Chillax is described across reviews as a cozy, casual Japanese spot with a calm, welcoming vibe where comforting dishes like ramen, donburi, gyoza, and karaage hit the mark, with many noting salmon teriyaki donburi, udon, and fried squid or takoyaki as standouts; the space is simple and authentic, and the decor with anime posters adds a nostalgic energy that many find charming. The service is praised for friendliness and attentiveness, though in one case a long wait occurred when only one staff member was on duty. It is often called a hidden gem and a reliable go to for casual meals, with guests enjoying a homey atmosphere and a good selection of sake, while some concerns include sauces that feel a bit oily, portions that can seem small for the price, and one review mentioning an egg that did not meet expectations. Overall Chillax comes across as a consistently tasty, comfortable place that invites repeat visits.
The place is cozy & so relaxing! The wonderful woman who took our order was so nice & helped me figure out which ramen I should get! Both my partner & I's bowls were practically licked clean by the end of the meal, & the sake was much better than I thought it would be for my first time trying it! I hope we can make it back again before the end of our trip. Thank you for such great service & food!
Tried the chicken ramen - tasty & comforting, not flashy but well-made. The broth had a nice depth & the chicken was tender. The vibe is a big part of the experience: the place is cozy & lined with iconic anime posters & Studio Ghibli poster s - Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke, which gives the space a fun, nostalgic energy. Pleasant spot for a relaxed meal.
From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed. The atmosphere truly lives up to the name - super relaxed, cozy, & inviting. I had the Chillax Burger with fries & it was absolutely delicious - juicy, flavorful, & cooked just right. The fries were crispy & seasoned perfectly. The service was attentive & friendly, & the staff made us feel right at home without being overbearing. The drink menu was also a nice surprise - great options & well made. Whether you're out for a casual dinner or catching up with friends, Chillax is a solid go-to. Great food, chill atmosphere, & consistent quality. Can't wait to come back!
Everything is good & beyond expectations. Recommend dish: chashudon. The meat was moist & tasted great. The atmosphere is cozy & peaceful, with Japanese decorations.

I went to this place because it was close to my hotel & had great reviews on Google. I was not disappointed. The place is small but cozy. It was not crowded, & the service was friendly & quick. My soup was very good, & it was a good value for the money. I would definitely recommend it.
Came to this place for the outstanding reviews but I didn't really get the hype. The unagi don was $21 + tax but only came with one small piece of eel which covered 1/4 of the box. Eel was cooked okay; however, the meat was not very fresh & had many small bones inside. Other dishes were fine. The restaurant features an anime theme & the ambiance was very cozy just like other reviews said.
A cute, cozy little restaurant. I had the Yatai-Ika & Unadon & loved every bite! Great flavors & great service. The chef was friendly too! They also have a little shop at the cashier that you can buy fun little trinkets from. I just wish I'd taken more photos of the food!
Stumbled upon this special place & it didn’t disappoint. Cozy & clean little restaurant with character. Authentic Japanese cuisine, all three of us thought it was yummy! Staff were friendly & the chef peeked out a few times to say hello. Had to come back the next day for green tea & dessert.
Wish we could teleport it to our little town in New Hampshire :)
The edamame & shrimp tempura were not good. They didn’t have at all the finesse of good Japanese cuisine, which is some of the best in the world. The best was the green tea cheese cake, as well as the ambiance of the place, which was really very pleasant & cozy. There was nice jazz in the background. Service was nice but very slow, the one server does what she can.
