Quotes
“The concept of Restaurant to Another World is, as the title tells you, is that, uh, the main driving plot to the series is that there is a mysterious restaurant where five days of the week it is a western cuisine restaurant located in Japan.”
“And yet most of the people in this other world will never know this restaurant exists. And it’s all because a few lucky random people accidentally discover these portals that give them access to this restaurant.”
”It’s unclear from my limited research as to whether this novel series has actually been completed in Japan or if the author is still writing them or if they’ve just gone on hiatus or quit or whatever.”
