The City of Industry restaurant is toilet-themed, as guests sit on toilet-style stools and are served food in miniature toilet bowls, according to a report from Los Angeles' KTLA 5. Yelp reviews describe the décor as including urinals and toilets along the wall, and shower fixtures near some of the tables.
The inspiration comes from a place called the Modern Toilet Restaurant in Taiwan, reports the Los Angeles Times.
YoYo Li, a first-time restaurateur from China, decided to open one in
the United States due to the popularity of such cafes in Taiwan,
according to the Times, which describes the place as "rather crude, but
it's all in good humor."
