robot restaurant

So I've finally come around to trying out the Robot Restaurant~ I found it by chance several weeks ago and have been waiting for the right day to try it. Coincidentally, I have a project to do for Japanese class, where my group decided to do themed restaurants, so this is the perfect excuse to come here! hah

Anyway, there are three shows every night showing at 19:00, 20:30, and 22:00, so basically, it's an hour and a half show. It costs ¥5000 per person and comes with a snack box.

So the first thing you see is this giant dinosaur figure outside the restaurant.

The place where you purchase tickets to the show is across the street. There are also lockers here for you to put your stuff.

We arrived a bit too early, so just waiting around for the show to start.

The interior of the place was brightly lit-no kidding. There were lights everywhere!

There were also mirrors everywhere, including the ceiling.

The actual restaurant is downstairs of the waiting room. As you walk down, it's like walking through a circus. Everything was so overdecorated, with flashing lights, revolving disco balls too big for the place, and tacky colored animals.

And when we finally reached the place, I realized it was just a tiny room surrounded by computer screens. 

  

My snack box of edamame, tamago, fries, sausage, and katsu.

Pork cutlet sandwich. The ratings for the food: 0.

The show was divided into four or five different performances. I think the theme changes every couple of months or so, but most of what we saw were dance performances and robot wars. There were a lot of equipment used throughout the show and it was interesting, but it was definitely a guy's show. The girls were all dressed so skimpy and it became more and more so as the show went on.

They gave us time in the middle to take pictures with the robots. Everyone wanted pictures, and so, we, who couldn't fight, were only able to take one. =/ 

And my conclusion on this Robot Restaurant: it is not a restaurant!
