bar concept. Decor remains the same. Focus is more on Baos, Sushi's Spicy Udon Noodles Donburi Ramen Burgers and Bowls. Yes and their amazing Tikki Cocktails and menu which they have launched. Vibe and energy is amazing. Packed on a weekday. Started of with the Classic Mai Tai (Rum Based Drink) Old Monk with orange and Bitters. Followed this with Hello Zombie - Sambuca based strong along with Rum.
Food - Tuna and avocado Pork (Hawaiian's Love) Combination of Fresh Tuna, Pork, sweetness of plum and Daikon Radish curd in soy-sesame balanced the dish. Lovely texture served with Pickled with cucumber and seaweed.
Baos - slow cooked Chashu and the other one was Chicken Bao, Fresh. Got the crunchiness from the tempura fritters. Honey soy got the glaze. Pickled Radish iceberg complemented. Miso Mustard sauce elevated the flavours. No flaws.
Salmon Sashimi with Tuna was good. Do try. Goes well with Wasabi and soy.
HG PORK BELLY - Melt in mouth. Signature dish. Made to perfection. It's slow braised. Sheen was good/Glaze. Magic from the soy honey. Gave that sour sweet combination. Mustard Miso sauce balanced the dish. Served on a skewer.
Sweet and Picked Spiced Chicken - something different. Panco Fried chicken with sweet/chilli sauce. One can have this with curry or just the way it is. Texture was good. Topped with Tart Miyo sauce. Do try this.
Sushi - Mango being in the news, HG has some interesting Mango based sushi on their menu. For the Vegetarians try the Mango Avocado - a mix of subtle/sweet touch. Compact - in short madewell. Their Non Veg version is Mango Tuna which again had a good balance.
California Roll Latin Black Rice sushi is different. Organic rice. This had Crab/cucumber/avocado and flying fish eggs. Signature dish.
Mains - stick to the basics.
-----------------------------
UDON NOODLES (Thick/flat/wheat based) we asked for Chicken. Apart from Vegetables and mushrooms they Fried chicken. Taste - Tangy and spicy as they used black pepper. A meal by itself. Scallions and sesame as a garnish. Presentation was good.
Ramen - Another must have at GH (The Noodle Bar) this was lovely. Miso based. Either a hit or a miss. Strong Miso Ramen (Signature dish) this has Spicy Miso stock. Basically Ramen are egg noodles either served with soy or Miso. This also had broccoli/corn/sprouts seaweed and Boiled egg along with the noodles. Overall good.
Dessert - Stuck to the popular TAIYAKI SUNDAE (eggless Japanese pancake) these come in a shape of a fish. Made in house. Served with chocolate and raspberry Sorbet. Do Try. Sweetness of chocolate and citrus touch of raspberry.
Overall - My take on this place as always been well. Now that It's a Noodle bar, lot of changes happening. Do keep a track on the menu and the festivals happening. Enjoy HG and keep smiling. Cheers.

Teriyaki glazed artichoke and tofu soy glazed grilled artichoke and tidy served on a bed of seasonal greens - So I had this . They had big pieces of Tofu served with a very subtle sauce .
Garlic fried rice - I chose a very classic dish . The rice was soft with a strong flavour of garlic which went perfectly with my meal .
Coming to my desserts ,
That was the best part of my meal .
The molten lava chocolate cake is to die for . I would again go there just to eat that desert served with fresh blueberry icecream . I have not eaten such a good icecream in a long time .
Next was my parfait . Loved the presentation . They make icecream out of a local Japanese ingredient and make a cute bunny out of it .
The parfait consists of fresh fruits with corn flakes and all . Very refreshing .
Overall great chilled place for Japanese food .

BKC keeps surprising us every time we plan to visit a new place in the hub . This time it was time to say Hello Guppy.
This one is an authentic Japanese Cuisine Resto however what exited us to visit this place is their newly Launched Cafe Style Menu .
Even though it's a hardcore Japanese Cuisine Restaurant they have still kept enough options to savour for Vegetarians like us .
The Cafe Style Menu is definitely a must try for all those looking forward to have some Delicious western dishes with a Japanese Twist .
Highlighting the dishes which we savoured out here .
Soyabean Hummus & Sesame Lavash :
Hummus done abosultely well and goes great with the Crisp Sesame Lavash. Indeed a health food lovers delight.

Every single broccoli had a crunch along with a succulent taste of Sauces in which it was soaked after being grilled .
Jenga Cheese Toast With Egg :
This one was the star dish of the eve . Cheese Toast Platted in Jenga Style and Topped with a poached Egg served along with a hot sauce and spiced up Mayo .A definite must try when you are looking at their cafe Menu.

A mix of exotic veggies within a hot and thick sauce poured of crisp Ramen Noodles. Being a Japanese Style Resto they master in this dish .

Between two luscious Taiyaki Breads are Fluffy Omelettes with veggies , house special pickle , and topped with lots of cheese . Will visit the place soon definitely for this one for sure .

An amazing experience. Almost everyone can give their taste buds a lift after dining at this place which also has a bar. If you love Japanese cuisine you are guaranteed to fall in love with this place. Although they take a bit more time than usual to prepare their food but it turns out to be worth the wait and their portions aren’t as much as they charge for it but they use exotic ingredients which increases the cost.
This is my favourite Japanese place in india so far and that’s coming from someone who has lived in japan for two years.
I have had their pork and it was absolutely tender.
The next time I did their set meal and it was flawless.
I highly recommend going there for your next Japanese meal and it won’t fail you!
I’m dying to go back already.
This place is a must go for Instagram photo addicts..it's so well decorated n the the interior itself is very attractive. The drinks served are awesome aswell...I didn't liked their food maybe it because it doesn't matches my taste. Anyways the service is also good there.
Great ambiance and delicious food. It takes you through tiny streets of Japan and anime playing in the background was an added bonus. Its a must visit if you want to try it love Japanese food. They serve sake which is definitely an unique selling point.
Nice hi-tech neon Tokyo vibe. The tables are too cramped. The distance between two places must be more. The food is great. Loved the prawn tempura sushi and the Katsu chicken curry. Worthy of a visit.
Nice quick meal.
The staff was courteous and helpful.
I liked the taste of the food served there.
It's a neat and tidy place too.
The staff helps you with suggestions if you ask, so make sure you ask if you need suggestion , options and clarity.

Hello Guppy!!!
As cute as its name, Hello Guppy springs across a very pleasant surprise that introduces you to Japanese comfort food. It tickles your palate with delicate flavors, letting you appreciate finer nuances of the cuisine, yet keeping it super chick and super comfortable.
Coming to the food, which is usually the main star of any restaurant, was different, tasty and super fresh. Lets begin my review.
1) BBLT Ramen Burger - When your ramen noodles takes a trip to burger land!! The biggest gigantic burger I have had in a longgggg time. The burger starts with a ramen noodle patty, then some fresh veggies, then a humungus pork pattie, cheese, mayo, mustard, fried egg anf another patty. Soooo good, delicious and does not leave you feeling guilty. Its totally recommended.
2) Tiger Prawns Tempura – Simple tempura fried prawns served with aioli and prawns poppadoms. The coasting was crispy and when combined with the aioli was brilliant.
3) California Rolls – I love Sushi… it’s a complete meal in its self. This one had crabs and when paired with lemon grass infused soya sauce, I was in sushi heave!!
4) Grilled Chicken Wings – Simple chicken wings, infused with soya and smoke to give it their signature smokiness. Though dry from the outside, it was moist inside so great job done!
5) Hokkaido Rayu Miso Ramen – Simple Ramen noodles, in a miso based broath, served with veggies and soya cured half porced egg. The flavors are delicate and the entire bowl is extremely soothing.
6) Prawn Garlic fried rice – Pan fried prawns rice. Simple, authentic and delicious. Served with fried garlic slices.
7) Pork Belly - I love pork belly. the fat, the tender meat chuncks, the sweet sauce that engulfs it all.. yumm
8) Matcha White Chocolate Mocha – A green tea in a cappachino styke infused with white chocolate. Relaxing indeed!
9) Taiyaki - A signature specialty of the house. This is served with three scoops of ice cream (Vanilla, Caramel and coffee) Sandwiched between a fish shaped pan cake. The pan cake looked super stunning
Cocktails
1) Pineapple Refresher – A Sake based drink with pineapples, rosemary, ginger ale and other goddies. The drink was unique and love the combination of flavours.
2)Nippon Cooler – A star. When rosemary and grape fruit come together, the create a magical combination
3) Hokkon Nikko – what I loved about this is that you can have it hot cold or at room temperature. Just a straight drink.
Overall –
Hello Guppy is extremely cute, fun, vibrant and makes you happy. Thought the food is different that our Indian cuisine, this defiantly leaves a lasting memory. The must try in the Ramen burger here.
Bon Appetite !
This is pocket friendly place in the heart of BKC, we tried the vegetarian food like - ramen 🍜, tofu mushroom gravy with sticky rice 🍚 and obviously the sushi 🍥.
The service is super fast and so is the friendly staff service. Overall loved it, go for it!
