The game is fun and addictive, with cute graphics and characters.
It brings back nostalgia from the original Penguin Diner games, making it enjoyable for long-time fans.
The gameplay is smooth and engaging, providing a good challenge.

The monetization model of the game has received significant criticism, with many players expressing frustration over the reliance on in-app purchases and the limited availability of ads to earn in-game currency. Users report that progression is heavily gated by the need for expensive upgrades and gems, which can only be obtained through real money or by watching ads that often fail to load. Overall, the game is perceived as a "pay-to-win" experience, detracting from its enjoyment and leading some players to consider uninstalling it.
- “I haven't had any issues with it, and my favorite part is that there are no ads!”
- “No ads also, great job.”
- “I love this game; it has no ads.”
- “It's impossible to watch ads like it says you can, and you can't earn gems on levels or progress in the game without spending your real-life money.”
- “The game requires the player to advance by forcing you to collect gems, but the only way you can do that is to make in-app purchases and be very frugal with them.”
- “Literally impossible to unlock further levels/complete challenges unless you pay to win or spam watch a ton of ads.”

The story aspect of the game is marred by a frustrating paywall, where players feel compelled to spend real money on diamonds to progress, as many missions require expensive upgrades that cannot be earned through gameplay. While some users appreciate the engaging gameplay and graphics, the reliance on in-game purchases to complete quests detracts from the overall experience, leading to dissatisfaction among players who remember the charm of earlier versions.
- “I would pay my entire life savings in order to experience this amazing gameplay now with top-notch graphics and a plot that just keeps you hooked throughout the whole story.”
- “I was searching for kitchen story and cooking games, and then I found this and I am totally obsessed with this game!”
- “I absolutely love the game; it has smooth gameplay, no lag, and is pretty much easy to complete quests and gain crystals, so even though I just downloaded it, it's a pretty good game, so this deserves 5 stars.”
- “Used to love the penguin diner game as a kid, but unfortunately this version shows how money hungry the company is. You literally cannot progress without spending money on gems, as most of the missions to get 3 stars require you to buy expensive upgrades which you cannot acquire just by playing the game.”
- “Impossible to reach missions without spending money to buy diamonds that can't be earned from playing the levels. To win the levels, you need to have diamonds to buy the lobsters needed to complete the mission.”
- “Much better than the usual penguin diner ... very cute characters ... great time pass ;) yet there is one problem with it: you get only 35 gems in the beginning and then it's very hard to earn diamonds. Some missions even need diamonds to be completed, hence I cannot complete some daily challenges like the lobsters one.”
