May 2026

One of my favorite things about this game has to be the humor in the item descriptions. Instead of using plain descriptions, the game includes little jokes and cultural references that make reading each item surprisingly entertaining. For example, the chili sauce is described as “sepedas omongan tetangga” , which is a phrase commonly heard in everyday life in Indonesia. Overall, this is exactly the kind of game I’m really into. It’s cozy, relaxing, and just really enjoyable to play. If you like cooking games with management elements, interactive cooking mechanics, character interactions, a bit of story, chill music, cute visuals, and a touch of humor, I think you’ll probably enjoy this one too.

I just want to say I really appreciate the cozy mode in this game. Being able to step away anytime without pressure means a lot. I’ve been dealing with a lot of pain recently and don’t have the energy for much, but this game still keeps me engaged and gives me something to focus on. Thank you to the devs for creating something like this.

One of game genre I've probably played for a long time, the last time being Cooking Mama?! Maybe. What sets it apart from other games in the same genre is its unique slice-of-life storyline, which incorporates the meaning of friendship, a touch of romance, and humor. It also features mini-social links between characters, similar to the Persona series, that unlock partner skillsets. It also offers a diverse menu of local Indonesian dishes (dozens of dishes available). The character development is quite mature, with each character having a detailed and unique backstory, goals, traits, and behaviors. Stella, the Rival, also has her own unique aura. The tournament system adds even more in-game features, with the goal of becoming the city's #1 restaurant. Players also need to think strategically about selecting tournament partners, considering their skill sets, whether it's worth defeating competitors and winning the judges' hearts. And of course, there are additional cooking mechanics that differ from the usual daily cooking. Perhaps in future installments, we could introduce different local dishes beyond just chicken noodles, meatballs, satay, juice, etc. Nice work from "Gambir Studio" one of the local Indonesian developers this year, regarding the work of local developers of course I'm also waiting for releases such as DreadOut 3, Act of Bloods, Agni: Village of Calamity, Andalas, Raji, Jurit, Blades of Mirage, Garuda Emblem and many more 💯

This game saved my life I was about to open VALORANT when i saw this game on the front page of steam and bought it. Best decision ever

If you like cooking games, then this is a no brainer. Easily a top cooking sim of 2026! It is a dash of Cooking Mama, with a lil quirkiness from Good Pizza, Great Pizza meets anime style Top Chef all combined to make the most satisfying bowl of noodles *om nom nom* The gameplay loop is simple but varied enough to keep me coming back for more. By day, you manage your noodle bowl shop. You take orders, prep, cook, plate and serve up tasty bowls earning reputation to become the best noodle shop in town. By night, you can explore, shop around, build relationships with the memorable cast or compete in the games rendition of Iron Chef. There are even mini games sprinkled throughout to spice things up. You can customize your restaurant front and craft new recipes for your menu. All this coupled with a wholesome story (and a cozy mode with no timer or patience meters, yahooo!!) The best part of this game tho, is the artwork. It is really stunning and well done to fit the style of the game. It plays flawlessly and very comfortably on the deck for a sim. Overall, this bowl hits all the right spots and is 100% worth your money and time if you are a fan of the genre.
