Went bar hopping on main march 9th and this place was one of the few bars that had little to no line so we stopped in. The female bartender downstairs was the biggest cun+ ever for lack of better words lol I've bartended in high volume spots in Houston for years so I totally understand how annoying the crowds can become but she literally was not even that busy and yelling at my group to all order at the same time and being rude about everything we said in general. Then we each got charged $13 for a one ounce pour that I watched her make each drink with a jigger. Went upstairs to get away from the monster of a bartender and the hentai and decor upstairs is so cute however it smelled like mold or something sour so we left

Me and my friends came here on a Friday and it wasn’t packed. But the art work and DJ was great!! The bartenders were very nice. Saki bombs were fun to drink with the bartenders banging a gong. Would definitely like to come back with more ppl in attendance.

OVERPRICED!!!!!! The shots were so low, like half what you would usually get elsewhere and for how much you pay? Not worth it. I think they charged me 17$ for a shot.

My friends and I came here not expecting much due to the negative reviews but had an absolute blast! The upstairs DJ played a great mix of music, the bartender Jennifer was amazing. She remembered my friends and I from the night before and despite it being packed with her and one other she got to us pretty quick.My friends and I had lost our house keys last night (New Year’s Eve) and had called Zenaku to see if we had left them there. Jo got back to me by 2 pm which was amazing!Overall we had a fantastic time and personally management is doing something right! Definitely recommend going here.

I don’t typically write reviews but I’ve been coming here for a while now and it use to be so fun! i went this past weekend and it seems they got a new staff.. the old staff dressed in cosplay and made it so much fun especially downstairs with the wheel! This time wasn’t nearly as fun, as the upstairs bartenders seemed to be drinking a bit too much to give me the experience i usually get, drinks were bad and they couldn’t stop dropping things. And downstairs bartenders were extremely underwhelming. I don’t think I’ll be coming back, this place just seems like any regular cash grab at this point. Bring back the cosplay!! And bring back the fun! This was my worst experience here!!

I thought this was going to be a very sexual hentai bar that was raunchy but it was very tasteful. It wasn't too in your face but if you like this type of stuff it's for you! The bar upstairs is really cool and the seating is set up nicely. It's a club so it's loud and what you'd expect it to be

I went last night with a friend, and we were extremely underwhelmed. Both of us are longtime anime fans, myself an anime fan of over two decades, and it definitely felt passionless from the moment I walked in. It felt more along the lines of "anime as an aesthetic" with at best basic interior design, rather than actually having a passion for anime and manga itself. It definitely felt gimmicky, almost like a "culture vulture" type of place. The paintings on the wall looked to be traced art, official or fan art, as well, which definitely adds to the gimmicky, trashy feel. It would have looked better if they actually got original artists to do fan art or original art for the walls both upstairs and downstairs. I don't mind trashy themed places, but I definitely do not mean the word trashy here as a compliment.The drinks were okay, but expensive even for bars on the same block. It's really disappointing that this bar, just like the one in Sugar Land, definitely isn't run by fans for fans, and feels more like a cash grab than anything else. The service was good, which is the only reason I didn't give this one star. The ladies are very nice and polite and good to talk to. No complaints on that end. However, I will not be returning.
Good service, atmosphere, and drinks! Ladies are beautiful as well!

If you like anime you will like this bar. It's located downtown but the atmosphere and ambiance of the place is really neat!Things I really liked* the menu is in the bar, like in the bar table and rotates. * I have downstairs area which is light anime and then they have an upstairs sake bar area where it's a hentai vibe and more clubby with vip seating.

Best bar to go to if you're into anime and well if you're not who cares the atmosphere is great however i did have an incident recently that a creep was there and wouldnt leave me and my girlfriend alone so next time ill let the bartender know if a incident happens like that again.

Downtown Main Street is so much more lively than it used to be. Most of the bars feel pretty similar...until you come here!This place looks like it was plucked out of Tokyo and dropped in Houston. Lots of cool anime/hentai art to see on both floors. It gets a little naughtier upstairs in their sake bar/dance floor/lounge area. The music is loud and the it is usually packed. Definitely a place you want to check out if you're bouncing around the bars and want a memorable experience.

Very hospitable service from the barstaff and Jo, made our birthday celebrations awesome. Got the oyabun party pack which came with way more than we expected, its kinda pricey but worth the experience. Also ; the bathrooms are insane 10/10 definitely going again
