  • Ethnic Scrappy: The Chinese characters are portrayed as unhygienic, cunning, addicted to gambling, and they wear clothing from the Qing Dynasty.
  • Heartwarming Moments: The man with a tooth problem taking pity on a lone boy who isn’t allowed to have sweets and giving his ice cream to the latter.
  • Ho Yay: Pisken's expression as Goro rides off at the end.
  • Squick: The movie may be about visualizing and contextualizing food in a mouthwatering way, but some scenes are pretty unappetizing.
    • The sexual use of food for the erotic sketches can be pretty wince-inducing.
    • The closeup of a pig’s freshly severed head.
    • A live snapping turtle being slit open from its neck to drain blood for a cooking demonstration.
