For his feature debut as a director, Tony Leung Ka Fai chose to adapt Yaro Abe’s celebrated manga series Shin’ya Shokudo, from which have already been derived a Japanese TV series in four seasons, two Japanese feature films, a Korean TV series, and a Chinese TV series.

Though the chef (Tony Leung Ka Fai) is central, we follow his clients’ stories – he’s the only connection between them.
