imagine food wars, just wholesome and non-sexual. if you're into chill animes without much action then this would be perfect, it's very easy to binge and it also keeps you entertained without feeling repulsive or boring after a while. this probably won't be your cup of tea if you prefer action packed, fighting animes but honestly its worth giving a shot. the food shown looks delicious and maybe you'd even learn a thing or two about dishes by watching it.
the character designs were pretty cute, so were their personalities. they had the right amount of wholesome-ness, and it kind of showed racism (but with species) and overcoming being ashamed of who you are. aletta was a good example, being looked down upon for being a demon but being able to be in a safe space where it doesnt matter and ev…

I went into the anime expecting a good anime which it is in a way just it left a lot to be desired whether it be in my opinion lack of story besides the fact that hey it's a magic restaurant from another world and people love the food which is ok but if you have 12 episodes of pretty much the exact same thing it's not good
In the words of vaas from far cry 3 the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results
Then oh boy the Big ol Inconsistency it's like a man threw a puppy into a lit furnace in front of his family and everyone was ok with it
Then the fact that most of the time it will tell you things with zero explanation and your meant to be oh yeah I get but ultimately you dont get it
Most of the characters were good and I like the character dy…

Isekai is a really trending genre, but at the same time it's becoming a triesome genre, so introducing this anime.
There's nothing much to say in this anime other than it's a restaurant who appears on another world where the customers are knights orcs fairies etc.
there's nothing much into it other than that and it's getting repetitive, but the fun factor here in this anime is how the customers would do to go to the restaurant.
Some will hold a tournament some will find it at random, some will be suspicious, but once they tasted the food their reactions are fun to watch.
However that's the only good point of the story, the rest are just foregttable, even the main characters like Aletta and Kuro the demon girls and the manager, we never get to know any of them and if we do they don't matt…

In a genre that is exploited to every last drop, "Creativity" is a word I would never associate with any Isekai show to a point that it sounds awfully oxymoronic. But even so, once in awhile, there will be an anime that defiles the odds. And I believe the 2017 summer little gem Isekai Shokudou is one of those anime that creatively blends isekai elements to its merit.
One special day a week, every races in all kind of world will have a chance to enter Nekoya, a special restaurant run by a masterful chef. There they can all enjoy a good evening with wonderful foods that they never have a chance to eat. And thus, that is the story we, the viewers, will follow.
With a story like that, Isekai Shokudou is definitely a character-driven show. While its main cast is small, which consists of the m…

I just personally got with it not that long ago, even though, I'm very late for this review with IRL and personal stuff going. However, the character designs, the backstories of the characters, the soundtrack, the setting through out the whole anime, and the whole environment is all top notch.
I haven't personally binge-watched a good anime like this for a few years. This is one my new favorite animes. Being a complete foodie, Isekai Shokudou has definitely made me hungry. All in seriousness though, don't watch this anime when you're hungry. It does have some amazing ideas for making dinner.
10/10 would watch the anime again!

i can't say i'm a big fan of the art style for the characters, terrible late 90's art is more my thing, but the backgrounds are quality and i'm a fan of the character designs. my biggest criticism of the general art is how often the show the women naked, gimme some naked men or don't give me naked people at all ok???
isekai shokudo's cast is, in my opinion, it's biggest strength and biggest weakness. the setup of each episode is: new character eats food, enjoys, becomes a regular, rinse and repeat. i don't feel there's anything wrong with this setup since the characters are varied enough to mix up the episode while still remaining faithful to the formula. the best episode is episode 6 though because it has the entire cast present at that point interacting.
i could do a food comparison…

While it may not seem like much as you start watching, it's actually quite a relaxing anime to watch. Though I will admit, after a couple of episodes in, it did make me get invested in the characters in general, which made me just to want to watch it more.
It also gave me the want to watch more animes where the main plot is about or somewhat about food in general. I'd love to watch more food animes, and it's all because of this.
Not to mention the food as always looks stunning, and the opening is just lovely. Lovely as in I would more than likely listen to it over and over again. A great tune.
Would recommend.

If i explain Isekai Shokudou in a few words, it will be, "Anime that has story with deep fantasy that almost every character is like a child in adult body because when they going beyond that door, they will forget who and what they are."
If somebody ask me, what is your favorite 'relax' anime? I will say without hesitation, "Its Isekai Shokudou"
Now maybe some of you will ask why. I know that this anime is not perfect, but that what makes the anime so remarkable for me. From the first episode you should know what will this anime about. Yes its about restaurant that has 'bar' vibe. But why bar you ask? Well its because the customer always them again and them again, but as the story going we will know that they has a deep deep story that related each other. It is what makes me awe the show.…

Isekai Shokudou was so much better than I expected. At first it does not look really appealing, however I enjoyed it a lot. This anime is perfect for those who want a relaxing time to just enjoy a new world where each episode is filled with new characters to get to know better.
Story: 9/10.
The story is about a restaurant known as the "Restaurant to Another World". A normal restaurant on earth that is connected to another world via a door. This door appears on the day of Satur: aka on Saturday. The door appears in random locations to the other world where people from the other world come to enjoy the food from earth. Each new episode we get to meet different races and people, and we get to know about the story of these people. For each new episode we get to know more about the other worl…

Everyone wants to get the most out of their moment. In an attempt to create new opportunities for their pursuit of bliss, humans seek out numerous things in order to avoid duties. After all, effort leads to fatigue, which is nothing else than a detriment for one's enjoyment, right?
In Restaurant to Another World the viewer follows beings from a typical fantastical setting. It's a world where dangerous foes, social inequalities, and incurable diseases are issues its inhabitants face on a daily basis. Weeks pass, but their demanding lives don't get easier. Be that a life of a gladiator, squaring off against countless enemies to earn his freedom, a sole survivor, enduring a solitary existence on a parlous island, or a stray demon, cast away by the society due to her origin, their lifestyles…

Review #8: Restaurant to Another World
Story 7/10 -- Isekai Shokudou established a soothing SOL/Fantasy presence. In the recent increase of Isekai projects, this anime series took a different approach to most animes that have shared the genre the past couple years. This is a solid SOL cooking anime that involves a mysterious door in the world of fantasy. The fantasy world learns the value of our own worlds cooking, and people from all classes and races enter this restaurant in a place of peace. There are several problems in the fantasy world, ranging from poverty to classism. Although rather then having the main characters become heroes, they instead stay in the environment of the kitchen, believing that a meal is important to soothe the souls that the door allows to wander in. Issues wit…

How much do you love watching a hungry person shine with bliss as they enjoy an outstanding meal? Your answer is probably also how much you'll enjoy Isekai Shokudou.
Most of the time when a story goes far off the tried and true paths of the countless already told it ends up tangled and stumbling but this is a wonderful exception. Seems odd how all it centers around is showing a glimpse of some human, elf, dwarf or other being and their struggles and joys in another world and culminates in their finding of a mysterious door that takes them to a fine but affordable little restaurant in our world where they can forget about their troubles for a while and have the most enjoyable meals of their lives.
At first it just seems like a random bunch of customers but as their numbers increase so do…

Out of all of the serials I watched this season, Restaurant to Another World would have to be one of my favourites. It was feel-good and dangerously hunger-inducing.
In the corner of a local shopping district lies a Western-style restaurant called Yōshuku no Nekoya (Western Cuisine Cat Restaurant). During its business hours, Monday through Friday, it serves normal food to normal folks. The restaurant is normally closed on weekends and holidays. However, on Saturdays it secretly opens its doors to very unique and unusual clientele from some very unique and unusual locales.
The most disappointing part of this entire series was the severe lack of kitty cats. The restaurant’s name has the word “cat” in it. The least they could have given me was a little feline mascot!
I just had to get that…

This anime is a secret gem and if you find it by yourself, considered it as an invitation to one of the greatest show this year.
Forget the "isekai" genre for a second. This is by far one of the most underrated anime this year and I'm gonna tell you guys why you should watch it.
Firstly, It has a similar vibe to another show this year called "Demi-chan wa Kataritai" and if you love that show, you're going to love this.
The story is nothing special and that is a good thing, just because it's an "isekai" genre, that does not mean it should be over the top, a death-defying adventure that we all have seen it all over and over again. It doesn't need it.
The character is so simple, it makes you wanna know more about this world.
Every week is a treat me, we're not only getting new food but n…

After reading the synopsis for Isekai Shokudou, I expected to end up not liking it at all but that's not the case now that I've completed it. If you're looking for a new Slice of Life anime to watch then this would have most of the things you would expect from the genre. There is little to no story progression here but the way the story is presented, with each customer often getting there own little spotlight when they are introduced, makes the story a little more intriguing than your usual Slice of Life anime. Speaking of characters, I think one of the main selling points of the series is the characters. Learning about their quirks, backstory or even just what they were doing on the day prior to reaching to the restaurant is entertaining to see from week to week. Another strong selling po…

Spoiler Free Review
Everyone loves food, it's something we can't survive without. Instead of being a necessary chore that keeps us alive, it's an opportunity for innovation as many chefs around the world are experimenting with ingredients, trying to create the next great dish. Food is made to be eaten and enjoyed, and these culinary artists are the ones allowing us to take joy in our food. Now, Isekai Shokudou is not a show about creating new recipes. All the food showcased in this show are stuff we've seen or heard of before. You won't be seeing much deviation from these dishes, but that isn't technically a bad thing. Isekai Shokudou focuses more on enjoying food than making it, adding an extra spin to the show by having all the customers as people that come from a fantasy world.

Do you like short stories that don't have much of a point but may serve as a nice lighthearted vignette? Do you like watching people gush loudly about how much they enjoy the various types of food that they are eating? Well if so Restaurant To Another World might be for you! If you don't it most certainly won't be.
While Restaurant To Another World has a nice atmosphere and does well to protray a comfy setting, it's only purpose are the two things I mentioned: short meaningless vignettes that can sometimes be heartwarming, and watching people gush over the food that they love eating so much. While it does those two acceptably, there really isn't much else to this story. None of the main characters are developed. They have an episode half or two that gives them a little bit of character bu…

Isekai is a very tiresome genre. Quite honestly with all of the new 'transporting to a new world' adding only one or two arbitrary things in order to make it unique, the concept just appears...lazy. So, now we're gonna transport a restaurant to another world. And...it's actually pretty good. Huh.
Story: There are legends of a strange door that appears all over the world on the day of Satur known as "Western Restaurant Nekoya". Within the door lies an establishment that takes in gold and silver coins in exchange for food not seen or known to others. Marvels like curry, parfaits, and natto that people have never seen before. It is a gift, a strange magical occurrence wrought about by fate. At least that's how I expect someone from the 'other world' to explain whatever's happening.…

The isekai genre is really becoming a hot new trend of recent years. From RPG game settings to being reborn into a fantasy world, it’s a genre that has attracted a lot of attention. One of the biggest shows from last year, Re:Zero really took that to a darker side. It seems these days, isekai focuses too much on fantasy adventures – the typical story involving survival, battling monsters, or forming guilds. Any fan of open world and MMORPG games knows these formulas as they make up a good deal of the gaming market as well. Then, there’s Isekai Shokudou, a show that takes on the isekai genre but formulates it into something much more different.
Also known as ‘Restaurant to Another World’, the series combines elements of fantasy, slice of life, and cooking. Coming into this show, I didn’t o…

"When a strange door appears in front us, we should enter it with curious expectations, but I bet you, it won't be a restaurant."
The restaurant "Youshoku no Nekoya" is known for the different dishes from the menu, but in this case, it is also known by the irregular persons that visit it on the Satur day.
A magical door appears every seven days in different fantasy worlds allowing dragons, elf, dwarfs, human heroes and a select diverse group of lucky creatures to vist a restaurant from other world and taste all flavors that can not be found in their lands.
Your first impression could be "the story is weak and lacks action." However, the story doesn't need action, fights, war, etc. The story's strength is in the attention to the details of the dishes, the feelings about the dishes, the…
