Really good restaurant sim. Cooking the dishes yourself is actually fun and there’s a lot more to do than just stand in the kitchen. You build your menu, buy ingredients, organize the restaurant, hire staff and slowly improve everything. Some days in the kitchen can get pretty chaotic, especially when several orders come in at once, but that’s part of the fun. There’s plenty to unlock and enough different recipes that I never felt like I was doing the exact same thing all the time. Definitely one of the better cooking games I’ve played.
A cozy game for cooking and creating recipes. You can fail at cooking or elevate your dishes. Some of the food, you can pre-prepare and put on heating but that is up to your exploration because once you "open your restaurant" some of these prep may disappear (annoying but i learn from my mistakes). You can present the dish in your own way. It's a slower game, there is no full-house so far I've played due to the limited service time. Kitchen helpers can help prepare the foods but they can't use the prep ingredients you already have. So they'll need to prep from start to finish. As a perfectionist, I try to get a high rating on each dish. Remembering the recipe steps a bit challenging for me (haha, maybe some of you have better memory). Otherwise it's a really nice game.
Honestly this game makes me feel like im running my kitchen. It's not a hard game so far but i can see how it can get challenging. There's controls so you can make it as easy or as stressful as you want. I like that you unlock new recipes as you play and then will eventually have to sub menu items out to have the new ones on the menu. Im intrigued to see what all I can do in this game
