Happy News: First Official U.S. One-Piece Café in Las Vegas

Big News for LA One Piece Fans: You will get the chance to visit the First Official U.S. One-Piece Café in Las Vegas.

Many cafés in Japan are styled around video games, anime series, and other related fandoms. While some of these are short-lived pop-ups, others have grown into well-known restaurants. There are several places where fans of One Piece, one of the most watched anime series in Japan, may eat food inspired by the show.

Some are located inside theme parks, such as Sanji’s Restaurant at Universal Studios Japan, while others are no longer open, like the Mugiwara Cafe at the now-closed One Piece Tokyo Tower. There was once a real Baratie that was designed to resemble the restaurant ship that sailed the seas and employed Sanji. But up until now, you would have been required to travel to Japan in each of these situations!

First Official U.S. Café (One-Piece Cafe)

Greatness LLC announced on Friday that it is opening the first official One Piece Café in the United States in Las Vegas, Nevada, on May 11. This announcement comes in response to the growing popularity of the One Piece brand, which has been fueled by the excitement created by Eiichiro Oda’s ongoing series and Netflix’s live-action adaptation of the series.

Dishes:

There are also dishes named after other characters, like Zoro’s Onigiri (named after one of his trademark moves and also the Japanese word for “rice balls”), Banban’s Pepper & Egg Fried Rice (a specialty from a friend of Sanij’s mentor Zeff), and Tajio’s Beef Curry (a dish served by an aspiring Marines chef that the crew met after Alabasta). Chopper’s Hat Cake is based on the beloved reindeer doctor’s iconic hat.

Drinks:

What is a café without them? The One-Piece Café serves a variety of drinks, such as the carefully prepared Mikan Tangerine Slushy by Nami, the All Blue Mocktail, which Sanji should hopefully be able to locate, Franky’s Coke-a-Cola Ice Cream Float, which is sure to be a great choice, and Pumpkin Juice, which is probably what Straw Hat musician Brook would drink if he were not a skeleton. HOHOHOHOHOHOHO!

Special

The official website of the One-Piece Café has the complete menu available. Additionally, the café will sell unique items like hats, sweaters, and t-shirts. Luffy and Zoro will make cameo appearances during the grand launch on May 11 at 11:00 a.m., along with giveaways.

Toei Animation, the animation studio behind One Piece, and restaurateur Andy Nguyen of Greatness LLC collaborated on the new café. Based on Sonic the Hedgehog, Greatness LLC also developed the Sonic Speed Cafe.
