Asayoru Maid Cafe

Forced gratutity is illegal in california.

Tourist trappy. Not a place you want to go regularly but maybe once if you just want to see what its about. Was clean and they try but the overprice food and maids that constantly try to push you into buying photos and paying tips really turn me off here. I dont leave reviews often but none of us had a good time unfortunately.

$16 + $2 tax and $3 forced tip for one drink

Undercooked and was not good at all. Very overpriced, paid $45 for mediocre service and employee who don't seem to want to be there.

I LOVED my time at Asayoru Maid Cafe!! I visited during my vacation in July 2025 since I live out of town and went during the Yoru shift! The maids are all lovely and kind from the moment they greet you and until you leave. I was taken care of by Maid Ai and she is very sweet and will teach you about the menu and the different options you have I highly recommend her if she is there during your visit! Along side your food you can also get a Polaroid with drawings done with the maids as well as a performance if you order one. Different maids might have some unique songs that others don't and you'll receive a binder to see what songs are available! If you want a song that will fill the cafe with energy I would recommend Saijoukyuu no Moe Moe Kyun! The performance is so lively and all the regulars bring a lot of energy with their chants!! If it's really busy the performance and Polaroid might get delayed as the maids get around to help every customer but it will be worth the wait if you have time and if you ask them for the Polaroid they will try to get to it right away. They have food options for everyone so whoever you bring can enjoy. Before visiting please read the rules on their website and you can also see the Menu and other information on the website too. Overall it's a really good time and I cannot wait until I can go back. Thank you Maid Ai, Maid Sakurin, and Maid Riri for taking care of me and my friends when I visited. I hope I can see you all again soon!

We went to the cafe just to try it out since it was always an interesting idea and we weren’t disappointed. I was incredibly nervous but the staff were so fun and lively. You are greeted and served all in character and they made it fun to be involved with the meal. The place was cute and on theme. The only reason for the 4* on atmosphere was because it kinda felt a bit hastily put together. The furniture was pretty cheap and they use a lot of facade pieces. I feel like it’s super easy to look past and the experience overall was 5* hands down.

I saw a male employee with black hair and dude. He was so cool and friendly. You could see that he cares about his co-workers and he's respectful towards them. We love a man who does that

Asayoru is a magical place! Delicious food and drinks that are so cute and perfect for photos! Every maid is attentive and kind and the decor really makes you feel like you’re in an Akihabara cafe in Japan! A must go place for any anime fan, but it’s a place everyone will love! Definitely make a trip here for a unique and special experience.

I've been a fan of this cafe for four years on social media back when they only did pop ups up till their crowd funding campaign at the first location allll the way to the new location. I've never been able to visit due to living in another state but now I'm here for anime expo 2025 and was extremely excited to attend the first ever brick and mortar maid cafe in America!

Let's start with the positives:
- They were very understanding with us arriving 25 mins later than our set reservation time due to traffic and even sat us with two extra people joining our party last minute
- The overall cafe was decorated very cutely with very cutesy and energetic anime music playing in the background
- the food/desserts/drinks were very yummy (when we did finally get them)
- the performances were so high energy and cutesy along with our chekkis
- I'm glad the maids did the magical moe moe spell with each item they brought

Now for the negatives:
- we were told we would only have a 1 hour and 30 minute time slot...that turned into 2 and half hours (not by choice) The kitchen had two separate incidents that delayed our orders specifically leaving most of us starving and picking off of each others plates since this was supposed to be our dinner. By the 30 minute mark one person in our party received their plate of food, 10 minutes after the appetizers were brought out (we were missing one and was told it would be out soon)1 hour mark came and half of us received our food finally but two of our friends drinks were still missing along with the last appetizer. By the 1 hour 30 minute mark one of our friends finally received their drink but still no food for three of us, no last appetizer and still 1 missing drink. By the 2 hour mark our friend finally received their missing drink and appetizer. Then by the 2 hour and 10 minute mark the last two of our party finally received their food (one of them being the wrong burger but at this point there was no point in asking for a remake)
- When trying to talk to the maids and ask for things to be taken off due to how long things took they insisted everything was coming and suddenly our friends missing items arrived.
- Instead of just taking off the extremely late food they gave us only a 15% discount off a $455 dollar bill
- And they wrong everything up individually rather than as the combos which we felt made everything even more expensive
- Within those two hours at least 4-5 groups were in and out somehow
Overall I wouldn't come back with a group as it's clear its much too overwhelming for just four maids to handle and need extra help on the floor
- kitchen staff needs more training to avoid situations like this in the future
-the cafe needs to be up front about everything being charged separately rather than in combos like their menu states
- cafe needs better contact system for their customers to reach them

Dear Asayoru Maid Cafe when I look for your place I can't find it on Google Maps are guys still in the same location or did you relocate in Atlantic Time Square.

I booked online for 1.30 on a Tuesday, we travelled all the way there and it was shut. Even had a son on the door sayings it’s open on Tuesdays.

As a regular from Aug 2023 I can honestly say I fell in love with the place.
Every maid is amazing and love how everyone has their different type of themes.

Since Nov of 2024 at their new location I have admired how the new place is influence from the Maid Cafés in Japan. As of right now they are still in their soft opening and I'm sure Oyabun (Manager) is trying new and amazing ideas to make us feel comfortable and have more fun then we did over in Arcadia.

One thing I actually love recently is that they did Asa (Morning) and Yoru (Night) Shifts where they do a little things differently between both.

The Asa Shift (11am-3pm) consist of the maids wearing the Victorian Period outfit and their music themes of classical music and anime movie studio ones. Everything on the menu is available except for performance and the main course food options. As of 1/16/2024 you have the option of the Egg Sando (Sandwich) and the Tuna. I'm sure they'll have more options in the future but I digress. Other than that If you are looking for some peace and quiet, a nice cup of tea and Plenty of time with your Oishi. I recommend the Asa Shift.

The Yoru Shift (12pm-9pm) consist of the maids wearing the French Maid Outfits just like the Maid from Japan (OOO La La). What more can I say. Performances are amazing depending on the maids because some will dance and some will sing. Food and drinks are a huge upgrade compared to the EXP and no longer do the maids have to do a 6 minute walk to retrieve your food and honest food review........... 9/10 (anyone complaining about the food probably started eating without letting the maids bless the food) which is something every maid does which is that once the food arrives you must do a special blessing to your food for it to taste delicious.

In closing, it's a great place for a great time
