Influences

After premiering of the first season on 22 July 2017, the canned bacon, labeled "SPAM", sold out in Mainland China online shopping in several hours, which Vicky Zhao bought in a Thailand supermarket and cooking in the show.[3] After premiering of the second season on 20 July 2018, the white stork toy sold out in Mainland China online shopping in several days, which repeated Vicky Zhao's words in the show.[4]

Controversy

There is a plagiarism controversy over Chinese Restaurant that its format is very similar to tvN's Youn's Kitchen in Korea.[5] Na Young-seok, producer of Youn's Kitchen responded that "The format is not expensive to purchase. If they purchase the format, I can help them on specific details as well."[6][7]
