Reviews
First off, the boba is okay, though one thing to note is that the tapioca pearls tend to get a little slimy if not stirred frequently, so keep that in mind. The seafood ramen was a cool dish, but the noodles could have been cooked a bit more to elevate the texture. The sushi was definitely a standout—filling and tasty. The cucumber roll was spot-on, but the salmon roll didn’t quite match what I expected. It wasn’t bad, just different in a way that threw me off a little.
The vibe, though, is where this place really shines. If you’re into anime, you’ll definitely feel at home with the themed decor and atmosphere. It gives off a fun and lively energy, even if the restaurant still carries some of its IHOP roots in its outdated interior. Honestly, the old IHOP design is a bit noticeable, but it somehow adds to the charm and doesn’t detract from the overall experience.
What really stood out, though, was the customer service. The staff was wonderful—friendly, welcoming, and personal, making the entire dining experience feel much more special. They were attentive and made sure you felt taken care of throughout your visit.
Overall, I’d give it a solid 4.5/5. Not perfect, but definitely a great spot, especially for the Alton area. It has a lot of potential and is a fun place to check out, especially if you’re a fan of anime or looking for a unique dining experience.
EDIT: Just finished the Bento Box Chicken Teriyaki, and honestly, it was the best bento box I’ve ever had! The chicken was cooked perfectly, with just the right balance of flavors and a generous amount of teriyaki glaze. The rice was on point, cooked to perfection—fluffy and full of flavor. And the sushi? Super delicious! It paired so well with everything, making the whole meal a delightful experience. Highly recommend this bento box if you’re looking for a satisfying and flavorful meal!

I’ve been here twice and both times the food was fresh and seasoned spectacularly!
I got the hibachi steak, medium rare, and the steak was cooked perfectly. The veggies and rice that comes with it is delicious and they give you yum-yum sauce with it and let me tell you. Taste buds = blessed.
We also happened to get Crab Rangoon and it was so crunchy and yummy, the sauce with it being phenomenal.
The service was great, we were greeted at the door and the server we had was so polite and attentive. He truly made it a wonderful experience.
Food came out extremely fast despite being busy.
Did I mention how freshly everything was made?
The atmosphere of the restaurant is so calm and warm, definitely a welcoming area.
Overall my experience was great and if you’re hungry and looking for a good meal, this is your place!
Also for sushi lovers: I HIGHLY recommend the caterpillar roll. It was so good and the plating was adorable, making it look like an actual caterpillar.
