Table for Six received 11 nominations including The Best Director and The Best Production Design from the 41st HK Film Awards. Director Sunny Chan is known for his sitcom writing skills. He portrayed the emotions and conflicts of a family in a lively and delicate manner. The characters of the three brothers and their three girlfriends have unique personalities and distinct tastes. The film's detailed and exquisite art design is full of everyday life traces and the untiring efforts of the production team. In the post-screening talk, Irving Cheung, Production Designer of Table for Six will be invited to discuss the uniqueness and importance of film arts with the students. She will also share her thoughts on production design and how she transformed a unit of an old industrial building into the home of three brothers.

It is often said that food and meals bring families together. To Steve, the oldest of the three bachelor brothers, nothing is more satisfying than dining with his two younger half-siblings Bernard and Lung. To prepare for a family reunion dinner, Steve seeks the help of Lung's girlfriend and foodie Josephine and in doing so, wins back his brothers’ hearts for a while, until his ex-girlfriend and Bernard's new girlfriend Monica shows up. That's a recipe for a disaster waiting to explode. In order to cool the awkward situation, Steve invites his part-time girlfriend Meow to join the dinner. Table for three changes to table for six, they came to understand the saying "Everything goes well in a harmonious family" in love, hate, tears and laughter.
