On the way to the Animaid Café we were super excited! We had planned to dress up in Ouran Cosplay with our matching yellow dresses! Even thought we knew this was their first ever event we had high hopes for this event and were just so excited for this! Also see Kawaiiclare’s Review here and Fancy India’s review here.

We arrived in style in my brother’s new Sebring Convertible. As you can see on KawaiiClare’s crazy wind blown hair!

Now i do have a few complaints, the moment we pulled up and realized it was taking place inside of a trailer we had a bad taste in our mouths. Also once we saw that the venue was so small and that seating was only set up for groups of two we were left in a shock of where were we going to sit!

Sitting around waiting for them to at least two tables next to each other so we could at least kind of sit close to each other. We waited a good hour for them to find a seat. Not at all acceptable since they kept sitting other people. They should have waited to seat other people and seated us since not only did we purchase advance tickets and were “guaranteed seating” we were a larger group of 4.

The Banner says Welcome Home Goshujin-sama. Yet i didn’t hear it inside not even once. I tuly expected them to call us Goshujin-sama while there.

They did do a few dances, here they did the Hare Hare Yukai, which hey called “the Haruhi Dance” Honestly why not just say Hare Hare Yukai? Sounds at least much more professional to me.

Giving my brother the evil eye while looking at the menu. Sorry if many of the pictures are badly focused, my brother still doesn’t know how to properly handle my camera…

Maybe I should take this flowerpot home with me?

Even though we requested a male host on our advance ticket we got a female maid. While she was nice she wasn’t a great waitress and didn’t know what was on their menu. But she was very polite with us and that made up for it. She had such a great attitude about the whole setup that it made up for.

KawaiiClare ordered the Okonomiyaki, she said it wasn’t that great.

Fancy India and myself got the Gyoza, also not that great and really felt much more like an appetizer and not a entrée.

We left the moment we finished eating since we were very disappointed. We did give them some advice and let them know what we felt about the café. While it was a nice idea it was badly organized and i do have to give credit where credit is due. The maids and hosts were all very nice and quite cheery and they did the best they could but it was just wasn’t really all that great. Too many things left a sour taste in out mouth and we were so disappointed in it. Hopefully if they do it again they try and make the menu a little better and maybe not try and have only Asian type food. While they want to keep with the anime theme it would have been better if they instead made it more café style food. Also if they promise things to the advance ticket purchasers then follow through on your promises. We were promised to sit with our selected host, received and autographed picture of them and to not have to wait for our seats. But instead we sat with someone we did not choose, we did not receive any picture and we waited for almost over and hour to sit and eat. Also they should consider that people will come with their friends and that not everyone will come in groups of 1 or 2. While round tables are nice but it would have been better to have square tables to be able to put them together and have space for groups. Last i’d also look for a new venue. Having it in a trailer park looked absolutely terrible. Hopefully they fix some of these issues and maybe we might go again, but for now we doubt we’ll be willing to shell out $20 for mediocre food and bad entertainment.
