But I struggle to figure out the takeout order sometimes repeat until I get it, but it is a waste of cooking energy. I think helpful hints like with the ramen making would help. I earn points for the ramen even if a mistake is made. I love the design of the game and music, other change would be that grandpa I find still cook slow after buying the stove upgrade. I hope you read my review, and consider the suggestion! ### 5/5 — 초밥 *2026-02-21* 다음 게임에서는 추억의 초밥 식당 해주세요❤️ 자꾸 초밥이 생각나서 플레이하고 싶어요 ### 5/5 — 과금없이할수잇음 *2026-02-14* 기승전결 레전드 게임조작법도 진행자체도재미있지만 스토리가 탄탄하고 감동 있어서 최고임 ### 3/5 — Redundant *2026-02-12* The start is fun! But if you keep playing it’s the same thing over and over again. Upgrades are slow! Even the custom ramen tab is slow. ### 4/5 — 料理のスピードが遅くなりすぎ(ネタバレあり) *2026-02-09* 今作は料理のスピードを上げられる要素があるのですが、最大まで上げても全く速くありません。比較したわけではないですが、最大まで上げてなお体感では歴代最遅かも… 今作は特に投げっぱなしの個別エンドが多い…UMAオチ多くないですか？こんなに出すんだからグランドシナリオにも関わってくるのかなと思ったらまさかの一切関係なし。今までのお坊さんをリストラしてまで新キャラの巫女が出てきたのもあり、この子が今回のキーパーソンになると思っていたのですが…(一応結末への伏線にはなってるけど) 今回のは破綻した親子関係の修復がメインテーマであり、それに関係のないキャラは本筋には関係ないということなんでしょうが、それにしてはエンジニア親子の影は薄いしなんとも言えない… ところで短くとも5歳までは関東圏で育ったはずの人って関西弁で喋るんでしょうか？ ### 5/5 — Best game *2026-02-08* Very good game but too few stories and no more updates. Please continue updating the game to have more quests and stories. ### 5/5 — 広告非表示課金するべき *2026-02-06* 初っ端に課金したので表示頻度とかは分からないけど、このシリーズで広告はノイズすぎるからたった680円だし絶対に購入した方がいい 客同士で関係性があるのがいいね もっと客の人数が多いと予想外の展開が増えてもっともっと楽しくなると思う。 ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-01-19, version 1.0.1* Such a cute and simple game! ### 5/5 — Awesome Game :) *2026-01-19, version 1.0.1* I’ve been a fan of these games for years. Some of the lines in the games have stuck with me for years :). I do want to let the developers know that there is a tiny mistake in one of the delivery orders for the man in the trench coat. It just shows the wrong food type symbol. It’s a pretty easy order to figure out despite that. ### 5/5 — Best game ever! *2026-01-14* This game is so adorable and heartwarming. It is also a lot of fun to unlock different dishes. I love the new feature where you get to make different ramen types based on customer’s request. ### 5/5 — 질문 있어용 *2026-01-07* 안녕하세요 시리즈 나올 때마다 재밌게 하고는 있는데, 늘 궁금한게 엔딩은 보았는데 식당레벨 만렙 올리고 모든 메뉴를 만렙으로 올려도 더이상 뭐가 없는게 맞나요? 모든 메뉴 해금해서 엔딩은 나왔으나 모든 메뉴를 만렙으로 올리는 것도 의미가 있는건지 궁금합니다 엔딩을 봐도 돈은 쌓여가고 손님은 계속 오는데 뭔가 더 플레이할것이 있으면 좋겠어요ㅠㅠㅠ 설비를 더 구매하거나 ㅠㅠ ### 5/5 — Soothing a hungry heart *2025-12-27, version 1.0.1* Even with the same core gameplay, it’s still loads of fun and the stories are still very heartwarming and unique. I’ll happily keep supporting these games as long as you guys keep releasing them. ### 5/5 — Calming restaurant sim with good characters, art, and food! *2025-12-27* I’ve played many restaurant sims, but have rarely enjoyed one as much as this one. The gameplay is calming and you don’t feel rushed, and the art style is very cute. The storylines and characters are interesting and feel like people, albeit ones with suitable amounts of drama. And now I have approximately 70 Chinese and Japanese dishes to try! Good chill game for a few minute stress breaks ### 3/5 — 요즘 광고가 좀 선을 넘은 것 같습니다.. *2025-12-21* 진짜 예전부터 이 시리즈 게임들 즐겨서 해왔는데 요즘 레벨 거의 막바지까지 가서 그런건지 그냥 바뀐건지 광고가 너무 많이 뜨고 하나당 기본 15초는 봐야됩니다. 그리고 티비로 뭐 좀 하려하면 길게는 120초까지도 걸리고요, 기본 두개씩 봐야되더라고요?? 사실 뭐 광고 두개는 진짜 참고 넘어간다해도 기본적으로 뜨는 광고가 엄청 많은데 3-4초 안에 넘어가지도 못하면 이건 좀 너무한거 아닌가요 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Chinese or Japanese *2026-04-18* As a long time enjoyer of the Hungry Hearts series, I’m deeply disappointed by this installment. I was deterred from trying this game for months partially due to my busy schedule and the one bad review that said the ramen making system was difficult without a guide. Just yesterday I finally decided to give the game a try as my schedule finally cleared up a bit and now I really wish I hadn’t. It seemed like the typical hungry hearts game format wise, and it wasn’t until a few hours in that I started noticing all the Chinese recipes in the book and how occasionally some characters would refer to the restaurant as a “Chinese” restaurant, even when it’s clear the setting is Japan and the elderly owners are also Japanese. If you’re going to add Chinese recipes to inflate your recipebook then at least say that the food’s origin is Chinese in the description of the food (some were labeled, most not). If you wanted to incorporate Chinese dishes, why not make the restaurant and the setting Chinese too? As someone that’s Chinese, I’m just disappointed after having played and enjoyed so many of your games. ### 1/5 — So many ads *2026-01-08* I hate that it has so many ads. Its fun but the random pop up ads are so annoying ### 1/5 — 进不去 *2025-12-08, version 1.0.1* 进不去啊啊啊啊啊黑屏 ### 1/5 — Now time for a commercial break!🤣🤣 *2025-10-28, version 1.0.1* Take the mandatory ads out, deleted as soon as it popped up. ### 1/5 — Forced Ads *2025-10-27, version 1.0.1* Always shown as bar, and spontaneous forced video ads. Easy delete. ### 2/5 — 黑屏 *2026-03-27, version 1.0.1* 苹果12打开黑屏🥹玩不了不知道为什么 ### 2/5 — 少しがっかり *2026-03-15* たった1日半でコンプリートしてその後何か隠し要素あるのかと思い、レビュー等見たらまさかの何もないようで。 時間を無駄にするところでした。ストーリー性、ゲーム性は面白くて広告も許容範囲のペースなので、もう少し練った方が良いかと。 これでは課金する必要もさらさらないですしね。 ### 2/5 — 광고 보고 또 보고 *2025-10-28* 광고 보면 또 나와요ㅠㅠ 거의 3분에 한 번씩 나오는 것 같은데 너무 심하네요 광고로 수익 얻는다는 것까지는 ok 근데 진짜 너무 많이 나와서 게임이 진행이 안돼요 ### 2/5 — Impossible Raman Combos *2025-10-25* It’s fun but impossible ramen combos. You get to a point it ask for oils such as chili oil for example or sesame oil but no clue or help on how or where to get this. It’s pretty impossible. Even tried to good and Reddit the answer after trying for so long and no one has a clue. I love these games but seriously what the heck. Done from here but it was really fun up until that point I guess. Only reason I gave it two stars. Also like another complainant..can’t upgrade or spend the accumulated funds anymore past a certain point and still stuck with low energy bar. It would be nice to spend it on that. ### 2/5 — …… *2025-10-13, version 1.0.1* The game has introduced a new ramen system, but the tutorial is really poorly done. Neither clicking nor pulling in ingredients works. Only the arrow animation keeps telling you to add ingredients, but neither clicking nor sliding the screen doesn't work. I really don't know what to do... Clicking will only lead to the material selection stage, but touching the screen and then sliding the screen image won't work either. The ingredients remain motionless... Clicking on ramen only leads you to the ramen selection stage... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My Favorite Hungry Hearts Game! *2026-07-23* I have every Hungry Hearts game Gagex comes out with, and this is my favorite so far! It is at least partially because the Ramen counts as a “rice” dish (first course). In previous late games, it gets hard to make 3 dishes for customers that aren’t Max level yet because you quickly run out of rice dishes. The addition of Ramen dishes counting as rice/1st dishes helps balance that out. I was afraid they’d count as main course (2nd) dishes as that’s where the rare ramen item was located in previous games. Glad to see that’s not the case here! Like another reviewer commented, the Ramen recipe developing system is a bit frustrating/confusing. Took some trial and error (and using the hints) to figure out some of those recipes. Also a litte disappointed I couldn’t make my own ramen recipe dish, nor could you make a ramen recipe before a customer requested it. You could see Chive Ramen in the recipe book, for example, but couldn’t actually develop the recipe until the customer requested it. ### 5/5 — 제일 좋아하는 게임 시리즈 *2026-05-16* 나올때마다 하고있어요 광고 좀 거슬리긴 하는데 걍 돈쓰면 해결되니까 ㄱㅊ 다음 시리즈는 라면 만드는 파트 더 디벨롭해서 나와도 좋을 거 같아요 새로운 요소라 더 재밌게 했습니다 ### 5/5 — 好玩 *2026-04-28, version 1.0.1* good game ### 5/5 — 다음 시리즈 기다리고있어요! *2026-03-19* 너무 취향저격 게임이라 다 깨고 지우고 또 다른게임하고 몇번째인지..!다음시리즈 빨리 내주세요 화이팅!👍🏻👍🏻 ### 5/5 — A great game *2026-03-18* I have played hungry hearts over the years and I have always loved it! It really is just so cozy and relaxing to play. I love this newest addition with grandpa! It is so charming and I love the art and characters. Really good job to the developers and all who worked on this game! ### 5/5 — 本当に感動した😭👏✨ *2026-03-17* 前から昭和シリーズは何個か遊ばせて頂いてるんですけども、本当に毎回最後まで遊んでもホッコリするし、その名の通り「心にしみる」いいゲームです🥹 手軽に遊べるし、CM入ってもこのゲームだけは不快感全然無いしなにより楽しい！ 一人の客だけの話かな〜と思ってたら他の客の話にも繋がってたり、何よりおばあちゃんがめっちゃ良い人で今の時代こそして欲しい名作です🙌 昭和だから、って頑固なイメージがあるけどだからこそ叱ってでも相手のことを考える暖かい優しさもあって、エンディング流れた時はもう…… ### 5/5 — 아숩네요 *2026-03-15* 재미는 있습니다 컨텐츠가 적어서 아쉬워요 ### 5/5 — best hungry hearts game to date!!! *2026-03-14* i really enjoyed the new ramen aspect of the game and the story was unbelievably heartwarming...i couldn't have predicted the ending 🥹🥹🥹 (also boo the giants) ### 5/5 — 재료 배합이 안되요.. *2026-03-09* 라멘 개발 하는거에 재료가 안넣어져요 ㅜㅜ 버그인가요? 꾹 눌러서 드레그 해도 안되고 왜이러는거에요ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ ### 5/5 — 请一直做下去！ *2026-03-07, version 1.0.1* 从小时候就一直玩昭和系列 太爱了 还想看以前那个老奶奶的故事 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
