    grilled pork in curry ramen
    Kimberly P.

    We came in at 2230 and most of the items we wanted were sold out which is awesome coz that means business is doing well! We ordered a bunch of food: grilled pork in curry ramen, pork belly fried rice, miso soup, pork buns, yaki onigiri and panko shrimp donbori bowl. The curry was tasty and not salty. I finished the ramen and took home the remaining curry so I can eat it with rice at home . We'll definitely come back for the karaage chicken buns and skewers! Massive thanks for still serving us food despite us coming in late.

    We finally had a chance to stop by and try this place out. This is the cafe side where you can order food and next door is the bar and karaoke side where all the fun stuff takes place. We opted to stay at the Cafe side since we're having lunch. All orders are in to-go containers which is a bummer so presentation is out the window. Here's what we ordered: * Chicken Hibachi - meat was pale with no flavor. We like it seared which was lacking. * Pork Curry Bowl - little piece of overcooked meat with soupy curry which I thought was ramen broth. Never seen a clear-looking curry before. * Yakitori Chicken - more pale meat which tasted bland. Not grilled. * Pork Belly Bun - meat was a little tough, but ok. Food was disappointing. For the price they charge, food needs to be better.

    For the price, it was great! Quick good service and yummy food! I loved the karaage chicken buns, the sauce was phenomenal and the chicken had a great crunch to it!! Not as big of a fan of the curry rice. It was overly sweet, in my opinion, but adding soy sauce and siracha helped immensely!

    Shoyu Ramen and 2 Piece Yaki Onigiri

    Food was DELICIOUS !! but I did wish my onigiri was filled but now I know for next time. The place was empty when I went in so I sat down and watched a few episodes of some random anime lol but it was a fantastic experience and the paintings and funkos and figures were all very cool

    I had a Chance to Stop in and Try some of the Asian Influenced Bar Food Yesterday and Was very satisfied with not only the Prices But the Portion Sizes as well. The YAKITORI CHICKEN Skewers were a Great Starting Point with a tasty sauce that coated the chicken. $6 The KARAAGE CHICKEN Buns were Crunchy and I enjoyed the Aioli was creamy, but I wanted more of it to get the spicy flavor onto the chicken. $7 The PORK BELLY FRIED RICE Was simple, but so flavorful with the Pork Belly and perfectly cooked rice. I would order it again & add some chicken next time for extra protein . $10 This place should not be compared to your Traditional Ramen or Asian Restaurant because that is not what they are trying to accomplish. Because of the Karaoke Bar Next Door, they want to Compliment that experience with some Bar Foods with Asian Cuisine Elements to stick with the Anime Brand. Although the food is very flavorful and filling, if you stop In, Be sure to Think "Bar Food" but Asian and Not fine dining or full-on Asian Cuisine like other local restaurants, and let Shawn and his staff know that Big Rich Sent Ya.

    First time we went the café part was closed due to them getting a new flooring so we popped into the bar/karaoke area and grabbed a cocktail and Japanese soda. The cocktails were light and refreshing and the bartender was super knowledgeable and polite. We came back Saturday to try the café and were pleasantly surprised. The place was packed and we got the last table. It is a to go style café. Everything is already made to go but made fresh we ordered and then a staff member brought the meal to our table. Kind of like at a Panera everything was hot and flavorful, the fried rice left a little bit to be desired but was decent. The decor is over the top and awesome for any anime lover. Overall, we had a great time.

    Great find in Jacksonville for anime and Japanese food lovers in Orange Park. Menu was good, service was excellent. Ambiance was delightful! Both in the bar and the cafe. Beautifully themed eye candy on the walls, Pokémon, Naruto, One Piece, One Punch Man and more! Japanese Gashapon machines with amazing little Sanrio and Pokémon toys!! We had Hunter X Hunter playing on the big screen --What a treat to visit with the kids!

    "bacon", pork, egg
    Xin L.

    This is possibly the worst place I have been to in the Jacksonville area for food. When you walk in it smells like sewage. There were two other customers and they were grumpy looking and not eating so it was a bad sign. We waited for ten minutes just to get our order in at the counter and then we waited over an hour for this bacon, pork, egg bento and the bacon was all black char and the pork as well. my family ordered some taiyaki and croquettes and it never came out so we left but to their credit they refunded us for the food. multiple other groups waited for over two hours for stuff they ordered as well and the quality is subpar. the fruit was literally 1 strawberry and 5 blueberries and most of the food was burnt but the toast is not toasted. definitely not worth it for $13 and the wait. I don't know if their regular night time menu is better but the cook seems like they cant even make bacon so i don't know how it could be good. The menu is completely not what is shown here on yelp. none of the skewers were available and they said that is because it is mother's day. we were definitely fooled by the reviews here. very disappointing. i will add half a star for refunding our food costs.

    The food was amazing and the staff was so kind! The decor is so cute! Super fun unique place to go! I will definitely be coming back with more of my friends!!!!

    Luxe Picnics by Les is such a cute and aesthetic shop. What they're known for is their charcuterie…read moreboards, and they're phenomenal. Everything is incredibly fresh, each box is fully customizable, and they're designed beautifully right on the spot. Their sandwiches are also to die for- hands down the best in town and easily my favorite. I've had almost all of them and still can't decide which one is my favorite. The shop itself is always spotless, and everyone is so friendly, welcoming, and happy to accommodate different dietary needs. They also always have specials and new menu items that change with the seasons, which makes every visit feel exciting and unique. There's even a little market in the front that sells dry goods, which is such a fun touch. It's truly one of those places you can't help but keep coming back to!

    We got two gift cards for Luxe from local top Realtor Colleen Gerke. It said take your pick of…read more"Bocadillo" sandwiches. We had: the Figgy Piggy", which is on a fresh, toasted baguette, contains deli-grade prosciutto, garlic olive oil, sun-dried tomatoes, goat cheese. greens and more. We also had a "Piggy Pear", of similar construction, but instead substitutes tender ham, date & pear preserves. It was delicious, very tasty, warm and so plentiful that we each took half of ours home. The regular price is a very reasonable $11. Most people will not walk away hungry after one of these. They have a whole selection of sandwiches, croissant and waffle-based concoctions, drinks, including coffees. It appears that their biggest feature is picnic baskets, consisting of a wide array of goodies ranging from $18-59 (for four people). They also do catering, so we left with a menu and business card. The owners have caterers for many years and jokingly (?) said they had to open this place to keep their daughter in Boston College. One thing we have noticed living and traveling to many places is that most areas have a fairly small percentage of good and reasonably priced restaurants. This one made it to our list.

    My girl friend and I came here after we left the beach and we left stuffed and totally satisfied…read more We were seated very fast. It was a week night and it had quite a few people in the restaurant. We ended up having a private show, I say that because we were the only ones seated at our table so the chef catered to us directly. Talk about VIP treatment #spoiled I loved it!!! My meal was the chicken and steak hibachi while my friend had the same with the addition of shrimp. The meal was yummy and so was the salad with the dressing. Fast service, clean establishment, attentive chef, great food all to me equaled superb customer service! Clone this experience every time for me please.

    We went as a group of 10 to celebrate a 10th birthday, and ordered one kids meal, one sushi roll…read moreand mostly steak and shrimp combinations. Service was friendly, and the basics were basic and fine. But our sushi roll (ordered as an appetizer) didn't come out until halfway through our meal and it was more rice than anything else, to the point that all other flavors were covered by rice. Highly disappointing. The chef was fine, but didn't even comment on the child's birthday. Neither did the server, but did at least put a candle in the fried ice cream that I ordered (and paid for of course) that I asked for when she was starting to ask about the check. The check was to be split 3 ways and was done wrong, and I just paid the extra on mine instead of dealing with it. The bathrooms were filthy. We used to go here several times a year, and it really seems to have gone downhill.
