I am a HUGE demon slayer fan and came here for the demon slayer collaboration. A little background on my first and probably last visit to this cafe. I came all the way from London to Tokyo. One of the activities I look forward to most is this cafe. The booking for this is difficult. I am not used to the lottery booking system, so to understand the translated rules on LivePocket is difficult. I didn't even know which ufotable tokyo cafe to book, the website is not clear ( I booked first floor one). The first obstacle was setting up an account in LivePocket. I was still in the UK when I set this up. I ended up having to contact my phone company to let me send an SMS to a Japanese number to verify my account. Second obstacle I faced was the need to book the Thursday before. I was at USJ that Thursday before. When the slots came live, I had to drop everything to buy a ticket fearing it would sold out, it was stressful. I ended up getting the seats and went to Nakano for this cafe. The cafe was ok, a little demon slayer themed things. When I ordered my food, I misunderstood the rules (only in Japanese) about what an additional order meant. I thought I could order food more than once but no, you can order drinks as many time as you like but food is only once. So I only ordered one dish and got one random placemat which wasn't the character I want exactly but ok. I quickly realised it's better to order multiple dishes to get more placemats but it was already too late. I blamed myself for not clarifying with the staff so I ended up pretty disappointed. Food was alright, nothing special nor decorated. The amount of merch there is alright ~ All in all, if you're flying a long way to Japan for this, not really worth it ~ I didn't regret going but I think winning the lottery seats hyped me up too much, I was setting myself up for disappointment. I spent more time figuring out how to book this cafe than strategising my time at USJ. I think it would be more fun if I could go for a few more times but unfortunately I could only go once. Not very tourist friendly, think it's more targeting locals. Staff is super nice though but communication in english is difficult. Food is very affordable. I am glad I came to visit but unfortunately it caused more heartbreak than joy in my case ~ I ended up shopping in nakano broadway to shop away my sadness.
View on GoogleIf there is a zero star, it should be so. The staff is down right rude. I search online for this cafe in order to give my daughter a surprise as she likes demon slayer. Look forward to be here and after all the trouble of navigating to the restaurant, when I enter in, the staff simply chase me out telling me to look at a poster that says reservation only. When I was typing in the website to make reservation, he came and told me no reservation for today and ask me to leave, I told him I came from oversea and may be my daughter can just take a look and he simply brush me off with a rude "NO" and shut the door on us. Simply rude and obnoxious whoever this male staff is.

View on GoogleCashier was awful and very blatantly xenophobic. He rolled his eyes at me asking questions and did not try to help me out at all. I could tell he wanted me gone and he made me very uncomfortable.
View on GoogleNot a café worth recommending, located in an unattractive and ugly neighborhood, rather shabby and simple inside. Definitely not worth a visit.
