It has been a nightmare for me, I have spent so much money just to try to pass the levels and when you purchase, sometimes the credit isn’t added to your account. Then when you reach out to customer service, they ask stupid questions or tell you to update even when there is no update available. It’s very stressful. My advice would be not to bother. Very disappointing. ### 3/5 — Forcefully Predictable *2025-01-21, version 2.3.16* Once you get to the 3rd island or map; it forces you to watch ads if you don’t want to pay for gems. A minor few bugs for example the total amount of coins you have shows up before you actually collect it at the end. ### 3/5 — Awesome but buggy *2024-12-16, version 2.3.13* Love the game but it wont load older Restaurants anymore. Will Upgrade to Five starts when fixed ### 3/5 — Love *2024-10-18, version 2.3.5* Love the game but takes way too long to get to the new restaurant! ### 3/5 — Fun but expensive *2024-07-27, version 2.3.5* I really like this game but what kept me from giving it a perfect score is after you’ve completed all the restaurants you have to wait FOREVER for the new restaurant to become available. Until then you’re stuck playing endless mode, and in order to pass the levels you have to constantly buy gems so you can buy the perks (not sure if the correct name for them) to pass the levels. I wish the new restaurants would open sooner because endless mode becomes boring real fast with no end in sight. ### 3/5 — Tăng tiền thu được và tăng thêm level nâng cấp cho pvu *2024-07-13, version 2.3.4* Từ nhũng màn của Janpan số tiền thu về kh tăng đáng kể nên khó tích tiền tăng level đồ. ngoài ra cx cần tối ưu hơn về tăng level cho pvu và thêm tiền tips chặng hạn xoá game vì lý do này, rất khó qua ải về sau. NSX cần chú ý thêm ### 3/5 — Help *2024-06-15, version 2.3.0* This game is fun and relaxing but it does not load your free items even after updating. The daily coins and gems are not loading ### 4/5 — Fun but.. *2024-03-21, version 1.3* It’s really fun and addicting but it gets hard to pay for the upgrades. Also you should consider giving us the opportunity to replay levels that we didn’t perfect. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Levels *2025-12-11, version 2.3.32* Won’t let me play the next restaurant ### 1/5 — can’t play the game *2024-12-16, version 2.3.13* the screen shows only black…. i tried redownloaded but still same error. please fix it, cuz i really like this game. 起動しても画面がただ黒いだけでゲーム出来ません。インストール何度かし直しましたが状況変わらずです。 ### 1/5 — My game *2024-04-02* I’m trying to get into this game but it won’t let me all it’s saying is initializing 20.0% and that’s it. Please fix this problem I have been uninstalling and then installing it over and over but it still won’t let me play this game. **Developer response:** hello, this is a network problem, please wait a little longer, or update your app. ### 1/5 — Bought items *2024-03-28, version 1.3* Paid for a deal of 9000 coins and 260 diamonds..I recieved no coins and not all the diamonds. Contacted them through the app..no reply..no items added..no refund ### 1/5 — Too many *2024-02-24, version 1.1* They’re way too many pop up ads .

Finished the first restaurant, when I opened game today tells me to update game when no update is available. Tried deleting and re downloaded it but same thing. If it’s ever fixed I’ve lost all progress 😡 ### 3/5 — No make sanse *2025-06-29, version 2.3.31* for level 580. Price item all is full but i still minus ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Need map updates asap *2025-09-21, version 2.3.32* Could you please update new maps? PARIS new map have passed already and I can’t wait no longer for new maps ### 5/5 — 검은화면나오고 실행안됨 *2024-12-16, version 2.3.13* 너무 재밋게 하구잇는데 ㅜ 두번째가게 완료됐다하고 검은화멍나오고 안넘어가요 ㅠ 일식당 할차례인데.. ### 5/5 — Gutes Spiel *2024-07-04, version 2.3.1* Ich finde es echt gut. Ist das selbe Konzept wie "happy Diner Story", trotzdem sehr gut ### 5/5 — No update available *2024-06-13, version 2.1* Hi there, I think this is a great game but I cannot find the update for it. ### 5/5 — No subject *2024-06-13, version 2.1* Best cooking game ### 5/5 — Relax mode *2024-03-31, version 1.4* The game it’s fun, but could really be better if it was in relax mode ### 4/5 — 音が消える *2025-05-08, version 2.3.29* 返信:そうです。いつもではないですが、広告のあとに消えます。 楽しくってずっとやってますが、時々音が消えます ### 4/5 — FUN but three small problems. *2024-12-05, version 2.3.12* The game is exactly as you would expect. It is fun and clear what must be done. You only watch ads if you choose to do so. Yay! Problems: 1) It sometimes doesn’t deliver dishes as it should, so it leaves them on your tray. Personally, I don’t realize immediately, so I must go back and figure out where something went wrong. Frustrating in a timed game. I have double and triple checked, so this is definitely not user error. 2) When you upgrade the chefs, and it costs 2000 coins to do so, you expect a larger reduction in time than 26 to 25 or 24 seconds. 3) Prizes your work to obtain in game events are small. I haven’t really seen a use for two of the boosts, so 100 coins or a boost is not worth a worthwhile reward. ### 4/5 — Collecting Money *2024-07-20, version 2.3.5* I feel like it’s take longer than it should to build money causing layers to have to buy undies so they move ahead but I enjoy the storylines of each restaurant ### 4/5 — Need more levels *2024-05-31, version 1.8* Fun game, but I can’t go any further. Needs more levels! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
