Went here for a late lunch on a Saturday when it wasn't super busy and had a great experience. Food was delivered quickly and presented very nicely, water was refilled very frequently, it wasn't too difficult to spend some time taking some fun photos, and the payment process was easy as well. As we left close to 3:00, it was definitely getting much busier inside, though people were still seated fairly quickly.
Much of the experience of visiting this spot is to experience the One Piece decorations and this restaurant fulfills that need wonderfully. There's lots of life sized statues throughout with characters such as Luffy, Sanji, Chopper, and Zoro - Wanted posters of probably every main character, pirate flags, resin statues, and more. This also goes along with the themed menu which has lots of fun maki rolls available. Definitely 5 stars, if the aim is to get immersed into a One Piece atmosphere for a restaurant that is decorated wall to wall.
The food here is also one of the better ones I've had at this price point in the area, 32.99 for AYCE dinner at the time of this writing. The appetizer selection was quite expansive, with more unique options such as sashimi salad, oyster, baked mussel, fried scallop, takoyaki, and more. The special rolls are probably the reason why most diners come here, for their above average presentation, and surprisingly good flavor. Fortunately, the finished product actually looks similar to the picture on the menu and I really liked the use of fresh ingredients over relying on sauce to differentiate the different rolls. At many AYCE restaurants, there's only a very minor difference between many of their rolls and they are excessively sauced. I found the sauce level to be good overall on the rolls, and enjoyed having items such as fresh cilantro, mango, and jalapenos in some of the rolls.
Fish quality was pretty good and overall served in fairly thick slices. The raid roll was one of my favorites since it allowed me to try the quality of the fish without extra sauce. The mero mero rull was fun, being in a heart shape -- but the overall mix of spicy elements in the mayo and soy pepper, mixed with some avocado for creaminess and shrimp tempura for crunch created a fairly addictive bite. The all blue roll looks a bit funny, and is topped with a considerable amount of imitation crab meat with both salmon and tuna that's tied together with a blue mayo sauce. It's not particularly memorable for flavor, but does create quite a fun picture. The monster trio roll was one of my favorite with shrimp tempura and tempura - but the wasabi sauce that's added to the spicy mayo and eel sauce actually elevated this dish a bit (which wasn't too spicy). The going merry roll, despite looking quite spicy with the jalapeno is more refreshing of a roll. The cilantro adds a good hebiness while the ponzu sauce (citrus soy) works surprisingly well with the tuna. For most people, the sunny roll will probably be their favorite, with the tested formula of mixing shrimp tempura, cucumber, avocado, and eel sauce together. The fisher tiger roll is also another more fun roll that I enjoyed quite a bit. The mango flavor is light but noticeable, which work well with the white fish and salmon. It's refreshing and quite a different flavor profile.
Overall, definitely a must visit spot for any one piece fan to get some fun pictures for social media. But the food here is actually quite good as well and the menu is pretty expansive, so this is definitely a great place to take friends and family. read more
