Why do we have to wait that makes the game so unenjoyable ### 4/5 — Playing for some years, stopped and came back *2026-07-16, version 2.3.66* The only reason why I’m giving it. A four star review is because of one arcade game that I do not like with the shopping carts because every time I try to jump. It seems hardly impossible at sometimes, but other than that, I actually enjoy the game very much, and I hope they fine. Better ways to keep me entertained ### 3/5 — Bom, mas pode melhorar *2026-06-19* Ótimo jogo, porém, muito caro e quer sempre empurrar pra gente comprar e usar o dinheiro (verde), sendo que poderiam deixar usar mais o cash do jogo **Developer response:** Olá, Chef! Agradecemos pelo seu feedback. Compreendemos suas preocupações em relação ao custo de certos itens. Existem várias maneiras de ganhar Green Cash no Star Chef 2, incluindo concluir capítulos do Diário do Chef, desbloquear Conquistas, participar de eventos e obter diversas recompensas no jogo. ### 3/5 — Buggy *2026-03-05, version 2.3.25* Love this game I’m on level 40 but I can load the game without it freezing very frustrating ### 3/5 — Gutes Spiel *2026-02-21* Das Spielprinzip gefällt mir insgesamt sehr gut und es macht wirklich Spaß zu spielen. Die Idee ist kreativ und motivierend. Allerdings stört mich, dass man relativ schnell Erfahrungspunkte sammelt und zügig im Level aufsteigt. Mit jedem neuen Level werden neue Geräte freigeschaltet, die man eigentlich kaufen sollte. Leider reicht das verdiente Geld dafür meistens nicht aus, sodass man die neuen Funktionen gar nicht richtig nutzen kann. Das ist etwas frustrierend. Mit einer besseren Balance zwischen Wartezeiten, Belohnungen und Kosten hätte das Spiel großes Potenzial. ### 4/5 — Game *2026-01-26, version 2.3.10* Game is freezing on me please fix bugs. Thank you. ### 5/5 — I love this game *2026-01-03, version 2.3.5* I play this game on both my iPad and my android phone. I have more pesky bugs on my iPad than my android phone. I can start a new game and it pauses for a commercial break but not like the kind that you can use your money to speed up the process of things. It seems weird because I don’t experience this on my android phone. Not one random pause that’s causing stoppage in my play time. It’s frustrating because I want to play the game but I’m wasting battery time on trying to get back to my game. It’s so frustrating. ### 5/5 — “Star Chef 2 Review” *2025-11-26, version 2.2.95* “With as much as there is to do in this game for anyone to get bored would be ABSOLUTELY nuts!!! Not only is there a lot to do but the music and graphics are great too. Having so much going for it, it makes it an ABSOLUTE no-brainer to give this game a five star rating!!! Thank you EVER SO MUCH for making such a wonderful game!!! Please keep up the amazing work!!! ### 5/5 — Wirklich sehr gut 😊 *2025-11-08* Wenn ich in der App bin funktioniert das ganze Spiel. Aber manchmal ist es so dass man nicht auf verschiedene Bereiche zugreifen kann. Aber ansonsten ist alles wirklich gut gemacht. ### 5/5 — So far, so addictive *2025-10-23, version 2.2.85* Haven’t made to the level 10 yet, but am satisfied. ### 5/5 — Star Chef 2 Restaurant Game People *2025-10-11, version 2.2.85* Your game has a glitch because I can’t feed the cows. It won’t let me so figure that one out. Have a Groovy Day & Afternoon & Night Everyone & Please Live Life with Love in your Hearts Forever People Please & Thanks. Sincerely MeghanMaryMuLLozzi ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Muito ruim *2026-09-03, version 2.3.80* Joguinho péssimo de desenvolvimento, é o tipo de jogo que não tem como desenvolver dentro dele e jogar por horas. Péssimo, tudo demora ou não tem espaço, isso acontece já nos primeiros níveis de jogo. ### 1/5 — LOTS of Ads That Now Hang *2026-06-14, version 2.3.60* If you like watching ads, this game is for you. Now, as a bonus, when you do watch the ads, most of them either hang halfway through or just don’t work period, so you’ll be constantly restarting the game. Further, recent addition of random pop up ads in the middle of game play (now that also hang) vs player initiated watch of ads (or not) is a no go for me. They interupt game play and make the game frustrating vs fun and relaxing. There’s enough other games out there that do not force you to watch ads - ironically, watch some of the ads on this game and you’ll see some. This was a 5 star game before this change, because it is entertaining, but now it’s almost unplayable. Update: Ads still hang, mostly on the 1 of 3 ads (yes, they have bundled multiple ads together in one ad session). Have to say, when the 1 of 3 ads comes up, I usually just put the game aside and do something else until they are over instead of watching them. The long ad sessions are actually having the opposite effect they are intended to. ### 1/5 — LOTS of Ads That Now Hang *2026-05-20* If you like watching ads, this game is for you.

Thank you! ### 1/5 — Glitch *2026-05-11, version 2.3.46* The game currently says I have a “celebrity” in the game when I don’t. And the amount of coins, water, time it takes to have fruit is insane. And the amount of coins for a new cooking station is too much. ### 1/5 — 푸드랜드에서 안넘어감 *2026-05-01* 갑자기 레시피카드를 등록하라고 하더니 x를 눌러도 안닫히고 넘어가지도 않고 아무것도 안되고 왜 이러나요 ### 1/5 — Say No To Random Ads *2026-03-20, version 2.3.30* Recent addition of random pop up ads in the middle of game play vs player initiated watch of ads (or not) is a no go for me. These interupt game play and also make the game frustrating vs fun and relaxing. There’s enough other games out there that do not force you to watch ads. This was a 5 star game before this change and I’ll update my review if the ad situation goes back to where users can choose to watch ads if they want or not at all if they want. If they continue to just pop up, I’m deleting it. ### 1/5 — Restaurant *2026-03-17, version 2.3.30* It’s a great game the only problem is the constant cost in coins for expansions and cooking appliances not getting enough stuff for storage or expansion drop in coins very quickly everything is so expensive makes it harder to buy appliances and expand also cost in coins for things in game that shouldn’t have to pay extra for in coins how are people suppose to buy appliances with extra huge cost for stuff hopefully some stuff could be considered cheaper or given free appliances for leveling up ### 1/5 — Once was Good *2026-02-03, version 2.3.16* This game has been ruined by the aggressive Pop Up Ads to pay money to the game. What this has done is for players to spend less time on this game and given us more time to other games. Bad decision but thanks. ### 1/5 — Won’t even load *2025-10-03, version 2.2.81* Tried to open game and just buffered on the opening page for ages and wouldn’t load ### 1/5 — Watching ads for no rewards *2025-09-12, version 2.2.77* Can’t play with any strategy during all these events when watching ads don’t give you the rewards. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing game!!! *2026-08-21, version 2.3.75* I have all the games that I play on Facebook. This is a by far the best. ### 5/5 — Love this game ! *2026-08-14, version 2.3.75* Great unique keeps u busy ### 5/5 — One of the greatest! *2026-05-22, version 2.3.50* I’ve been playing star chef 2 for a few years already and the evolution of the gameplay along with graphics is amazing! I’d find it only be challenging for someone who isn’t great at time management or someone who lacks patience lol there’s team events, solo challenges, and a great way to destress if you like to decorate restaurants. 10 out of 10 from me! ### 5/5 — Excelente *2026-05-20, version 2.3.50* Es un juego muy hermoso y entretiene a mi me encanta ,el equipo asistencia del juego son muy professionals y resuelven cualquier problemas hacen un trabajo Excelente ,felicidades ### 5/5 — Tournament *2026-04-19, version 2.3.40* How do I join a team for tournaments Is it like Cafeland world kitchen ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-04-03, version 2.3.35* So far I’m having fun. Some things are a little rushed to finish, but all in all, I’m enjoying the game. ### 5/5 — Game Player! *2026-03-03, version 2.3.25* This app has fun for users! ### 5/5 — 복고풍시대이벤트 오류있어요 *2026-02-26* 복고풍이벤트 보상 결재도 했는데 갑자기 음식이 다되었는데 아무리해도 음식 서빙이 안되요 빨리 해결해주세요 ### 5/5 — 빠른 해결 부탁드립니다 *2026-02-02* 근데 과일스플레시? 그거만 누르면 화면이 그냥 멈추고 터치도 안되고 안넘어가요ㅠ 그 게임 하고싶은데 아예 안되네요 빠른 해결 부탁드립니다 **Developer response:** 안녕하세요, 셰프님. 저희가 앱 스토어에 최신 버전인 v2.3.17을 출시했습니다. 게임을 최신 버전으로 업데이트해 주세요. 그러면 문제가 해결될 것입니다. ### 5/5 — Joe’s Delivery *2026-01-04, version 2.3.5* I was going to order something off of Joe’s truck but changed my mind. Normally it would make me wait 2 minutes before I can order again. Well it’s telling me I have 4 minutes 790 days and 5hrs to order again 😂 can you please help? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
