    I am not one to leave negative reviews but this place πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ I came in on a Friday evening to get some work done over a cup of coffee. I entered to metal music being blasted ( that's fine no biggie here ) sat down, asked for a coffee and she said oh, we are out of coffee ... Coffeeshop that is out of coffee? Lmfao ok. Then she offered a canned boba ( ew) but I'll try it . She hands me a warm one from the shelf. So I asked her if I could have a glass of ice to chill it. She looks at me and says oh we don't have ice tonight either o.o it's a Friday night on a bar strip and a gas station is literally across the street. She told me to go get a Starbucks can from there if I want coffee ... She then proceeded to talk to her boy friend? I'm not sure but it was not an inviting energy so everyone kinda left besides her bf. Im fairly convinced she just didn't want to clean the coffee pot which is why she said no coffee, she just wanted the tips from serving canned beer. Terrible service, absolutely disgusting boba, and no more ice on a Friday night? Y'all are really trying to loose money huh ... Good luck. I decided to take my money elsewhere.

    Had an awesome time. Was wonderful to celebrate Tekken 8 launch surrounded by fellow players. Great venue set up( multiple monitors, pc set up so all controller and fight stick formats were able to be used, players of all skill levels were welcome,confortable seating, projected large screen of main fights and streams) well ventilated and ac set. Beyond some of the best sportsmanship ive seen in a fighting game scene. Good eats as well. Looking forward to coming back through 😊. Keep being awesome!

    Amazing place to not only play video games but to watch anime and eat some amazing food! The owner, bartenders, cooks and regulars are so nice and accommodating. The food is definitely one of the best reasons to stop in! The spam rice bowl is delicious!

    It was the music that caught me. Then, the games, then the televised entertainment. It's such a vibe here. The food was Amazing! I had the Rice Bowl with Poerrk Loin, Bok choy, Bean Sprouts, Corn, a Soft Boiled Egg, and their delectable, House made Sacue, made by Aslian the chef, wich was just chefs kiss. Oh and the Tozai Blossom of Peace Plum sake was the best I've ever had. Seriously, highly recommend. I was just walking by and it seems I'll be staying for a while. They host Gaming tournaments EVERYDAY. I hear it's quite a spectacular experience.

    Hands down my absolute favorite ramen in Jax! Came in with a friend for our birthdays earlier this month and I’ve been addicted since! We met Amy and she served us and made our food. I LOVE when Aly makes my ramen! She definitely makes it with LOTS of love! It’s PERFECT every time! Thanks girl! 🫢🏾🫢🏾🫢🏾

    The best late night food on king street. Definitely a unique atmosphere but the staff and service will always alleviate any apprehensions you may have.

    Great place to hang out and get your game on playing and competing in your favorite fighting games. Best part is that I can bring my kids with me.

    We got a "pc bang" in Jax! It's a fun place for gamers to chill. Some food and drinks near the place and at the place too. Huge love for the FGC there!!

    Vibe is great here, everyone is so cool. Isabella is the best bartender around and Aslan makes the best ramen. His bulgogi will have you in love.

    Great competive gaming place. Different options in food (rice bowls, ramen, sliders). They also have beer, wine, seltzers, warer, sodas and juice! Plenty of pc games to play as well. Fun and safe atmosphere and a great place that closes at 2am for late night fun even on weekdays!

    Stopped by at 0800 on a Thursday. Got some delicious breakfast tacos, discovered matcha and lavender taste how a tattoo shop smells (but it's good, I swear!), experienced very friendly barista and very cool aesthetic! 😎 neat place to just chill out. There are also great options available with alternatives for vegan and non-dairy diets

    Crazy hours 7pm - 2am most days. Check before you go. Food service doesn't start until 8pm. A variety of drinks like sake, plum wine, Japanese beer, seltzers, and a few others. You can play computer games and counsel. Tournaments weekly. Love it.

    Great food! The chicken sliders are delicious. Great atmosphere, friendly bartenders. If you are a fan of video games/anime come take a seat at the bar, watch anime, eat great food, and meet some people. You wont regret it.

    Fantastic food and service overall. I honestly still think about the rice and ramen bowls to this day. Both staff and patrons always have good vibes! This place hands down is growing the competitive scene in Jacksonville and if you've been on the fence on coming out, just do it! Everyone is friendly and excited to sit down and run sets with anyone.
