| The Mail on Sunday (UK)Jason SolomonsThe clothes are beautiful and the set design exquisite in their Japanese minimalism but, despite the sweet-natured tale and attractive performances, it's the grub that wins out. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawThe film has an unforced confidence in its pacing, its performances and its production design. A tasty snack, rather than a meal. |
| Time OutTrevor JohnstonIf only the film shared the old chef's genuine passion, this might have been one to savour. |
