The game suffers from frequent and persistent stability issues, including constant freezing, crashing, slow loading times, and glitches that cause loss of progress, supplies, and in-app purchases. These problems are especially prevalent during events, level transitions, and interactions with ads, severely disrupting gameplay and frustrating long-time players. Despite reports, players feel the developers have been slow to fix these issues, leading to a diminished user experience and consideration of uninstalling.
- “Update: I did have to uninstall and reinstall and start the game over, but since then, no glitches (even with updating) - still a very fun game!”
- “No glitches or anything.”
- “No glitches, free, fun; it's for people or kids that want to learn how to cook.”
- “The appliances stop working halfway through a level, or a level just freezes and all progress, including premium ingredients used, is lost.”
- “Once I get in the kitchen and click the rice pot, the game freezes there.”
- “It constantly freezes which is absolutely frustrating and most of the time when I finish a round it stops working and the app closes which loses all my progress.”

Monetization in the game is widely criticized for excessive and intrusive ads that disrupt gameplay, frequently cause crashes or freezes, and often fail to grant promised rewards. In-app purchases are reported to be expensive and sometimes not delivered properly, with poor customer support compounding user frustrations. Many players find the monetization approach aggressive and detrimental to the overall experience, with some expressing a desire for a reasonable no-ads purchase option.
- “It's an IRL cash grab and nothing more.”
- “I loved it for years and now the ads just ruin the game.”
- “In-app purchases are exorbitantly expensive, especially since the crashes are sure to eat some of those resources and the money you paid for it.”

The game's graphics are generally praised for their appealing art style, creativity, and overall visual quality, enhancing the fun and addictive gameplay experience.

- “However, the graphics are so horrible that if I try to get a meal to a customer, sometimes I have to click twice due to which the heart gets reduced. It's because of graphics and the slowness.”
- “Glitchy graphics and loads slow, this is very disappointing.”

The game's story and quests are generally praised for being engaging, charming, and well-integrated with the gameplay, featuring appealing graphics and varied challenges.

- “I am again disappointed....on level 1050 the quests no longer refresh, just remain with a padlock sign.”
- “Been playing this game for years but lately it's harder to get the tokens to get through to the next round; the quests don't give them anymore so I get bored easily now and have stopped playing it.”

Improvements in speed, responsiveness, and UI design are urgently needed to restore smooth gameplay.
