The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed feedback from users. While many appreciate that ads are generally short, skippable, and optional for bonuses, others find the frequency of ads intrusive, especially after every level. In-app purchases are available to remove ads entirely, which some players find reasonable, but there are complaints about the necessity of watching ads to progress or earn rewards, leading to frustration for some users. Overall, the game balances monetization with gameplay, allowing players to enjoy it without feeling pressured to spend money.
“The in-game purchases are just for cosmetics, no boosting just to get through a hard level like so many other games do!”
“Microtransactions are there, but in no way thrown at you or shoved in your face.”
“You can play the game without making in-app purchases if you don't want to, and leveling up is steady, but still challenging.”
“But when I am given inescapable ads every three times I play, where I have to wait at least 5 to 10 seconds to get out of, it just frustrates me because that should be a choice, not something I have to do just to keep playing and give you guys free forced ad revenue.”
“What isn't good is the unskippable, full screen, 30 seconds advertisements after every level that force you to the play store.”
“The only problem I have is that there's way too many ads.”

The game's story aspect is minimal, primarily revolving around completing quests to unlock costumes and characters, which some players find repetitive and lacking depth. While the cute graphics and simple gameplay are appreciated, many reviewers express a desire for a more engaging storyline or adventure to enhance the experience.

“The quests are so much fun and the characters are very cute!”
“I recommend to play if you want to have your own restaurant and do quests to buy prizes and just have fun then play this. I hope you like it and the creators should keep adding cool things. Thanks if you read this and see this creators, I appreciate it! By the way, the graphics are clear!”
“I love this game! You can change your dress or costume and also complete quests to get more diamonds to unlock characters and add many other foods.”

“It was all fun and enjoyable; now I'm uninstalling it because it has ads I can't mute and the ads interrupt books. You can't click anything without being redirected, so you have to sit there with a useless device listening to gaudy soundtracks and/or annoying ads which are the same things over and over, and you can't mute the things anymore.”

I love this game; it's very original, so please fix it and I'll change my rating.”
