The Dining Room of Link Lee

Introduction

In Beijing, a city full of opportunities and pressures where modernity and traditional culture echo each other, the small pavilion located in a quiet alley at the foot of the CBD is the gathering place where various elements collide and ferment. It has no eye-catching signs and luxurious decoration, making it easy to overlook it when passing by. But familiar guests know that in this small warm space, you can unload the fatigue of the day and enjoy a comfortable time. As a result, there are many dusty stories in everyone's heart quietly flowing out. (Source: Bilibili)

While the animation can appear modest at times, each scene flows naturally into the next, using a range of techniques that keep the visuals consistently engaging. Even with cut-out characters and simpler compositions, it still manages to feel varied and visually…

Overall this was a fairly enjoyable show, it is definitely one of the better Chinese donghua both in terms of the story and the visuals. The artwork was nice. The food looked really tasty and the character designs had a unique and memorable art style. The story followed a somewhat episodic structure, with each 1 to 3 episodes being centered around a character who Lee Link helps. I liked each of the characters, and the drama in each of these mini story arcs was pretty good. I do think it could have been better if Lee Link and his cooking were more of a central focus of the story, though. His role in each character's arc was indirect, at best.
