My Hot Pot Story

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 :)

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Very good game had a great experience its just tough I lost interest because there was no east way to accumulate training books, I needed to pass service to get the next level it's impossible without spending 30 dollars and I don't think that would be enough. And from what I'm reading on reviews noone has reached the buffet level which should tell the designer something. Great concept and recipes

Really fun game easy to play. But that Bell is really annoying. I really wish I could turn it off. I have staff for all those tasks. So why do I have to constantly hear it go off? And it is extremely constant it's so annoying I can't play this game for more than a couple minutes at a time. You should add a feature where we can turn that bell off

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.

It's a cool game. There aren't any overbearing ads, and the only time you really have to watch them is to double rewards. But, after reading the other reviews as a new player, I can see the flaws that this game has through the other more long-time players. It's a fun game, but it's a shame that a lot of things turn into "pay to play" farther down the line it seems.

Like others have said, the amount of work needed to get to gold 1 is completely unbalanced. The staff points needed to level up would make sense if we had access to buffet at this point, but we don't. When I was looking at the tier requirements BEFORE reaching silver 3, I noticed the amount of staff points necessary for gold were reasonable and was excited. I got both silver 1 and 2 as expected but noticed the amount needed for staff had changed! I think this may just be a bug! Please patch it.

I really love this game... it's a lot of fun... WHEN you're able to play it! It keeps crashing and closing out, and when it doesn't crash it glitches out to where you're not able to see any of the writing. This means you can't see how much money you have, can't make purchases, can't do anything until you restart the game. And then it happens again just a couple minutes later.

Easy to play and enjoyable for the first bit. The difficulty of increasing the food rating quickly takes this away the fun and either you are waiting for the next time you can merge items in the mini game or needing to purchase elements to make new dishes. The discrepancy between increasing food rating and decor rating is unnecessary.

Interesting game with nice visuals. No forced ads or annoying pop ups. The glaring issue is going from silver 3 to gold one. The amount of training books you need to upgrade your staff to a 2400 rating is beyond ridiculous. Also there are a ton of events and features gated behind the gold tier upgrades. Unless you spend in the triple digits you are looking at months of slow, tedious grinding to make it past this point Items in the cash shop are overpriced for what the give you.

Very cute game. Minimal ads, only time you see ads is if you want something, its voluntary, not all up in your face. I fell asleep with the game running and it didnt turn my screen off so thats a plus for leaving it afk for a while, youll have a lot of money when you return. Again, ads are voluntary, not every 30 seconds like most games. Edit to add after a while. Im still lovin the game. I enjoy the time it takes to upgrade. Ig other people are impatient *shrugs*

BRING BACK THE 30 SECOND AD COOL DOWN FOR GEMS I had a lot of fun playing this until Gold 2. This is a cute and fun idle game, but it was already a slog to get through advertisements for gems. You need so many gems in this game to progress and the new update made it unplayable. It already takes months of ad watching and gem accumulation to get to Gold 3, now I feel like that could take up to a year, no exaggeration. I get free to play = lots of ads, but this is just ridiculous!!!

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.)
