I went with my boyfriend, I wasnt sure what to expect, but I really did enjoy it. Lots of lights, bling, dancing, choreographed fighting. It's very OTT! It's lots of fun though.

Lots of fun

Lots of energy

STEPHEN_R, Mar 2026

All the actors/dancers looked like they enjoyed doing the show, so many beautiful smiles and voices.

You need to see this!

adam, Mar 2026

Easily the best live show I've seen while in Japan. The performance was fantastic and I had an absolute blast! There's solid audience participation, the costumes are amazing, and honestly I think I'm going to go back and see it again before I leave. Included bento box meal was also decent, and drinks were reasonably priced (note: cash only when you get inside though). It isn't crowded either (they keep the audience size managable)... but, oh my word, it's loud lol

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Hi Adam, Thank you so much for joining our Futuristic Show at Samurai Restaurant! We’re really happy to hear it was the best live show you’ve seen in Japan and that you had an amazing time. We’re glad you enjoyed the audience participation and the costumes—and thank you for the helpful note about cash-only inside. We also appreciate your feedback on the bento and drink pricing. And yes… it can definitely get loud! 😄 We’d love to welcome you back again before you leave. See you next time! Best regards, KOIKOI JAPAN TOUR Team

If you remember the old Robot Restaurant - this is in the exact same spot - but different show

Anthony_P, Jan 2026

I'll give it 4.5 stars. The performers were really great, and the opening act is exactly what you're looking for. If you remember the old Robot Restaurant - this is in the exact same spot. It's a similar but not the same show as Robot. This one is based more on Japanese history and culture. There are a LOT of intermissions. I'd say every 5-10 minutes they take a break to set up the next scene and to allow you to buy more drinks and food. Food actually wasn't bad. There are not a ton of seats so the place doesn't feel cramped and you are like right in front of the stage - so no bad seats.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for visiting the Futuristic Show at Samurai Restaurant! We’re really happy to hear you enjoyed the performers and that the opening act delivered the excitement you were looking for. Yes—this venue is in the same location as the former Robot Restaurant, and we’re glad you felt the connection while also noticing how this show has its own theme rooted in Japanese history and culture. We also appreciate your note about the intermissions. The short breaks are designed to reset the stage safely and prepare each scene, and they also give guests a chance to order additional food and drinks. That said, we understand that frequent breaks can feel like a lot, so your feedback is very helpful and will be shared with the production team. Lastly, thank you for mentioning the seating and visibility—being close to the stage with no “bad seats” is something we work hard to maintain. We hope to welcome you again soon!

Very Loud. All things gaudy and delightful. I was laughing and having a great time. Good experience.

Samuri Restaurant Time was a BLAST!!!

Mike_D, Nov 2025

Awesome show! Lights, music and ninja kicks! I had seen some videos online before I went, but nothing prepared me for what I was to witness. The Bento Box meal was a bit of a miss, personally, but the show more than made up for it! Highly recommended.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Dear Mike_D, Thank you so much for visiting and for leaving such an enthusiastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that the lights, music, and ninja action made the experience a blast for you. Even though you had seen some videos beforehand, we’re glad the live performance still managed to surprise you — that’s exactly what we aim for! We’re sorry to hear that the Bento Box meal wasn’t quite to your taste, and we truly appreciate the honest feedback. We will work with the venue to keep improving the meal options. Most importantly, we’re delighted that the show more than made up for it. Thank you again for the high recommendation — it really means a lot to our team. We hope to welcome you back on your next trip to Tokyo! KOIKOI JAPAN TOUR

Bad Ass!! Totally worth it!

Jennifer_M, Sep 2025

This show was so amazing!! My only regret is that I didn't book it sooner on my vacation, so I could come back and see it again before I left Japan. There were some added surprises (no spoilers) that added to the experience. The hosts and waitstaff were great! The performers were incredible and very talented. This is truly a must see experience. If you are a supporter and lover of the Arts. You will love this show. Book your ticket, you won't be disappointed. Venue is cash only, so come prepared if you want extra goodies while there. 10/10 recommend.

Good experience

Victoria_C, Aug 2025

Enjoyed the show and the company sent great instructions. Unfortunately, if you've been to robot restaurant, this show doesn't compare.

Jeffrey, May 2025

The experience was pretty good. It was not as futuristic as advertised. The add-ons were a little expensive.
