I used to love this game, I was playing it everyday for weeks. The most recent update means it's impossible to do levels. The amount of diamonds you need has doubled. The adverts hardly give you any coins or diamonds anymore. I will end up uninstalling it and looking for something else.

They clearly want you to lose, the money is made purposely tight in unfair ways like taking away your upgrades every now and then, and you can argue it is to keep it challenging, but when just as they do that a micro transaction pops up is hard to say it's not intended, it's an okay game to pass of a dead half an hour if you have an add block, but really money hungry

Agree with others, it's a fun game until you get further into the game and it's near impossible to gain the coins you need to get the necessary upgrades. There should be another way of being able to get coins as I would delete the game before buying coins. Also agree that if you pay 1000 diamonds for auto clean it should apply to all levels as diamonds are hardly given out. Slowly losing patience with the game.

The game was fun at first but im already stuck on level 29 and it costs 100 gems just to continue a level. The rolling items in the ad is just a bonus game that happens every 5-10 levels. The cost of upgrades is way too high and you only get like 50 coins for failing a level

Long story short: fun game, harsh difficulty, especially if u don't spend money. I stay for the cute chef guy. It's nice, but note that what is advertised isn't what the game is like. Also, the game gets aggressively harder to the point where anytime ur close to having things run easier, they up the difficulty. Seriously, it feels like a pay to win situation. Also u guys should change ur advertising right? Like the images are not how the game works💀💀

Everything is too expensive. You don't earn enough coins and gems making you have to replay levels for a very long time to get little reward. I've been trying to get past the same level for over a week because it's taking so long to get the coins and gems to get the upgrades to be able to finish it. To credit them though I haven't had any forced ads and this is what makes me keep trying with the game. Sometimes I even wish there were more ads to earn more stuff 😂

When I first started playing the game it was great but then got to a point where you can't move forward without spending money. THEN they recently made changes that make it impossible without spending. I get that the developers need to make money but now it's just frustrating. Even once you finish levels and enter into challenge mode, you'll have to spend in order to move forward once you've upgraded everything with coins. Removing the app now because it's more frustrating than fun.

I enjoy it 😊. The reason it isn't a 5-star game is because the upgrades cost a ridiculously exaggerated amount of money in the higher levels, which makes some levels nearly impossible to complete without spending money. Even then, the gems, etc., you get with purchasing aren't nearly enough to get the full upgrades you need. So, you need to keep playing the same level over and over just to get the tiny amount of gold each time so you can save up for an upgrade, which most won't like or find fun

At first starts out good. Then becomes impossible to win without spending money. Even if upgraded customers eat slower and slower and goes back to original before upgrading so you forced to continuously spend coins .And she walks slow even after fully upgrading Then in order to fully upgrade appliances to the max need to use a ridiculous amount of gems. Unlike other games of this ganre it doesn't give you option to watch ads for more time so you don't lose lives. Pay to play.

Overall it's a fun little concept, but the chefs too frequently INCREASE the time it takes to serve a customer unless you constantly upgrade them, which is a mechanic solely intended to make you spend money on coins. Watching your chefs get slower and therefore only earning 60 coins for a failed level (when all 4 take about 4000+ to upgrade) is too frustrating to deal with.

Really loved this game when I first started, however, once you level up the chefs and you go back into the game they are right back to the beginning as if you never leveled them up. I have screenshots of getting them to 19s then all of a sudden they are back up to 45s. It's bullcrap. I also contacted them in the game about this with no response. I have spent money in the game, not that I really had too, but I wanted to support them because it was a great game. No anymore

I'm REALLY good at time management games. While this one has a ton of content and works very well, it's impossible to progress without paying for coins, unless you want to fail the same level a TON just to get enough coins to upgrade ONE little thing. They need to fix that if they want to retain players. I'm happy to pay a few dollars here and there but I don't enjoy feeling like I'm paying to win.

The game was fun for a short while. Then the levels became impossible to win after reaching a certain point. After every level or so, your chefs suddenly become slower at serving, making your previous "upgrade" for them irrelevant. If you're wanting a game to sink real money in and get basically nothing in return, then this is for you.

I love this game. I do get frustrated it takes forever to pass levels but I think its a healthy balance of fun and challenging it always makes me wanna keep trying over and over to beat the level where as some games are just too easy I love everything about this game. I love the different themes and levels as well and the challenge modes. Whoever made this game did an excellent job!

Game had a lot of potential but it's overall garbage. You barely make any coins when you lose a level so it takes way too long to get enough to upgrade to even BEAT the level. Idk who would spend $2 on 100 gems to transfer into 1,000 coins; that's not even one upgrade. If the game was more fun, or engaging, or felt like the upgrades actually mattered, then maybe I would spend real money on it. These mobile game companies really need to learn risk v reward when it comes to these games.

It's a decent game, and it's fun. Not a lot of aggressive ads. However, it's entirely stacked pay to play. You can win without playing, but it is redundant and incredibly, frustratingly, slow. I can't give it any more than a three given that when you play a level you're given meager coins for the exorbitant cost of upgrading.

At first, I really loved this game because of its similarities to the original Diner Dash. The levels are fun, and the game is very addicting. That being said, after the first restaurant, the game progress comes to a grinding halt. Yes, the levels are fun, but without progression, it gets just a bit too tedious and grindy. I respect that games require a bit of an algorithm to prevent players from flying through, but I'm not spending hours just to advance one level. Not a long-term game.
