### 5/5 — Food Disappearing Quickly But Coins Not Adding Up.

*2023-07-20*

Ok so I love this game and my literal only complaint is that I will spend DAYS with my door blocked accumulating food. And I mean I’ve gone a full week several times not opening my door. And when I feel the food has accumulated enough, I will open the door. But go back into the game within the same hour and all or most of the food be gone but not having received the money I should’ve received for the amount of food that is no longer there. I’ve done this a lot of times and this last time (kept door closed 3 days. 25 counters all with thousands or tens of thousands of servings each. There was 2 or 3 that only had a couple hundred. Before I opened the door I added up all the servings on each counter and it came out to be exactly 113, 692 total). I screen recorded me checking each counter with how many servings each had. This was at 2:04pm EST. At 2:47pm EST I went back into the restaurant to see over half my counters empty but roughly only 150k increase in my earnings. I know different foods cost different prices but there’s no way that adds up the way it should. I have the screen recordings for both when I checked before opening the door, including the date and time as well as when I went back to check 43 minutes later also including date and time. Idk if it’s a bug or what but it happens often and I think it needs to be fixed.

### 5/5 — Oddly fun but time consuming

*2023-07-20*

I have been playing for years and, despite the fact that I hit the max level years ago, I’m still enjoying adding friends, communicating with them and making food.

I do find the tasks have been really hard to finish without using money. They are doable—if you play constantly, which I don’t. I play about 5 times a week, which is quite a bit and rarely get to the second appliance.

I’d love to be able to click a button and clear all my tables which would be a huge timesaver. I’d also like to be able to finish tasks more often (maybe fewer items to cook?) Or make it easier to get the appliance in the first place. I have a lot of friends but my gifts are often full so it takes days to finish the appliance. I figure I need about 5 to get to the second appliance. Thanks for highlighting the items, too. Maybe you could have tabs for stoves, grills and ovens so it’s a little easier to find them?

I do enjoy this game but find myself having to take breaks because it is so time-consuming. I have the exact same feedback for Bakery Story.

### 5/5 — Game prevent me from going to next level

*2023-07-18*

I love this game but I can not buy block the next level I’m guessing it’s Australia or Austria it freezes all the time.

### 5/5 — It’s too much.

*2023-07-18*

The game is fun, but I think I will have to quit it. 2 ads after every level is way too much. They’re not even 30 second ads either.

### 5/5 — You Won’t Regret It

*2023-07-13*

A wonderful little game, very easy to play and actually very relaxing. It’s not like those other dash games out there, which can get quite crazy. Even the frenzy that occurs occasionally just adds that extra dash of adrenaline to the otherwise easy going pace. More importantly, play it for the storylines. Every customer attached to the diner has a story, and every story touches your heart. I literally cried by the last, even though I sort of guessed it was coming.

One of the best games ever. Kudos to the developer! 💕💕💕

### 5/5 — Heartwarming & Worth Your Time

*2023-07-13*

This is easily my favourite game of all time. The gameplay is really simple, there’s no need to pay for tokens or anything of that sort, and it has a really wholesome theme going on. Even after I’d completed the game, I still find myself going back to make food for the diners. I genuinely miss the conversations with the customers and although the endings are great, I wish there was an update of some sort to be able to continue interacting with them and hearing their stories. Overall, a really lovely game :-)

### 5/5 — Give it time, it’d stir your heart

*2023-07-13*

When I first started this game, I found it slow, I dreaded the waiting and was on the verge of quitting it but with some spare time on my hands, and so taken by the Japanese dishes on the menu, I decided to go back to it and I kept going back. It’s a beautiful game that encourages you to progress slowly, conversations with patrons open up, relationships are forged, familial bonds are being reflected on, and in the end, food becomes a way to trigger remembrance and reflection and to dispense care and kindle closeness. A beautiful game that’s not just about serving the customers as fast as possible or reaping the highest score, the motivation here lies in working towards unraveling the narrative - a bittersweet and tender story. Highly recommend for those who enjoy something with a story and who would like for life to slow down a little, like with the game.

### 5/5 — Made me cry

*2023-07-13*

I never bother to leave reviews for apps unless they’re really terrible. But this one is so good! Honestly, the ending just made me cry. I hope the developer keeps making more games like this. The storyline is really heartwarming. I kept playing because I was really curious about all of the characters’ stories and also Grandma’s story. Really tugs at your heartstrings. A huge step up from the developer’s previous games like Showa’s Candy shop, which kind of got boring after a while. Love it! Only bad thing I can say is.. I wish the game didn’t have to end! It was too good! But I suppose it has to have an ending to the storyline and characters somehow.

- energy replenishes quite fast, doesn’t take long at all. Which is fantastic!

- money is easy to earn so upgrades are quite easy to get once you’ve unlocked a number of recipes it makes money come in faster

- simple but not at all boring

- the unlocking of recipes and levelling them up gives you motivation to keep playing because you need to unlock certain recipes to unlock parts of different character’s stories.

- ads aren’t annoyingly popping up all the time

- does not require you to pay or buy anything to make the game playable or easy

- each storyline was intriguing and heartwarming

- graphics are so cute! Sound effects too.

### 5/5 — 容易上手的一款游戏

*2023-07-13*

真的好好玩，容易玩上瘾。无聊时可以打发时间，很好玩的一款游戏。

### 5/5 — Good game but stuck at silver 3

*2023-07-13*

Hi i really i love this game- it keeps me up at night seeing how well my hotpot restaurant is running! My only issue is that i'm stuck at silver 3 due to the high service staff level and there are no more staff to recruit and the only way is to upgrade all the staff which require too many books! please fix this bug! thank you developers i love u
