I absolutely loved this spot! I've been wanting to come here since me and my boyfriend are huge fans of one piece but the food and service will keep me coming back! Plenty of free parking, it's pretty casual and wasn't busy at all on a Sunday. The place is filled with one piece statues, stickers, merch and anime figurines all for sale. I love the decoration like you're inside the thousand sunny. We got the takoyaki, sweet and sour chicken, sukiyaki, lychee lemonade and fried doughnuts. I had tried takoyaki in Japan and it was a bit too mushy so I was willing to give it another try and this one was amazing!! Mushy on the inside but not raw mushy and solid on the outside. It was perfect and the sauce on top was delicious. The sweet and sour chicken was incredible. The sauce tasted really natural not too sweet like typical Chinese restaurants and the breading was very light on the chicken. It was also a huge portion for a great price. The sukiyaki was my favorite and I got to take some home! The broth was savory, sweet and it had sooo much udon and meat literally a mountain of toppings! Ask for chili oil on the side. I have to come back to get the short ribs but I was in a soup mood and it did not disappoint. One of my favorite places in Miami now for sure!! Came for the vibes and was pleasantly surprised the food was so good. The service was great they kept checking up on us and they have great dessert options. Fried doughnuts were made perfectly and super crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. We need more places like this for sure!! Thank you for bringing Otaku culture to Miami!!

I came because of the anime but I come back because of the food. This place was all around amazing. I loved looking at the decor and all the one piece stuff and I didn't expect much of the food, but I was blown away. Everything was so delicious! I noticed how many people started to come in and they didn't look like fans of the anime so I knew it was legit just a great restaurant on top of a really cool place. The service was great as well. Everyone was very friendly even though I was kind of nerding out and taking pictures.

What a fun place with delicious food! Love everything about it. The scallion pancakes were the best I have had. Flaky, crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I love udon noodles so I opted for the yakisoba. The noodles had that chewy bounce that I like so much and the sauce was rich and flavorful. I can't wait to come back.

Even though I am not a fan of the anime, I found the decor cute and charming. The "submarine potholes" on the ceiling makes it feel like you are on a magical underwater journey. The menu is mostly pan Asian, though a bit all over the place too with items like lomo saltado, burgers. For appetizers, definitely recommend the takoyaki and chicken wings. Calamari is tasty too, though be warned that they are not just rings, but whole little baby squids with head and tentacles... The hot pot is like a giant bowl of noodles with a lot of toppings, big enough to almost feed two. Totally satisfying especially on cooler days. The pork with the ramen is not just thin slices, but nice big cubes of pork belly that has been stewed to flavorful, melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. If you prefer rice, there's also a variety of rice bowls, which is kinda a cross between bibimbap and pokebowl, where you can choose your protein, toppings and sauce. Overall, quite satisfying, and great service.

I've been to The Thousand Sunny on a few different occasions and the service has always been amazing! The restaurant is beautifully themed with creative decorations and lighting. But most importantly the food is amazing!! The dishes are tasty and creative. Unlike a lot of themed restaurants The Thousand Sunny doesn't just rely heavily upon the theme and neglect the quality of the food. It seems like the chefs really care about the taste, presentation, and overall quality of the food. I highly recommend going!!! The only thing is that it's fairly small so there might be a wait for a table but well worth it!

This place was DELICIOUS. We had a rare chilly evening in Miami and I was craving some soup and let me tell you - well worth the trip. Their staff is super sweet and if you're into anime, you'll love their decor. The buns were cooked to perfection and the soup had so. much. FLAVOR. I usually prefer Pho to Ramen but the Tonkatsu I think is the best I've ever had. Each serving feels like a giant vat of broth - I almost think it can be shared. But the leftovers were just as delish. I'll be back!

Small little place. Full of one piece decorations very nice. Outside the store they have a sculpture of Sanji, inside they have another sculpture and a lot of different decor. It looks like you're inside a ship. Overall service, was good and quick. We got our drinks and order taken within 10 minutes of us sitting.

Drove an hour to take my son to this restaurant. It was all worth it. Food was amazing, service was good and the restaurant is so cool. The toys they sell are a little overpriced but we still bought it for the experience. I was presently surprised by this place and would definitely be back. I went on a Sunday around 12 and was seated fast. By 12:30/ 1:00 it was packed and people were waiting outside. This place isn't big so I recommend getting there early.
