### 5/5 — Best Game Ever!!!!

*2026-07-14*

I have never had a cooking game that is so fair, not a single add if you press “don’t track” in the very beginning! It is very lovely and everything is very cheap at first because you are beginning but later in the game gets more expensive. I do not mind honestly because of how much I love this game! I play it every day and you get a lot of prizes!! They won’t charge you real money and this game keeps going on and on! It is like you will never run out of restaurants and when you do, you will move on to many different worlds (countries)!! ❤️❤️I recommend this game a million out of a hundred! You will have so much fun, I promise!!!

### 1/5 — So many ads

*2026-07-02, version 1.088.5051*

After every level played an ad pops up. Waste of time

### 4/5 — Nice

*2026-05-21*

Tasty Diary is an amazing cooking game I enjoy cooking different foods and upgrading restaurants Highly recommended for cooking game lovers…

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2026-04-11*

I normally don’t like to cook but this game makes it seem more fun to work at a restaurant. I want to play this all day there is burgers, cafe, seafood. Then you can do Japan, Italy ,Beijing , Mexico, America, and so much more. There is so much food you can make and so much exiting things to do so I suggest you get this game. #loveit!

### 5/5 — Love It!

*2026-03-09*

I absolutely love Tasty Diary! I honestly don’t know how I missed this game before. I’m a huge fan of cooking games, but I took a break from them for a while because so many became overly money hungry, difficult to upgrade in, and eventually just boring.

This game feels completely different. The characters feel original and full of personality, and you can really tell the developers are passionate about cooking games. Even though the art style is cartoony, the food actually looks delicious, which I really appreciate. In a lot of cooking games with cartoon graphics, the food looks bland or the visuals feel outdated but that definitely isn’t the case here. Everything feels vibrant, polished, and fun to look at.

I also love the events you can join for extra rewards. It gives you something new to work toward and keeps the game exciting. Another big plus is that upgrading doesn’t feel ridiculously expensive like in many other cooking games. You can genuinely enjoy and progress through the game without spending money.

I also don’t mind the ads at all, the only time they come up for me is to get double rewards which I love. But I’m considering buying the ad free version just to support the developers because they’ve created such a fun and well designed game. Also you don’t have to wait or pay for fast upgrades they’re instant after you pay, the way it should be <3

### 4/5 — Da pra melhorar

*2026-02-06*

O jogo em si é ótimo… ativa mto a percepção, o reflexo e agilidade e ainda distrai bastante. Porém os anúncios imensos tanto ao finalizar uma fase qnto ao iniciar outra são mto cansativos além de intereferir qndo se ganha tempo de jogo pois o mesmo tempo continua correndo normalmente durante os anúncios q como eu disse, mtas vezes são grandes. Sei q necessitam dos anúncios para q o jogo continue fluindo, porém poderiam ao menos pausar o tempo ganho no jogo enqnto estiverem ocorrendo ou pelo menos diminuir um pouco na quantidade.

**Developer response:** Obrigado pelo seu feedback! A equipe tem buscado um equilíbrio entre a publicidade e uma boa experiência de jogo, e otimizará isso no futuro. Se você não quiser ver os anúncios, pode desativá-los durante o jogo ou adquirir o serviço sem anúncios. Esperamos que você continue nos apoiando. Tenha um bom dia! :)

### 4/5 — Love it

*2026-01-28*

I’ve been playing this game over the past few months and so far I’ve enjoyed it. Although now it won’t update where I can play the new Valentine’s Day and Babushka. Kinda sad about it

**Developer response:** Hello chef, the new version is available. Please update to the newest version to get Valentine’s Day and Babushka, have fun!

### 4/5 — Too many ads, spoils the fun

*2026-01-26*

Why won’t my review post? It’s been 2 days. 🤷‍♀️
I’ll change the stars and see if that helps. 

It was fun, for awhile. Too many ads. Far too many ads. I did figure out I could avoid some of them by simply exiting and re-entering the game after each level. Crazy. I play games to relax and have fun. Wanting to say bad words every minute and a half when ANOTHER ad plays is not relaxing. I deleted and don’t recommend unless you enjoy ads or have unending patience.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! The team has been looking for a balance between advertising and a good gaming experience, and will optimize in the future. If you don’t want to see the ads, you can turn off the ads while it’s playing or purchase the no-ad service. Hope you continue to support us. Have a good day:)
