Also known as The Dining of Link Lee, The Bistro of Li Linke, or Li Linke’s Little Restaurant had been a fun and heartfelt ride for donghua viewers in 2021 as we follow a small restaurant in the outskirts of Beijing and all the stories that it witnessed.
The Dining of Link Lee Season 2 Announcement

Synopsis
In Beijing, a city full of opportunities and pressures where modernity and traditional culture echo each other, the small pavilion located in a quiet alley at the foot of the CBD is the gathering place where various elements collide and ferment. It has no eye-catching signs or luxurious decorations, making it easy to overlook it when passing by. But customers who are familiar with it know that in this warm little space, you can unload the fatigue of the day and enjoy a comfortable time. As a result, there are many dusty stories in everyone’s heart quietly flowing out.
