Such a fun experience to be had if you are a One Piece fan! I was here in town on business and my bosses had come to this café before so they wanted to take me for a late lunch one day. The line no matter when we came was absolutely long, it was out the door, and unfortunately, this establishment does not have a whole lot of seating on the inside, so even when you finally do make it inside and make your order, you may not even have a place to sit. I wasnt upset by this, mostly because this is new to the US and I know anime is still becoming somewhat mainstream in the general public versus anime fans circles So to even have this at all, I was happy to partake.
The food here is absolutely delicious, I got the Sanji's seafood fried rice, and it was so good. It was honestly very filling and I easily could've split that with my husband if he had gone as well, and still split one of the cakes that we had got.
I tried a bite of the beef skewers, and they were very juicy, very tender and absolutely delicious.
The big moms wedding favor cake was so sweet. It was so full of sugar that I honestly could not finish the whole thing at the time, even though it wasn't very big. I ate half then and then in my hotel room later on that day, I was able to finish the other half and it was still really good even without having been refrigerated.
The ambience is one piece, everything is one piece from the decor on the walls, to the walls themselves, to the display cases with the one piece merch, to the merch that you can buy at the counter before ordering. I think the only thing that was missing was a Luffy statue that you could pose and take photos with honestly, that would have been the icing on the cake so to speak.
The seating is very very limited, I believe they only have like a handful of booths to sit at, and then an even smaller selection of standing tables that you can eat or drink at. I really do wish this place was a little bit larger because they do have this gorgeous display wall where you can take photos of you with the characters from the thousand sunny crew, But it's so close to the standing tables that you really can't get like a good group chat or anything like that. It definitely needs to be more up close and personal. By contrast, the logo wall was a decent distance away from the standing table so you could get a better shot with that with a larger group.
The staff was fast, efficient, and friendly. It's really nice to see a restaurant run by anime fans themselves.
My experience here was really fun, and I would absolutely come again, maybe next time I won't have to wait so long in a line, but honestly, having tasted the quality of food, I wouldn't mind that as much anymore
