    Ok, not as good as the Japanese original.
    Having seen all of the Japanese original that I loved, I watched this out of interest. And... it's OK. Like the American office is also ok, but not as good as the British one, it depends whether you want some more of what you enjoyed. This movie mixes and intertwines stories already done in the Japanese, with a bit of extra too. Not a spoiler, this one explains how the chef got his facial scar, only hinted at in 50 episodes and movie in the other. What makes all the Midnight Diner so strangely compelling is that like the master chef, you do come to care about these very ordinary people and their stories.
