Nakama Anime Cafe

Literally this place was so fire. The theme was on point. I was so shocked that they had peak playing on the TV, so yk I was watching ball while eating. The staff were super sweet and nice like genuinely actual sweethearts. The food was amazing too like just banger after banger. I loved this experience !

I had an amazing time with my husband here! The staff was super friendly, very helpful and the food was absolutely delicious. We went to the bar at the cafe and the gaming area and we loved so much of it! The art was amazing. The merchandise was awesome and everyone was so helpful and such a great time, will definitely go again!

I originally tried this cafe when I moved to Jacksonville last April. I had the ramen and had it doordashed. I wasn't a big fan of it at the time when it was delivered but when giving it a try in person, my whole opinion of it changed. When walking in, it can be a bit overwhelming looking at the many food options they may have but the staff was patient, eager to answer any questions we had, and and super friendly! Upon reading reviews before visiting in person, I was weary because a lot of reviews mentioned long wait times and the food not being too good for the value but I completely disagree! If you don't want to visit for just the food I highly suggest at least paying a visit for the experience! Stop by, catch a drink, and watch some anime. Amazing local spot 💜

Visited from Clinton, TN. We heard about this place from the owners dad, who also owns Asia Cafe in Powell, TN and Knoxville, TN. He also owns Asia Cafe coffee. Everything here was delicious. Had the seared takayaki, house curry ramen, takayaki, pork buns, and luffys dinner chicken l, steak, and shrimp. Everything was full of flavor. The curry was nice and surprisingly sweet and a bit spicy, which was perfect! The only issue is that the rice with hibachi was cold, and the noodles in the ramen were all stuck together. Also, the water that is available for free is cold, but it is city water straight from the tap. Filter would be nice. 😉

This place is a nerdy dream come true. The walls are covered in anime themed art (food wars, very appropriate). The walk to the bathroom is an artistic experience in itself. There are some cute Japanese snacks for purchase up front. We took our kids and they loved the streaming anime, yuyu hakusho was on. The food isnt too expensive and its cafe style. We ordered a good sampling of the menu. The highlights were the spring rolls, edamame, & house onigiri. The takoyaki was pretty good but chewy. The pork belly buns were really chewy, it was difficult to bite through. But the buns and sauce were on point. Next time ill try tofu. The dishes were also not very hot. The counter person was polite, helpful, and genuinely enjoyed talking about anime. We will be back. We also stopped into the bar ne
