  • story
    58 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is engaging and features elements of humor, allowing players to build friendships and unlock new content as they progress. While the narrative is simple and somewhat predictable, it is complemented by enjoyable side quests and character interactions, though some players find the gameplay can become monotonous and grindy over time. Overall, the story adds a fun layer to the experience, despite some criticisms regarding its repetitiveness and lack of depth in certain areas.

    • “The story has elements of humor in it and is fun.”
    • “I love that there is a story and being able to run a restaurant while making friends with the people in town!”
    • “I can tell the devs put a lot of thought into the storylines, which I appreciate!”
    • “The story won't change.”
    • “Really wanted to love this game, but I second other reviews saying it's boring: the map is super small, the lines with the NPCs are just not engaging (I started skipping them super fast when I grow our relationships), the rewards for growing the relationships are really not that great, and the gameplay is boring, especially the quest to get to level 15... it never ends.”
    • “Story seems a bit predictable but I am willing to see where it goes.”
  • gameplay
    48 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally described as charming and relaxing, with an addictive loop that involves buying furniture and ingredients while managing tasks on a conveyor belt. However, some players find it repetitive and lacking in engagement, particularly with NPC interactions and the slow progression towards higher levels. While the tutorial effectively introduces the mechanics, the overall experience can feel grindy, especially when rewards for relationship-building are deemed unsatisfactory.

    • “The gameplay loop makes the grind feel like it's not even there, though the reputation for the last 5 levels could stand to go a bit faster and the option to hide the challenges once there are no rewards left to buy would be welcome.”
    • “I also enjoy the lack of a timer outside of shifts, how the tasks connect to one another to advance the plot pretty organically, and I enjoy the mechanics used for upgrading my sushi and friendships. Looking forward to playing more!”
    • “[tldr; if you're looking for a charming and relaxing game with beautiful design and an addictive gameplay loop, give it a try.”
    • “You can collect costumes and honks, but they are not tracked and involve a weird kind of gameplay you encounter only there, which I stayed away from.”
    • “Really wanted to love this game, but I second other reviews saying it's boring: the map is super small, the lines with the NPCs are just not engaging (I started skipping them super fast when I grow our relationships), the rewards for growing the relationships are really not that great, and the gameplay is boring, especially the quest to get to level 15... it never ends.”
    • “There's dirty table and customers falling asleep mechanics to add a bit of challenge, but these are just annoying.”
  • grinding
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be somewhat tedious, particularly when reaching level 20 for the final achievement, which can feel monotonous and painful. While the gameplay remains enjoyable and fresh due to story progression, the lack of additional features like farming or customization options contributes to the grindy experience. Overall, the game is recommended for fans of cozy genres, despite its grinding elements.

    • “The gameplay is relatively simple and easy; there's enough story and new things you unlock through story progression that keeps it feeling fresh, but it can feel a tiny bit monotonous and grindy in some aspects.”
    • “Overall, a really fun game, even though getting to level 20 for the last achievement was a little tedious.”
    • “Grinding all the way to level 20 is just painful, and the only reason that I’m doing so is to get the whole $15 worth out of this game.”
  • emotional
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is described as a super cute and wholesome restaurant management experience, perfect for players seeking relaxation rather than emotional depth.
