In the chaotic city of Nolan, there is a strange restaurant. Here, elves share tables with dwarves, orcs are strictly forbidden to make noise, dragons can only sit in the small square in front of the restaurant, and demons even need to bring their own special stools... But despite its peculiar rules, this restaurant always has long queues outside every day. The elves were eating skewers without a care for decorum, the dragons were sitting around a hot pot with strainers in hand, and the demons were eating cute dumplings... "You won't find this food anywhere else on the mainland! The owner is a genius!" One customer commented, then glanced furtively at the entrance: "Also, don't even think about kidnapping the owner or trying to dine and dash, or you'll be in big trouble." "Eat your food, or I'll kill you all." A little girl paced back and forth at the door, speaking in a childish voice, causing the five- or six-meter-tall dragon beside her to shudder.

"In the far East, there exists a strange little shop that has repeatedly refused Michelin three-star ratings. The prices are exorbitant; a bowl of fried rice with soup costs 288 RMB, oh, and it includes a side of kimchi, yet even so, long queues form.
