Midnight Food Store () is a 2017 Chinese television series adapted from the Japanese manga series Shinya Shokudō. A co-production between Mainland China and Taiwan, the series is directed by Taiwan's Tsai Yueh-Hsun and stars Huang Lei as the Master, and features numerous celebrities in cameo roles as guests. The series aired from 12 June to 30 June 2017 via Beijing TV and Zhejiang TV.
Unlike its predecessors, the series was widely panned by the audience and received a rating of 2.3, the lowest-ever rating for a television show on Douban. It was criticized for its rigid adaptation, failure to include Chinese elements, excessive product placement, and unrealistic characters and stories.
Synopsis The story follows a mysterious chef and his late night restaurant which open from midnight to dawn. There are no fixed items on his menu, but the Master will take orders from any customer and cook up whatever they ask for. As the Master cooks, his patrons tell him their life stories.
