Well, I tried this place this weekend visiting from California and I have to say it was a fun and delicious experience. I've seen the review of how it is a bit of a gimmick but that's what makes it unique and fun! If you are not comfortable with this scene it's not your place, but I love anime and Japanese food so it works for me. I tried the Shoyu ramen, takoyaki and tempura ice cream for dessert. Everything was great! The takoyaki was lighter then what I was used to but the flavor was all there. The waitresses were dressed in cosplay and were very friendly. They constantly kept us up with the status of our order and were easy to talk to, not to mention really cute. When I come back to visit I would definitely bring my friends to this place. \n\nOverall: Great variety in the menu, creative item names, fun theme, and great employees. Come for the atmosphere and great food. If cosplay and anime is not your thing, try another place but if you can look past that and just be openminded, then try the place out! They'll make you feel very welcomed.
