Being new to this sort of Cafe, I entered very intimidated. Upon entry, I stuck out like a sore thumb, apparently, as many of the patrons just stared at me for not knowing what to do or how to act upon entry. If this sounds like how you might enter this place, this review is for you!
1 - Just walk in and grab a seat wherever one is available. Don't worry about being seated, or greeted. Mostly all the waitresses here are scantily clad, in lingerie or a bikini, so they're not going to go out to the entry area and show you to a seat.
2 - You'll get a complimentary iced green tea just for stopping in, so don't order that. They'll also come around and refill that drink for you throughout your stay, and it'll be expected that you tip them for doing so (so do it). If you don't know what you want to drink, besides the complimentary tea, just ask for a drink menu. I ended up wasting the poor waitresses time by asking her the very noob-like, "What do you think I'd like?" (Ugh, I wish I could take that question back). Anyway, I ended up with a strawberry smoothie type drink which was waaaay too sweet for me.
3 - Look around, nobody will mind. I found myself staring at my phone for the first 20 minutes I was there. I was afraid to look up and enjoy the televisions or atmosphere, for fear someone would think I wasn't behaving correctly for this establishment. The truth is, the women here want to be seen, and they want to be tipped for allowing you to see (so again, do it).
4. A lot of guys play Keno here. So if you're into gambling, you might want to brush up on how to play Keno, and play it here. It might be fun for you.
5. I think it kind of goes without saying at places like this, but I'll say it anyway: no photos or video. I didn't take any on my visit, but I noticed that when I was on my phone at length, some of the waitresses would walk behind me to make sure I wasn't taking photos or videos. I have this bad habit of holding my phone up in front of my face, with elbows on the table when I type emails and such, so I get their suspicion.
6. Bring something to do! A lot of guys in here were just lounging around, chatting. Others were playing card games (like Magic or something), while others were playing poker. Still others were merely playing on their tablets.
7. These cafes are some of the few places left in California where they let you smoke - and mostly everyone who comes here, most definitely smokes. If you're allergic (like I am), take your allergy medicine before walking in. read more
