"Warning - This Film Contains Graphic Violence". Not really a shocker, is it? I mean, what other reason would someone have for watching a Japanese movie titled Cruel Restaurant, than to see just that - graphic violence.

The best bistro in town becomes the setting for a most gruesome mystery in this tale of culinary insanity that will have viewers thinking twice before they reach for that second delicious dumpling. The new dumpling house is open for business, and the super-secret filling is driving the customers wild. So wild, in fact, that they're beginning to display some rather disturbing behavior. When the same customers who will kill to get a taste of their favorite new treat begin to go missing and the police receive reports of random body parts washing up on a nearby shore, however, outwardly likable restaurant owner Lin quickly becomes a person of interest to the suspicious authorities. Just what kind of cruel secrets does Lin's coveted recipe book hold, and what kind of meat is that cooking in the pot on the burner, anyway?
