## What is World Chef?

World Chef is a happy place where the kitchen never closes, the waiter always has a big smile on his face and the food is so great you should probably play with a bib on.

### 1/5 — The Main Reason

*2026-02-26, version 3.6.3*

Dont Get Me Wrong, I Love My World Chef However The Main And Biggest Reason I Rate 1 Star Is For The Fact... Food Takes Too Ridiculously Long To Cook. Like Me, If You Dont Have Facebook Then You Cant Have Friends Either.  I Cant Have My Friends In My "Friend Tab" Because I Dont Have Facebook Or Do The Facebook Drama.

### 4/5 — Ive been playing this game for years !

*2026-02-20, version 3.6.3*

I love this game but when I transferred from android to apple, i lost my account and progress. I have started a new account but there is so many bugs and Ive been having some issues with the gameplay. I seen that it is no longer being supported

### 5/5 — حلوة لعبة

*2026-02-19, version 3.6.3*

جميلة

### 4/5 — I really like this game

*2026-02-11, version 3.6.3*

I used to played in an Android divise like 8years ago and I downloaded the app again few months ago in a Apple using the same account but I have to start all over again 😪😪 also I just reach Lv38 and is unbelievable that I have to wait 10hrs to boy vanilla , please do something about the hours needed to boy some product

### 5/5 — Des idées pour de nouveaux ajouts

*2026-02-07, version 3.6.3*

Salut!Juste dire que le jeu est très bien.J’y joues quand même assez pour avoir un avis constructif à cette égard.Je me suis dis,qu’il pourrait avoir des ajouts et des améliorations fun au jeu.Par exemple, un chat mondiaux avec l’ajout de club pour ne pas se sentir un peu seul quand on joue.Ainsi des événements qui pourrait venir avec.Aussi, c’est pas trop grave,mais pour ma part j’ai des bugs visuels au niveau du marché du genre: des gens qui son lvl 26 mais au final son lvl 2 quand je vais voir au sinon des produit dans le marché qui me sert à rien car j’ai pas le niveau.Beaucoup d’ajout et d’amélioration peuvent avoir lieux,mais je suis conscient que c’est pas toujours simple à gérer.Je me dis si vous êtes capable de le faire avec Monster Legends, j’imagine que vous été capable de le faire avec World Chef.Bref, merci d’avoir pris du temps et bonne journée 😊

### 5/5 — Love It

*2026-02-04, version 3.6.3*

Been playing for years, great dishes and building skills with time and money management

### 3/5 — Serving

*2026-01-31, version 3.6.2*

I’ve been playing this game on and off for years now and I do love it. However I can think of a few changes that would be good. 
1) More flooring and wall options
2) instead of serving all meals to a table why not serve seperate meals, that way the food storage doesn’t build up and you can get tables cleared faster. 
3) Less things costing so many diamonds. Like I get the point is for them to have ppl buy with real money but not it doesn’t really seem fair that you have to pay like $150 diamonds to get a new chef.

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-01-20, version 3.5.0*

Good, brings nostalgia as to when I played it many years ago

### 5/5 — Pk

*2026-01-18, version 3.5.0*

Ok

### 3/5 — A Freemium user’s worst nightmare

*2026-01-07, version 3.5.0*

The game is fun and good. Has a lot of customization options for your restaurant. The biggest complaint is that it is heavily gems dependent. Some chefs (and SEVERAL upgrades) are only possible through using gems. If you want to buy, it’s $11.50(!!!) per chef to purchase. If you want a free experience, it will take months maybe even years to purchase and upgrade. I have been playing since 2019 and still don’t have one. I wish there were efficient options to gather gems much like Clash of Clans (a far better freemium experience) but this game doesn’t really get updates anymore so it’s a wish at best. Still pretty fun simulation game but has a glaring downside.
