The restaurant features a 3.6 meter custom-made pink-haired female robot that is operated by Japanese waitresses in skimpy bikinis. Customers can also jump aboard the giant robot and take her for a spin. Located in Kabukicho, one of the best-known red light districts of Toyko, the Robot Restaurant is the latest in cabaret entertainment. The restaurant cost ten billion yen to build and comes equipped with a giant tank filled with neon lights. Customers can choose to ride the giant robot themselves or they can pay 3,000 yen to get a private hour long show with these robotic girls. It is rumored that the robots are inspired from the character Valkyrie in Soul Calibur.
