It seems to me, one of the common theme in this show is how people associate food with their life experiences. The food are fairly simple, but its the emotion and memories that you keep with that makes the tastes extra special.
As far as I can tell, the series was broadcast has 2 seasons. As I only watched the DVD that comes in 2 packages, 1 and 2. Each is around 24min or so. It tells the stories that happen in a tiny restaurant that opens from midnight to dawn. Where the limited menu is augmented by customer request that the master (and only) chef can accommodate.
What is so endearing is the characters, they are not really quirky, but are struggling each in their own way. The season 1 stories are more sad,while season 2 adds more external shots and humour.
I like the mumbling guy who occasionally say a few philosophical lines. And the last story of the 2nd season actually ends up to be story about how he came to be. Very poignant.
Overall the tone of the entire series is low key but well thought out.
