@2, actually, this is from Taiwan. I ate at the toilet-themed restaurant in Taipei a while ago. It's hilarious, because you order curry chicken because you know, you like curry chicken, but then they serve it to you in a mini toilet bowl and it looks like diarrhea, so you lose your appetite really fast...
@9, this is totally related to Japanese influence though. Gimmick restaurants are such a Japanese import.
I have a book coming in July about Crazy, Wacky Theme Restaurants in Tokyo, such as this one. Lots of wild photos and stories about ninjas, monsters and more! Check out www.lacarmina.com for details ^__^
