New Anime themed soft serve ice cream shop in Forest City. If you are an Anime fan, this is a must go destination! Lots of Anime products in the store! Clean area and tables for enjoying your selection of sweets! I chose a Tea Float with the red bean Boba (no pearls though only because I don't care for it) it has its own unique flavor. A little bit of a cinnamon taste is the only way to describe it. It was good!
Pretty cool place!! Haven't been anywhere like it in an outdoor mall. The food was fantastic and came out fast, fair priced, looked and tasted delicious. I got the steak ramen bowl with mushrooms and soy beans, two taiyaki cakes that were so crispy and tasted just like the ones in Japan. The little gift shop was nice as well and I picked up some nick knacks and some snacks for myself. Staff was very friendly as well and I caught one of them gifting a toddler with a balloon, it was so sweet. Only thing I would've loved to see to draw in additional customers may be the Carolina Manga Library. A place to sit and read comics while you eat snacks would've been a PERFECT hangout spot!! Excellent locale!! I cannot wait to come back and try the Poké Bowl and Onigiri!! 😍
I have not been to it so can’t speak for the location which is why I’m playing it safe with a 3 for atmosphere, but I’ve had it delivered a few times and have had no complaints with any of their food. My order has always been right.
My son and I recently visited their new location. They have so much to offer! I was very excited to find that they offer gluten-free and dairy-free options! It's so hard to find local places that offer that. The menu is unique and there are many options to choose from. My son absolutely loved his milkshake. They have some board games and a dart board you can play with too. The gift shop has all kinds of interesting items. Their prices are cheaper than Amazon. All of the employees are very friendly and helpful. Our family plans to visit as much as possible 😀
This place is in the old Sweet Frog building. They have an anime store with some pretty cool stuff for all ages. They also have a ramon bar, salad in a mason jar, desserts, bobba teas and more. I definitely recommend going! My daughter and I got the miso broth and my honey got the tonkotsu broth, both are good but us and our daughter preferred the tonkotsu broth. In the pictures you will see the Ramon bowl paper where you choose what all you want in your bowl.
Make sure you like every thing you order before you do cus I couldn't eat mine. Not there fault just not for me.... Also My Girlfriend loves there's Boba and drinks tho. They are amazing and have a lot of flavors. And there lil shop inside is cool. they have tons of foreign candt, drinks and items.
The staff is friendly, the establishment is run by Christians who also use some of the profits to fund mission trips. There is a little Asian shop connected to the bubble tea house. They have more than just traditional boba; they can turn it into a milkshake also.
Such a cute hidden gem here in Forest City🍜 We love stopping into Oishii for their Japanese street food. Everything we have tried has been fun and flavorful. We recently tried the new strawberry and Nutella taiyaki dessert and will absolutely be back just for that. It was so good! The owners are incredibly kind and welcoming, and you can feel the warmth as soon as you walk in. The shop is also filled with fun and unique Japanese items, which makes browsing part of the experience. We highly recommend this spot for both kids and adults. It is such a special addition to our local community.
We just so happened to come across this cool spot on a family road trip. The atmosphere was great. The kids loved it! Everything we ordered was delicious - Ramen, Boba tea, and shakes! We will definitely be back next time we go through NC. Oh, and the shop was neat too!
This place has amazing food that I have always been wanting to try and the staff and super nice and friendly. There is a nice lil shop to pick up some nic-naks too. Hands down my favorite place.
