### 2/5 — Won’t Progress

*2026-07-04, version 2.76.0*

Only 2 restaurants in Brazil will unlock. Spent a lot of time and money on this game and can’t get support. None of the “fixes” suggested online worked. Don’t waste your time or money!

### 3/5 — Glitched and now stuck

*2026-05-16, version 2.76.0*

I love this game but it I can’t play it right now because it’s stuck on the Mexico level. I completed the bbq restaurant but the next restaurant suddenly isn’t built and despite the fact that I have 3 stars on each level. It’s frustrating because I want to play and literally can’t. Too many glitches,

### 2/5 — Bug alert

### 3/5 — Отзыв когда откроете мексиканский ресторан барбекю???

*2025-11-22*

Нравится игра. Минус в том, что обновления редкое явление. Приходится ждать неделями, чтобы перейти на следующий уровень ресторана.

### 3/5 — When are the restaurants going to open

*2025-11-17, version 2.76.0*

### 3/5 — Baustellen

*2025-11-04*

Schade, eigentlich ein ansprechendes Spiel. Aber ich komme nicht weiter, weil in manchen Leveln Restaurants Baustellen sind und man dadurch das Thema nicht beenden kann, Beispiel: Mexico. Muss mir also ein anderes Spiel suchen.

### 3/5 — Turkey 3rd Spot

### 1/5 — Recently stopped working

*2025-08-31, version 2.73.0*

Have invested a lot of time and money into this game, suddenly it’s stopped working and will not update! I’m quite far in the game, currently on a veg restaurant and the game is completely blacken out and although the timer is running out there are no graphics, such a shame as I loved this game!

### 4/5 — Fix the problems please

### 2/5 — Gut aber hängt leider

*2025-08-11*

In der tuerkei Im dritten level gibt es nur einen blauen bildschirm seit monaten


In Level 2-1 Brasilien komme ich leider nicht weiter. Man kann hier kein Getränk servieren da man nichts anklicken kann. Und hier kümmert sich auch irgendwie keiner darum, dass es behoben wird. Sehr schade.

### 1/5 — Cheating

*2025-07-31, version 2.73.0*

Does not give boost win they are collected in mini games

### 3/5 — ❤️🎉😩💕🎂🍹😂

*2025-07-24, version 2.73.0*

Cooking Journey is a fun game but as soon as you put it as you like, want to play something they just act it just comes with a different. It just comes with a lot of things that you want some to buy and for them if you could change their girls clothes but ice. I got that I got this last year and I said I only have two stores open and, and I never even got to open up a new dress and give it a three star because it’s kind of like it’s a fun game it’s fine. You just have to pay for stuff and I don’t like that because because my mom doesn’t some stuff for 299 which is three dollars which is I don’t like some things are like 999. I don’t like that I don’t like I like the game. I just give it three star.

### 1/5 — Game is starting to get stuck

*2025-06-16, version 2.73.0*

I have been playing this game for many years and I hav been paying for many corns. Now the game is starting to get stuck and it’s  no way to contact you. Evertime I hit contact it won’t allow me to. I have spent to much money for not to be getting any thing out of it. If this problem continues I’m going to have to let this game go. And I will. I have stop playing game for far less problems than this and I know I have spent a lot of money on this game

### 1/5 — Glitches

*2026-02-14, version 2.76.0*

This game glitches frequently it gives you a message that you threw away food when clearly you haven’t. Also it’s impossible to find an email to address the issue with Admins. Don’t play don’t download.

### 1/5 — Make No Purchases! Player Beware!

*2026-01-26, version 2.76.0*

I purchased the so called “starter kit” and the purchase went through and told me “I’m set to go” it spent around for awhile as if it was sending my purchase, but after it stopped I receive nothing.  I texted customer support and received no response and I’m still waiting. If I do not hear from them, I will never play this game again and any other games recreated by this group. I think giving a one star is more than what it deserves! If I can change it, I’d give it NO stars! I warn “Player Beware!”

### 1/5 — Problem in Brazil

*2026-01-11, version 2.76.0*

I finished the first 2 buildings, but I’m unable to open the next. What’s wrong. I contacted customer support but no reply. Please advise.

### 1/5 — Sad

*2025-12-13, version 2.76.0*

When are y’all gonna solve the problem?

### 1/5 — Kein Weiterkommen-Baustellen

*2025-12-10*

Leider kommt man nicht weiter, da Baustelle (Mexiko) nicht fertiggestellt wird. Ärgerlich!

### 1/5 — To many ads!!!

*2025-11-22, version 2.76.0*

Makes the game unenjoyable

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2025-11-18, version 2.76.0*

No more restaurants.

### 1/5 — Cheating

*2025-10-23, version 2.75.0*

Does not give boost win they are collected in mini games

### 1/5 — Много рекламы, нет сюжета

*2025-09-22*

Рекламы много, отключить её стоит приемлемых денег, но образ героини смена внешнего облика тоже за деньги, неинтересно так. В игре нет никакого сюжета, вообще. Поиграла пару уровней и удалила. Не советую, в этом жанре есть намного лучше игры.

### 1/5 — Not loading

*2025-09-06, version 2.73.0*

I need u to fix games not loading nothing but blue screen. Fix please it’s been like this for 3 days.
