### 2/5 — Earn coins

*2026-04-06, version 2.25.74*

Every time I earn a thousand or over a day before I will wake up the next day and my coin are gone like I had 1500 and when I look it’s 500 this time it drop to 100 so where are my earn coins going. Can’t save to buy the appliances that I need if my coins are being taken. It’s a fun game but that’s my only issue.

### 4/5 — Gostei!

*2026-03-25*

O jogo é dinâmico e a todo tempo surgem surpresas. O gráfico é muito bom! Só fico um pouco perdida na hora de fazer as compras, nunca consigo identificar os itens que estão em falta sem dificuldade. Também acho que pode ser atualizado. Ter que conectar com o Facebook já era. Tem rede mais atual.

### 3/5 — Стало слишком много рекламы

*2026-03-15, version 2.25.74*

Была отличная игра, но теперь реклама после посещения соседов, после сбора опыта со сцены, посли вообще непонятно каких действий. Невозможно играть

### 3/5 — Suggestions

*2025-10-11*

It’s a great game, however, it could be improved. 

Everything is taught at once and later, it gets a little complex to figure things out. It would be better if the instructions were given one by one. 

The game progresses quickly, however, it’s hard to earn money and then at level 8 you suddenly need 2000 to expand. It would be better if the expansion was later in that case, or if you could reduce the price if expansion. 

Another thing is that the crops take way too much time to grow. 

This game tests your patience way too much. I feel like I will delete this game in 3 days if it keeps testing my patience in this manner. 

I am sorry for the negative feedback, but the time limitations are irritating.

### 4/5 — Frustrating

*2025-10-10, version 2.25.66*

i love the game overall but it is very hard to progress when it’s hard to make money. When you don’t have the equipment yet you should be able to force the table to leave instead of just having them sit there.

### 2/5 — Boring but has potential

*2025-10-06, version 2.25.66*

This game is unique. Concept is good. However, it tends to get boring overtime. You need vegetables, you have to plant 1st and wait, once you have the ingredients you have to wait again. You can't even serve dishes all at the same time. Not only you have to earn money to buy ingredients, but you also need the basket for energy whatever, I get it they may want to make it as close to realistic restau type of thing but danggg! We're playing so we can relax, and not just wait almost the entire time. Plus the colors? Looks so boring. Can't even do interior designing.

### 3/5 — Interesting but boring

*2025-09-05, version 2.25.66*

Food cooking time take average, but to buy the ingredient need foodies that is limited. Earning cost is less to buy the cooking stuff. Totally is not balance game.

### 4/5 — Very nice

*2025-08-04, version 2.25.66*

This game made my day it even makes me awake until now haha

### 3/5 — Used to love the game

*2025-07-27, version 2.25.66*

The game has way too many pop up ads per task. Most of them are the screw puzzles. So frustrating.

### 4/5 — Pls help me

*2025-07-07, version 2.25.66*

I wanna download my account to another iPad but it’s not working even if I try to log in with facebook what can I do

### 3/5 — Update game

*2025-05-21, version 2.25.66*

Thêm update mới đi

### 3/5 — Boring

*2025-04-24, version 2.25.66*

I agree with you that this game is very slow

### 2/5 — Macrh 2025 Update

*2025-03-28, version 2.25.65*

I am facing problems with the game for the first time!!! please fix it!! after the update its lagging the whole time

### 2/5 — Super Spiel, aber…

*2025-03-15, version 2.25.63*

Das Spiel ist echt cool und macht Mega Spaß, aber wenn an ein bestimmtes Level erreicht hat, kommt alle paar Sekunden Werbung und nimmt den Spielspaß leider völlig! Das ist wirklich sehr schade… ohne diese ganze Werbung, würde ich das Spiel weiterspielen, jedoch endet für mich nun meine Zeit mit Starchef aufgrund der Werbung, die den gesamten Spaß ruiniert! 
Sehr schade, man verärgert sich nur so seine eigenen Spieler!

### 1/5 — Star Chef

*2026-05-29, version 2.25.74*

This game has the potential to be better. It does take about 3 months to buy an appliance once you’re at a higher level. You can buy coins to buy an appliance but it is too expensive and you’d end up spending a lot of money to upgrade quicker. Probably designed that way. Bit of a shame being greedy that way because I spend money on other games when there is value for money. They’ve got a new card feature that gives you cards with boosters as rewards, replacing a lot of opportunity to earn coins. Probably take 6 months to get an appliance. A game should be fun, this is just work.

### 1/5 — 分かりにくい

*2026-04-08*

ずっと遊んでいたゲームが終了したので、代わりにダウンロードしましたが、テンポが悪いし分かりにくい。
フードカッターが必要なメニューが出てきたけど、フードカッターを置けない。
どうしたらいいの？
他の人が書いている広告は、レベル7の今のところ全く出てきていません。

### 1/5 — Reseña!

*2026-03-24, version 2.25.74*

La verdad casi no me gustó, se tarda demasiado en hacer la comida, y es demasiado difícil, pero cada quien sus gustos supongo!

### 1/5 — Gostei, porém…..!

*2026-03-03*

Gostei do jogo, organizado! Com suas coisas no devido lugar, separado cada coisa! Da pra organizar bem, porém deveria ter a opção de cozinhar vários pratos por tempo! Tipo 1hora - 200 pratos (valor 20 cada)
Isso de passar 10 minutos fazendo UM ÚNICO PRATO, é cansativo e o processo muito demorado! Tenta melhorar aí vai que volto a jogar com gosto

### 1/5 — Cooking times are way too long.

*2026-01-04, version 2.25.71*

Very unrealistic cooking times. Really should be fixed.

### 1/5 — Очень Очень Очень Много Реклам

*2025-06-18*

Игра сама супер но за последнее время появилось слишком много реклам

### 1/5 — Jeu bloqué bug

*2025-04-24, version 2.25.66*

Cela paraît bizarre que dès le début du feu, je ne puisse pas rajouter de troisième table par manque de place et qu’il faille payer 2000 pièces pour acheter une extension. J’arrive à peine à avoir 500 pièces sans les dépenser.

### 1/5 — To many ads

*2025-04-15, version 2.25.65*

This game never used to have ads when I played on my phone now it’s full of ads and it’s crazy

### 1/5 — Hard to earn coins

*2025-03-14, version 2.25.63*

Food prices are unreasonable. So hard to earn coins, and replenish goods. I’ll uninstall this. 😒

### 1/5 — Çok fazla reklam var

*2025-01-13, version 2.25.63*

Çok fazla reklam var; sahneye, otoparka, günlük ödüle tıklayınca reklama giriyor ve çok uzun sürüyor kapatamıyoruz sonuna kadar izlemek gerekiyor. İlk indirdiğimde böyle değildi, artık çok sinir bozucu olmaya başladı oyunu siliyorum.
