About this game

Happy Diner Story is a delicious, newly designed time management game. Start by running a small restaurant, upgrade your chef, waiters and cooking equipment, open restaurants in every city in the world, and write the story of your culinary empire.
Different from common cooking games, this game simulates the process from cooking to serving, completely simulating the restaurant management gameplay, allowing you to immersively participate in every aspect of cooking. From the moment a customer enters the restaurant, the operation of the restaurant begins. Assigning tables to customers, customers ordering meals, serving snacks to customers, chefs personally cooking for customers, etc., a series of processes will be presented in the game. You can also upgrade waiters and chefs to make them more efficient and faster; upgrade dishes to make the food more delicious; upgrade restaurant equipment to accommodate more customers. Don't miss out on every detail, creating the perfect restaurant starts here.

Ratings and reviews

It's a good base game, but without watching ads or making purchases it's impossible to complete certain levels within the limits of the level, because you need to buy upgrades that are usually over 1000 coins when you earn like 300-500 per level. That and the screenshot completely differ from the game and are misleading, unless I haven't gotten that far in the game yet. Honestly you'd be better off playing the classic versions of game like this like cooking fever.

At first, I really loved this game because of its similarities to the original Diner Dash. The levels are fun, and the game is very addicting. That being said, after the first restaurant, the game progress comes to a grinding halt. Yes, the levels are fun, but without progression, it gets just a bit too tedious and grindy. I respect that games require a bit of an algorithm to prevent players from flying through, but I'm not spending hours just to advance one level. Not a long-term game.

It's a decent game, and it's fun. Not a lot of aggressive ads. However, it's entirely stacked pay to play. You can win without playing, but it is redundant and incredibly, frustratingly, slow. I can't give it any more than a three given that when you play a level you're given meager coins for the exorbitant cost of upgrading.
