Pretty good selection of various Asian favs. Friendly service and cool vibe with anime theme.
Food was fresh albeit a bit salty. Taste was not bad. Will have to return to try their hot pot.
*Veggie dumplings was awesome!
*Beef rice bowl was quite saucy and salty.
*Chicken karaage was mix of popcorn chicken and chicken nugget … not quite karaage
*Chicken rice bowl see line above
中規中矩, 食物如果不那麼咸會好些。加油

I ordered the Oyako Don for takeout online, expecting to receive what is pictured in the menu option that I’ve included. I returned home to find that what I really got was gyudon with chicken, when I called the restaurant to ask about the mixup, I was informed that the picture is wrong, and this has been their oyako don for “two years”. Upon stating that I didn’t want this and would like a refund, he said he’d refund me if I raced across town before they closed to return the food. It makes sense that I never see anyone eating inside when I pickup.

I recently tried the new Asian restaurant and it exceeded my expectations! The diverse menu, featuring ramen, sushi tacos and burritos, dumplings, boba tea, and more, offers a delightful variety. Ordering and waiting at your table is convenient, eliminating the need for a waiter. The fair prices and generous portions make it a great value. The food arrived quickly, and was delicious! The restaurant’s clean and Naruto/Anime-themed decor added a unique touch. The friendly staff contributed to a positive experience. We’ll be back to explore more of their offerings!

I loved the cute anime things on the wall, after we got in there was minimal people, making find seating a whole lot easier. The person serving us was super nice and got us water even though u were supposed to get ur drink from the water dispenser. The food was ok, the chicken a bit hard to chew but the soup and ramen overall really good.

The most adorable anime-themed restaurant in the Champaign-Urbana area! I had a great time eating here today. I love all of the decor, and I appreciate how clean the restaurant is. I also really like how large the menu is — from ramen to sushi tacos and burritos to poke and other unique entrees, this menu has something for everyone!
To start, we had spicy edamame. It was hot, spicy, and very savory! It wasn’t too salty, and we really enjoyed the flavor.
For my lunch, I got a sushi burrito with tuna, crab, and shrimp tempura, and it was so good! It was really flavorful and tasted better than normal sushi I’ve had. I love the wasabi sauce inside it.
My partner had tonkatsu ramen (he asked to make it spicy), and to us, it is probably the best ramen in the area. It came with a ton of meat that was very tender! The noodles were also a great consistency, and it wasn’t too expensive.
My favorite part was the boba! We got a taro smoothie with bubble tea pearls and custard. It was so good! To me, it’s probably some of the best boba on campus, especially given how big the portion is (it was overflowing when we got it!).
Overall, I really love this restaurant! I think we will be regular customers from now on. I am excited to taste more of the menu including the sushi tacos!

We tried the all-you-can-eat hotpot at this place. Totally worth it! Such a fun and flavorful experience!

I came from Bloomington looking for something a little different than I can get there and this was definitely that.
First thing you get in the atmosphere which is very fun for anime fans.
Food:
Veg gyoza was the shining star of the meal. 10/10. Veg yaki udon also very good though it tasted exactly like American Chinese lo mein. The taco was a cool concept and very delicious though a little difficult to eat. I got the sushi burrito and I see it’s appeal and I enjoyed mine, but would try the soy wrap next time because I’m not a bing nori fan and it was obviously prominent in this (that’s on me). Another shining star was the drinks. I loved that I could get milk tea with a milk alternative for the brown sugar boba (boba was PERFECT texture) and the peach milk jasmine tea was so refreshing and properly sweetened.
Price: Overall, everything was pretty fairly priced. We got so much here we took it home for second meals.
Customer service was awesome. Everyone was very kind.
Bathrooms were straight up savage. I generally only rate on food so that didn’t affect them but it should be noted. Parking was awesome especially considering how bad it is in that area.
Overall, we enjoyed ourselves. It was worth the drive and experience and I’d come back for the drinks alone.

It was great food, we ordered the sushi burrito and curry fried chicken cutlet, and crab Rangoon as appetizer. They all tasted amazing, prices are fair, and food comes out quickly. We’ll visit again soon!

Finally an awesome ramen joint that you don’t have to fight green st parking and traffic. I had the spicy salmon poke bowl and the tonkotsu steak ramen. Both portion sizes were huge and fish and veggies were all fresh. Ample seating and parking. Would reccomend to others and will come again.
