Synopsis

The Western Restaurant Nekoya is adored by its local Japanese clientele. The eatery's continued success can be attributed to its tasty western and Japanese dishes, as well as its cheerful head chef, "Master" Tenshu. In Japan, the restaurant appears to be closed on Saturdays, but in actuality, it is the one day that Nekoya transcends to the Other World and opens its doors to guests seeking foreign cuisine. From castles to forests, the "Restaurant to Another World"—as its patrons call it—travels far and wide.

Nekoya's diverse and bizarre clientele can expect to be greeted by one of two devoted waitresses—the courteous demon waitress Aletta, or the enigmatic and elven Kuro. As customers, both old and new, pile into the establishment with stories of their respective lands, Master and his staff ensure that everyone is in for a scrumptious adventure of a lifetime.

This is a full series review, meaning my opinion on both season 1 and 2 are intertwined in this review. This is because I watched them one after another and because there is not enough of difference between the seasons to warrant a separate review.

First of all, let me say that if you’re looking for a relaxed, cozy slice-of-life series with an emphasis on food you’re in the right place with Isekai Shokudou. It’s all very lighthearted and a good way to forget your worries for a bit. I personally also feel the isekai aspect adds some spice into the mix and makes the character ... responses and interactions all the more interesting.

Isekai shokudou starts out with a very strict dish-of-the-week format, and the various types of scenes that you will encounter in each episode follow their set schedule tightly. But just as it starts getting repetitive, somewhere around the half of season 1, this tight format becomes looser and looser while still adhering to the general idea. In essence, the dish-of-the-week format stays but how it is presented varies considerably. Near the end of the series it becomes a lot more freeform and you will get to see more of the fantasy world and not only stuff that happens in the restaurant.

There are always two main points that make up the episode – a combination of dish and character. Often, this means a new dish being served to a new patron. You get to experience some of their story and background and what led them to the restaurant. Because characters are from various nations in the fantasy world, their circumstances differ quite a bit. Some episodes expand upon characters you already know, adding to their story while still managing to introduce a new menu item. Of course, every patron is always pleasantly surprised by their meal. In addition, patrons interacting with one another is a pillar of the series as well and makes the world feel more alive.

Each episode has two halves, centering around a dish each. So even though there are only twelve episodes per season, you actually get 24 stories per season. I feel they managed to present a lot of joy and personality in such a short timeframe. There is no filler or unnecessary clutter.

The visual character designs are quite good and distinctive without being overly detailed or messy. The art and animation and general are fine and easy on the eyes. But where the visuals really shine is in the brief close-up shots of food. Those shots are some of the best views I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching in anime. It really makes me want to eat those dishes myself.

I have little to remark on the sound effects, they did what they needed to do. But the music was calm, cozy and iconic. What I mean by iconic is that whenever a particular type of scene takes place, the accompanying music is there to enhance and reinforce it.

The voice acting was generally very good, with many well-known VAs making an appearance.

In the end, Isekai Shokudou was a particularly enjoyable and memorable watch for me. I might even seek out the light novel source material because the anime was so much fun. In the end, it was the same thing happening over and over again with a “wow, this sure is delicious” response to the food, but it didn’t detract from my enjoyment at all. And if you’re looking for some cozy food and fantasy stories, I can hardly imagine anything better.

isekai Shokudou

is in short a feel good comfy restaurant anime where every person has there own story.

it not over the top or flashy like most anime's now a days.
the art style is pleasing to watch.
story wise it isn't fully focus on food but also the characters that order them and there live out of the restaurant.
its a isekai so a lot of fantasy creatures.

so

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (4/12 eps)

---*** CONTAINS SPOILERS ***---

Part of what made the first season pretty good entertainment, was getting to know the main characters and what led them to work at a restaurant as unique as Nekoya. I enjoyed seeing their love for the place grow as I got further into the season, but it settled down towards the end when the focus became more on the stories of the new customers that got introduced every episode, and less on everything else.

The second season continues this trend of introducing new characters every episode, and focusing the majority of the screentime on them, only to rinse and repeat with new ...
