Absolutely charming - what seem like unrelated vignettes blend into a wonderful story of a small community of interesting people. Humane and heartwarming.
You really have to watch the whole thing because how it fits together is subtle and revealed slowly, episode by episode. It's possible to watch just one episode at a time, but you'll want to re-visit this restaurant again as soon as possible. This really ranks as one of my all time favorites. The dishes that the people request each has a personal story, and these are eventually woven into the overall story. This isn't a boy-meets-girl with a tight (and predictable) plot, it's more like a series of short visits with people you'd like to know better. A great show for anyone wit the patience to pay attention and come back over and over.
