The gameplay is generally described as simple and easy to learn, with engaging mechanics that combine RPG elements and restaurant management.

“Gameplay is very grindy and repetitive though.”
“Gameplay is stale after some time.”

Overall, the grinding can detract from the enjoyment of the game, leading to burnout for those who prefer a more balanced gameplay experience.
“But as I kept playing, it started to gradually become lackluster to the whole game mechanic of grinding. It's fun to grind sometimes to get the materials you need, but when you start getting only 1 item for the materials you need to make your recipes and stamina for the restaurant and delivery service, it gets tedious and makes me not want to play anymore.”

The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players noting a heavy reliance on microtransactions that can feel predatory and expensive, particularly for exclusive content.

“There's in-app purchases, but it never pushes you into buying stuff 24/7 like some money-hungry games out there.”

“Only level 10, but the graphics and character design are fantastic. Smooth combat lets you get involved without having to over-manage. There are in-game purchases, but it doesn't feel forced at all, and there's a supportive community chat.”
“I used to love this game, but they have gone in some unhealthy monetization direction.”
“The game was fun initially when I started playing, but the monetization methods absolutely kill the end game content and made me lose interest.”
