Nakama Anime Cafe 1540 Wells Road, Orange Park, FL 32073

"Okay so the place looks amazing and I was very excited to see what was going on. I ordered the umami curry ramen which had fresh ingredients for sure but it was missing that WOW factor that I love to experience while trying new ramen places. The portion was disappointing for 13$. I love a good brothy ramen and this had very little broth. I feel like if you aren't sweating over your bowl of ramen it just doesnt feel right. I got the Onigiri also, the rice was fresh but I feel like a meat filled center or some type of filling on the inside would of kicked it up a notch. Idk if that was an option but thats on me for not asking. I got the pork belly buns I really enjoyed. It was fresh and had nice flavors. I know pork belly is usually fatty but I wish I had a leaner cut, also if it was torched a little to give it that crispiness and crunch I love so much. My favorite part of my meal was the Takoyaki. The sauce on top was amazing! Great job on that and the filling was perfect. My only complain is the octopus was a little rubbery. I read some of the reviews already and I'm pretty sure this restaurant is fairly new. I have faith that this establishment will improve it just takes time. "

"Ordered Shoyu Ramen from here, Shumai and Yakitori chicken. Yakitori Chicken was great tasting, the Shumai was also what I expected. But the ramen wasn’t up to par. Broth was salty, portion size was super small, and the pork belly was mostly chewy slices of fat. Also we didn’t receive our egg. Sadly didn’t hold a candle to Karai ramen on beach."

"The atmosphere is incredible here. You can order your food from the cafe, then walk over to the bar and lounge to relax and they'll bring you over your food. I love the the look of the place, with manga panels and fan made art decorating the walls, to custom made tables with engraved title cards and art from popular anime. On top of all that, the service is great and the food and drink is better. Plus if you're interested they have games available for you to play, merchandise to buy, and plenty of cool events they hold weekly, from video game tournaments to cosplay events. This place is amazing and I would definitely come again."

"Tried it, Loved it and will be back!!! The chef is amazing, very informative and just an all around cool guy! @Nakama Anime Cafe"

"An absolutely amazing place to go to even on a hot summer day. The food was absolutely fantastic, and served quickly might I add. And the customer service was top tier, and the atmosphere was just as awesome. I will definitely be coming back"
