YMMV / Thriller Restaurant

• Fan-Preferred Couple: Suprisingly, even with all those ship tease between Ako and Shou, the most popular ship of the show is Ako/the Garçon. It must has something to do with the ED and the implication that they really have met before.
• Fridge Brilliance: Shou using the bee to defeat Anko's wart. Which makes sense as warts are sometimes lanced. Wart Anko herself alludes to this when the real Anko bites her finger and she mention she almost broke the skin.
• Jerkass Woobie: Reishou is quick to dismiss anything supernatural and sometimes displays a nasty attitude. Then you realize why she has it and then you just want to hug her and tell her everything will be okay.
• Nightmare Fuel: Even children's horror has this trope and Thriller Restaurant is no exception. Now with its own page.
• Nightmare Retardant: Episode 8's main course built up it's story very well and it seems that we will get a scary climax. Instead, the boy does NOT turn around and when he finally sees the demon, it is a chicken with hoofs. Yeah...
• Paranoia Fuel: The dessert course for Episode 2. Namely, the flounder you ate for dinner could've been a person as well.
• Tear Jerker:
  • The appetizer course for Episode 3, "Goodbye." All Michio's ghost wanted was to be number one in Go.
  • Episode 12's main course "Let's Go Together" was sad because of the lonely boy ghost and Anko almost dying
  • Episode 15's main course was also depressing. At least the two dance partners and lovers were reunited in the afterlife.
  • Episode 17's dessert course shows a woman getting a lucky palm and living her life to the fullest before she dies six months later. Turns out the palm reader already knew that she was going to die in six months, so he decided to not tell her that so she could happily live her last days. Heartwarming and depressing at the same time.
  • Episode 18's main course "Reincarnation." It's hard not to cry when Bunta reunites with his past life's parents and catches up with them in his old home.
    • Hell, the dessert course is quite tearjerking itself. The mother dies early but is always there to protect and care for her son, even after his father ends up marrying another wife.
  • The final episode explains why Reishou hates the supernatural: Years ago during a vacation on the beach, her older brother went out for a swim and she fell asleep while waiting for him. When she woke up, he was completely gone and her mother wished that Reishou was the one dead. Reishou is angry because she hasn't been able to contact her brother all this time.
