5 stars: this game is super cute and addicting! it does gets harder and harder to progress to the next restaurant level but I don't mind as it keeps the game's longevity. upgrade costs are fair as it's very easy to earn enough cash and the
3 stars: For the most part this is a fun game. It's aesthetic and the ads are unobtrusive. The biggest downside is that sometimes when you watch an ad to get gems the game will freeze and not give you the gems after you've already watched the ad. I find the ad issue frustrating but not enough to quit playing...it just takes more time to build up your restaurant.
2 stars: Really enjoyed it at the beginning, clearly developer has done a really good job in terms of hotpot research. Not fun after silver 3, taking me ages to level up and amount of points needed for service and facility rating are ridiculous, especially training books are so hard and expensive to get, and became like a chore after a while.
2 stars: The game's a well-designed tycoon that feels fun and rewarding to play - until you reach a certain level (silver 3) after which levelling up has been made impossible without spending tens of euros of money or watching *hundreds* of ads. I don't mind ads in a free-to-play game but this level of ads per player I just don't find good-faith game design.
