### 3/5 — It’s angering sometimes

*2026-03-15, version 2.7.28*

I feel like I’ve hit a wall sometimes bc I don’t have active friends and people don’t let me join guild- any quests with the two are often hard to finish. 
Also as of the newest update USA users seem to not be able to watch ads. An error message pops up when pressing any volunteering for an ad like the daily spin or gems. 
I’m sure they’ll fix it with another update

### 4/5 — How do you get pets

*2026-03-13, version 2.7.28*

I keep going into the pet thing, but there's none there. Maybe I forgot to read the instructions lol 😂

### 2/5 — Great game but long loading

*2026-03-08, version 2.7.27*

When you press other function: shipping, mail, ect. It takes very long time to load probaly 3-5 min and you can not touch anything to exit.

### 3/5 — 每次點好友的留言區都會跑不動

*2026-01-01, version 2.7.25*

因為任務需要好友留言，但我每次點 都是跑不動（也不能發送），所以需要重新開遊戲，才能繼續玩

### 2/5 — Depressing

*2025-12-31, version 2.7.25*

I’m not sure if this is a mainly us server based game or if maybe my game is like lagging behind… it feels like I’m waiting for 5 minutes or more for any of the screen things to load now. 
The “Party” quests are the worst thing ever in this game. They take so long to finish when you don’t have enough people visiting your place. 
Also WHY IS EVERYONE SELLING GEMS?????? 
God I just want to complete a quest to buy a market item and every single person sells gems?! 
Don’t even get me started on the guilds? I’ve played this game for years and every guild I apply to denies me?? Why Bother having a guild option? 🤨😒

### 2/5 — I can’t log in to my old account

*2025-12-23, version 2.7.25*

So i came back to this game because i miss this game so much, but when i wanted to log in to my old account, there’s no option to log in with google account

Please add google login option, i really-really wanted to play on my old account

### 5/5 — Great game but not sure on a lot of things.

*2025-12-16*

I really like this game but some things aren’t easy to figure out. I just got a pet but it says waiting on a contract and I have no idea how or where to get a pet contract. Plus I do not know how to use the magic paint or the blue glass tiles and other things that you get but have no explanation for. Also you can buy these managers for like a hundred million but they’re not for your shop? Very confusing. I’ll still play this game but will be limited in what I can do in it.

**Developer response:** Dear Chef, Thank you for your time and comments. We apologize for letting you down while playing My Secret Bistro. We will do our best to meet your satisfaction. If you have any further requests or technical problems, please send an email in ENGLISH to ingame inquiry Thanks again, Chef!

### 5/5 — อยากให้มีธีมใหม่ๆมาบ้าง

*2025-12-08, version 2.7.25*

อยากให้มีธีมใหม่ๆมาขายตลอด ทุกอีเว้น หรือไม่ก็ทุก3-6เดือนก็ยังดี ของเกาหลีมีตลอดเลย

### 5/5 — Love the game, can you add more decorations please!

*2025-12-04, version 2.7.25*

I really love this game, the artistry of the characters and decorations are beautiful! The only thing I would add to it is more, more, more decorations! Oh and more wallpaper colors, there’s not much of a variety to choose from. If you could just add a wallpaper that comes in many colors that would be so nice because I like to redecorate my shop often. Thank you for a great game!

### 5/5 — Love the game but How do you feed your pet if you can’t win the food?

*2025-11-28, version 2.7.24*

I know you get pet food through tapping on the drinks but the pets require quite a bit of food and you can go through a whole days worth of drinks and maybe get one or two pet food so please why can’t we buy pet food- are we supposed to just let them starve? What a weird concept to not be able to feed your pets!

### 5/5 — U

*2025-11-26, version 2.7.24*

Game kiểu đáng yêu ý. Đồ hoạ cũng xinh mà mò cách để tạo hơi khó. Chúc game ngày càng phát triển

### 5/5 — Please help! Love the game but where’s the Royal Wine?

*2025-11-14, version 2.7.24*

Hi, Can you please answer me on how to get Royal Wine for the Wendy quest? I love this game but am stuck on this quest and cant advance, thank you, please help!

### 5/5 — Implement a new feature for “managing part-time jobs”

*2025-10-24, version 2.7.23*

May we request the following new functions:

1.	Friends button show Part-Time Status.

When tapping on a friends button: we can immediately see whether we are currently working part-time at that friend’s bistro or have not applied yet. Currently, it takes too much time to check which floor we are assigned to.

Without enter in friends bistro.

2.	Floor Indicator:
When entering a friend’s bistro, we can immediately know which floor we are on.

Thank you for considering these suggestions.

### 1/5 — Loading too long

*2026-06-18, version 2.7.33*

When it’s loading it takes a long time and will kick u out in the middle of the game .. fix this !

### 1/5 — No ads!

*2026-04-05, version 2.7.28*

I’ve been a daily player since this game was released years ago. I’ve put up with the constant lag and network errors, but now I have to give you permission to track me to watch an ad! No thanks, I’ll find another game to spend my money on. Bye!!!!!

### 1/5 — This is stupid now

*2026-03-27, version 2.7.28*

In the new update they took away adds for the U. S and now the game isn't even playable.

### 1/5 — Hảo game

*2025-12-14, version 2.7.25*

Game gì đang chơi bình thường thì văng mới vô chơi văng, văng văng miết!!! Huhu😭😭

### 1/5 — Great game but lags.. A LOT

*2025-11-25, version 2.7.24*

It’s a great game. I love playing it, but it seems as though it’s starting to lag and when it does that, it’ll reset everything that I’ve done and if you do a quest that requires energy and it starts to lag, it’ll take away your energy it won’t restore it it was so it’s basically just wasted. Hopefully they’ll fix it seems to be a consistent issue but it’s 2025 almost 2026, so hopefully we can get an update soon. :)

Update:

I just spent 3 to 4 hours in this game just for me to come out and reload and it redid all the work I had just spent in editing and working on the restaurant. If it keeps up, I might not be playing anymore.

### 1/5 — เวลาเข้าเกม

*2025-10-27, version 2.7.23*

เข้าเกมแล้วชอบเด้งออกจากเกมทุกครั้ง ควรปรับปรุงและพัฒนาให้ดีกว่านี้นะค่ะ ต้องกดเข้าเกมหลายรอบกว่าจะเข้าได้

### 1/5 — Level up issue

*2025-09-25, version 2.7.22*

My account was stuck at level64, i tried to use exp coupons but it wont add up

### 1/5 — 無法更新

*2025-09-18, version 2.7.21*

這遊戲還可以更爛一點嗎？都幾天了無法更新，那幹嘛維修更新，我玩2年了，也除值過，常常斷線都忍了，還要忍多久，是想讓大家都別玩了嗎？

### 1/5 — Purchase Review '

*2025-07-05, version 2.7.17*

I tried purchasing 2nd floor then there was a glitch money was returned but it’s not allowing me to see the 2nd floor I can’t purchase it again. It’s only showing 3rd floor but you can’t enter the 3rd floor without the 2nd

### 1/5 — 越更新越爛

*2025-06-11, version 2.7.10*

更新後無法看廣告領獎勵，寫信跟客服反應也都沒改善，要退遊了

### 5/5 — 아이폰에서 갤럭시로 넘어가서

*2026-08-14*

구글 계정으로 연동은 불가능한가요….

### 5/5 — Need Help logging into my old account

*2026-06-20, version 2.7.33*

Hi Support Team!
I played this game long time ago, and am unable to log into to my old account. Nickname was “꿈꾸는감자“ Could you assist me on this? I’d love to get back on!

### 5/5 — I love this game

*2026-05-03, version 2.7.29*

I absolutely love this game! I’ve been playing it since 2021 when I was in middle school. Unfortunately, I lost my phone and forgot the game's name, so it took me 5 years to find it again (I’m 20 now, omg! 🥹)

Coming back to My Secret Bistro feels like a dream, and I’m so happy the graphics are just as charming as I remembered. I also truly appreciate how the developers are always so dedicated to fixing bugs and responding to feedback 😘😘😘

One small suggestion: I’ve been following your YouTube channel and noticed more AI-generated content. I totally understand it's for efficiency, but I personally love the game’s original art style so much more. I hope you won't over-rely on AI, as your unique hand-drawn touch is what makes this game so special to me!

You guys have created such a wonderful game. I love you and My Secret Bistro! I hope we can stay together for a long time. Thank you for all your hard work, keep it up! 💪💞

(P.S. Sorry for my bad English! 😅)

### 5/5 — Nice game!

*2026-04-10, version 2.7.29*

Adorable characters and it’s fun decorating in this game, thank you for fixing the ads, all is good now!

### 5/5 — No free ruby

*2026-03-29, version 2.7.28*

Can't any free ruby or energy things through ads. It keeps saying error

### 5/5 — URGENT! Latest update can’t watch any ads!

*2026-03-12, version 2.7.28*

To the developers: the latest update on March 11-12 2026 has a big glitch! I cant watch any ads and just get an error code and it’s impacting the game play, so please fix and update if you can, thank you!

### 5/5 — Glitch?

*2026-02-06*

Okay, to start, I love this game and have been playing for years. It’s a little slow and sometimes boots me out of the game, it’s kinda annoying but I’ve gotten used to it by now. It’s a fun game to play if you like leveling up and having a cute bistro, however I recently switched to a new device and so I redownloaded the game and the data transferred over, but somehow during that, my game glitched so now it no longer allows me to pack shipping orders or go on expeditions or use a special cooker, every time I try it says I need to increase my level or finish the Snow White story, (which i have already finished) but I’m level 50, and I recall only having to be like level 10 to pack orders and an even lower level to go on expeditions. I hope you guys can fix this otherwise I might have to restart my progress and I really don’t want to seeing as it took such a long time to get here and acquire all the things I have. Thank you.

**Developer response:** Dear Chef,

We are so sorry that you are not having a good experience with MSB :(
please send an email with your specific difficulties to ingame inquiry
We will figure out the best solution.
Thanks again, Chef!

### 5/5 — My cute little hobby:)

*2026-01-08*

I look forward to playing this game everyday and changing my decor often, thats my favorite part! Nice that they have different changing themes and updates. And you can always count on Benny to answer any questions you may have- good to know the makers of this game care and do their best to make this an exciting game. The graphics are excellent and the characters are adorable. Thank you so much for this game! I used to play Fairywoods 
Patisserie, Pocket Potions, Sweet Shop, Dream Dresses and the old version of Hello Cappuccino as well as I Love Coffee- all of those are no longer available and so I was happy to find My Secret Bistro, which has alot of elements I loved on those other apps.

**Developer response:** Dear Chef, Thank you for your time and comments. We apologize for letting you down while playing My Secret Bistro. We will do our best to meet your satisfaction. If you have any further requests or technical problems, please send an email in ENGLISH to ingame inquiry Thanks again, Chef!

### 5/5 — Really great game!

*2025-12-26*

I love this game and I play everyday! If I change one thing it would be that if in the market we could sell the extra pet eggs we have acquired, the extra pets we have acquired that we don’t need that someone else could use and the extra pet food. Just a shame to throw them out- right now I have about 40 extra pet eggs, 9 pets that just need a contract but I don’t need them and about 100+ extra pet food. If there’s any way we could sell all these extra item we don’t need that would be the chefs kiss 💋

**Developer response:** Dear Chef, Thank you for your time and comments. We apologize for letting you down while playing My Secret Bistro. We will do our best to meet your satisfaction.

### 5/5 — Love, love, love this game!

*2025-12-22, version 2.7.25*

Beautiful graphics, enough quests to keep you busy and keep you playing, thank you!!!
