Magic Restroom Cafe

My friend Kyle and I visited this gem of a restaurant for our friend Davina’s toilet themed birthday blow out. It was a huge splash. We were completely wiped out after gorging on this food that was served in delightful toilet troughs.
We recommend order the No. 2 combo. Mild spice.

Incompetent staff, had to wait a half hour for a group of 4 to be seated. I’ve never accused a place of being racist, but holy shit did they try my patience. 3 Korean FAMILIES came in after us.
They wrote their names on the list after ours, got sat before us. The third time this happened, we left, furious.
I’m not surprised this place closed.

A gimmick restaurant that gets tired as soon as the food comes out.
We heard about the Magic Restroom Café opening and went there for lunch. It was fun taking pictures, but once the food came out, we were disgusted (and not because of the décor).
We had the fried rice, curry, spaghetti, and mango katsu. All of them tasted horrible, which had nothing to do with the toilet-​bowl plates either. I couldn’t believe they could serve food like this at a restaurant. You at least expect a minimum standard of quality when you go out to eat, but this was terrible. The food is cheap but still not worth it.
Initially, I thought this would be a fun place just to check out, but the food didn’t even reach my low expectations. Can’t see how it would last very long, or why anyone would ever come back. If you want to just check out the place, maybe come here for a drink, but otherwise, do yourself a favor and just bring a camera and bowl of rice with you to the toilet at home — it’ll probably taste better.

This is a pretty different restaurant. You walk in, open the door and BAM there are toilets everywhere. You can take pictures with toilets, as well as sit on a toilet to eat your meal haha
There was NO WAIT at all, actually, there was barely people in the café. Decided to order the fried tofu and special curry. When the food came out, it was in a urinal! The food was just okay… I felt like there was nothing special about it. I think people just love coming here for taking pictures and eating out of toilets.
Yes, it’s a unique restaurant, but I feel like there is nothing special about the food!

YUP. I WENT HERE.
What can I say? I’m a sucker for a good photo opp and there are so many puns for this place!
Basically, come here only for the photo opp. Although the servers are nice, the food is whatevs. My friend ordered one of their fruit-​infused teas and it was refreshing. We split a couple of fried snacks that weren’t even served in the porcelain toilet, but a weird porcelain dish that looked more like a bassinet. Also, this place was super empty, which made the experience even more awkward.
As for the décor, the seats get uncomfortable, and if you actually open up the toilet seats, you can see that they don’t clean them often. There was a bunch of dust and hair in my seat.
The only big perk, in my opinion, is that there is a half and half in the same shopping center, which is where we went after.

I started giggling as soon as I walked in the door, and as soon as my friend, Jessica M. walked through the door we burst out LOL-​ing. Of course, we knew what we were getting ourselves into, but it’s hard to believe a place like this ACTUALLY exists. Toilets galore, and too much room for inappropriate photo ops.
I had the noodles with bean paste and it was aiiiight. I was scared it was going to be awful, as I’ve seen the Unilocal reviews. I asked for the paste on the side, so I could control how much of it went on my noodles, and good thing I did, because I didn’t even eat ¼ of the bean paste. Really, I paid $ 7.50 for a pack of noodles and $ 3 for a glass of black tea, so it was kinda pricey for what you get, but the experience is priceless.
The staff is prompt, and they are hiring, which to me, dispels rumors that the place may close down soon.
NOTE: If you are easily grossed out by… gross things, I would skip coming here, as your food is literally served to you in a mini toilet, and you gotta push the idea of you eating out of a toilet out of your mind or you will gag.

I came here to get dessert because I wanted to eat somewhere else for lunch. The dessert was good. Idy T. and I wanted to get the icecream dessert in the toilet bowl but they didn’t have that anymore. They were accommodating. We ordered 2 orders of the icecream. They have vanilla, green tea, strawberry, and chocolate. They put it on top of shaved ice. I really like the boba and egg pudding. I thought the lucky charms cereal was weird, it would be better if they had fresh fruits instead.
Also it got pretty disgusting towards the end of eating the dessert. When shaved ice and ice kind of melted and you realize that you are eating out of a toilet bowl…
The service was pretty good. They were attentive but won’t bug you. The best part about this restaurant is the theme. I have been to the one in Taiwan and it is pretty similar. Except the one in Taiwan had bathtubs with a glass over it as tables. Right when you walk in, you see toilets and urinals in the waiting area.
The desserts are good so it’s worth it come to try the desserts. I don’t know about their entrees and appetizers. It’s definitely a fun experience.

LOVE the ambiance and just the concept of this place… far out and just funny.
Who ever thought about eating food out of a toilet dish WHILE sitting on the toilet? Hilarious.
Menus are stored in a urinal when you walk in, so you are literally diving right in to the experience when you first arrive.
And the food was surprisingly good to boot! Particularly the fried rice (They only have shrimp on the menu, but they accommodated my request for chicken). The curry and katsu were also pretty good, as well as the lemon drink.
Prices are decent and the service staff pretty friendly. I’m definitely coming back for more laughs and good food.
The plaza is pretty crowded so parking sucks most of the time, be it peak time or no.

Definitely a fun place to eat for those who love to play with their food! And probably the only time when poop jokes are appropriate during a meal.
I’ve heard about the Restroom themed restaurants from Taiwan, so like everyone else I was ecstatic that these restaurants would be opening up in the states. The Magic Restroom Café is located in the same plaza as Jazz Cat on the second floor. Parking is crazy since there are tons of Asian restaurants in the plaza, so expect terrible Asian drivers all around (you’ve been warned!).
Upon entering the restaurant, there’s a really cute waiting area with urinals along the walls and toilets and plungers for awesome photo taking opportunities. We got there around noon on a Sunday and there was no wait at all. We were seated promptly at a table next to shower heads on the wall. The seats were toilets and although not very comfy they fit the theme perfectly. The menu only had a limited number of items. We didn’t order any appetizers, desserts, or drinks since we read mostly bad reviews about them. I was aiming to order the grossest looking food item so I went with the Chicken Curry, my friends ordered the fried rice with sausage and Zha jiang mian (noodles with black sauce).
Since I’ve read that the food was mediocre I had very low expectations, I was quite surprised to find out that our food was actually pretty good, although pricier than regular restaurants. My curry did not look anything like the photos posted online. It seems like since their soft opening they have improved the quality and quantity of their food. The chicken curry was not watered down as reported by many Unilocalers. It was flavorful and they included plenty of chicken and veggies (potatoes and carrots). I had leftovers that were enough to feed me for another meal. All the main entrees ranged avg from $ 8-​$ 10. The food definitely isn’t the most memorable but it’s all about the presentation here anyway. Expect almost everything to arrive in potties!
Now after you finish your meal is when the fun starts! We got really creative in creating the most disgusting looking aftermath of our meals with our toilet bowls. We poured water and threw in pieces of napkin and food into our bowls and I think we walked away with some of the nastiest looking food pics. Although the theme can be quite repulsive, I think everyone should experience the Magic Restroom Café at least once for fun. There’s certainly nothing magical about it, but i guarantee you will walk away with some funny and gross food pics to show off to your friends.

I’ve been hearing about this place, so upon Shirly C.‘s suggestion, we ventured out to see for ourselves.
The décor was welcoming upon walking in (located on the 2^nd floor, next to the elevator). We were seated quickly on a Friday night. The menu was simple and included «Taiwanese» favorites. For me personally, I usually order beef noodle soup at every Taiwanese restaurant, this time was no different.
The toilet bowl made the food «fun.» However, I was disappointed in the portion. The noodles were generous, but there wasn’t enough soup broth. Thus, the noodles weren’t soaking in the flavor. I liked their soup broth, drank that first, but realized I had to pace myself or I’d just be eating plain noodles. The other thing that can be improved was that there was no salty green veggies (best English translation that I can come up with…) that usually compliments Taiwanese beef noodle soup.
The bathroom décor was fun, and the service was pretty good. I’m not sure if I’d go out of my way to come here again b/​c the prices are on the higher end for beef noodle soup and the lack of portion compared to the competition in the area.

Yuck.
Definitely a funny atmosphere, but with anything, that lasts about 3 minutes. Until the setting in of «oh god what have I done…»
Food is definitely not good. I mean, who has stinky tofu served with sweet chili sauce? That’s not real stanky tofu.
The safest thing that tastes mildly okay is the katsu, but even then the sauce is watered down Lee Kum Kee Black Pepper Sauce. There is no black pepper to be found, just some soy sauce/​water and LKK sauce. Gnarly.
Took 10 minutes to get the ice cream… And it wasn’t good at all. 10 minutes and $ 8 for 3 scoops of ice cream?
Yikes. This place is getting away with highway robbery and they’ll probably close within a year or two. Doubtful there are ANY repeating customers.

Well, if you’ve seen the pics you know where this is going… right down the pooper :-) Not much I can add to all the knowledge that has already been dropped.
Place is worth a try just remember to bring your 2-​ply ;-)

Gotta be honest, I was super excited that a restroom themed restaurant was finally opening here in the US. I’ve tried multiple locations of Modern Toilet (the original) in Taiwan so I already had an idea how it was going to be. After a few months of anticipating, my friends and I drove 30 mins to give it a try. So our party of five got there and were seated right away. Right away I thought the décor, although like an actual restroom, lacked «excitement» to it… the tables were just tables instead of bathtubs like the original. toilets were all the same without glitter and all the jazz to it…
Next was the food… we ordered beef stew noodle, dong po pork bc they were out of spicy chicken strip rice, and soybean paste noodles. Their system somehow glitched and we got an extra entrée we didn’t order so they took it off the bill and gave it to us for free (good service on their part).
–beef stew noodle: noodles overcooked so were soft and very little soup (soup was tasty). If they put the noodle in a proper bowl, like maybe a bigger toilet, then there would be more soup and VOILA… a better tasting dish! The others said their food was edible but nothing memorable.
Overall, probably a one time thing for me unless they improve their food. -.-

I’ve read all the terrible reviews for this place, YET I was persistent on going here because I’m in love with that concept!!! Eating out of toilets. Sitting on toilets. ! So funny and cute.
Anyways, I read all the bad reviews for curry and decided not to get it. They had some spicy chicken noodles that sounded delicious! BUT they ran out. Bummer. So I ordered the soy noodles. I asked the waitress if they had meat. And she must have misunderstood me cause she put in my order for NO meat. I was just asking. Does not mean I didn’t want it. I love meat!!! How will I get full off of just noodles mannnn. Then we ordered grilled sausages? But honestly they were just boiled and served with a few strands if lettuce and one drop of mayo. What the…
My friend ordered the katsu chicken. The dry-​est chicken I’ve ever had! served with the most flavorless sauce I’ve ever had along with dry rice. Terrible .
As for the bad service everyone was talking about. Uh it was okay? Yeah they’re a little slow on greeting. But there’s like two people working. They were pretty consistent on getting you whatever you ask for asap. So can’t complain.
Great concept, needs better food. Disappointed. Wahhhh

Came on grand opening day. It’s cute. I thought I’d be grossed out by the toilet shaped serve ware, but it didn’t bother me.
The noodles in the beef noodle was very mushy. There was too little broth due to that serve ware. It almost became a dry noodle dish. I asked for more broth and they were extremely reluctant, but in the end, brought some over.
Just standard ok Taiwanese food. It was fun to check the place out, but I wouldn’t be returning for the food.
For the women, bring a purse hook, since there’s no place to hang it on the toilet. You could put it inside the toilet (it’s new, after all), but I easily drew the line at that.

I think the food and service here is half expected to be kinda shitty. right?
I paid $ 10 for a toilet bowl half filled with mediocre pork
The toilet in the men’s room was just a real toilet.
I wouldn’t recommend eating out of it.

MEH. This is the kind of place you try once for the experience. I don’t think I’m going to be a regular here. I would rate this place 2 stars, but it is a unique experience so I bumped it up a notch.
Went with some friends and there was actually a wait on a Thursday night at 7:30. I guess people really want to try it! The wait was average, about 30 minutes. The waiting area is kind of fun. There’s a few toilet seats to sit on as you wait for your table. All the tables actually have toilet seats as part of your actual dinner. Your dishes also come out in mini toilets and urinals.
Everything on the menu seemed overprice… especially for the quality. I was very tempted to order their magic curry as it is the most instagrammable, but after reading so many awful reviews I opted out. The soy bean paste noodles weren’t bad-​definitely a LOT of noodles that came clumped together. It made it difficult to mix with the tofu paste and vegetable, but the flavor was alright. The beef stew noodle soup had the usual flavor, but they put so much damn noodles that there was probably really just an inch of soup. The noodles soaked up all the soup lol. The mango katsu fish was such a disappointment. There was no chopped up mangos. It was just fried fish with a mango cream sauce that tasted mostly of mayo.
This place is basically a mental thing. My friends and I kept thinking that everything was dirty, but obviously thats just a psychological thing. The desserts looked good, but judging by other tables… it seemed that it was mostly shaved ice and you don’t really get the bang for your buck. This place is worth a try, just for shits and giggles though! (pun intended)
WATCH YOUR STEP when you get out of your seat, I stubbed my toe from the block that the toilet seat was on and then proceeded to hit my shin on the seat.

Really didn’t want to come here, but when I saw Ray I.‘s picture… I knew I just HAD TO come and take an even more gross picture than him. And I think I did accomplish just that.
The food is really not that bad. Neither is the service. It’s exactly what you would expect from an Asian establishment like this. So people don’t let all the negative reviews stop you from coming here. The toilet theme is awesome. My friend and I had a good laugh taking pictures. Sharing with our friends and etc.
Ordered the Curry because it’s the thing you need to order in order to make an epic instagram/​facebook post. It’s Chinese curry. Hard to explain what that is exactly. But I’ll give it a shot. It’s a bit bland compared to Indian or South East Asian Curry, not sweet like Japanese curry, no coconut milk like Thai curry. It’s just potato and chicken with curry powder stew in a way. It’s not bad but it’s not amazing. For $ 10, it’s bang for the buck entertainment for sure.
Ordered the stinky tofu, they had a gross name for it in Chinese I think. My chinese suck, I wouldn’t have know that it’s stinky tofu if they didn’t have the English under it. It’s not served like the other Taiwanese places where you have pickled cabbage, that garlic soy sauce, and some chili paste. Instead it came with some sweet and spicy sauce. The tofu was soft as if it was under cooked. Terrible on all counts. Definitely not my favorite.
My biggest complaint was the drinks. Almost $ 5 each and their coffees are all served chilled unless you request it. I ordered a coffee latte and it tasted like instant coffee. I felt robbed of that $ 5. And it took forever to make.
Anyway, neat place to go with some easy going friends. Don’t expect the most amazing food in the world. Take lots of pictures. And vote for my picture for the Grossest food picture award. Did I just made that up? Yes it did.

TOILET THEMED RESTROOM!!!
Once the novelty faded the experience was pretty meh.
I’ve never had so much poop jokes/​conversation during a meal til I came here.
Maybe it’ll get better once it’s officially open… BUT I don’t understand why our server didn’t know anything about the menu the day it opened. Not that hard to describe what a chocolate sauce ice cream is (2scoops of ice cream, shaved ice as a filler, bits of m&ms, strawberries and fruity pebbles).
: AMBIENCE :
— pretty empty, maybe they’re still not done decorating?
— A+ on the toilet seats! Was very awkward sitting on it with the seat up.
— the shower on the wall is an awesome touch
— urinal in front of the entrance is great as well.
: FOOD/​MENU :
Food is pricey, but it’s not disgusting (once you get use to the toilet bowl).
— Curry, was ok… i recommend getting the spicy beef noodle soup
— beef noodle soup, decent and spicy and more photogenic
— fried tofu, meh
— wings, decent… i think i liked that dish the most
— sausage, thin slices
— chocolate sauce ice cream, they should have a pic of this on the menu. or at least a description. KINDA disappointed that it didnt look soft serve to fit the theme.
— oyster omelet WAS GROSS… but my bf liked it… not an ordinary omelet (warning: they serve this on a normal plate)
: SERVICE :
— learn the menu please. not that hard
— be more attentive and less on your phone

: PARKING :
— lots of parking (free)
it was fun while it lasted.
PS: if you guys read an article on FOODBEAST, the desserts aren’t called BLOODY NUMBER 2 and BLACK POOP… would be funny if they did.
Pet Peeve: Their pink logo with a fly (outside) needs to go away. It ain’t consistant with the toilet logo! grrrr

I heard of a similar restaurant setup over in Taiwan. Saw a Unilocaler buddy checked in to this place on Saturday, so I decided to come check it out.
The first thing you see when you walk in are a bunch of urinals and toilets along the wall. Definitely cool, but I wouldn’t want to be the one cleaning them up if someone drunk and nauseous on a late night decides to pray to the porcelain god.
Love the décor. So yes, you’ll be sitting on a porcelain toilet while you eat. Ladies, no worries… The seats are already down. Toilet seat covers are available upon request (possibly).
Food is served on creative plates/​bowls that shape like toilet bowls and urinals (?).
Now onto the food…
Magic Curry Rice with Chicken — I have to say I was really disappointed with it, especially since it was the first item on the menu at the highest price point. Really bland, not much flavor, no kick to the curry, hard to find the chicken… Not enough rice for the amount of curry I get.
Japanese Style Chicken Drum Stick with Rice — Had a couple bites, and enjoyed it. Not too dry. Need that sauce though.
I know it was a soft opening, but there is no excuse why my curry came out so quickly and the chicken didn’t come out until I asked about it over 10 minutes later. It seemed obvious the chicken wasn’t punched in… It wasn’t busy, the wait staff was pretty much standing around… A little disappointed. By the time the chicken came out my curry was ice cold.
Overall, I like the décor, I like the presentation… Food needs a little improvement. I’ll give it another chance once they iron things out.
