Reviews

Gluttonous 2 has received mixed to positive reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, it holds a rating of approximately 6.2/10, indicating a generally favorable reception among viewers who appreciate culinary-themed storytelling. Critics on Rotten Tomatoes have noted the film's strong visual appeal and its authentic depiction of Japanese food culture, though some mention that the plot can feel somewhat episodic and lacks the emotional depth found in other food dramas. For example, a review on AsianMoviePulse praised the movie for "its impressive culinary sequences and the passionate portrayal by Gamon Kaai" but added that "the narrative occasionally meanders, making it a light rather than profound experience." Metacritic does not list an official score, but user reviews reflect admiration for the cultural insights the movie provides, balanced by critiques about pacing. Overall, Gluttonous 2 is celebrated primarily for its gastronomic delights and cultural charm rather than for its story complexity.
