Hyperlocal Tokyo

I've been here twice. It's quite difficult to make a reservation, but it's a very enjoyable space. The cost per person can vary greatly depending on whether you buy the same dishes and drinks served in the restaurant, and how much merchandise you buy at the time of reservation or in the store. The menu prices are generally high, but I think they are appropriate considering the branding. The tables are not partitioned and can be used for both two people and groups, but the counter seats are partitioned with acrylic panels decorated with Pikachu illustrations, making it difficult to have conversations or take photos of food when going with multiple people. The counter seats are good seats because you can see Pokémon figures right in front of you and watch Pikachu dance up close, so it would be even better if they could remove the acrylic panels. During Pikachu's dance, food and drinks are not served, and taking photos while standing up is prohibited. At other times, you can take photos freely inside the restaurant, and there are spots where you can take photos with large Pikachu. There are small stuffed animals hidden in various places, making it fun just to take photos. The amount of food varies depending on what you order. The curry is sweet and a bit small, the Snorlax plate is enough to fill even an adult woman, and the limited-time Pamo omelet is so much that it's hard to eat. If you want to enjoy dessert and drinks, you may need to be careful about how much you order. The taste is not bad at all, but it's not particularly delicious, and it's not served piping hot. But it's very cute, so I think Pokémon fans will be satisfied. All the staff were smiling and kind, and I had a great time. Thank you.

The atmosphere was fantastic. It was a space that Pokémon fans would absolutely love. There were tons of photo spots, and to top it off, Pokémon even appeared! Seeing Pikachu dancing was so heartwarming. However, even though it's also a cafe, the food was honestly not that great. Taste - It was just average. Not bad, but not delicious either. I just ate it to fill my stomach. Appearance - They shaped the food like Pokémon and used Pokémon plates, so it was very cute. However, it lacked a bit of appeal as food... The rice looked dry and didn't seem appetizing. Quantity - Overall, it was small. You could say it was health-conscious, but it didn't feel like enough for an adult to be full. It felt like it was geared towards petite women. Price - It was expensive. It was expensive for the quantity and taste. Special menus cost over 3000 yen. Pikachu curry and Snorlax fried rice were around 3000 yen. Apple juice, cola, and other soft drinks were all around 700 yen, which is basically overpriced. (I think it includes the cost of the Pokémon performance.) Kids' menus were around 1500 yen, but the quantity felt like it was for a 3-year-old. Service - It was average. Even with a reservation, you have to wait in line to enter. You can buy merchandise at the checkout, and I bought a plush toy there. The register area was a bit dirty, and the staff casually placed the plush toy on the counter... It got dirty there... Overall, if you're a Pokémon fan, you should go at least once. The atmosphere is the best part. Don't expect too much from the food. It felt like food for taking pictures.

As someone who wasn't familiar with the Pokémon characters or brand, this was a purely objective review. I felt like I was invited to a peaceful and joyful space where Pokémon fans could enjoy themselves. The menu wasn't extensive, and the prices reflected the brand premium, but the food was standard quality. I think they're providing exactly what their customers are looking for. I did take into account the difficulty of making reservations when evaluating the service, but overall, I had a good time.

This cafe is a must-visit for any Pokemon fan. (However, for those not familiar with Pokemon, it might be considered expensive, with average food and difficult reservations.) Reservations can be hard to get during long breaks like summer vacation, but on weekdays in the evening, you can usually get one if you know when to look. Pika-sama (Pikachu) dances and interacts with guests. It's a place to enjoy as entertainment, whether you're a Pokemon fan, with friends, or with children. It's located next to the Pokemon Center, so you can enjoy browsing and shopping for merchandise after your visit.

I went with my 6-year-old son. Reservations are the biggest hurdle, but you might be able to get in if you wait even on the day. If you make a reservation in advance, you can also purchase coasters. The food is a bit pricey, but the design is well done and I think the satisfaction level is high. There is a waiting time after ordering food, so you can enjoy taking pictures during that time. There is a character show about an hour after entering, so children can enjoy that too.
