The folks behind Hello Arigato are right at it again — they are definitely starting 2026 with a bit of a bang with the new opening of their Cross Street outlet that takes over the former premises of the now-defunct WANt Food Taiwanese Delights 恋恋湾味 there; this would be shop unit located at the corner that is also along the same stretch of shops where one can find other notable F&B establishments like the outlet of Wang Dae Bak Korean BBQ and Yanhuo Restaurant 烟伙餐馆. This is Hello Arigato’s smallest location thus far; whilst the entire operations at Cross Street does seem to be more catered towards takeaways, there is a small dine-in area where one can choose to still enjoy their food on the spot. Considering the slightly scaled down operations here, the food menu at this outlet is limited to offerings within the categories of Sandos, Sides, Dips, Matcha and Coffee and More.

The Bro Cali Sando is one of the new creations that has bene introduced to the menu at Hello Arigato’s Cross Street outlet — this is also the only vegetarian option when it comes to their Sando offerings. The menus describes the Bro Cali Sando to come with elements such as fried broccoli florets, miso teriyaki glaze, roasted pepper relish and Swiss cheese. Taking a bite into the Bro Cali Sando, we did notice that the bread used here is especially soft, light and fluffy — this would work especially for those whom are opting for the heftier and meatier sandos at Hello Arigato where the bread would not feel particularly overwhelming. The use of fried broccoli florets replaces the typical feature of meats in a Sando by giving it a substantial bite; the fried broccoli florets coming with charred florets that gives a bit of a crisp texture whilst elements such as the Swiss cheese does give a bit of an added savoury note to the Sando. What brings all of the elements together would be both the miso teriyaki glaze, roasted pepper relish — the former adding yet another dimension of sweet-savoury notes whilst the roasted pepper relish comes with a bit of a tang; adds up to provide for a umami note that made us finish the sandwich in no time.
