I've always wanted to go to Japan and explore Tokyo's streets; with this book, I almost felt like I was there. Not only it shows an amazing variety of cafés, bars and restaurants, but each and everyone of those is described in such a fun way, you feel like you're reading a letter from a friend of yours.
It has certainly opened up my curiosity, and it has taught me a little bit more about japanese society and subcultures and how Tokyo works. My appetite for this city has grown deeper and I just can't wait to visit each and every of this places personally.
If you're looking to expand your urban knowledge about Tokyo, "Crazy, Wacky Theme Restaurants. Tokyo" surely wont dissapoint you, and it's a must have in your coffee table.

This book is amazing for me because I love cute places in Japan. I have been inspired by this book and its interesting places from the Cat Curl up Cafe to Kayabuki Tavern where you can hang out with a great friend. I love Japanese theme cafes they are unique and enjoyable and this book gives great ideas and places to visit. Anyone that loves food and a unique experience will love Crazy Wacky Theme Restaurants!

For $18.27 on Amazon, this book was a rip off. It's 95 pages and the photos are really awful like some teenager took them all with an iPhone. The composition and quality of the photos, actually a drunk teenager seemed to take them, most are blurry. Just awful. The text was worse. La Carmina is pretentious and boring and her weird poses in the book make it look like she botoxed her entire face, no expression whatsoever, just weird. She talks down to her dinner guests bc they're not enjoying themselves. Who the f k would enjoy a watered down, sugary cocktail with little alcohol. It's a good guide to the cafe's two of which are closed, but I'm sure it would be cheaper to just go online to some online place that talks about Japanese theme restaurants. She doesn't even really cover all the menu items and her photos of the menu's are out of focus so you can't even see what's on the menu. Just an awful little cruddy book for $18.27 don't buy it. But I love the idea of wacky theme restaurants. F k you Anthony Bourdeain for introducing me to this La Carmina and her stupid book. you owe me $18.27 a hole!

A healthy dose of Japanese cultural history as well as restaurant...
Deserving of ongoing recommendation is Crazy Wacky Theme Restaurants Tokyo, a survey of Tokyo eateries ranging in theme from Hello Kitty to Drag Maids and more. Read more

Great for travelers and those interested in Japanese culture:
This is a really exciting book that I am currently enjoying on my way to Japan. It shines a light on aspects of Japanese culture that the traditional travel books don't come near. Read more

Great book for Japan nerds
A great book for any visitor to Tokyo willing to sample the non-traditional and crazy parts of Japanese culture.
