### 3/5 — 많이 아쉬운 시리즈

*2025-04-20*

초반 템포가 써니 캠프 스토리보다 더 느린게 문제. 보통 느려도 2년차 후부터는 성장의 맛이 느껴져야 하는게 4~5년차가 되도록 유저가 조용히 지켜만 봐야함. 초반에 돈도 쥐꼬리 만큼 벌리고 레시피 얻는 속도도 느려서 음식 찾는 재미가 심하게 반감됨. 음식을 만들어서 경연을 하거나 하는 개념이 없는 것도 아쉬움. 게임 컨셉 자체는 매력적이나 유저를 후반부까지 끌고 갈 힘은 없는 게임.

### 4/5 — Solid Restaurant Management

*2024-08-11, version 2.19*

This is a solid restaurant management sim. The gameplay is good patrons come and sit down, order and will served by your staff. Your waiters and waitresses will take the orders and your Chefs will cook it up. It’s enjoyable to watch and see your business progress
Where there needs to be improvements:
The economy is very unbalanced. Ingredients are costly, hunting for ingredient's is limited in what you find. 
There needs to be better tracking of how your restaurant is doing: All dishes served, customer satisfaction etc
Progression is very slow after several years, it is not easy to unlock and discover recipes/furniture etc, and patrons feel limited and do not fill up your restaurant 
That said, the game is very fun and very replayable

### 4/5 — Fun but slow to play

*2024-02-20, version 2.19*

### 1/5 — 환불좀

*2020-12-28, version 2.06*

### 3/5 — Same routine

*2020-07-04, version 2.06*

The game is nice but very simple and it gets boring. Bought the full version and its not really worthit.

### 5/5 — วิธีเปลี่ยนภาษาไทย

*2020-04-25, version 2.06*

สำหรับใครที่เปลี่ยนเป็นภาษาไทยไม่ได้ ให้ทำตามนี้นะครับ

1. เลือกสัญลักษณ์รูปโลกมุมขวาบนหน้าจอ
2.เลือกภาษไทย ( ตรงนี้ไม่ต้องกด add หรือ install )
3. กด close ปิดหน้าต่างคำสั่ง ตัวเกมจะทำการ reset ใหม่
