'Wow! There's poop everywhere!’ says an 8-year-old boy as he and his family dine at the Modern Toilet, a popular Taiwanese restaurant chain that's expanding into Xiamen. The boy was curiously looking at the poop-shaped lights and the curry on toilet-shaped plates.

Modern Toilet is a unique bathroom-themed restaurant chain, based in Taiwan, with several branches throughout Asia. In the restaurant, every customer sits on an actual unworking toilet and dines at a glass table with a sink underneath.The servers bring your meal atop a mini toilet bowl (quite convenient, as it brings the food closer to your mouth), you sip drinks from your own plastic urinal (a souvenir), and soft-swirl ice cream arrives for dessert atop a dish shaped like a squat toilet.

Owner Wang Zi-Wei, an ex-banker, stated that his inspiration for the bathroom themed restaurant came from a robot character from the Japanese cartoon Dr. Slump who loved to "play with poop and swirl it on a stick." From this cartoon inspiration, he started a successful ice cream shop selling swirled chocolate ice cream on top of paper squat toilets.

The arrival of the ‘Modern Toilet Restaurant’ launches the next generation of toilet-themed restaurants. With new ideas and new products, the goal of the restaurant is to become ‘The No. 1 Brand in Themed Chain Restaurants’. And in the future, a greater range of washroom facilities will greet new customers and old friends alike.

[Vesuvian Sky]

Would you eat at a toilet-themed restaurant?

Customers dine while sitting on acrylic toilets adorned with "roses, seashells or renaissance paintings." The tables that the meals are served on are bathroom sinks covered with glass tops. Meals are served in miniature toilet bowls and drinks are in miniature plastic urinals which the customers can take home with them as a souvenir. Dessert ice cream is served in a dish that resembles a squat toilet.

[Tooting Carmen]

Too weird...

[Shah-Jehan]

Yeah.

[Siberian Cold Breeze]

No but I would book a table for two and do not meet the person, but stand outside secretly just to photo his face when he arrives ..priceless :D

[Linebacker]

Yeah why not,I will stuff my self,and when I need to unload the load,the toilet is right there.BEST RESTURANT EVA.

[Kiyant]

No this is pretty disturbing

[GrebluBro]

:puke:

[CordedWhelp]

lol...there's innovation...and then there's pointlessly stupid for the sake of being different...

[Prisoner Of Ice]

It's not in Germany? No way.

[portusaus]

Nah, it's too unappetizing. I've seen this before.. only in Japan.

[TheBlondeSalad]

They should hire the girls from "Two Girls One Cup" as waitresses

[YeshAtid]

Yeah

[armenianbodyhair]

I wouldn't even have to take a poop break.

[Mark]

I would go there with friends if the food was suppose to be good and for the general novelty aspect of it. I don't think it's such a big deal but I don't have many hang-ups about this stuff.

[Virtuous]

The awesomeness of modernism. So progressive.

[cally]

Perfect date

[BrunetteAnna]

no way..it sucks lol

[Kazimiera]

I'd go there for the novelty of it. Maybe again if the food was really good, but it seems that they sell the theme more than the food. They could get away with shitty (yes) food because people will go there just for the experience.
