### 3/5 — Crashing Issues

*2022-01-21, version 2.5.5*

I love this game, but recently it’s become unplayable. There’s about a 25% chance that the game will be stuck each time I flush the toilet after I use the cleaning gel. The orders will still move but I can’t progress after the toilet activity. I don’t know if the bug arises if I’m flushing the toilet too fast or what, but it’s almost as if the game is begging me to use the toilet reduction upgrades just to prevent the game from crashing. This is extremely annoying especially because each day takes at least 5 minutes, so I’ve lost half a day of money because of this bug.

### 5/5 — Great

*2021-03-23, version 2.5.5*

Still a good game even after 9 years. Stands out from the rest of the stuff that’s on mobile now. Only issue with the game is when flushing a toilet, it won’t let me use the sanitizer and it gets stuck so I have to restart the day. That’s kind of annoying but other than that it’s a fun game that’s worth the price.

### 5/5 — Premium cooking game!

*2020-12-31, version 2.5.5*

Most cooking games hit you with the micro-transactions. That way it’s not about cooking skills and management, but it’s about how much money you spend in the game. With CSD you pay once and have access to all the perks. You unlock upgrades as you advance up the tower. All you need is reading comprehension and tap speed to make the dough! 🍕! Great game need a sequel!

### 4/5 — Pretty darn fun

*2020-10-06, version 2.5.5*

A little tedious, but def worth the money!

### 4/5 — Very fun game

*2020-09-27, version 2.5.5*

The game is very fun but there are 2 glitches that make the game annoying to play. First is when the toilet chore shows up when I finish it the game is stuck on the mini-game and I have restart the whole day. The second glitch is the soup. When i select the lettuce the game cut it with out me doing the gesture which is annoying because when I accidentally select lettuce in recipes that have no lettuce the cut it for me and rune my perfect combos.

  It is still a very fun game that is challenging even with all the glitches. So if you want the experience of CSD but don’t want the glitches go buy it on PC.

### 5/5 — Best Cooking Sim Out There!!!

*2020-07-27, version 2.5.5*

I am a huge fan of the CSD series & firmly believe these games accurately portray the high level of stress one would experience in food service. It’s massively entertaining and challenging without being straight up impossible to master. CSD 1 will always hold a very special place in my heart.

### 5/5 — NO IN GAME PURCHASES!

*2020-05-17, version 2.5.5*

Seriously though, there are none. Pay up front for a great time management cooking game.

### 5/5 — Obsessed

*2020-02-08, version 2.5.5*

I love this game. I have played all dash games I reckon...all the Cooking Dash, Diner Dash, Wedding Dash, Hotel Dash, not to mention at least half the Delicious Emily games...and this is DOPE. Different, but really really good. 
I’d rather pay $8 outright for an honest game than one that constantly tempts you to micropay!! 
Very happy. Thanks :)

### 5/5 — I love the challenge!

*2019-10-10, version 2.5.5*

This game is so much fun!! At first I thought it was going to be slow, but the chores and rush hour is a killer! I'm totally addicted to this game!!

2019 review update:  shout out to the creators of the game for still making the game playable despite not updating it in a while. This game is still as great as it is when I played a few years ago. Ever since Order Up! disappeared, this is the next best thing. Great game!

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2019-09-10, version 2.5.5*

I love this game! I’ve had it for a while on steam, I was chuffed to see that it’s on the App Store too. Great time killer and very addictive. I like games that keep me thinking and constantly busy. Would recommend to everyone!

### 5/5 — like this one

*2019-03-25, version 2.5.5*

I tried to find some game on ipad with restaurant and no ingame payments, this fits just right
everything is nice, but chores should be more easy, less plates for example :)

### 4/5 — Great game but wish you could keep playing the hungry festivities

*2019-02-25, version 2.5.5*

This is great game! Worth the money. The only downside is that after you have achieved the hungry festivity levels you cannot replay them and they are fun. Please can the developer keep them unlocked once they have been completed so that you can keep playing. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Still the perfect game

*2019-02-10, version 2.5.5*

Out of everything, it’s the best game I’ve played. Perfect for iPad, great mechanics, rhythm progression

### 5/5 — Rediscovered

*2019-01-19, version 2.5.5*

I played this awhile a few years ago, and then I got busy in real life. Now I’ve rediscovered it and have become hooked all over again. Thank you for a cool concept!

### 4/5 — Update für neue iPads

*2019-01-09, version 2.5.5*

Super Spiel! Updates für die neuen iPads wäre super.

### 5/5 — so fun

### 5/5 — cook, serve, delicious

*2018-10-25, version 2.5.5*

I bought this game at least 6 years ago it never gets old!  I love building the restaurant and the extra events are awesome too! A MUST HAVE GAME!

### 5/5 — Wow!!  Great game.

*2018-10-18, version 2.5.5*

This is a different game and that is great.  It is all the different things that you would need to do to have a successful restaurant besides just doing the food.  And no continual in app purchases.  Wish there were more games like this!!

### 5/5 — Love

*2018-08-25, version 2.5.5*

### 5/5 — Fun addictive game

*2018-06-24, version 2.5.5*

### 1/5 — Bugs

*2016-06-01, version 2.4.2*

I can't get past 1 star no matter how long I play. I need some catering thing/ event and it just ain't happening.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2015-06-24, version 2.4.2*

I CANT PLAYYYY

### 1/5 — Refund

*2015-03-20, version 2.4.2*

This game is very difficult and not any fun at all, I thought after reading theses reviews from your friends would be honest, it just slides the food around and you click sorry buddy, but not fun. Please refund my money.😖

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2014-06-21, version 2.4.1*

This app keeps crashing on my ipad mini!! Please fix ASAP, else its just a waste of money!! 😭😭

### 1/5 — Great game but crashes constantly

*2014-05-15, version 2.4.1*

So don't bother

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2014-04-18, version 2.4.0*

Fun till it starts crashing on a 32gb fifth-gen iPad.

### 1/5 — Ieuan Walters

*2014-01-24, version 2.2.4*

### 1/5 — PLEASE FIX!!!

*2014-01-11, version 2.2.3*

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2013-11-04, version 2.0.30*

Crashes every single time I play it. Previous reviews saying this seem to have been deleted...

### 1/5 — Second iron cook challenge needs balancing immediately

*2013-01-14, version 1.0.3*

Down to 1 star because the balancing for the iron cook challenges has not been fixed and is ridiculous. I have lead iOS app test teams so am not an amateur here. I've spent hours with this game and have hit an absolute wall with both the American and Italian iron cook challenges. I'm going to have to stop playing this game as I can't advance without beating both of these challenges which is quite frustrating. Big BOOOOOOO! Fix it already. 

UPDATE: the second iron cook challenge (American foods) is literally impossible. This is a balancing disaster. Come on! If even a single player, tester or developer has actually completed this ill eat my own head. I'm not going down completely to one star because I really do enjoy this game and hope that it is fixed.

If you like cooking games or time management games with a heavy cooking theme, you'll really like this. I would give 5 stars but I feel like the UI and certain aspects of the game (such as the strategy of picking certain dishes for certain times of day etc) could use some tweaking and/or more explanation. Overall, I'm really enjoying this but it doesn't feel smooth enough to earn 5 stars just yet.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-06-11, version 2.5.5*

This is a game I return to, time and time again.

### 5/5 — Apple Pencil support

*2024-11-06, version 2.5.5*

I really like this game but my Apple Pencil does not work with it at all.

### 5/5 — Time management without microtransactions

*2024-07-12, version 2.5.5*

Beautiful game, addicting, and doesn’t require in-app purchases.  Must play game!!!

### 5/5 — One of my all time favorite games

*2024-06-20, version 2.5.5*

I’ve been playing this game for about 8 or probably a little bit more, and I never get tired of it. I love everything about it, how immersive it is, the illustrations, the colors, the soundtrack, visual effects etc. it’s so so fun and it has never lagged or given any problems. 

This is a very well designed game, and it’s so fun to play.

### 5/5 — Such a great game!

*2023-11-28, version 2.5.5*

I’ve played all the CSD games on Steam and I love having a touch-screen version! Even though it’s been roughly 5 years since I’ve played CSD1, it still really holds up, especially as a mobile game!

Many thanks to Chubigans and team for all the work they do! 🫶🏻

### 5/5 — This what a game should be

*2023-06-04, version 2.5.5*

No in app purchases designed to loot customers time and money, just pay once and own it and enjoy playing. With App Store full of free to play junk games and no filter like Play Store to find paid games I got this suggestion from a friend who plays on Steam. Please release CCD 2 and 3 on App Store too

### 5/5 — Addictive

*2022-10-23, version 2.5.5*

This is an awesome game. I love it. Best cooking game out there. If I could rate 10 stars I would. Thank you. Hopefully there can be an upgrade to cook 2 orders at same time. That would be awesome.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2022-07-05, version 2.5.5*

This game is the best of its type. Plenty of options to keep it interesting and no microtransactions or ads. Beautifully done. Helps me relax and wind down when I’m overloaded. My thanks to the developers.

### 5/5 — This game is a gem!

*2022-05-28, version 2.5.5*

I’ve been playing cooking dash for months and I got tired of doing surveys again and agin just for getting more free gold. Until I found this gem on someone’s comment on reddit, I truly love this game! No more micro payments or occurring surveys, all I got was fun and joy. Great game design! Would be perfect if the team could work a little more on the UI.

### 5/5 — A Perfect Fit

*2022-02-06, version 2.5.5*

I have this game on Steam, but it’s a natural fit for the iPad. The only issue I’ve found is that when you are cooking a recipe that requires you to swipe and hold (deep fried foods) you cannot multitask and fulfill cooked orders like you can on pc. Would love to see the other games in the series ported as well.
