Ratings and reviews

It's a typical Kairosoft game. It is slow starting out, especially with profits. I was struggling for money for the first few years. It picked up later on, but it still felt as though there wasn't much to do. After endgame, you can't carry anything over or get any bonuses. You just get a trophy that will stay on the homescreen. Overall, this is a good starter Kairosoft game. If you want a simple restaurant sim, you will probably like this.

Be prepared to have a second device with something else to do while the game is running. While decorating or modifying dishes the game is paused. You make nothing. You have to basically either sit & watch everything & wait for the pop-up to tell you something or ask you something. You have to pay your staff & that requires a lot more than you have coming in. Even winding up in debt. Your game is not transferable to other devices.

I think this is my favorite Kairosoft game, or at least it's right up there with my favorites (Sushi Spinnery, Mega Mall, Game Dev, Hot Springs, Dungeon Village). Love the dish development mechanic, which means you're never just waiting around to make money, you can always be working on something. There are IMO a couple of missteps with moving/ building/remodeling and ingredient hunting, but not enough to seriously hurt the game. And it's really generous about what you get to carry into NG+!
