I’ve heard about this place, Guppy’s Tea House, (or just Guppy’s) about three years ago, but I never got the chance to experience it until just recently. And anything can be said about this restaurant, everything will be biased.
Guppy’s has a jungle atmosphere. But the overall feel of dining here can truly be experienced late at night because Guppy’s is popular among “younger” crowd—which can make it quite intimidating for the “older” crowd. It’s dominated by the younger generation and the servers are a part of the younger generation. So attitude and delay will be experience during your meal.
Overall, the food is decent.
Since it’s popular among the younger crowd they’re satisfied and go head over heels for the Hawaiian Fried Rice, Shaved Ice, and Butter Coconut Brick Toast (see image). I must agree that even I enjoy these top three favorites but it’s the simplicity of it that makes it so appealing. Hawaiian Fried Rice is pretty much fried rice with pineapples stuffed into a hollowed out pineapple; shaved iced is fruits with condense milk and shaved ice (go figure); but Butter Coconut Brick Toast is a bit different. It is a slice of bread that is about 2 inches thick with I guess you can say condensed milk, then drizzled with chocolate and caramel syrup—my opinion is that its even better with vanilla ice cream on top. Guppy’s comes to life late at night on the weekends. It’s packed even when you’re arriving at midnight. Therefore, it’s a dining experience that you have to experience for yourself. The area is small and overcrowded with just decent food. It’s a hang out place for the younger generation. So don’t be surprised if you’re waiting for about 30 minutes for a table and you see people just sitting down laughing and having a good time with only a bowl of shaved ice in front of them.
VERDICT
Food 4.5/5
Service 4/5
Décor 3.5/5
Overall 4.5/5
