 But it's really bland and doesn't feel earnest at all.

Japanese people really like food and really love their own food and I can't find that kind of niche (or I'm not looking hard enough) where fictional people really loving love their booze and chow in Western media outside of certain movies or just straight up cooking shows from Youtube and television.
That is true, Japan has made an art of going insane over food, whether it is deserved or not. On the other hand, you have the third chapter's character, who is a pale imitation of the antagonist from Ratatouille, going through the same forgotten-childhood beats while losing himself to the taste of Napolitan while referencing bolognese and puttanesca. The former is not going to be better, except if this was to be nothing but back-patting for Japanese/izakaya food.

Ugh, that sounds like such a wankfest.
Also the art on the food is really boring and naming it after Nobu is really embarrassing. But the waitress girl is cute.

What would be a better story would be that eager knight following the chef or the assistant into the modern world and going in-depth on a food journey. A medieval palate trying WcDonald's could be fun. Then again, that isn't going to be KARAAGE OISHII~~~~~

A fat man with a Poirot mustache:

 No, but I will not be surprised when it happens in a later chapter.
