My Hot Pot Story

I really wanted to enjoy this game but progression is just so slow and everything is so expensive. There's also no way to turn off the annoying and frankly headache inducing bell. The synthesizer for ingredients is fine, but the merge for getitng new hotpot soups is confusing and takes so long. You don't get very far before the flavour is out for cooldown. It's fine game idea but not executed right.

Great idle game. I haven't spent any money on the game and I've unlocked the buffet. I don't know what other reviewers are talking about. This game is undemanding, full of things to do, and there aren't any time restraints apart from how long it takes to make money. Good events with chances to gain things not usually available. They're slowly adding to the game as well. And it's nice that max offline time limits get longer as you go.

Very cute, no annoying ads, and when l do get ads for more money it's always helpful. Update: the game is getting 5 stars^^. I just made a small mistake that lead to me misunderstanding the issue with claiming the tips from the tip jar. Only complaint is that the instructions to play can be a bit confusing. Basically they don't show which icons to tap to access the develope area for example. I was a bit confused because they're are alot of buttons. Either way great job game devs!

The game itself isn't bad, it's kept my attention for a little over a month now. I was enjoying the rate of progression and the ability to watch an ad to get gems if you wanted. However I came back a few days ago to an update that took the ad watching away and honestly, that just bogged down the rate of progression incredibly. I'm stuck at Silver 3, and having to wait for the daily refresh for 20 gems is, imo just too little for me to want to continue. It's basically pay to play now. #Uninstall

A unique restaurant and idle gameplay experience. It is slower than other idle games (for those who want AFK type games) but progress is nice and steady. No intrusive ads out of nowhere and completely optional. There is a a merge area that you use for recipes and broths. There is a cooldown between use of items but not crazy and adds to relying on the idle part of the game. I am still checking to see how long is the game's story but so far, this is a solid game to play. Only issue is the sound.

I think this is a cute little game. I haven't unlocked a lot of stories yet, but the one I have are sweet or silly. The translation is a little rough at times, but nothing that you can't understand. I think there should be a more understanding tutorial when it comes to merging ingredients to unlock broths. Rather than the little picture book you're given. Overall, this game is a good time killer and amusing.

Fun until you reach Gold ⭐⭐. It's virtually impossible to get past this level. Even with spending real money. Every employee is maxed out (except mystery dancer who I don't own yet) but I'm still short over 400 service rating points. So I need new uniforms which still won't get me far since the good ones are still only 25 points. Not that there are many options to buy them anyway. (Until this recent event which is way to expensive anyway. Especially since it'll barely help anyway.)

If you love hotpot, this game can be pretty fun to see a restaurant build up under your influence. It is a little on a set path to progression, and developing dishes is all RNG, it's still got the right elements to make it enjoyable as a bit of a passive investment to check in on once you get it going and being totally self sustaining. I was hoping to make actual dishes myself and see them get ranked based on how the customers like it, and see the success of the restaurant be more based on that

It's a cool little game. I like it, but I don't like the fact that everything gets so expensive as you move up. I'm on silver level 2 and I've already paid around 30 bucks just to get there with money and diamonds. I mean 200+ grand for a table.. please. Be reasonable! Make things more affordable, otherwise people are just going to uninstall when they hit this point. No one wants to waste real money with no true reward and no real help from the game honestly.

I've been playing this game for awhile, but now I'm stuck. I quite literally cannot buy any more upgrades in the shop, yet my facility rating isn't full? It doesn't make any sense I'm convinced the game doesn't want me to get to gold 3. Stop making the milestones so hard to reach!! 1600 ads watched for 300 coins and fish are you kidding me? Ripoff, please update the game.

Used to love this game! I've had it for quite some time. They just updated it and took away the ability to watch ads for gems - now they only have the option to purchase them. Which is a real bummer. Such a gorgeous game, and they're turning it into a money grab. Also, watch 600 ads to win the first tier of level 1 rewards? Unless you purchase something, then you can skip 500 of those. Of course. Shame. Will be deleting.

I really like this game but I'm starting to lose interest a little. The layout (although not ideal) doesn't bother me as much as it seems to bother some, and I also have to restart my phone for it to show how much money I actually made while I was gone sometimes. But the real problem is after you get so far it becomes too hard to advance. The training books take forever to get and only give you like 6 points when you need thousands. After a while you get tired of waiting to advance.

This game has a cute art style, endearing NPCs who all have a little story (without being overwhelming) & upgrading is easy & fun. Usually games like this dont keep my attention for long but this is the exception. I have a great time upgrading my shop, playing the matching game in storage, & checkin in a few times a day without being overwhelmed by this game. It definitely helped keep my attention when I was sick & I've loved it ever since :) you also get 20 free diamonds a day so that's nice :)

No obnoxious push ads AT ALL, that alone gets five stars! In fact, I couldn't even find the optional ads for the first hour of playing (devs, put this in the tutorial!). I absolutely adore this game - there are tons of variety of foods, decorations, staff, etc. The conversations the guests occasionally have are wonderful too, please make this more often! And I feel engaged the entire time playing, I don't feel like I am standing around idle too long while waiting for money to accumulate.

This game is very fun. It's easy to get the gems, money and ingredients but still challenging enough that you won't get bored. The characters are all really cute and I like the art. The cat's daily adventures are my favorite part to read. I like the concept and gameplay. It's a lot more fun than past idle restaurant games I've played. I do wish it had some sort of story line to follow, but other than that this is definitely one of the better food idle games I've played.

30 minute time killer. No ads. This is my "I'm on lunch" game for work. You collect your daily gems, play the arcade game and manage your resources wisely to climb the star chain. Follow the achievements. It's a good guide. It's pay to win if you want instant gratification. But if you really don't care how slow you go. It's not bad at all. I'm currently silver 2 stars and have been for a week or so. Trying to get to Silver 3 stars. I spent 5 dollars for the deal at the start of the game. Dats it

Cute game with lots of upgrades, but no real customization outside of upgrading to the newest thing. The new event with the plate and the dog dropping a dish down has no instructions and I used all of my attempts trying to figure out the mini game. I get one dish on the plate below, then anything after is a game over. I'm unsure if it's intentional? Aside from that, it's a nice thing to pass the time with. I also wouldn't make the dish ingredients you obtain from the cat be an online only thing

I have been playing this game for a few months and I really enjoy it. I'm at Gold 2, but now I am noticing some major concerns. I purchased everything in the store and upgraded my buffet to the highest level so my facility rating is at max compacity, however my facility rating is still only 199,543 and Gold 3 requires 200,000. It is literally impossible for me to continue to Gold 3 because there is nothing left to buy. I have been enjoying this app but this error is so frustrating and sad!

The game overall is very good but could use some cleaning up. There are a few translation issues with the customers text bubbles. I also think that getting new hotpot recipes is a bit difficult to do without watching ads or buying diamonds. Besides this the game is very fun and the only thing I would add is maybe a common to rare gatcha thing for the dishes.

Was fun at first. Stuck at silver 3 trying to get gold 1. Training books and yummy cookies are too hard to get. The service rating is hard to raise. This new update changed the game from "free to play" to "pay to play". No more option to watch ads at all. You have to pay over 15 dollars for packs or pay for gems. And the reward points thing required you to "watch 1 ad to get 1 point". You have to watch 600 adds to reach level 1. Which means you have to buy packs. I used to like this game.
