When it comes down to entertainment, this particular anime is superb. It has a good number of episodes so it's not short lived either. The pace is also kept constant at all times and it never ceases to entertain!

The characters are all very unique - with each of them having some or other hilarious personality traits. This is the first anime I've ever watched where I did not find any single character even remotely annoying or unnecessary. They're all funny, each in their own ways. Especially how they interact with each other; The main character having an insane obsession with anything tiny (such as the main female character - who is very small), an attractive waitress who is terrified of men and physically assaults them on sight, a mysterious chef whom no one knows anything about but has dirt on EVERYONE else, a beautiful blonde waitress that scares customers with the Katana she always carries around, a manager that does nothing except eat.. The list goes on :) Nowhere during this anime did I not enjoy any one of the characters, at all.

However, it must be said that there isn't anything amazing about the story. It's simple, yet, manages to do exactly what is required; that is, make the anime interesting enough to want to continue watching. However, it's the comedy that is the most important. The sense of humor this anime has is somewhat similar to Minami-ke, or SKET Dance. (Personally, that's the feeling I got from it.) A lot of the humor is sarcasm. It is also very witty and sometimes mysterious to an extent. The humor is well thought out, brilliantly paced and even though some jokes are "over-used" - it remains funny all the way through. Other than humor though there are a few other factors (such as "romance") that are in there as well, however, they're all portrayed in funny ways - even if the scene is "serious". Basically, this anime is funny. Very funny. If you want to laugh - Then you won't be disappointed with it.

The only real complaint I have with this anime, if I had to say any, is that there are no more episodes (perhaps, yet?). I would like to have had some more episodes where the backgrounds of some other characters were explained/covered in more detail, and not just briefly touched upon as they were.
