Always consistent even if you order take out. We frequent this establishment. My favorite dish is the Rolled Pok Belly with Pheasant Rice and an egg broken over the rice and mixed in.

Three of us had dinner on a week night. They have a reputation for stunning cocktails and they exceeded expectations. Food presentation is beautiful. We were seated immediately and the staff was excellent at explaining and making recommendations. What sets this restaurant apart are interesting dishes that are perfectly executed. The quality of the food was excellent. The flavor contrasts And blending really hit the mark. The seating both inside and out is charming and welcoming. I found the actual temperature to be on the cold side so bring a sweater. We paid $60 per person.

A hidden gem in San Leandro. A cute restaurant with amazing food! Prices are reasonable, taking into account the creativity and freshness of their food. They sat us even though we arrived the minute they were closing to prep for dinner time.

My family and I went here on a Sunday, so we got the weekend menu. My favorites among appetizers and entrees we ordered are: Grilled Galangal pork skewer, Pork Belly with peasant rice, Rice Vermicelli bowl, Grilled Chipolata. They have unique blend of spices and seasoning. Best of all, they are a fusion of different tastes from different countries… It satisfies your taste buds without making your stomach feel too full/ heavy… that’s what I like… Cory, our server, as well as the other servers are all nice and friendly. The place has a relaxing atmosphere… they have big clear glass windows at the front, so the place gets lit by natural lighting from outside… the place is also decorated with beautiful plants… they also have patio at the front… I give 5 stars for this restaurant… Thank you Top Hatters 😊

The food here is so impressive! This quiet neighborhood farm to table is San Leandro’s hidden gem. The cuisine focuses on fresh, hand harvested produce from a local farm, so dishes are ever changing with the seasons. There is a lot of Vietnamese influence going on.

Recently tried Top Hatters and was impressed with the food and service. We came for lunch on a sunny day, so enjoying that outside on their patio was excellent. Cocktails were creative and visually appealing, but it was really the food that impressed me. We tried the grilled oysters, donuts, vermicelli bowl, dumplings... really enjoyed the buttery finish on the oysters and would recommend getting pork with the vermicelli bowl. Those savory, and smokey flavors really added to the dishes. The dumplings were pretty great though the strong sausage-esque ground pork eliminated some of the more subtle flavors in the broth and spices. I also thought that the donuts could do with a bit more savory notes, such as though they have bacon I couldn't pick up the taste in each bite. Perhaps a nice sauce to pair alongside them would have been great. Also, the service was excellent, checking in and ensuring the food was to our liking and our drinks were full. Thanks had a great meal here.

There’s a little bit of magic tucked into downtown San Leandro and it goes by the charming name Top Hatters. Every visit feels like slipping into a favorite story: relaxed, welcoming, and just a touch whimsical. The moment you walk in you’re greeted by warm lighting, upbeat chatter, and a friendly tone—it’s the kind of place where you immediately sink into your seat and let the day slow down.

Just solid food all around! A pleasant surprise in San Leandro. The food is phenomenally curated. To me it's sort of wine bar-ish food with Asian inspired ingredients but with western technique. We ordered the tissue bread, halibut tartare, oxtail, mushroom course, beets and rice cakes. The rice cakes were my favorite. Service was great. Savan was really helpful. Indoor outdoor space with nice bar seating. Would most definitely come back.

Wow, wow, wow! This place is amazing! We had 6 dishes and every one of them were superb. The seasonings were perfect, the ingredients combinations were creative and the plating was picture perfect. The service is top notch. The ambience is warm, eclectic, modern and inviting. Seating options both inside and out. Definitely worth a drive. You won’t be disappointed!
