The ROBOT RESTAURANT first opened up in 2012
and you used to see massive big breasted robots
being dragged along the streets of Tokyo
advertising their new opening.
Now though,
they don't need to self-advertise anymore
because this robot themed entertainment place
is popular beyond belief.
Its location couldn't be any better either.
What used to be Tokyo's red light district,
Kabukicho in Shinjuku is filled with bars,
izakayas, bright lights,

Robot Restaurant is a dinner show
that features an array of dancers,
special effects,
and outlandish robots.
The moment you walk in the door,
your head will explode.
The Robot Restaurant is EVERYTHING

It should be mentioned,
that despite its location,
the performance is very family friendly.
The dancers used to be a bit more sexual,
but to make it more open to people of all ages
they toned it down,

NEW ROBOTS, NEW SHOWS
We asked the staff and apparently to keep up the excitement,
they do a new show concept 4 times a year.

and Brazilian samba!
It was quite amusing.
The costumes were beautifully made,
and the dances were cute and playful

Even if you don't understand the storyline of the show,
the extreme magnitude of the performers

MUSE music video "Panic Station" for example
takes place in the streets of Kabukicho
and inside the Robot Restaurant.
