### 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 — 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 — Unexpectedly fun

*2023-07-13*

Gameplay is the same as shown in ads. Surprisingly fun and interesting to progress. Was skeptical at first as developer was from China since most Chinese games are those dudes trying to imagine themselves as emperor with a bunch of women. In conclusion, you should try this game out and it’s really fun!

### 5/5 — Good casual game

*2023-07-13*

The fact that this is a free game but it doesn’t shove ads on your face every time like some games does. I threw in some cash because i like to have a jumpstart to games like this. It’s interactive if you need something to do for a short time while it’s somewhat like an idle game as well

Also gotta say this game makes me want to eat hotpot so much

### 5/5 — Review cooking

*2023-07-13*

It’s been awhile since i am actually hooked up with a game! This game is very innovative and fun. However, there are some suggestions for this game which i hoped can be further important and enhanced. I noticed that the employees uniform cannot be changed when i clicked on it, it prompted me to shop. But I can’t seems to buy those uniform too. Also, i would suggest if accounts can be created so our game data can be saved due to changing of phone… I don’t want to restart the game all over again. Furthermore, i hope the business can be further expanded to few more branches or adding of tables to attend to more variety of customers and also allowing us to connect with our friends through the linked account.

### 5/5 — Great Game!

*2023-07-13*

Fun game to play with good progress. But after the update, there are Chinese words in the storage area even though english language was chosen. And you can’t see the level of the ingredient which is quite confusing. The customers should be going to the cashiering area too, so the tables can be cleared faster. Also, the calculations of the profit doesn’t reflect accurately when we accept it. But overall, still a nice game to play!

### 5/5 — Broken without free gold

*2023-07-08*

Was enjoying this game. It is very grindy for those who enjoy that kind of thing unless you spend money on gold. Gold is hard to come by in the game but a lot is need for up grading equipment and food. Up until recently you could get about 11 gold a day doing the 3 daily challenges and watching 8 ads for free gold. For completing the 3 daily challenges you would also get a free spin on “the deal wheel” which offers various prize including more gold. Recently the ads have stopped resetting everyday so I cannot get the 8 free gold the ads provide. Also one of the daily challenges is typically to watch ads for gold so this challenge cannot be completed. So now I’m left with only 2 gold a day and no free spin on deal wheel. Typically items are relatively inexpensive to upgrade early on. However to upgrade to higher levels even spending 10 gold to do so get expensive when you only get 2 gold a day. When I got 11 gold a day it took a long time to save up enough to get items upgraded so you could advance the game. Now it take way to long. I have contacted customer care and they have told me have no control over if ads are available to me. The ads are controlled by a third party. But ads still pop up between games which is normal but ads won’t reset for free gold. And one daily challenge is usually to watch ads so can’t complete that for free spin. It would not surprise me if this issue was unique to me but the game is not playable in this condition.
