See the Robot Restaurant Show Japan

“Before I could even see the restaurant itself, I could hear its infectious music in the distance: “Roboto, roboto, re-su-to-ran…” I soon found myself face to face with the icons of Robot Restaurant: two large and colorful lady-robots, called Roboko, just outside the entrance. The bikini-clad pair had built-in seats, welcoming visitors to climb in and get that perfect shot that allows them the chance to return home and brag about “that time I commandeered a Japanese robot.” [...] The first act finished, and I was left wondering how what I had just witnessed could possibly be topped! Luckily there was a short break, because I think the entire audience needed some recovery time.”

“When I entered the Robot Restaurant I was asked to sit in a waiting lounge where I could purchase drinks, and enjoy jazz music. About four floors underground is where the show is actually performed, and access to food and drinks is limited in this area. The show was outrageous, crazy, entertaining and beyond the description of words. I don’t quite know how to pen down my experience, the first impression of the restaurant being so weird, but at the end of it I was happy that I went!”

“When we got into the basement, we were all assigned seats. The audience sits on either side on the runway. The first thing that struck me was how tiny the room felt. I was certain that it would have been bigger. But then again, I had no idea what to really expect. [...] You’d think that they possibly can’t fit a bigger robot in that narrow passageway, but obviously they prove you wrong. And obviously, there’s all the laser, smoke, and light in the world to accompany it.”
