We had an opportunity to check out Royal/T; a new cafe/gallery recently opened in Culver City. The restaurant is inspired by the meido kissa (maid café) phenomena of Akihabara. It's a place where you can enjoy being "otaku" without being totally creepy because the hybrid space of cafe/gallery/shop is so awesomely cool. Birthday party at the next table.
