I tried this game on a whim because it actually looked like a lot of fun. Boy, was I wrong. It's a match 3 game, so it shouldn't be too complicated, but they just threw you into the first level without even telling you how some of the game pieces worked. I managed to finish the first level and got to the second, only to be immediately stumped because it went from relatively easy and self explanatory-ish to "whoa, what is this". It didn't even appear that there was a solution to the second level and I had to wait for the computer to point out a move for me before I could do anything. I didn't have fun with this game and I found myself more frustrated than I should have been... after only two levels. I'm not asking for an easy game, but this could've been done a lot better. On top of which, I couldn't even get the game to go into windowed mode and the edges of the game screen kept flickering!
The graphics were good, music was good. That's about all that was good with this game.

I agree with the two reviewers before me. The game is fun, but not challenging at all. The most challenging thing in the game that I met with in my one hour trial was the drink machine, since there was more than one step to it.
The graphics were cute - very anime. The story line was original, too, and interesting.
In going from level to level, there seemed to be a little bit of "graphical lag" for me. The game would cause my screen to flicker in going from one scene to another, but nothing that caused any real concern, and nothing that interfered with the game itself.
I'd recommend this to someone who wants a mindless, relaxing game, but not to those looking for a challenge.
I don't recommend this game.

This game is just like every other match-three-clear-the-box game. There's nothing new there in the game play. As such, I quickly grew bored with the game. There wasn't any real challenge in it at all. It's a good time waster, but that's about it.
It did become annoying at one point because you have to sit through *everything.* You can't just click the screen to make the storyline or the end of level screen hurry up.
The storyline was also very cliche; it's been done several times before. Nothing new there, either. It is better than most, though, so I'll give it that.
The graphics are okay, but they're not great, either. I've given the game a three overall because it isn't the worst game that I've ever played, but it certainly isn't the best.
I don't recommend this game.

Good things about the game: 1) Creating your own recipes. 2) Having to be accurate about how you plate your creations. 3) Graphics are adorable and the storyline is pretty cute, but very simple.
Bad things about the game: 1) You only have ten seconds to plate your dishes. 2) Having to be accurate about plating your dishes in that ten second window, which is nearly impossible if you're trying to plate a dessert and fry something at the same time.
Overall: Not so great. Fun for the first five levels - after that, the gameplay becomes too complicated. If you want something that will really take all of your concentration and patience, this is the game for you.
I don't recommend this game.

This was one of those games that I just did not want to stop playing!
The graphics were beautiful, the sound was excellent and the story... was amazing. It was mainly because of the story line that I did not want to stop playing. It was so good that I just had to play the next level and the next just so that I could find out what happened to the main characters.
If you love mahjong and you love good stories, then definitely buy this game!
I recommend this game!

This is honestly one of the best games that I've ever played. I've always been a big fan of the Diner Dash series, and this one takes the cake!
It's fun, challenging; the storyline is great and obviously well thought-out. Not to mention that the graphics and sounds are great, too! I would definitely recommend this game.
I recommend this game!

This game is definitely not what I was expecting. In most bubble shooter games that I have played, if you make a match above a group of bubbles, the whole group drops. Not in this game. Instead, you have to pop every single group.
The game was more annoying than challenging because of this. The storyline was alright. The graphics, I thought, were very pretty and well-done. I would not buy this game, but it is worth trying.
I don't recommend this game.

If you've ever played Pizza Chef, Burger Rush, or Restaurant Rush, this game is almost exactly like those. There's just one big difference: this game is awful!
First of all, the patience of the customers is extremely low, especially considering that actually making enough matches to meet the dish's requirements can be overly... challenging. Several of my customers left with only one heart because I simply did not have the required ingredients on my board. Granted, there's an easy mode to this game, but where's the fun in that?
Secondly, finding a way /OUT/ of the game is even more challenging! I actually had to put the game into windowed mode, just so that I could exit out of it because any other conventional way wasn't evidently clear. In fact, I don't think that there was one.
On top of which, there wasn't really a story line. There's not even really a plot. It just sort of delves into the story without any real explanation... I feel as if whoever wrote the actual story didn't try very hard.
For me, it was too challenging and way, way too annoying. Even though the graphics were good, I definitely would not waste my game credit on this one.
I don't recommend this game.
