Inspired by the popular manga series Naruto, Ichiraku’s Bistro is a charming anime-themed cafe that brings Pan-Asian cuisine and our beloved anime characters in one spot.
Located in Baner, Ichiraku’s Bistro aims to transport you to the whimsical world of comics with its eclectic decor and food. Divided into three sections: indoor, alfresco, and a floor seating option for those who like to dine in a traditional Japanese style. Although small, the cosy spot creates a perfect ambience to relax, chat with friends, or indulge in solitude while enjoying a delicious meal.
As you wait for your food to arrive, take a moment to admire the intricately designed anime-themed decor. The walls are adorned with framed anime artwork, while collectables and figurines are carefully placed on shelves, adding to the ambience. To further enhance the experience, the cafe has a PS4 corner for games and screens popular anime episodes on large TVs, creating a cosy corner where you can catch up on your favourite shows or discover new ones. The staff, who are passionate about anime themselves, are always ready to engage in conversations about the series or recommend the latest must-watch anime titles.
The short and simple menu leaves no room for confusion. For those looking for a good ramen bowl, the cafe serves it in many different flavours: Fire Nation Bowl created with Malaysian spices, Earth Kingdom Bowl inspired by flavours of Thailand and Air Nomads Bowl made in Vietnamese style. Of course, there is a classic ramen bowl too. If you're looking for something beyond ramen, try the Waku Waku Wings coated with a special pink sauce and served on a bed of fries. The Luffy's Summer Rolls, filled with fried chicken and veggies, are equally delicious. Wash it down with an iced coffee or tea.
Whether you're a die-hard anime fan or simply curious about exploring a new culinary adventure, Ichiraku's Bistro promises a fun experience.
