Game Reviews: Cooking Games


So I really enjoy playing games in addition to watching anime. I tend to play games, get tired of them and then uninstall them and try others so I thought that I'd do some posts on them so I'd remember which I've tried already.

I've been feeling like playing cooking games lately, so here are my thoughts on them.

1. Cooking Panic


Homescreen of Cooking Panic
Cooking Panic is a fun time management tapping game where you basically take orders and serve food to your customers. It has many features including upgrading the appliances, the server as well as opening new restaurants. 


Playing Cooking Panic
Why I like this game:
It's fast paced, has great graphics and it's very engaging and fun overall.


Cooking Panic 
Other Comments:
You have 50 energy and when that's done you have to wait quite a while for it to refill, also both coins and diamonds to upgrade equipment and in some levels, diamonds are not easily earned, (ie, you don't get the third star), unless upgrades are made. This can be overcome by opening a new restaurant with the diamonds earned though.

Not a bad game, definately worth a try.

2. Sushi shop


Sushi Shop Loading  
This is another time management game. The background music and setting of the game will definitely get you in the mood to please your hungry for sushi customers.

It has a bit of a slower pace than cooking panic since you get only one customer at a time and also because upgrades are only available at certain levels and each upgrade takes time. You also have 50 energy with this one but once you level up they refill it; still, leveling up takes time.


Playing Sushi Shop

What I like:
It's interactive; you have to place the rice to boil, put the sushi together and drag it to the customer.

Other Comments:
It's kinda repetitive but I suppose as you level up it will be more enjoyable.

3. Star Chef



Loading Star Chef
A cute little restaurant game where you are the owner of a beautiful restaurant, one of your goals in the game is to get it up to a five star restaurant.

Good sound and graphics and a lot to do. However, you also have energy in this game, but you use it to buy groceries or whatever the chef needs to prepare the next meal.


My Restaurant
What I like:
It's customizable so your restaurant could be decorated to reflect your style.

Other Comments:
There's just soo much to do! Plant and harvest vegetables, buy groceries, buy chefs and chef stations, waiting for food to be made, manage supplies and the list goes on...

4. Stirfry Stunts


StirFry Stunts Loading 
It's based on a cartoon network cartoon and while I'll admit I've never seen it before the characters kinda reminded me of Shirokuma Café so I gave it a try.

It's another time management game and you don't have in game energy! Lucky 🍀
You're basically making food for your customers until you lose your three lives.


Playing StirFry Stunts
What I like:
No energy is needed, fast paced and nice graphics and sounds.

Other Comments:
The really good upgrades are super expensive but I guess if you got them early on it would kill the fun of the game.

5. Cooking Fans


Cooking Fans Loading
I have to admit, of all I've spoken of thus far, this game has been my favorite. No energy is required, so no wait time, it has good graphics and coins and diamonds are really easy to earn. 

Cooking fans is a time management game where you cook food for your customers and with the coins and diamonds you earn, you can upgrade the cooking equipment in your resturant stall as well as the style of the resturant and a couple resturants are available ex. A burger resturant and a ramen resturant.


Playing Cooking Fans
What I like:
No wait time between levels, you get a variety of resturants and you get the chance to double your earnings by watching ads.

Other comments:
There are a lot of ads but it was bearable and it woukd have been nicer if the resturant decorations were customizable to suit the players style.

So these are some cooking games I've been playing and my opinions on them. I have played others and maybe I'll write about some of my favorite ones next time 😘

Boruto- Naruto Next Generations




Funny, Witty, adventurous and of course, action packed! Boruto- Naruto Next Generation is an anime full of soul.

If you're a Naruto fan, this anime is basically a continuation of Naruto Shippuden after the great ninja war, however, it follows the life of Naruto's son, Uzumaki Boruto.💮



Even if you haven't followed Naruto from his days at the ninja academy until his inauguration as the 7th Hokage, I'm still convinced that this anime, so full of action, adventure and creativity, would captivate you, and who isn't curious about ninja's? 🎯


Left to Right: Himawari, Naruto and Boruto Uzumaki
The diversity of characters in the Naruto world is limitless, and while the offspring of the previous generation may have similar personalities or faces to their parents, it's fun to watch their individual experience as they grow up in a more technologically advanced world. In addition, it's nice to see how their parents have matured since Naruto Shippuden.

Left to Right: Denki, Iwabe and Metal
What I really love about this anime is that it actually teaches valuable life lessons ; the greatest of all being that with hard work and perseverance you can become someone great.



It's an awesome anime to binge watch so give it a try next time you feel for some action and adventure!

Rokuhoudou- sweet, warm, relaxing



From left to right: Tokitaka, Tsubaki, Sui, Gregorio

So I've seen until episode 6 thus far and yes, Rokuhoudou is an anime I would recommend to anyone!




Warm, funny, good humored, and clean. Watching this anime feels like drinking a hot cup of tea on a cold day. 



It's an anime following the lives of four men who run a small Japanese styled tea shop. Their main goal is to put a smile on the faces of their customers. 



In this story, Sui is the owner of small Japanese styled restaurant which he inherited from his grandfather. His dream was to reopen his grandfather's restaurant. He was able to do just that when he reunited with his friend from middle school; Tokitaka, as he was searching for eating wares for his restaurant. Along with Tsubaki; a sweets chef and Gregorio, a barista; the four men enjoy a life of full of friendship and making their customers happy!




It's a great anime to relax to and it might be a good anime to watch before bed because it puts you in a peaceful frame of mind (or me at least.)



The characters are like brothers and it's slice of life theme can allow anyone to relate to and learn a thing or two from this anime.

And, the guys have really cute personalities too!

It's definitely a must watch!

Rokuhoudou Yotsuiro Biyori







I am finally on vacation thus I have no guilt or shame in watching anime and I feel I've found one with exactly the aura I was looking for; relaxing.




Rokuhodou Yotsuiro Biyori, just rolls off the tongue right? But so far it really hits the spot for me. I love anime with a calm feel, which also has some comedy and of course cute guys 😘 although I'm mostly falling for the one with red hair.

I've only watched the first episode thus far but it seems to be about four guys who work at a Japanese styled restaurant. It definitely has it's own charm to it and I'll update with more info as I continue the series. It certainly has a lot of potential in my books- #moreplease!
