Editor’s Note

Last updated 30 May 2026

Our take: Aniplus Cafe operates primarily as a themed pop-up, with its menu and decor frequently changing to align with various anime collaborations.

This approach means the food quality can be inconsistent, often described as 'average at best' for mains like the $19 curry rice or $20 dim sum sets.

While some find the curry 'pretty good,' others report issues like cold rice balls, lukewarm udon, and poorly presented dishes that don't match advertised photos.

The visual appeal, including character-centric menu items and small presentation touches, is a key draw for fans.

Service experiences vary widely; some report 'really great' staff who are helpful with issues like stuck gachapon tokens, while others describe 'neglectful' and 'rude' interactions, with staff ignoring customers for extended periods.

The cafe's primary appeal lies in its immersive decor and exclusive merchandise, which often requires pre-ordering with long lead times.

Free coasters and character cards are offered with certain purchases.

We think it's best for dedicated anime fans looking for the themed experience and merchandise, rather than a high-quality dining experience.

Skip the peak lunch rush; the cafe is less crowded before noon.
