It gets really buggy whenever I’m trying to move the screen to see other part. Please fix! I have difficult time changing and placing furnitures. It’s so annoying. ### 3/5 — Error *2016-08-19, version 1.03* Can't name my store even with less than 16 characters. ### 4/5 — Un bon Kairosoft *2016-06-23, version 1.03* Comme tous les jeux Kairosoft, The Ramen Sensei propose une expérience de gestion assez light mais addictive...pendant quelques heures. Parmi tous les jeux du studio que j'ai faits, je le place plutôt dans le haut de la liste. Il a plutôt une bon e interface de gestion et un bon contenu, mais n'a peut-être pas l'ambiance jamais retrouvée dans un Kairosoft de Game dev story. Quoi qu'il en soit, il remonte le niveau après pas mal de jeux ratés à mon sens. Concernant le jeu en lui même, je dirais que sa principale qualité est la grande diversité dans les tâches possibles (même si certaines comme le placement de toppings sont de la poudre aux yeux) et le nombre de clients que peut afficher le jeu. Au niveau des défauts, il y a peu d'événements et le jeu est donc très répétitif. Il tient assez longtemps grâce au sentiment de montée en puissance et à la diversité des Ramen mais au delà de cela passé le rang 9 il m'a gonflé. Pas fini donc mais il est assez "long". Vu le prix, ça reste un jeu mobile pas mal donc. ### 4/5 — Good but... *2016-04-19, version 1.03* I love this game but it lags on my 6s :( ### 5/5 — 카이로 시티에서 아무도 안들어오는데요 *2016-03-18, version 1.03* 하루종일 기다려도 원숭이 한마리 들어오던데 버그 입니까? ### 4/5 — Vuelta al comienzo *2016-03-16, version 1.03* Parece ser que usan la fórmula de siempre, pero dando un toque más entretenido. Aconsejable ### 3/5 — Good But Unpolished *2016-02-20, version 1.03* Due to the game being rough around the edges, I have a feeling that this game is actually one Kairosoft made early on, as in, it may have been one of the first ones they made back when they made games for flip-phones in Japan. It's enjoyable, but definitely not one of their best. I'd only recommend it to huge Kairosoft fans. The music seems really out of place (more akin to what you'd hear in a low budget JRPG than a Simulation game); it's too hyper/active to match the game's atmosphere. The animations are all a bit rough and awkward too. There also seems to be some awkward laggy loading screens here and there, but only for a second or two. With that being said, the game still is overall enjoyable if you are a big Kairosoft fan. Making all the various ramens and finding the best combos has all the same charm as it does in Game Dev story, Magazine Mougal, etc. There's the same Kairosoft charm present overall as well, and all the little knacks of leveling up your staff and your own skills does make it a game that you can sink a lot of time into. ### 4/5 — 英文不好很多看不懂...沒有日文版本嗎？ *2016-02-18, version 1.03* 英文不好很多看不懂...沒有日文版本嗎？ ### 3/5 — 好玩啦 *2016-02-13, version 1.03* 但是可以調回日文嗎？ ### 3/5 — 可以在更新回來日文嗎 *2016-02-07, version 1.03* 可以在更新回來日文嗎 ### 5/5 — 하.. 꿀잼 *2016-02-01, version 1.03* 자잘하게 신경써야 할게 좀 많긴한데. 어느새 또 중독ㅋㅋㅋ 카이로에 예외란 없네요 :) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App does not work *2022-12-22, version 2.19* Please fix this app. It will not run once you try to make the first soup. ### 1/5 — 언어변경이안되네 *2018-12-26, version 2.03* 리뷰보고 받을걸 언어 변경해도 오류 뜨기만하구 어떻게하란건지 짜증나 ### 1/5 — 환불해주세요.... *2018-04-28, version 2.03* 너무 조합이 어려워요... 그리고 와 결제 금액말고 추가로 1달러씩 가져가는지 이유를 모르겠네요 환불 부탁드려요 ### 1/5 — 핵노잼 ㅎ *2018-04-24, version 2.03* 카이로게임중에서 역대급재미없음 ### 1/5 — A Letdown *2016-02-14, version 1.03* I wish they'd put out a Lite version of this game -- after less than half an hour playing, I realized how poorly done Ramen Sensei is. I've played every other Kairosoft title on iOS and this is the only one I've given up on before beating it. Wish I could get my money back... ### 1/5 — so cheap *2016-01-27, version 1.03* This game is not fun. so sad！！！！！ ### 1/5 — I noodle sono impossibili *2016-01-26, version 1.03* Per crearne di decenti devi spendere 100000000€ anche se come probabilita stai sul 64% ### 1/5 — … *2016-01-17, version 1.03* 為啥這次不能轉日語系統… ### 1/5 — You have failed massively *2016-01-11, version 1.02* The game won't save, it crashes all the time and it is overpriced! You guys usually make good games I spend hours on but this is terrible. I demand a refund! ### 1/5 — Still Crashes *2016-01-07, version 1.02* Still Crashes ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 복잡해서 재밌는 게임! *2018-05-20, version 2.03* 카이로 게임 메니아입니다. 다른 카이로 게임을 하다보면 너무 쉽고 단순해서 쉽게 질리는데 이번 게임은 꽤 복잡하고 이것 저것 신경쓸게 많아서 재밌습니다 물론 원래 카이로 게임의 단순함을 좋아 하시는 분들 이라면 좀 많이 복잡할 수도 있을 것 같습니다 처음 적응할 땐 이게 뭐지? 싶다가도 하면 할 수록 흥미롭습니다 그리고 카이로 마을에 손님 안들어오는건 손님한테 인기 없어서 그런것 같습니다 카이로 마을에서 라면 개발하고 손님 레벨 높아지면 손님들 옵니다 ### 5/5 — 드디어 한글화가 ㅠㅠㅠ *2018-04-25, version 2.03* 대체 이건 언제되나 마냥 기다리며 회전초밥과 아카데미를하던날이 스쳐지나갑니다 거의 1년은 ㅅ기다린듯 즐겜하로갑니다 ### 5/5 — Finally! Love this game! *2018-01-07, version 1.03* Brilliant game, played through 3 times already (first time on easy, then onto hard), and have actually learnt something about Japanese cuisine. After a steep learning curve this game is really playable, and there are no horrible in-app purchases or ads, which really angered me when the developers introduced it. Only thing: once you've played through on easy and then on hard, there's not much to do other than beat your high score. After that it becomes a bit too repetitive and predictable, but I could say that for most kairosoft games. Still, it's a great formula and has provided me weeks of entertainment! ### 5/5 — 等好久了 *2018-01-01, version 2.02* 這個中文終於等到了！！！ ### 5/5 — 最高👍 *2017-10-30, version 1.03* いつもkairosoftをしてる人です。 毎回出るとき買います。 でも日本語の方も英語の方も難しいです。 よかったらこれも韓国語で翻訳してください〜 いつも面白いゲーム作ってありがとうございます ### 5/5 — Awesome!!! *2017-04-20, version 1.03* First of all this version runs absolutely fine, no crashes and the save function works perfectly. I'm a big fan of Kairosoft games but I was initially put off playing this by negative reviews. However my fears were unfounded, this is a fantastic game. It is similar to previous titles such as Cafeteria Nipponica, but the gameplay has more depth. The dish creation offers you hours of experimentation and is much more detailed. Like previous titles, there is a slow start and for me a greater learning curve but once you get going it is so much fun. Would definitely recommend. ### 5/5 — Best *2016-10-19, version 1.03* A fun game because I love ramen Keep Up The Good Work👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍❤️️❤️️❤️️❤️️❤️️😃😃😃😃 ### 5/5 — 👍🏼 *2016-08-05, version 1.03* The typical addictive gameplay that we have come to love! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2016-06-13, version 1.03* One of the best games ever! ### 5/5 — I love this game *2016-06-12, version 1.03* Kairosoft is one of my favourite gaming developers. I really hope that Manga artist and Game Center are translated into English soon! >< --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
