Natsume Yuujinchou

 ...then you might like
Isekai Shokudou

-easy, slow paced show
-episodic
-a few "main" characters but a focus on side characters
-quality sound track
-a feeling that the show could be very different but consciously chooses to be a simple story that focuses on human interaction and simple feelings.
Both Isekei Shokuduo and Natsume Yuujichou give you a sense of a greater world that what you expect, yet they limit your view into that world. this can either be infuriating or enjoyable and happily both fall in the latter category. If you like one, I would recommend the other as a similar, worthwhile story.
I know Isekai Shokudou feels like Death Parade because it is episodic - each episode 1 or 2 different stories about other characters. But to me the mood feels more happy.
Natsume Yuujinchou and Isekai Shokudou are more similar. Both have fantasy elements: Natsume Yuujinchou the Youkai and Isekai Shokudou the fantasy world and the fantasy characters that visit the restaurant.
There are different stories centered about episodic characters and some of the characters are recurring. Natsume Yuujinchou has the focus on Natsume - the main character. Isekai Shokudou has the focus on the episodic characters. The stories in both anime contain a mix of different moods.
