Magic Restroom Café is a unique and quirky restaurant located in Los Angeles, California. This one-of-a-kind establishment has gained attention for its unusual concept. As the name suggests, the café is designed to resemble a bathroom. From the toilets to the seats, everything in the café is toilet-themed. Upon entering the café, customers are greeted with a whimsical and playful atmosphere. The dining area is filled with brightly colored toilet seats, urinals, and sinks.
My only question is if there’s an actual bathroom inside this bathroom restaurant. Do you do your business and eat at the same time? How does this work?
Order correctly chicken wings, Taiwanese sausage, fried tofu , and the food arrives in a miniature floor commode which was the stuff of nightmares for Western backpackers in Asia in the past. Thankfully, seat covers are employed, and no one s actually forced to cop a squat while downing dishes so lovingly named black poop chocolate sundae , smells-like-poop braised pork over rice , constipation zha jiang mian , bloody number two vanilla-strawberry sundae.
The dining area is filled with brightly colored toilet seats, urinals, and sinks. The tables are even shaped like bathtubs. The café embraces its theme wholeheartedly, with even the menu items named after bathroom-related terms.
Fun Friday Fact Time: Magic Restroom Cafe Serves Dishes in Toilet Bowls
Asia has all sorts of weird s***, and I say this quite literally. In Taiwan, where my extended family lives, there’s a restaurant called the Modern Toilet Restaurant. You plop down on toilets and dine on dishes that arrive in toilet bowls. Needless to say, nature has never called me to go there.
Even when you think an idea is so outrageous it has to be contained in Asia, you’re wrong. The owner of Modern Toilet Restaurant decided to open one in Los Angeles this week, because of the concept’s popularity in Taiwan.
The menu is all Taiwanese food, but it’s all sounding very unappetizing. From LA’s Eaterwire:
If diarrhea-looking food swimming in a toilet bowl still doesn’t offend, understand the dish is named signature “golden poop” rice. Order correctly (chicken wings, Taiwanese sausage, fried tofu), and the food arrives in a miniature floor commode which was the stuff of nightmares for Western backpackers in Asia in the past.
Sadly, not all chairs are toilet seats, and none of the toilets have water tanks attached. Thankfully, seat covers are employed, and no one’s actually forced to cop a squat while downing dishes so lovingly named: “black poop” (chocolate sundae), “smells-like-poop” (braised pork over rice), “constipation” (zha jiang mian), “bloody number two” (vanilla-strawberry sundae). For an Alinea-esque multi-sensory dining experience, it’s best to order the stinky tofu for the pleasant malodor.

If the imported miniature toilet bowl ceramicware used extensively by the restaurant doesn't offend you, imagine it filled with goopy brown curry.

Reviews for "Mystical Menus and Whimsical Decor: The Ingredients for a Magical Restroon Caff"
1. Megan - 2 stars - I was really excited to check out the Magic Restroom Cafe, but I left feeling completely disappointed. The novelty of eating in a bathroom-themed restaurant quickly wore off when I saw the uncleanliness and lack of attention to detail. The food was mediocre at best, with cold dishes and flavorless options. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique dining experience.
2. Jason - 1 star - My experience at the Magic Restroom Cafe was truly magical... in the worst way possible. The concept itself is bizarre and off-putting, but I was willing to give it a chance. However, the service was terrible with slow and inattentive staff. The food was subpar, with soggy fries and tasteless entrees. The overall cleanliness of the restaurant was questionable, and it felt more like eating in an actual restroom than a themed cafe. Save your money and go elsewhere.
3. Sarah - 1 star - I had high hopes for the Magic Restroom Cafe, but it fell flat in every aspect. The decor was tacky and poorly done, and it felt more like a cheap Halloween party than a themed restaurant. The service was slow and unprofessional, with orders being delivered to the wrong tables and long wait times for everything. The food itself was unappetizing and lacked flavor. I wouldn't recommend wasting your time or money on this place.
