Too much going on. I used to play Diner dash years ago and it was sooooo fun! Now, why is it so chaotic and extra? There’s just too much going on. You can’t just play a level to get to the next upgraded level. You have to pass each level with at least 4 stars then you have to upgrade each individual thing with gold bars that are random/difficult to get to get to the next SUBsection of ONE restaurant. There’s like 50 locked restaurants which is cool but it’s like you have to spend 50 gold bars and 5,000cash just to open one and remember the gold bars only come randomly and are needed for upgrading your kitchen/food. Then you get VIPs? Which are cool but also you have to somehow design their dish or something and then that’s only for a limited time then you have to earn more points/cash to unlock each of them and they don’t stay unlocked. Then they let you try super quick granny as your chef but only for 1 round then you have to buy her. It’s like designed so so hectic for no reason. I just want to serve the people food and upgrade my kitchen as I go and try new recipes/restaurants but it’s like they’re trying RElly Poorly to force you to spend your money on a super confusing game. SIMPLIFY IT GAME DESIGNERS THANKS.

Great game spoiled by issues. I absolutely loved every game with Flo, from Diner Dash Classic to Hotel Dash, so i decided Cooking Dash was worth a shot. The game is very fun; its layout is creative and the premise is challenging, but still enjoyable. The problems come in with glitches and game mechanics. Firstly, videos often do not give rewards as they as supposed to. Secondly, it is very hard to get anywhere after the first show/restaurant, Table Steaks. I was unable to get more than 1 star on many levels in the Eats for Earth restaurant even with upgrades. It is implied that you must spend real money to get anywhere in the game, which I (along with many other players) refuse to do. Thirdly, the game has glitches. I recently experienced a glitch where the game suddenly gave me (no exaggeration) 8,000,000 experience and leveled me up nonstop. I am unable to leave the Level Up screen, and I am unable to play the game any longer due to the inescapable screen. If this game was adjusted, it would easily earn 5 stars. However, due to its issues, it is only worthy of 2 stars. It’s a shame that such a good game is ruined by its monumental issues.

Getting Fried. Ok, so I still like the game~but use to love it. Any and all updates mean you're going to pay if you want to enjoy the game to it's fullest..and of course, this is just wrong. I'm not sure why the developers ask for feedback and reviews when it's pretty obvious to the players that you aren't listening...once you get the all mighty Facebook "Like" you seem to think your work is done. Not even close. Here's an example..You give us a great new ice cream restaurant to run with a hoppin, groovin auto chef who doesn't give you the correct ice cream to serve your current customer...nice. No matter how you try, you are either going to loose that customer or run out of time trying to get the right order from the chef as you can no longer choose which flavor you want once you have auto chef in play. So, I've wasted my VIP, my regular and my 10 groceries...NUMEROUS TIMES. I could go on, but not worth any more of my time. Just beware when you play~it isn't all cake, there are a lot of brussel sprouts in there as well.

Money Hungary. This game is money Hungary. I’ve had this game since it came out and have had to reset it 50 plus times because no matter what you do, you can’t win. You spend tons of money and upgrade your tail off and still ya can’t win. It takes months to get anywhere and you can’t even barely win the competitions! I’ve almost fully upgraded restaurants and even bought the auto chef. And served everything fast and perfectly, still lose. Over and over. I used to waitress for 20 plus years, and bartended, too. I was the cook, waitress, chef maid and all, and I’m now a professional chef... They call me The Tasmanian devil, “Taz”... because I could spin circles in the restaurant and serve perfectly and speedy, and I was so smiley and chipper and made people’s day, they called me the perfect waitress. So I can run circles around this game and if in real life they were really the waiter,cook, chef, whatever, they could not run circles around me at all in the real world. And one more thing, if ya mess a plate up, in the real world you can set it down. And remake and wrap the food and save it or sell for someone who needs it. You can set it down, right? Well not in the game. Real not real world at all. I’ve found way better cooking games that don’t take your money and run.

Fun but….. I have played this game for years. As a mom it is one of my few guilty pleasures. The game itself is fun, but there is one frustrating aspect to it-in order to upgrade your restaurant you need gold. Up until recently one was able to “earn” up to 8 bars of gold by watching short advertisements each day. Then you can earn three more bars for completing daily tasks, sometimes one being to watch the advertisements. Otherwise you can purchase gold which is not cheap. Recently the option to watch ads has been taken away. I was sent a message when I inquired saying that there were still other opportunities to earn gold, but those require you to sign up for services, take surveys or purchase something. I get wanting to make money off this, but this is frustrating. I just want to play the game without having to buy something in order to play it. I wish they had the option to buy gold with the coins you earn, or something. I would be willing to pay a one time fee for the game. I hope the creators come up with something different in regards to the gold otherwise I will probably be deleting it. Had they not changed the way to earn gold I would have given this game five stars

Love it. I freaking love this game. I started playing a long time ago and accumulated so much until the game wiped out my entire playing record. (By accident hopefully?) it was unrecoverable. I stopped playing after that e wise that was years of play time. But missed it so much after a while that I decided to reload and started playing again. It’s so unique compared to all the other “similar” games to it but they don’t come close in my opinion. I love having different restaurants requiring different meal preps. Some are easy and fun, some difficult but I’m not required to play only one restaurant which makes it so much more fun to play. Daily quests and weekend fun are such a fun addition to keep me playing. On major holidays it’ll give you good too - like Christmas, which keeps me checking in even when I’m not playing every day. Great game.

I’m not even a gamer. But this was a game I would love to play and I did not mind spending money in it at all. It is expensive like people say but I would take my time with it. And my game unfortunately got uninstalled and I wasn’t aware for a while. So when I downloaded it back I’ve been trying to sync through facebook but it hasn’t been working.😩 So I contacted customer service. They basically told me to do the same thing I’ve already tried . I feel like they should have a better way to get people their game progress back cause people like me don’t mind spending the money on the game but I worked so hard and spent so much money already. They should have some way to troubleshoot people’s game progress back. It took me months to get where I was and a lot of money spending . I had 5 stars on every episode, auto chefs, and total food upgrade FOR EVERY SINGLE RESTAURANT I HAD OPEN. Not to mention it gets more expensive the farther you get . That took a lot of hard work and if they can’t find another way to get me my progress back I will no longer playing cause I’ve already had to start the game over twice I will not a third time .

I love the game. I’ve read quit a lot of reviews and here’s what I have. First of all- I don’t try to earn gold by doing anything that takes me out of the app. I only watch the commercials. Secondly, I used to see that even after watching the commercials I wouldn’t get my gold. Here’s the thing- I’ve realized that after the commercial is over, you have to wait a second till the pop up says you’ve earned your gold. I’m pretty far along in the game- I’m up to level 93. I really enjoy it. Yes, the price of upgrades has gone up but you also have the chance of earning 3 gold bars a day. That helps. I’ve also learned to use my upgrades wisely and not just spend so I can get to the next level. I have never spent a single dollar on this game. Ever. And I never will. I have not downloaded the newest upgrade because last time this kind of thing came up it looked WILDLY complicated. The spinning, the dressing, who cares?? I just wanna run restaurants. I was so glad to see it go away last time. I have almost 2 million coins. I want the offers to but surprise gifts with coins!!

Great Game but Some Suggestions. I’ve been a long time player for several years. I enjoy the different restaurants and each meal they serve. Some are very difficult but it’s fun to see if you can get 5 stars or serve all customers or any other achievement from each level. I enjoy the different challenges the game gives you to help earn more coins or gold. The trial of style is always a fun challenge too. The major downside is you do need gold to purchase the restaurants or any upgrades and it can get pricey. I have managed to never spent a dime on this game but used to obtain gold through the daily challenges, completing tasks or the free offers like downloading a different game to earn gold. I never minded that. You can earn an unlimited amount of coins but they aren’t really used for anything. They help with purchases but you usually still need gold too. One suggestion is to add an option to use your coins to purchase gold or find new ways to spend down the coins. For example, the first level of upgrades can be done by coins only. At least it creates more options to use the coins. Also, the free gold offers used to have a lot of different actions without having to pay for something. Now that’s changed and in order to earn some good gold you have to make a purchase on another site. I understand you cannot create a game without making money but at least provide more options without having the consumer spend so much.

Nothing works. Yes it’s fun. But as everyone else has been stating, it is super expensive if you want to advance to level 4 of a restaurant. It is really not about your skill at all, because the developer made it so that the only way you can move on to certain level is by upgrading either equipment or ingredients which is costly. Say you think you will play as fast as you can and memorize the sequence of food order, still you realize that you can’t move up if you do not upgrade. Other problem, I used to just play ad to get free gold (about 8 a day). Now the videos are not even working. So no more free gold... ridiculous. Here’s the break down. You will need about 750 gold at least to get min 3 golds on all level for 1 restaurant. That is about $50 plus some free gold. Multiply that with the number of restaurant, wow, you can actually buy a used car... Note, the program of the game is actually almost similar with all the restaurants. You were just given different setting, and ingredients, etc, n you are playing similar game over n over again. Pssst... And they think we don’t know that... We do. I’m writing this to campaign: not to feed the greeds...

Love the game, but the cost is insane. The new addition of the trial of style is the biggest waste of time, money, gold, etc. you work for days to complete these levels, and the top three places get the premium (not even the top) wheel spin. Below that, you get ONE fast flow or something even less valuable. It only takes 4 hours (or less) to prep fast flow. Why would I want to work through like 20 levels to just get that? It’s not worth it, and you can’t use coins or gold to get tickets, but you have to use an insane amount to get through the trial of style. If I were the game makers, I would highly reconsider the reward for that much game play. This game itself is ridiculously addicting. What’s annoying is the amount of money it takes. I’m almost embarrassed at the amount of money I’ve spent over time. PlayStation games with far better graphics and intense game play still only cost $50-60. One could easily pay $100 or more to fully enjoy this game. It’s just a little asinine.

Long time player, not sure if I will continue. They recently took away the option to earn free gold by clicking ads, so you can only earn up to 3 gold per day now by completing the daily goals. This makes it almost impossible to play the game without spending money because the upgrades average about 15-30 gold for a tiny incremental upgrade. I’ve been playing this game since maybe 2015 and have spent probably more than two hundred dollars on this game to buy gold and supplement what I was getting by clicking on ads. I haven’t spent a single cent since they stopped offering that and I will not ever again because the upgrade prices just don’t make sense and are not sustainable. Additionally, this game hasn’t come out with any new restaurants or recipes or game mechanics in YEARS. They just keep restarting the trial of style every 2 days and the recipes take way too long to prep. It’s just not fun or exciting to play anymore. It’s pretty clear they’re either trying to kill the game or grab some quick cash from players and it feels like a slap in the face. I could buy a more fleshed out video game for $60, so I might just delete this one altogether.

Longtime Player, Payoff Not Worth. I’ve been playing this game consistently for about 5+ years. I enjoyed the fast pace of it and the sometimes complex orders and steps it took to complete a meal. It wasn’t until last week that I finally completed and achieved everything. Then, a few days later while playing a Trial of Style, the app crashed. I didn’t play again until the next day, only to find out that everything that I did and worked for was gone. Never has this happened to me before after an app crash. I tried logging out and logging in to see if I could recover anything, even going so far as restarting my iPad, but nothing was there. After everything I’ve done, I can’t see myself playing this game anymore, due to the fact that they haven’t updated or added anything new recently, and because of my situation. It’s just the same old same old after you’ve finished everything. Thanks for the fun times and memories.

Fix the glitches and it will be fun again. I love this game because there are so many options for play. It helps me with my anxiety, just to focus on something small for a few minutes. I have been playing it for years, and love all the Diner Dash games. This one since the last bug fix has been glitchy - you will pass a level but then the game doesn’t unlock the next level. So you’re just stuck. I thought maybe it was just a certain restaurant, but it’s been happening in multiple restaurants. I even just bought a new one with 25 gold and could only play the first two episodes - even though I passed the second one the third remains locked. Without these bugs I would have given it 5 stars. I think 4 is even generous at this point since I’m not sure how much longer I’ll even be able to play it. Hopefully it gets fixed soon!

Fun game but updates have cause crashes. I’ve been playing this game awhile now, and very recently have had issues with the game crashing while in the midst of a game. Customer service has attempted to assist but there solutions were to uninstall and reinstall and finally they removed the Trial style stating that the since they had new games going on that “could be” the problem, or my device, which is new they said it could be outdated. I’m disappointed that they just removed the trial style rather than leave it after all the time and games I’ve played and also made in-app purchases only to have it all lost! Thanks customer service for just throwing my gold down the drain.... players BEWARE!!!!! Expect to lose money with no real solution and or compensation. I don’t think they can even bring back the level reached which has all gone to WASTE! Thanks GLU! 🤬🤬🤬

I love this game…. But I wish they would add some more perks!. I have been playing this game for a few years and absolutely LOVE IT! It always holds my interest and keeps me wanting to come back and play more. I love the fact that they do different little events every couple of days, for example: it costing 0 supplies to play for 24 hours. One thing I do wish would be different is dropping more gold! I think every time a VIP member comes in, they should drop one gold. Sometimes you wait hours, maybe even DAYS, to prep a VIP member but they rarely leave gold. I also think every time you complete a level with 5 stars you should earn one gold. That’s the only frustrating part for me that sometimes leaves me not playing for a long while since I get upset over not being able to ever get any gold to upgrade stuff and pass my levels so I get stuck. One other nice benefit would be to lower the supply cost on a level you’ve already passed? Maybe only 5 instead of 10? In conclusion, I love this game but stop playing sometimes when it take forever to get gold.

They never answer. I’ve been playing this game since Diner Dash. I love playing the games. However, you write them and the don’t answer. And if they do answer it’s usually some whack response. I have purchased gold, tickets, lives and venues using real money. I never asked for anything accept to fix my issues that I write you about. Another downside to this game is the take to long to put new venues out. I have played and mastered every venue. I have been waiting for months for them to unlock the Thai arcade venue. Please don’t get me started on those bug fixes that crashes my game. I ‘be been stuck on fame tier 99 since 2018. I wrote them they wrote back not addressing my issue. But some cockey mammy response. I say all of this to say if you’re just starting out. Find another time management game. They move too slow and cost a lot of money. You will get bored once you’re at my level. Just waiting for them to unlock a venue. If the game has come to an end they should say so. Very disappointed with the Glu team. Homescapes is a very good game try it.

Fun but ridiculous!. So let's start by saying I absolutely loved this game I came acrossed it from an add on another game and downloaded it immediately as it intrigued me right away! It started off very well and made sense now as I'm trying to get past the first level I thought I was terrible at it and had to spend real life money just to get by. I came over to read the reviews to find its not me who is the problem it's the design of the game that sets you up to fail. I think if you're going to make a game it should make sense! For example why am I able to earn the stars & coins necessary to get ahead no problem in the beginner levels but as it gets harder my reward is less? That makes no sense don't you think? Also, for as many VIP tickets you need to get passed tale steaks for your game to not help with rewarding those thru out the game is pretty ridiculous if you ask me. Hopefully after all the reviews that have been shared someone makes a change. I definitely won't be playing anymore since I now know it won't get me anywhere.

Love this game but.... I’ve been playing this game on my iPad for years and love it... but... a recurrent issue that I’ve been having is when attempting to watch videos for daily gold. I will watch a video for gold, and it will work... but then the next ad will freeze (which freezes the app) without playing. I will have to close the app, open it again, and try again for gold. Unfortunately, since the ad attempted to play (but failed), that opportunity for gold is lost... and since there are only 8 ads available for gold per day, I often am unable to claim all 8 free gold. This issue makes it very frustrating when attempting to play the game, because it takes longer to upgrade supplies/items for each “show”, which makes it difficult to progress in the game. My iPad is set to auto-update so it always is running at the most current iOS, so that isn’t the issue. Please fix!!!

Pay to Win in every sense of the phrase. There are levels that you simply cannot pass without being able to buy upgrades or boosters, which require either only gold bars or a combination of gold and coins. Problem is the game is very frugal with giving you gold bars. If you get five stars on a level you get a random prize at the end- sometimes it’s gold but usually it’s something useless like an item of clothing that you actually have to collect 70 of to be able to use. There is the prize wheel but i’ve played this game for months and literally have never landed on the 3 gold bars, more likely one of the stupid character prizes that again you have to collect like 100 to actually get. The VIP part at the end of a restaurant, never beat any of those because I don’t have the gold to get all the upgrades for that restaurant and I don’t have boosters. It’s really sad because the PSP game was so fun and I’m just looking for that kind of experience again but the only way you can play Diner Dash these days is through phone apps like this that want you to pay real money for gold bars that you need to actually advance in the game. I have 70,000 coins and 1 gold bar right now but every upgrade for all my restaurants require at least 7 gold bars to upgrade. They don’t even have like watch an ad and get a gold bar instead it’s these crazy virus infested tasks of click this link to open this browser and then click a link there and we’ll give you 1 gold.

Glitches Give You Stitches. I was loving this game, becoming obsessed with it every time I started playing. Growing up with Diner Dash, this game was really exciting to have. Yet recently, the game glitches quite a few times. In order to play a round, you have to give in 10 grocery bags, like using a coin to play a game in an arcade. You have to be patient if you want more without having to pay for them. So I wait patiently all the time. But quite a few times, I used my grocery bags and I pressed play, and the game took me back to the main menu, where all the restaurants are. It made me upset, because it wouldn’t let me play, but it took the groceries I used to play as well... I keep playing, even though it happened 4 or five times more. But I became angry when I waited 6 hours for one of the power boosters that I prepared in the prep kitchen, and then used it to play and it did the same thing. I waited six entire hours. It’s probably just a glitch, but sometimes it feels as though that may be an intentional thing to get people to spend more money on a free app. I don’t like buying in-app purchases because if I ever lose my account, then what? And I was going to play with a booster just before writing this, and it did it again. This makes me furious, so I wouldn’t recommend this game until this problem gets fixed.

Good bars are a must yet hard to come by. I have been playing this game for a few months now and I've fallen in love with it, however the Gold wall where u go to get free food by completing different task doesn't always work and sometimes I'll break my neck to do a task waiting for hours to get my reward and a lot of time i don't. Also now the Gold wall to get coins isn't working it's been an issue all day. This game was once fun but it be better if the gold bars were a bit easier to come by especially when it comes to upgrades. I can already tell with this game that eventually I'll stop playing all together and delete the app you guys seem to take the fun out of it I don't want to spend real money on a game when the coins go so quickly please make it a bit easier or I'll just delete and free up some space on my phone. Update: what ever happend to the extra finale and “buying flo clothes” that you guys added on and took away? Why does the app take so long downloading restaurants I can’t even play the game because I have to wait for them to download I’m beginning to get tired of this game where I see myself deleting the app completely

No reward for watching videos. Another update: The problems I stated below still haven't been fixed and yet there's a bug for the daily goals. Today, I completed all 3 daily goals and was supposed to get the wheel spin prize. However, at the daily goals page, it says I only completed 1 out of 3 goals when obviously I completed 3. Developers really need to read all these reviews and fix these problems or else people might stop playing your game. Update: I started a game at Medieval Dines: Bavaria Fest, but just seconds after I started the game, it forced me out of that level and the supplies and VIP I used were lost. The game itself didn't crash, but there's just this small glitch that forces back out of the level I'm playing, I don't know if it's only this certain level or the game itself. Please fix this error. It used to be guaranteed a gold or amount of time to prep recipes reduced. But now every time I watch a video to earn gold or to reduce the time to prep recipes, I never receive the gold or the amount of time to prepare recipes stays the same. Developers need to recognize this bug in the game and fix it. Players wouldn't want to waste time watching videos just to get nothing back in return. They also need to realize that gold is very hard to get, everything costs a lot of gold as you unlock more restaurants, but gold being rewarded is not enough for even 1 upgrade. This needs to be fixed in order for players to enjoy the game.

Got a few issues but otherwise is fun. Gameplay is smooth and this is a good and fun game overall, if a little pay to win. It’s kind of annoying to have to sink so much gold to max a venue, considering how many venues there are. I’ll make a list of select issues that aren’t too important but I feel the need to mention, in hopes they’ll be fixed or retooled. 1. Morsel Magnet has a delay, which makes it difficult to use. Maybe make Flo not able to move while she’s getting things, or have the animation of getting it but she already has it so she can use it instantly. Otherwise things go really bad. 2. Premonition is really ugly and clunky. They look like orders when they’re not and they confuse me, plus they get in the way of swipe collecting tips. Also the numbers are all over the place. Maybe move the bubbles to the left more so they don’t block tips and don’t look like current orders, and allow sauces and toppings to be added to dishes if they are premonitioned. 3. Give better uses for coins. An exponentially priced Deal Wheel isn’t good enough. Maybe bring back the surprise box? Heck, I’d even accept charging coins for VIP dishes but making gold have a higher chance to drop from them. 4. Maybe an undo button? Not to reverse something being cooked because you can’t do that realistically, but to uncheck something you accidentally clicked on. These are a few issues I had with the game. Otherwise the game is good.

My happiness in this game is going away. Normally I would have given this game four or five stars. I like the challenges of some of the different venues. But for over 3 weeks I have not had any videos available to watch for free gold. And the majority of these days one of the daily goals was to watch videos. I have been patient while Customer Service has been working on this issue. One of their last comments was to take a picture of the screen when I have this as a daily goal and they will credit me the gold. Also, I can complete offers to earn gold. Completing offers does not get me the daily goal and the whole point is to have a free game, not have to sign up or buy something. I don’t mind watching ads to have a free game. I have dutifully been submitting screenshots, but they credit me one or two gold, not the four or five I would earn. Really hard to get ahead when the game itself is holding you back.

Found a (semi) patch for the bug.. Hello everyone. I’ve been experiencing this extremely annoying bug since the December 2020 update as well. After doing further research, I found a fix: DO NOT watch your eight free gold videos until after you finish your daily tasks or any other levels you want credit for. Personally, my videos refresh at 4pm PST everyday. I make sure to have my tasks finished and keep playing as much as I want. All the levels work great! Around 3pm, I watch my videos and receive eight free gold, then the glitch starts again until my videos refresh at 4pm again. Hope this helps! This method is working for me so far and I’m so happy to play this game and advance again. I’d give a five star if the bug was fixed, however I have waisted recipes, VIP tickets, and even saucers before I discovered the patch. P.S. - I do NOT know if this method will grant you credit in Trial of Styles levels, as I haven’t been playing those lately, but all my regular restaurant levels seem to be working great as long as I put off watching my free gold videos.

By a true gamer. I honestly love this game. I have been playing for over five years now and they do have glitches but sometimes they work them out haha and they still working progress and that means they love the energy and the time and work that they put into it to . I my self have put thousands in these games I’ve played that’s how much I love the game but I found a way not to spend so much anymore lol just being patient with thier glitches and I know it gets frustrating trust me, I play for hrs and lose sleep over this game and I’m constantly talking to them about the issues. Because just like my son we stuck inside all the time because of this virus and this playing games online is what we do to past time and get things off our minds so we don’t go crazy lol. Well I think most of you gamers understand so if we stay on their butts about issues maybe they will keep working out the glitches and make us even happier. But I do thank them and I will for sure keep playing because yes also it’s An addicting game as many more other games lol so that’s all I have to say for now thank you for your time and keep pushing for them to fix the glitches say hell to the yay yay lol good luck friends and be safe

Not what it used to be. I love this game. Absolutely love this game. I didn't mind spending the money to play this game until spending money on this game is the only option you have to get gold or further your game play. (Breathe). On a daily basis you used to be able to collect gold by watching these (expletive) videos. I'd even supplement my habit by throwing money into the game for more gold (again, it's a great game). Now, if you're lucky when you watch a video you have a 50/50 chance of getting what they promised you'd received. I don't know who to compare this relationship to a bad boss, a deadbeat dad (only read about them, mine is great) or a loser bf. Either way it's disappointing, sad and not what it used to be in the beginning. Yea, these developers are the loser bf. Imagine if we all packed our bags and left. Yes, we'd sadly miss the abusive relationship but we'd have a tad bit more money in our pockets and our self esteem in tact (lollll. We would no longer be subject to your lies. Wait, I have to spend 300 gold to open up the last celeb spot in Jamaican Me Hungry? My upgrades are all at 100 and that's the only thing preventing me from getting a perfect score. Kiss my (expletive).

We need more gold, not more gimmicks!. I have been playing this game off and on for quite some time and overall this is a very good game. The problem with it is the fact that you need gold for absolutely everything! You can't even buy the most basic of upgrades without needing gold once you get past the first restaurant. In most other time management games I play the basic and absolutely essential upgrades can be bought with standard currency and the high end upgrades that makes things easier for you cost premium currency. So, now we can customize Flo's appearance with wardrobe items that are very hard to earn without spending more money? For the most part that just sounds like another gimmick to me. Give those of us on a budget what we really need.... more opportunities to earn free gold, so we can actually get somewhere and open more than just the first few restaurants!

Used to be Better. I have been playing this game for over 4 years! I remember waiting for each individual stage to come out and the right side of VIP Valhalla didn’t even exist, this was way back before the map expanded to what it is today. This game has always been difficult to advance in. You have to watch a lot of ads to earn gold. I’ve cleared 17 restaurants (half of them with max stars) and can honestly say it is practically impossible to do so without spending gold for restaurant upgrades. You can earn up to 11 gold per day watching ads but some stages require hundreds of gold to upgrade its equipment! For instance, Cutie Cakes needs at least 1000 gold (or $50) for full upgrades. Multiply that by 39 restaurants and this quickly becomes the most expensive app you’ll own. I don’t mind spending money on games, I work for a gaming company so I understand and I want to support this game’s developers. I love the art and mechanics of this game. However, the monetization in Cooking Dash is really bad. The upgrades are way too expensive. It drives people away rather than entices them to spend money. Also, it seems like this company has started to put its efforts into their new game Diner Dash Adventures and are no longer developing new restaurants for Cooking Dash. Now, Cooking Dash has tons of bugs. The game crashes sometimes and is unplayable. Reaching out to support doesn’t help. This is so disappointing considering all of the time and money I’ve put into this game.

Love This Game!! Super Fun!!. I am a fan of Diner Dash games. I’ve been playing since the very first version of Diner Dash. The latest Cooking Dash installment is the best of all their versions of Flo and her Diner Dash series. Honorable Mentions - the original Cooking Dash, Diner Dash: Flo on the Go AND Cooking Dash: Diner Town Studios. These are must-trys. Back to the review. Yes, you will be need to use your own money to get the game started. TIPS: 1) Buy 300 gold in the bundle and get started. Start with small upgrades that are absolutely necessary. In the Prep Kitchen, get the Auto Chef, Time Bonuses, and Fast Flow (or any combo of the other prep kitchen chefs) and play! Keep all the chefs in rotation especially the Auto Chef and it will help you advance. Find more tips online in how to beat each level effectively! Good luck! 2) If you come across a glitch or other issues while playing, click on the round orange button on the bottom right then Customer Care (green button in the middle). You can look and find answers through their Q&A board or click on Contact Us on the very upper right corner and send them your questions/issues. I have taken a brief break from the game, but now back to speed with “I’m Really Inuit,” “Jungle Joint,” and “Pad Thai Pinball.” Cooking Dash is a super fun game (challenging at times) and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Too Slow. I thought it was slow to progress through the restaurants back when they had video ads. With that option now gone, it takes so unbelievably long to buy upgrades. We’re talking 3 gold per day, max (unless you get lucky with a VIP or 5-star score). Then having those challenges that say “serve this item 35 times for 2 gold” is actually disrespectful when you think of how much real time that takes, and how far those 2 bars will go. They clearly want you to purchase the gold. We all gotta make a living, but come on with the strong-arm. Maybe it’s working and other players are gritting their teeth, purchasing gold over and over. I won’t be participating. Feels like a money-grab at the sacrifice of UX, and I think there were better ways to bring it in, like having the option to pay a small fee per week to get a boost in daily gold earnings, but still leaving the video ad option there. Or, I don’t know, some other way? Was this the best you guys could come up with? It’s not even creative. Boo.

Long time cooking dash fan. I am a long time fan of Flo and her games. I played the original diner dash and cooking dash iPhone games and beat them completely. That helps me understand why they have added so much to the game (keeps it fresh, theoretically). But it is very overwhelming as a new user. This stuff should be gated and introduced slowly as you unlock more levels. Also, after beating all of the intro restaurant, I have not earned enough to open a new one. I guess I should not have been upgrading my appliances and such. I agree with another reviewer who said it is very hard to play this game without spending money, and that is a major disappointment for me. I am the queen of playing games like this without ever spending real money. I usually just grind along and have slower progress. But that is just not possible in this game. I would gladly buy a version of this game that did not offer in-app purchases or all the dang ads (and yes- they were not very present at first and now it is after every dang level). But oh well. That is not offered. I was happy to see Flo again, but she’s about to get deleted.

Love/Hate. I love this game. The game play is so fun, the characters are entertaining, there's A LOT you can unlock and do, it's mostly an awesome game! However, it really is very difficult to get anywhere without spending real world money. At first, it seems easy to gain gold bars, complete levels, unlock necessary and helpful upgrades, etc. But the more you play, the less you see. For instance, I completed the first restaurant (Table Steaks - all three seasons) with ease and managed to get 5 stars on every level with little help. I have since purchased Taco Train and find it impossible to get 5 stars on the majority of levels without VIPs, which cost gold as do upgrades to the restaurant, plus coins and only gaining a couple stars per level, I'm not getting many coins either. So no matter what I do, even using gold to buy things to help, I'm getting nowhere. I purchased the vegan restaurant next, even WITH upgrade, VIPs, serving all customers quick and efficiently I'm only able to get 2-3 stars per episode. Why is that? I feel like the work I'm putting into each level is monumental compared to the rewards. I'd spend real money on this game if I felt like it would actually help but to be honest, I don't think it will. And lastly, I've only been playing this game for about a week, maybe not even that long, at first I didn't notice many ads. Now all of a sudden there are video ads that pop up frequently and oftentimes crash the game.

Money Grabbing. This is a very fun game to play. The animation is wonderful. It’s fast pace and for those who need to relax, this is something to center your attention on. The levels increase as you go which is fun. The more you reach your level, the more you get. You do get surprise guest ( customers) who will increase your coin level to reach the next level. DOWNFALL: If you do not want to go broke, I would not recommend this game. This game is money hungry. I am aware that they have to make money but will all the advertisements which pop up, they should be fine. What both me is the fact that there is no real win to this game. You can’t buy the next level until you complete the challenge. Surprise! When you beat the level you have a challenge. Another surprise!! You can’t beat the challenge unless you purchase more gold and coins. If you beat the first challenge and lose the 2nd challenge, you go back to the 1st challenge. No one should be forced to do the challenge if you do not want too. I liked the old game years back. You could play at a good level without all the new challenges and without almost giving them a days salary to pay a game. Beside, what do you get at the end, nothing but another ad and a pop up to buy more coins. Hope this helps people who struggle in life and do not want to put their gas money into a game. Lovely game but to expensive

Normally, a 5 star. Normally, I'd give this game a 5 star rating. However, since buying the country fried cottage venue, it's been issues. I cannot play that venue, so I lost out on the limited days to complete for prizes trophies. Then Valhalla's venue began to crash the entire game every time I attempted to play that venue. Multiple days in a row I missed out on the daily goals because they required you to serve so many customers in that venue. Now, I've lost at least two more venues if not three. I've gone from a daily player to just barely getting on. Very disappointed in the results of their updates. To add to these previous issues, that did finally get resolved the game keeps logging me out of Facebook and I have to take pictures of everything I have send them to them to get logged back in, with progress. However, I lose whatever I made between the pictures and them fixing things, or can’t play for days to a week. Then I lose anything I earned while waiting for them to fix my account where it can link back to Facebook. Yet I have continued to play.

addicting, but…. i used to love this game so much. i spent hours on it in quarantine in between my online classes. i had remembered about it because i had played it before when i was even younger. i downloaded it again recently and even after serving all customers in time without making any of them storm out, i can’t seem to get enough stars. this is because i am not earning enough coins. all my restaurants have been upgraded a good amount and that’s what makes your customers pay more. however, i believe it is due to the fact i need lots of gold (which if you have read the other reviews, is now very hard to earn) to upgrade my restaurant and make more money. this means that i can no longer make my way through the levels with all 5 stars anymore like i used to. this is very disappointing. i would like for there to be an easier way to get gold such as using coins to purchase a small amount. i would also like an option to change your name on the trial of fame, please. thank you for taking the time to read my review. this game is still very addicting lol. edit: i forgot to mention this but what happened to the rewards for watching ads? that is no longer available for me. did they take that out? i remember being able to earn gold through that method.

Can’t Progress Without Spending Money. I really loved this game at first! If you spend on upgrades wisely, (not needed after every single level, only when you can’t complete a level with 3 stars) then the game is fairly easy but still challenging enough. I was able to complete all the levels in the first restaurant with full stars (can’t remember if it’s 3 or 5) but then before you can open a new restaurant, you have to do a series of 5 special levels. You spend VIP tickets to enter these levels. I failed on the 3rd round and it made me start over back to round 1. But the kicker is... I didn’t have enough VIP tickets to play again. So I went to the store to see if I could watch an add, trade my coins, or do anything to earn more tickets but the ONLY way to get them is to spend money. The least amount was $1.99 which isn’t bad, but I wondered how many other times this would happen where the only way to progress is to spend money. It starts to add up. So I decided to quit while I was ahead and deleted the game! Such a shame! Purchases should be optional for players who want to get ahead faster, not required for anyone who wants to play at all!

False advertising. As others have said, the game itself is fun. In order to get to new levels you need lots of gold. You need it to upgrade your restaurant. You can purchase gold with real money or there are, “Free” offers. These are managed by an unethical company, TapJoy. Free offers are usually very time consuming. If you want your reward you need to screenshot everything, even with doing that they will not always give you your rewards. There are several misleading and fraudulent advertisements on the site. It will say, enter an e-mail and answer a short survey. That short survey is never ending and takes you to a million more questions, prompting you to give them all your information and trying to sell you a multitude of items. One offer was to download a game and get to a certain level. It took me a month as the game was awful, then I never got my reward. Then I downloaded Tinder for a free two day trial. Tinder required my credit card information. Fine. I was charged three times, by three different companies the first night (so no free trial).This caused my credit card company to put a fraud alert on my credit card. Tinder never gave me an account. Even with a screenshot of the charges, TapJoy would not give me my gold. They say to contact Tinder , who has yet to respond after a week. TapJoy doesn’t always respond either. GLU says, contact TapJoy. Seriously, considering deleting the game, depending on if I can ever get my issue resolved.

Individual Restaurants take forever to download. I really love this game and would really love to give it 5 stars because I play this for hours on end almost everyday but I have come across one issue. Every time I join all the restaurants say “downloading” even ones I have not purchased yet. To download the content of trial of style the game has to download the content of each restaurant in the game, which there are a lot of. Not to mention the download speed is very long. There is also no background downloading so you have to be on the main map screen for the restaurants to even beginning downloading, you can’t play levels while waiting for it to download. This whole process takes 30+ minutes in my experience and makes it unenjoyable to play since I can almost never play trial of style unless I want to wait 30 minutes. I would also agree with those that say this game is money hungry. Gold is very hard to receive in this game and you should have more ways in getting gold instead of paying or watching videos.

Great Game, but currently broken. I love this game! It’s super fun and challenging at times. I do wish there were more ways to get free gold, because I refuse to spend money on a game on my phone. I do understand that the game makers should be paid for their hard work though! My current issues I’m having are quite frustrating to me. I missed collecting the trial of style awards for a period of time, and now it is locked saying that I need to collect them, but won’t let me or play any new trials. So the trial of style is not working for me at all now. The other issue is the menu is broken for me. It won’t pull up the menu fully, so I can’t actually use it, and it will get stuck with me looking at a broken menu. After touching around the screen with the broken menu up, I have found where the close button should be, so now I can actually play the game. I still cannot see the menu or look at any notifications, wheels, etc… I would love for both of these issues to be fixed, so I can go back to fully enjoying the game!

Shame on Glu. 2 stars because you can play about a week before you would wind up spending more and more money to progress. I’ve been playing for about 2 weeks, and I loved it, but I’m about to quit. The first level is easy to get through and basically free, but as you progress with each level, you need more and more gold. The offers to earn free gold will never be enough to allow progress at any reasonable level without spending money…and lots of it. I’ve forked over some cash—developers have to eat, companies need revenue—because it’s a fun game, but I’m curious how many people have gotten sucked into this game and had money sucked out of them because it’s so easy to purchase something with your thumb. I’m about done with this game. I’d pay a small amount for each restaurant, but if you monetize the amount of gold required to complete a restaurant based on the “purchase” to open it and upgrades, you’re looking at $2.99 per game and it will take you a several days earning free gold to get past the first season of restaurants after the 2nd one. Glu must be making money, but they may make more by considering reasonable price points that would encourage players to continue.

Great game!. I love this game, I’ve been playing for many years and love how it’s progressed over time. I especially love the trial of style events, it helps add new challenges and opportunities to compete and get prizes. I always look forward to the trials of style! My only slight complaint, a wish more realistically, is for more opportunities to get gold. I’ve come to a place that I can’t move forward until I get more gold to buy upgrades. So I don’t really play as much as I would want to because I can’t go farther. In the past you could watch videos but that’s stopped and I’m not sure why, it’s still an option you can click but it always says “no videos available”. Other than that, this is one of my favorite games because of the variety not only in restaurants but also in outfits and even companion choice. It’s definitely challenging but has a lot of options for support and it’s really fun!

Painful. This game is a lot of fun. Don’t get it. Seriously, I love playing, but the game’s main function requires groceries to play, and they are expensive to buy. What ends up happening is you have fun for 20 minutes, spend another 10 waiting for a few groceries, and then move on to something else because it’s not worth waiting any longer. There are probably over a thousand levels spread between the different restaurants, and it would take a year to complete them all with this problem, even if you played all day, every day. From what I understand, there’s no way to speed up how quickly the groceries come, or raise the maximum that you can have from waiting (50 may seem like a lot but that’s only 5 games). You can only pay gold to get some more, and it’s a lot to pay all the time. They should have a function that lets you use real money to permanent have infinite groceries, kind of like games that spam you with ads but you can pay to remove them. I think it would be worth the developers’ time and money.

Broken without free gold. Was enjoying this game. It is very grindy for those who enjoy that kind of thing unless you spend money on gold. Gold is hard to come by in the game but a lot is need for up grading equipment and food. Up until recently you could get about 11 gold a day doing the 3 daily challenges and watching 8 ads for free gold. For completing the 3 daily challenges you would also get a free spin on “the deal wheel” which offers various prize including more gold. Recently the ads have stopped resetting everyday so I cannot get the 8 free gold the ads provide. Also one of the daily challenges is typically to watch ads for gold so this challenge cannot be completed. So now I’m left with only 2 gold a day and no free spin on deal wheel. Typically items are relatively inexpensive to upgrade early on. However to upgrade to higher levels even spending 10 gold to do so get expensive when you only get 2 gold a day. When I got 11 gold a day it took a long time to save up enough to get items upgraded so you could advance the game. Now it take way to long. I have contacted customer care and they have told me have no control over if ads are available to me. The ads are controlled by a third party. But ads still pop up between games which is normal but ads won’t reset for free gold. And one daily challenge is usually to watch ads so can’t complete that for free spin. It would not surprise me if this issue was unique to me but the game is not playable in this condition.

finally have to say i’m done with this game.... after playing on and off for about 3 years now, i’m deciding to put it down. plainly, it’s too money hungry. no matter how strategic your moves are, the game is formulated so that it’s impossible to get even 3 stars on some levels, much less the most desirable 5 stars. the only way to get them is by using gold to upgrade appliances and food worth etc. it has NOTHING to do with how good you are at playing after a while! it’s just a mind game! in-app purchases are constantly shoved in the players face, with crazy unrealistic expectations to obtain the stupid clothing/pet/auto chef wheel deal prizes. they continue to add restaurant after restaurant hoping to peak your interest to cash out another 25 gold just to unlock it, for you to inevitably find out that you’re beginning down a brand new cycle of having 0 upgrades. as a player, accept that you will NEVER complete every set of stars/golden saucers/outfit or whatever other set of accomplishments they put in front of you. ugh! i like fun mobile games and choosing to support companies through in-app purchases, but this not fun anymore!

So annoying. I would easily buy a full version of this game if it meant no premium currency or limited energy. It would be so fun if it didnt require so much gold after getting to just the second restaurant which takes watching a finite amount of ads, or if it didnt take hours just to use one temporary upgrade. Wouldn’t more ads mean more business and money for them? Also the clothes and extras are basically useless because it takes 100 of the individual points for each item which you can only get by spinning the wheel which leaves little chances of actually completing sets. It feels like the game is mocking you every time you spin the wheel bc it gives you 1 token out of 150 to get rhe automated chef. The biggest prize in trial of style is getting a singular spin on the premium wheel which gives you like 5 more tokens lol. The psychology in this game isn’t effective it’s just frustrating. Doesn’t make me want to keep playing if that’s what they’re going for 🙄 would gladly keep playing if they gave us more resources and faster too.

Lost progress - bad customer services. I’ve been playing this game for a few years and I love it, but I’m about to delete it because of recent bugs and loss of progress with no help from customer service. I don’t mind spending some real money on it because it’s the only game I play. About a year ago, there must have been a bug in the game and I lost my progress, but customer service was amazing and helped me get it back to almost exactly where I was . HOWEVER, I just lost a significant amount of my progress from about a month of playing, including the new restaurant that I already bought and finished two seasons. I used lots of gold and valuable prep recipes to get that progress. Customer service eventually claimed they couldn’t detect any loss of progress, so could not compensate me. After all the time and money I spent on this game I find that unacceptable. I know they can see it from their end because it happened before! I’m still waiting for another response but I’m very disappointed.

Expensive and time consuming. This game is fun to play but they've designed it to make it VERY difficult to earn gold...... which you have to have to buy upgrades to win the levels. The upgrades are super expensive compared to the gold you can earn without using your real, hard earned money to buy more. The prep kitchen recipes you need to really win levels take hours and days to prep (no joke people.... 20 hours, 14 hours, 2 days, etc.). You can earn “free gold” by watching 30 second videos or completing other tasks tasks. BE WARNED....... this process can be glitchy and even though you did your part, you won’t get your gold. Don’t bother contacting customer service, “It’s beyond their control”. Free gold is handled by a third party and they “have no control over it”. They are super great about telling you how it’s all your fault though ( your device doesn’t have enough memory, your bandwidth isn’t good enough, etc), AND, they will NEVER offer to give you anything free in return for all your trouble. They are even good enough to tell you that you can uninstall your game and reinstall it to solve any glitching and everything will be great b/c they have a backup of your game saved..... BE WARNED!!!!! THEY DON’T!!!! Customer care is a joke!!! My 4 year old is more helpful. You will lose everything for good. Very hard lesson learned here. A LOT of time and energy wasted. DON't WASTE YOUR TIME PEOPLE! I will be deleting this game as soon as I hit send!

No more gold. This is my favorite game. I’ve been playing it for years. I’ve even spent money on it from time to time. However, I relied mostly on free gold from watching ads and also from doing other offers. For the last month or so, there have been no ads to watch. During that time, most days your “daily goals” required you to watch 3 ads for free gold. Which means not only are you missing out on that but you’re missing out on the gold you get from completing the goal AND since you’re unable to complete all 3 daily goals, you miss out on a free spin on the wheel. This was incredibly frustrating. I contacted customer service about this, they agreed to give me a gold if I can screenshot it being part of my daily goals. After that though, I didn’t see it in my daily goals. They did recommend doing other offers to get more free gold. So that’s what I had been doing. Well now there is NO option to earn free gold whatsoever. This game requires a lot of gold to level up and complete levels and I will not be spending my own money everytime I need gold. I will be deleting the app unless the gold situation gets fixed. 👋🏻

Terrible customer service. I purchased a bundle off the game but the content did not show up on my account. Have now been chasing them up for TWO WEEKS trying to get my purchases uploaded on my game and their customer service keeps going round and round in circles and I still don’t have the bundle I spent $15 on! Really disappointing and a big waste of my time.

Can’t make cheese nachos. Was loving playing this game up until episode one, season 3 of Taco Train when it wouldn’t let make the cheese nachos. I can do the tutorial at the start of the level fine but then it won’t let me do it on my own. Now I can’t continue. Disappointing.

Money hungry. Just another game trying to force you to pay money to keep playing. Impossible to play past the first sequence unless you purchase VIP tickets. Such a shame as it’s a fun game but I can’t afford another endless pit for my money to disappear into.

Great game with continuous improvement, but please test throughly before launching the upgrades. Used to love this game all these time, after the latest app upgrade has been very frustrated, out of the replenished 50 supplies in the game, I can probably can only play one game, the game will take the supplies and crashed (sometimes along with the special recipes which takes days to prep) ... the Xmas game and Enzo Sushi most impacted, pls fix the bugs and make this a lovable game again. Thank you.

Disgusted with the Adult Advertisements. I loved playing the good ol cooking dash but am disgusted with the advertisements that get put on here. I’ve deleted the game off my daughters IPad. You say it’s a game for ages 4+ but do you see the advertisement content especially for playing gambling and slot machines at 18+ the adult dialogue? Latest one had naked people depicted under lust and desire for adults. These are advertisements that pop up. It’s highly irresponsible and I’ve had enough.

Game is great but almost impossible to progress without spending. Great game but it is almost impossible to progress before spending money to upgrade. No matter how efficient you are in the game it’s not possible to finish. I spent 200 episodes only to find I can’t progress to the next stage

Needs improvement. As much as I adore games like this, it takes almost an entire season to save up gold coins and gold bars to upgrade one or two items (kitchen, customer area etc) if you are lucky... I spent about $17 before I even realised that this game is almost conning/forcing you to purchase items to improve speed/ flo's service. Can someone please ensure the game is less rigged as this would be even more enjoyable if there wasn’t a crazy wait period for your grocery bags to refill and also the gold bars is ridiculous !!

What’s with the change to premonition?. I like the idea of giving the sequence of orders, but the positioning of the thought bubble needs to move so the player can collect coins. The change to the new look has made this VIP a pain to use

A lot better but still too expensive. I love this game, update has fixed the glitches (mostly) but it's just too expensive to buy gold. Trial of Style is great I love it! I basically just bide my time waiting for it to start as too expensive to open any new restaurants plus upgrade them.

Gone down hill. Okay this game has come along way. There been ups and downs. I’ve ignored that my progress in buying the ingredients in the sushi game has gone. I have nothing apparently but I completed all the levels. And recently, I have not been able to connect my progress to Facebook and save it. What is going on Cooking Dash? Please fix your bugs and compensate others who have had issues like mine. You know it isn’t easy to get gold. I don’t want my progress gone. I enjoy the game but may not continue if things like this keep happening

No ads. I think this will be the only time I complain about no ads! The game give you the chance to earn certain rewards but not once has there been an ad that play’s! Frustrating. I’ll play a little longer but it’s making it difficult so will most likely quit soon. I’d rather play games that do as they are saying

Reviews are spot on. The game itself is as good as the old diner/cooking dash, but there’s physically no way to advance levels without gold. Despite how great your diner/cooking dash skills have been thus far, it’s set up so that you don’t get enough coins from the dishes unless you upgrade. Or Flow is so super slow that you can’t reach the meals quickly enough before they burn. It’s blatantly designed to get you to spend hundreds of dollars. It’s not even the fact that it’s a blatant money grab. But the exorbitant amount of money you’d need to spend. It’s not sustainable and a true disappointment. Please don’t waste your time or funds.

Cooking dash. Addictive and fun game, but would like to see bigger rewards, constantly buying coins etc to advance through levels.

Good game but too money grabbing. I’ve been a fan of Diner/Cooking Dash for years and this is a great game. However, the Ads (every second level) make it nearly unplayable. On top of this, the creators have made it that you NEED “gold” in order to upgrade appliances (and you need to do this to finish some levels in the game). However, the amount of gold given is nowhere near enough. Basically they want you to buy the gold. Either make users pay money or cover them in Ads, doing both is far too greedy. I’m very disappointed.

Frustrating Gold Rewards Scheme Ruined an Otherwise Good Game. The game had so much potential and was fun, but I couldn't overlook the terrible gold rewards scheme. Although the game itself was enjoyable, the issues I faced with receiving promised rewards are quite upsetting. Firstly, I encountered multiple instances where I wasn't able to receive the rewards I was promised. While one of these problems was eventually resolved, the others remain unresolved. One particular incident stands out, where the game indicated that I was rewarded, but I NEVER received the promised gold. Despite reaching out to both Tapjoy and the game's support, they failed to provide any assistance. They kept repeating that they couldn't do anything since the reward was marked as "rewarded," completely disregarding the fact that I never actually received it. It was frustrating to see them dismiss my concerns without listening. As if that wasn't enough, the game's health insurance comparison task, which promised 5 free golds (which I also didn't receive), has become a nightmare. I'm now being bombarded with relentless phone calls from different numbers, saying they’re from the said health insurance comparison. It's an invasion of my privacy and really frustrating. I hope the developers address these issues promptly, as they are currently tarnishing an otherwise good game.

Not as good as it used to be.. I’m a Diner Dash/Cooking Dash player from years ago. The concept of the time management game is a good one, but the in app purchasing is killing the best games. There’s a brand of time management games that I love; first 10 levels free, then one price to unlock the whole game...I love that concept so much better. I prefer something I can play for as long as I like, without having to worry about refilling lives, or not having enough money to progress. Sad to see so many games going down the path of constant in app purchases.

Money hungry game!. It’s a great game, but gets very expensive as you progress. They used to give you free gold for watching ads but they have recently removed that functionality. I relied on the free golds to progress slowly in the game or you would have to buy gold and that gets expensive. Customer service said we can get free golds by signing up for services or completing surveys? I didn’t play the game to complete surveys or sign up for services, I can do that without the game!!! It seems like they’re just out to make money. I have since deleted my game.

Great game but needs work. I really like this game. I’ve only had it for about a month and have been playing it a lot. I completed the series for the first restaurant and I’m up to the part where you have to have ten stars to pass, five times. I can’t pass level four and I’ve been trying for three months and I’ve had enough. There should be an option to skip a level. I also unlocked the taco restaurant but every time I open the app to play a level it shuts down and wastes ten groceries bags.

Lost my account. I absolutely love cooking dash, I have been playing it for ever and invested real money in the game! I had an issue today and reinstalled the game (stupid I know and found out the hard way) now i can’t log back into my account (I have pretty much completed every single venue) and it’s trying to make me start again. I have been constantly reaching out to customer care and they are not responding at all. Please help! This is my life I play constantly everyday!

Seriously what is with these ugly food upgrades. Why is it that almost all food upgrades are so hideous.. The more I upgrade it the worse it looks. WHY IS EVERYTHING GREEN IN TACO TRAIN!! It's so off-putting Also can’t stand how complex everything is now... makes me lose interest. I literally only ever want to play the steak one and the taco one

Great game but...... The game is really fun and the graphics are great, however the upgrades for the restaurants require wayyyyy too much gold. Although this wouldn’t be such a problem if players were to receive the gold like we receive coins.

Money grabbing. Money grabbing game. You can’t progress without spending big bucks on gold. You could get free gold by watching ads but now can’t even do that as there has been no ads available for weeks now. Still waiting for a response and outcome on the fix to this from customer care. Do yourself a favour don’t start playing. It’s a shame because it’s an enjoyable game

Can’t get gold but still a goal. I agree with previous recent reviewers. Everything costs so much gold and also daily goals include watching ads for gold but recently have not been able to watch any ads. If you’re going to turn off that feature then make the purchases cheaper, don’t include them in the daily goals or better yet just turn them back on. I assume they get paid if we watch the ads anyway..

Takes too long to earn gold. It takes a very long time and is very difficult to earn gold in a game, and the gold is often necessary in order to complete episodes. Ironically, sometimes you can earn gold by winning episodes. This can mean sometimes spending 40 pieces of gold in order to win 1 or 2 pieces.

Used to be good, now it doesn’t even update. I’ve been playing Cooking Dash since it came out on PC and appreciated that this version has different cuisines. However, since a few months ago 1. VIP trial of style - even if I win the first one, it doesn’t get recorded and I don’t progress to the next, which makes it a useless waste of VIP tickets. 2. I serve all customers in a regular game level, and get 5 stars, but it only gets recorded as silver not gold, even if I use VIPs to make sure all customers are served. 3. Tried to raise an issue with customer service using the gear icon. After I put in my issue and hit submit, it says “invalid email” even if I’ve typed it in correctly. Basically, you can’t send complaints. I hope they fix this but it’s really a turnoff after investing so much time in this game.

Can’t get through many levels without paying a small fortune. This game used to be really good, thought I’d download the new version for something different, but you can’t get anywhere without paying a small fortune to continue. I rather just pay a fixed cost and have the full game instead of adverts everywhere all the time.

Was fun but cannot progress. Started playing this game almost from the beginning. Fun game which is why I stuck with it for so long until recently. They need to fix the glitch that stops me from progressing and the game doesn’t recognise me finishing any level and register as unplayed while at the same time keep taking my boost which takes time to get. This can keep happening three, four times in a row and that’s if you are lucky. Restarting and updating the game doesn’t seem to do anything either! This has become frustrating and not fun anymore which is what an app should be about. Seriously considering deleting this game.

Don’t waste your time. I used to love this game. But I believe the creators have been super greedy with money this app which is really disappointing since it has the potential to be a great game. You will never get enough gold to complete any of the stages. Even if you purchased gold the cost is ridiculous and might allow you to complete maybe one restaurant (if that). So disappointing. Maybe try and support your players by giving them better bonuses. For the amount of levels there are I think it’s a really poor effort that you haven’t tried to make it easier to unlock levels by now.

It seemed so intriguing. I have always really loved Diner Dash and it’s other exciting series. Flo was an ingenious character who had such a great personality. The levels were challenging, yet, it was so satisfying to fulfil once a level was completed. However, trying to play this game it began to become a difficult task to do. Having only re -download it onto my device yesterday, I was tasked to watch videos that did not re-spawn at all. Secondly, the game itself does not allow you to make enough money to open other stores. Finally, trying to replay old levels, my device kept crashing (four times to be exact).

Bugs out. Only recently this game has started to bug out. I would wait hours for a recipe to finish, go into an episode to play and then it bugs out and takes back to the main page. Which means, I lose supplies and the recipe that I’ve waited hours for! It’s also so hard to get gold... please make it a little easier to play this game because at this rate I’m just going to stop playing.

Great game - very buggy. I love the game and play it daily. However im experiencing issues when i purchase offers or take surveys for gold rewards and often i don’t receive them. this is frustrating as i’m spending money on them/time to complete them

So disappointed. I have been playing this game for over 10 years. In that time I have invested real money. I have been also taking advantage of the offers for free gold both by watching ads and completing special offers. Over the years, it has been harder to get free gold to continue playing but recently, the ability to watch ads for gold has been removed also. So in addition to spending money and being a loyal player I get very minimal offers and rewards. I understand that everyone needs to make money but I think the developers need to look at the rewards they’re giving. One bar of gold for a daily challenge is pretty pathetic. Also, serve one million customers (on average there’s about 12 customers per game) to earn 25 supplies (equal to 2.5 games). Gee thanks for nothing.

Game crashes a lot & terrible customer care support team. Very disappointing level of support. It takes days for the customer care team to come back to me when I report an issue. Customer care team also seems to require screenshots when you report an issue during gameplay which is ridiculous. Why would anyone take a screenshot or even have the time to while playing a high-paced game. Although I lodged my complaint twice, I still received the same response insisting on a screenshot. Please do not bother with this game.

Expensive to play. Don’t download this game unless you want to spend real money. It’s a great game I love it but I spend too much money on it getting gold. The game gives away hardly any gold and you need lots and lots of it to progress. It asks you if you want to watch a video to get free rewards but the videos don’t work for anyone it seems. If you could get more free gold this game would have a perfect rating from me.

Used to be great. Like others, I have been playing this game since the first one was on PC and since this app was released. Ever since their new game came out (which I don’t like) there have been bugs in this game with do not get fixed. I tried to save my game and lost over a year worth of progress. I got an apology and received 10 gold. I had calculated losing about 700 gold, some of which I had spent real money on during this time. There is also a bug when playing Trial of Style (tournament) where your progress is not saved. Again, each time I complain and I’m told they know and credit me lost VIP tickets but usually after the event has ended. The makers don’t appear to care about this game or it’s users anymore which is a shame, as I would have rated it 5 but now rate it 3.5

Used to be Good, Now It’s Just Buggy. I’ve been playing Cooking Dash/Diner Dash games since the very first one came out on PC and I’ve been playing since this app launched. While it does take lots of gold to update you do get 8 free ones per day by watching videos. I however have invested real money in the game (probably close to $100+). This game is interesting and addictive however since the latest update I haven’t been able to play the Trial Of Style events for almost a month. I know I’m not alone as a lot of the community have been posting about it too. It uses all my VIP tickets and boosts and doesn’t record my scores. Customer Service just keep saying they know about it and they’re working on it. That’s it. I think for a bug to be going on for a month is a bit ridiculous. Once the bug is fixed I’d rate this game 4.5.

Good game but bugs need to be fixed. Love the game, however sometimes I’ll notice after finishing a level, I won’t receive the coins I made for that level - the game. Malfunctions and I have to delete the app and download it again for it to work properly again. Definitely a bug that needs fixing. Besides that, the games very fun but I’m not too keen on how much gold you require to finish the game or even unlock new venues.

glitches still not fixed. This was a fun game but there is an issue with the Trial of Style events. I can’t participate in them which would allow me to earn extra items. I contacted customer support who told me they are aware of the problem and working on it. This has been going on for months. If your not going to fix it just say. Not playing anymore as cannot fixed

Great Game, a few issues. A great game that can get challenging in a good way. I enjoy the Trial of Style a lot, it gets very competitive. There was an issue with the game saying that I wasn’t connected to the internet when I’ve clearly got the internet on. Hopefully it gets resolved before the trial of style happens. Other than that it’s great!

Disappointing. There are so many reasons why I can only give this game 1 star. The main one is the fact that about 10 years ago I discovered the Flo games (diner dash, cooking dash and hotel dash) on the Big Fish website and they were not yet owned by GLU. You would pay to download the game for a one off cost - and then it was yours. Hours of addictive fun, able to pass the time away. Never having to worry about making an in app purchase just to progress or get the boosters you need to even finish a level. Ah they were simple times. Now you can’t find a Flo game for download anywhere. So imagine how excited I was when I found Cooking Dash in the App Store! Only to be totally totally disappointed when I realised that to even progress a little bit you basically have to fork out. Gone are long hours wiled away with Flo. What a bummer.

Beware the scam!!!’. This was my all time favorite game. Not anymore! There will be no more updates to games or levels (their words), daily tasks to earn gold are set up so you can’t complete them (watch three videos; they’ve admitted they’ve turned them off!!! 😡😡) and customer service gives a politicians answer or doesnt reply at all. Save yourself real money and stress and download another cooking game!

Great game, AWFUL customer support and CRASHES. The cooking/dining dash games are great. The concept is great and there’s great variety in recipes and restaurants to keep things interesting. HOWEVER, there are SERIOUS downsides to this game which almost ruin it entirely - blatant money grabbing: you basically can’t advance without lots of gold. Realistically, more gold than you could earn within a reasonable amount of time which means you need to buy it - game often crashes meaning you lose recipes you’ve taken hours or even DAYS to prep. Customer service replaced a recipe “as a courtesy” however why is this a courtesy when it’s a problem within the game? It’s not my fault the game crashes! Ridiculous! Basically if you haven’t started playing this game yet - DON’T

I liked it but not anymore.... I really like the game itself but I am no longer able to play the game as every time I am about to start a level it crashes out of the game. I really liked playing the game but I can not play it anymore. Please consider fixing this problem. I honestly do not recommend this game as at first I really loved it but after the third day of installing this game it only glitches out.

Addictive, but costs real money to progress and IT Support is terrible. You need to spend real money to progress anywhere. I had an issue that the game crashed every time I attempted to open a level. After 2 weeks of failed back and forth customer service the best they could suggest is hard reset and download again. Which I did. And it did not resolve the issue. They are now not responding to my request to resolve.

Love it but has issues. Love this game, however I am finding I have to update it between 1-3 times a day which eats at my data. Is there a particular reason the game needs so many updates, very frustrating when all you want is to turn the game on and have to wait for downloads constantly. Needs sorting out.

It was super fun, but now it’s too hard to get gold. Like other people have noticed, it’s harder to get free gold. Sometimes the videos don’t reward you, there are no other offers available (for the last two months at least) and they’ve changed the daily reward for a spin of the wheel - which hardly ever lands on gold. I wish it went back to how it was with the daily prize, chance to win gold, xp, 10,000 in coins.

Always crashing. I love this game but it’s crashing all the time! It’s really annoying, the customer service keeps telling me to do the same thing (enough space on your device? Any apps running in the background?), and it always crushes at one venue so it seems like a glitch on their end. Save your time and money and dont download (as everyone pointed out here if you want to progress you have to pay)

Great game but gold reward scheme is awful. I love playing this game and I don't even mind watching ads for gold or doing activities for gold, but recently I followed one of the reward activities by downloading and playing another app til I reached a certain level. Was promised 714 gold bars and I spent a week playing constantly to get it... so now that I've done it, it says it's rewarded but low and behold no gold!!! Absolutely ridiculous when they make everything revolve around gold but don't even follow through on the ways to earn it! Boycotting this game to avoid further wasting my time!

Too expensive. I used to love this game and have been playing it for over a year now but I’ve noticed that it’s too hard to earn gold and you have to keep paying to buy more gold for upgrades and without paying for those upgrades you can’t get 5 star and therefore can’t get more gold and even if you get the gold it’s still not enough. So ridiculous.

Money-grabbing game that keeps you paying.... I used to love playing this game, but lately I've been very disappointed with it and the way my feedback has been handled. - BASICALLY THIS GAME MAKES YOU PAY TO GET GOLD IN ORDER TO GET MORE UPGRADES, AND PAY GOLD TO PLAY MORE LEVELS AND MORE GAMES. BOTTOMLINE ITS VERY EXPENSIVE TO UPKEEP. AND NOW WORSE STILL, there used to be a gold bar reward awarded for every video presentation you watched in the past, now you DON'T necessarily get a gold bar each time you watch a video, which I think is ridiculous and below the belt in the money grabbing scheme of things. I also contacted Customer Care about this, saying there is a glitch, but they kept saying sorry there's nothing they can do about it or they're trying to fix the issue, but really, I think they created the issue in the first place on purpose so they can lure desperate players to pay for gold bars rather than earn them through watching videos. How cheap is that? I'm boycotting this game now.

fell to the paywall plague, buggy, abandoned. might as well consider the game abandoned since they know about its issues and dont do anything about them, besides vip events being messed up (among other things) the game still says you can watch an ad for gold but doasnt actually offer one, the button is completely gone. hopefully just a bug bcuz anyone who thinks the people who where watching them would go through all the effort of those “other offers” options about downloading other games that everybody knows never actually work anyway or even paying for it instead of just stopping playing is an idiot. thought this would be one of the few old nostalgia type games to survive killing itself by slamming all its users with paywalls but apparently it was just going a little slower than all the others.

uwu. pinche juefito de mierds esel peor juego del mundo estan pero tan malo k no lo recomiendo nome dan las estrellas k m meresco, gracias por grafias poe su atenaion por

Cooking Dash. Way to hard to make gold !!! And sometimes you can't collect gold when it says you can

Could be better. It’s super difficult to get gold and vip tickets without having to buy and this is probably why I’ll stop playing… it was fun until it became repetitive because it seems impossible to move forward without the gold and vip tickets

Micro transaction zone. Sad to see this game become a micro transaction hellscape. Otherwise a nostalgic and entertaining time management series, but yeah—it’s kinda messed up they start you off with a stockpile of stuff for awhile until it’s gone then it’s $$$.

Please bring back free gold!. This is the best game in the world, but I can’t afford to play it anymore. I’m so depressed they got rid of the watch ads for gold.

Fun BUT. Fun game but I noticed something about this game. All of the customers for the most part have a lot of patience. Except one, the only black character in the game. The one black character in the game you guys set to have the shortest patience, it’s also a female. You may not be aware but this plays into the stereotype of the angry black woman. For many this may be a reach, but representation matters if you want to be fair for all potential gamers. I also feel like this was intentional. Please fix this, it’s 2019 playing into stereotypes of the angry black woman shouldn’t be used in a game that’s for children who may have no contact with black folks outside of this game, then they’ll turn around and think black women are just angry. Once again to many this may seem like a reach, but positive representation matters especially when ALL of the white characters in this game hardly ever get angry.

Impossible to play for long without buying gold. I with I could just purchase a game without all the damn in app purchases. They make it impossible to play after a while without buying some help you can’t pass a level. I got sucked in and spent ten dollars but it goes too fast! Dumb I’m over it. I’ll go back to games I can buy once!

Load only restaurants you’re playing. It takes forever to download all the restaurants just so you can play only the restaurants you have access to. Should only need to download what’s relevant to my game play.

Events not working. I love this game but it gets harder as it progresses and the events which are the only chance to get vips are not working for me. They stopped working months ago and every time I reach out to customer service they tell me they are aware, yet no changes have been made.

Way too difficult to get gold. It’s such a fun game and I always find myself redownloading it every few months, until I remember the reason I deleted it in the first place. The ratio of earning gold to spending it is way off! As you get farther in a venue, passing the levels with perfect stats becomes near impossible without a ton of upgrades, which all require so much gold that I just don’t have. ALSO, the VIP tickets. Tell me why it took a damn week for me to finish the series finale, all because I can only get a max of TWO VIP tickets every few hours, and the final level costed 15 TICKETS???? Then, I feel as though I’ve reached a dead end as delete the game before I even beat the taco venue. Though I’d love to try out the other venues, I literally can’t afford them LOL. Just a huge a money grab and not enjoyable or recommended for casual players.

Waste of time if bug isn’t fixed. I have one more level to get over four stars on to move to the next part of the game and it will not let me play that level so I can move on. It will close the entire app every time I try to play that level.. super frustrating. Fix the bug please!!!

fun but…... Fun for the most part but after a while its harder to get more stars to unlock the next levels , you’re basically running in circles trying to get them to advance , its a frustrating game.

Can’t connect to Facebook. Kinda annoyed. Lost all my progress. Can’t connect to Facebook to get it back. What gives

A SCAM. You can only make it so far into the game until you have to start buying gold. And the cost is way too high for it’s worth!! The Dash games used to be so good. Now they’re just a money grab 🤦‍♀️

Fun but frustrating. I like this game but when you pass levels you shouldn’t lose the supplies. The supplies are “lives” and you shouldn’t lose lives when you’re not failing levels.

Super fun. So much fun, but you should give us more gold!

Yikes. Great game, but it’s a nightmare of micro transactions

Gotten worse. It used to be great but now you can’t watch video to speed up progress of powers. Game is hard and they don’t give you many freebies

Too expensive. I love the game very much but it is hard to advance unless you spend a lot of money

Is there still online support for the game?. Hi, I like the game. I’m a little stuck on Eats for Earth and need help? Is the FB group active because I don’t think the one on Reddit is. Thx in advance

Impossible to play. I’ve always been a fan of these games but honestly it is impossible to enjoy this game as it is so difficult to pass levels without spending money. You need gold for everything, and it is so hard to get gold. Each new venue (which you have to purchase with gold in order to play) gets harder and harder to get more than 3 stars. You should really make some changes so we can continue to play

No way to advance. This game is fun but unless you pay it is frustratingly impossible to get ahead in game.

Please fix home indicator problem. Taps near the bottom of the screen, like when selecting ingredients, often trigger the home indicator and canceling the tap. It’s very confusing. This is an easy fix. Please support full screen or move the bottom items up slightly so they don’t overlap the home indicator bar. Update: it’s been 8 months since my review and this still hasn’t been fixed. Maybe I should stop spending money on this game!

Last update is a fail. Been playing lots and I really enjoy it, but seems like the new update is glitchy.

Gotten worse and keep needing to redownload. That’s what happens with no updates… agree with the other recent reviewers, no ads to watch, even if you want to and every few weeks it’s making me redownload all the different restaurants. What’s worse is the daily goals has been the same restaurant for weeks! And I have quite a few options. But just makes me do one of the same daily. I give up

This game is so fun!. I like this game because it’s so fun

Needs to be Updated. This game is really fun overall but sometimes it’s overshadowed by the fact that there’s not enough opportunities for gold and the boost inventory only works sometimes. After 3 stars you should be getting gold but I guess since there’s options to pay for more, the developers probably won’t do anything.

Glitch. I’ve enjoyed the game so far until the glitch cause me to lose grocery bags I saved up. I would lose 10 every time it glitches and I exit the game. Once I re-enter, I’m 10 grocery bags less.

ticket. no vip ticket .. how to play !!!

Not working properly. It’s been working fine since I started playing but now there’s a special two day event, and after completing one level, it cannot generate any of the additional levels :/

Requires gold. The game requires gold for upgrades and it’s hard to get gold. You can’t even watch a video for the gold. You would either have to buy them or do “tasks” outside the game like a survey or subscription.

Last update not working. App not working since last update. You finish a level but it doesn’t register.

Has gone very downhill. We used to be able to watch ads and get free gold, now the venues are way too expensive and we dont get a chance to get free gold (whats needed to purchase venues and upgrades). Also they just changed their events from gaining 2-4 VIPS to basically 1/2 which they are needed in order to pass these venues if you don’t want to spend gold. It is obvious they are just wanting us to spend money and if not they’re making it beyond hard to thrive playing this game. Im over it.

Recent Update not working. Since the last update I finished some levels and it doesn’t acknowledge that I finished the level after. Just goes back to the screen with all the restaurants...anyone having the same problem?

Too bad. No longer being updated! Sad.

No more gold. Used to love this game so much, but now it is impossible to get anywhere because you can't get free gold by watching videos anymore. Sad :(

Keeps crashing. I’m one episode away from moving onto the next but it keeps crashing, making me lose out on the shopping bags. Spoke to customer service and no resolution. Did everything they told me too and it still crashes

Horrible customer service. Game is fun but the customer service is so bad that I had to stop playing. They would never answer the issue and just keep giving generic language that does not help anything.

Crap now. Why did they take free gold videos away not worth playing now

UPDATE ERASES YOUR PROGRESS. I loved this game but it completely erased my progress after the new update. This was so upsetting...

Takes to many diamonds to buy upgrades. Love the game itself. But to upgrade anything it takes way to many diamonds and there are not enough opportunities to get diamonds.

Gold. Since the last update I can’t view any ads for free gold anymore. It’s been a long time since a new restaurant was available.

Misleading. This game offers many ways for users to gain “gold bars” unfortunately. They are fake sites that steal your information and data history. Beware of this misleading game. Although it may be entertaining, you encounter many pop ups stating to “purchase” every 3 minutes. By accident you may click it

Crashing after purchasing a game. This game is really fun but I found that this app often crashes when the game was just about to start. When I re-open the app, the tickets were just gone.🙁

Need Updates. This game is really fun and far better than other restaurant games, but there hasn’t been an update for a long time. Here are some ideas: 1) Have more events such as tournaments. 2) Change character’s appearance such as hair, makeup, etc. 3) Add more venues.

What the heck?!. I played this game quite a few years back so I decided I wanted to play it again.. well it’s not even the same game it used to be.. what’s up with that? 100% not fun.

Game. Takes too long to get gold :(

I love this game but... How many years has it been?? Please add the rest of the finales.. jeez.

No more ads for gold. I stopped playing because they don’t have ads to watch for gold and no other way to eat gold so there is no way to advance in the levels. Really stupid thing to have that taken away.

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Love the game!. This game is a lot of fun, but could use some improvements. First things first, I hate how long it takes to prep some recipes! The longest ones I have at the moment take TWO DAYS! And it just gets longer from there! It would really be great if they were shorter, like twenty minutes each, maybe? Anyway, the other thing is about watching videos for free gold. Don’t get me wrong, I love the free gold, I just think instead of only getting one gold, I think you should get two. My reason is that pretty much everything requires gold and gold is kind of hard to come by at times. What would be amazing, would be if every day the game would award you a few gold. Kind of like the deal wheel, you know, every day you get like maybe two gold. Thank you for reading my review and I hope to see these changes made to the game. God bless!

Error everytime I try to access episode 8. Hello, I love cooking dash any cooking game really but I overly love this game. However I’ve completed the 1st stage of the game but I needed to redo episode 8, but every time I try to access it, it kicks me out immediately and I repeat this step at least five times, and I get the same result. How will I ever be able to move forward to the next stages without being able to complete that one episode, is there a glitch going on or something. Because I’ve deleted the app five times and redownloaded it I also rest my phone five times and I still receive the same results. What’s going on.

It just gets stupid. I have known abt this game along time now finally downloaded it back and it’s just stupid having to use your money to buy golds and the VIP tickets, also it’s takes forever to get to grocery bag in order to move in to the next level… however I bought another restaurant and what I find is that I serve all the customers before the timer runs out and still couldn’t get my 5 stars which is weird because I did everything and still get like 1 or 2 stars and at the end of every episode you need atleast 4 stars to move on which is stupid .. it’s starting to get me angry because I love this game like I never can get tired of playing it but the way u have to upgrade stuff and how little money you get and having to spend real money and the game isn’t fair giving you your full stars for achieving the goals is just RIDICULOUS That’s y it’s a 2 star

Forget. I love the game in all but if u don’t remember how 2 make something it doesn’t tell you at the lesson you got the new food, and that can’t be good because you can lose customers, and I think there temper level and the clock should be a little longer and I get 1 star all the time cause of that and I don’t like when they’re at red they wave there hands up and have fire in there eyes and they should have no holiday stuff because some people don’t celebrate and that can make them uncomfortable ,and for table steaks I hate the siren and each time you play a new level it takes me to the upgrading station and when I get a new level it takes away my grocery bags and if you run then you can’t play till they are refilled.

Many bugs that need to be fixed.. I love the game for what it is. However there are many technical issues with the game. Once you beat a level, sometimes it exits out to the main screen and it does not recognize that won that level. Therefore causing wasted resources playing that game. It won’t work for days on end. Then randomly it will work for a few hours and go right back to messing up. Also you may beat a level and it doesn’t show you what you won, it just takes you to the main screen, but when you go back into the game it shows the level as at least being won and completely. I have reached out to them 3/4 times now and I keep being told they are aware of it and working on a solution. It is extremely frustrating. This has been going on for weeks now.

PLEASE BRING BACK 2014 DINER DASH!!. The reboot, Cooking Dash, is decent compared to Diner Dash. Cooking Dash makes it harder to get gold as you keep progressing. I was able to get 4 restaurants before I was unable to upgrade and progress even more in the 4th restaurant. I kept watching ads until I reached my ad limit, but ultimately decided to delete the app because it’s not fun watching ads on ads on ads just to upgrade one thing. With Diner Dash, there were more characterization and challenges making it unique and extremely fun. The customers (one steals, some make a mess, or have a bad temper), the plot (with the rival, Mr. Big), and the challenges (mopping, putting away boxes, chatting with the cowboy) are all what made Diner Dash fun. This reboot is such a downgrade. No characterization, no challenges, and being unable to progress is what makes this reboot a downgrade. They should’ve continued with the Diner Dash because it’s impossible not to love it.

Too Glitchy. I’ve been playing this since it came out many years ago, having loved and bought all the PC games, but the quality has degraded so much that I must comment. The actual cooking game is enjoyable. But the constant glitches (where I lose VIP customers I’ve spent 3 days acquiring or progress on trophies I’m working toward), the poor “rewards” (when you spin a “prize” wheel knowing you’re going to hate what you get except that 1 in 100 case, it’s not a reward or a prize!), removing videos to earn gold (because they can’t get sponsors anymore), and making earning some outfits nearly impossible (I’ve spent nearly 4 years trying to get some outfit sets and am still only at 10%) has made this game nearly unplayable. Add in the fact that the Trial of Styles are fixed and the developers abandoned this game for a different platform, and even though I’ve loved this franchise for many years and spent a lot of real-world money on it, I have to warn other people against it. It breaks my heart.

Terrible customer service and expensive to progress. There was an option to purchase a helper (grandma) but they did not state that she was only useful for one restaurant. I purchased one of their package deal thinking that buying this helper will help me in the long term but you have to keep purchasing this very expensive helper in every restaurant. You won't find out until you level into a new restaurant. And even if you you get into a new restaurant, you won't figure out the whole helper situation until you purchase one. I contacted their service and they said no refund. Okay fine, but I said you should at least give me the helper credits back and just take away the helper. No response. You would think they give you a bit more time of the day when you give them cash. NOPE. They really try to milk you for money if you want to go far in this game. It's not worth it.

Uhhh... where are my gold wings?. So everythime I pass a level. I get my 5 stars.... I also serve all my customers to get the gold wings.... so when I noticed I wasn’t getting them I redid all the levels to get them. And when I did that the following day the gold wings were gone again..... now I wanna keep my wings but every time I do the level it goes away and my wings are gone. But I keep my 5 stars.. I want. Y wings. So I’m gonna need you guys to fix that or give me my gold wings back from my levels... why should I have to play and use my energy to get the level to be gold when I know I served all my customers and got my 5 Stars. The more you don’t fix it the more I’m gonna go down in stars until I don’t play the game no more...I’ve never had an issue with the Gordon ramsey game ... and I actually like this game although u guys want real money half the time and Gordon Ramsey is reasonable but u guys over price things with the gold and whatnot

Years of progress gone. I loved this game for years. As other reviewers have said over the last few months the game needed to redownload every restaurant every time you opened the app (even when you hadn’t fully closed the app). I thought about deleting the game but ended up getting used to it even though it was very annoying. Then the special events wouldn’t load until all the restaurants had loaded so I would think I was making progress in a loaded restaurant goal but it wouldn’t count. The game started crashing more and more losing groceries and vip customers. Then last week, my entire account was gone. I would open the game and be at the tutorial. I tried closing the app and reopening, signing in and out of my account, deleting the app and redownloading... nothing worked. Years worth of progress gone. I had all but the newest restaurant and 5 stars with all customers served on every level of the majority of those restaurants....

No More Free Gold. I used to love playing this game. But now that they are no longer giving free gold by watching ads, it’s honestly not even worth it to play anymore. You used to be able to earn up to 11 free pieces of gold in a day, which is what you need to upgrade things in your restaurant. 8 of those pieces of gold was by watching the ads, and 3 are from completing daily goals. Now with the ads gone, it would take weeks (as opposed to a few days) to be able to upgrade most of the items in the restaurants. I think cooking dash is going to lose a lot of players because of this. I was playing daily, sometimes for several hours a day. Now, I think I’m just going to be done. I have so many restaurants, but what’s the point of playing if I’m never going to be able to afford to upgrade them.

Too glitchy!. I have been playing this game for a very long time! I even started a new account to redo some of my progress. I thought it was my phone glitching because every time I played, it would skip to the front screen and I’d get no stars, money, nothing. So I just used up 10 groceries for it to not give me anything. I’ve won a ton of times and not been rewarded. I’ve even contacted the company and they were rude and said they already knew it was glitchy and they were working on it. It’s been happening A LOT and still not update and not working right. I play every other day so it actually works. Hope you guys fix it soon... and to people complaining about the gold, click on the gold and it’ll let you watch the ads up to 9 times I believe, as long as you don’t watch the other ads for groceries or the “people”. I do it everyday and get gold.

Play a game, don’t be the game!. First of all, the game itself is nicely done, with quality graphics, a well-thought out experience and no technical problems. The first “restaurant” even makes sense, with your skill mostly driving the results and the coins &/or gold that are needed for items at reasonable levels. After the first restaurant, though, things go downhill. There is little connection between ability and game success. It’s nearly impossible to score more than one or two stars in some levels without upgrades and the upgrades are a ridiculously high number of coins &/or gold bars. There are opportunities to “earn” free coins or gold, which I took advantage of, but the only reliable source is watching videos, and you can’t earn enough that way. I set my spending limit at $10, which is more than I’d spend on most games for my phone. I’ve reached that, so I’ll be deleting this game now. I wanted to play a game, not BE THE GAME!!

Fun and addictive but.... I really enjoy this game and it is addictive! I bought a bundle that included removal of all ad’s which I highly recommend to anyone that plays this game regularly because those ad’s are a huge nuisance and not having to deal with them has made all the difference. I’m saving up to get an iPad because I’m currently playing on my phone which is not easy on my eyes and unfortunately causes me to make the wrong dish at times. My main complaints with this game is that you really need a lot of gold bars and coins to excel in this game therefore you need to purchase them with your real money. I do sometimes and don’t get me wrong you can get free gold by watching videos and/or completing offers, but you still need more. I would watch more ad’s but there’s a limit! I hate the limit! The other complaint is one that there’s not really anything that can be done about it. The more you play the game and the more restaurants that you open the longer it takes to load!!! It’s so frustrating. I have about seven currently and it takes a really long time to load. It’s almost frustrating enough to quit. Just imagine when I have 20 or more open. 🤔 I guess I’ll see how much worse it gets.

Loved old game but.... The new game seemed like it would so much fun with all the new restaurants etc. However there are glitches that don't pay out, buying bundles that take 3 days to get credited to your account, and expensive to keep playing. Why can't they just make a new and improved version of Diner Dash without stealing cash? It's not fun when it is so hard to go up a level, earn improvements, or forced to pay 10 groceries to replay the same level? I feel if you bought that level with your groceries you should be able to try it over and over until you pass. They have made the levels too hard to get through and just have fun. Food items look too similar and you mess up cooking wrong items and running out of time in taco train. I don't know, as much as I love the concept they got too greedy, care more about raking your wallet through the coals then having a great fun game.

Why play if the data is not saved. I have loved this game, played it for a few years, spent more money on it than I care to admit, but have to give it a poor review because for months now, the game is not saving progress consistently. I can spend expensive VIPs, get a perfect score and does not save that information! Daily goals to win gold are impossible to get when the game does not record coins earned consistently. It seems to work off and on, for a few hours or minutes, then no progress is saved. I wrote to customer support and at first they responded and refunded VIPs and some gold, assuring me that their developers were on it. But weeks went by, same issues, same reports back, not fixed. Now I only get an automated response to my reports of having lost gold, VIPs and time without the game saving. I would advise finding another game.

Diner Dash. Addicting game but could've been better if there are more ways to earn the gold bars. Also, it's disappointing that I need to use gold bars in upgrading items instead of just using money. Gold bars are hard to get and the free ways to earn the gold bars are misleading (except of course for the videos). They tell you to just submit valid information and you'll earn gold bars but after you do, you get nothing- a) cause the sponsor did not send you a confirmation email and b) cause you actually need to do tons of survey and the likes! Plus, because you registered, you will now get millions of ad emails. It gets more frustrating trying to communicate with their customer support because they would just tell you the same thing over and over again (like copy and paste from a script) without really trying to understand the issue at hand. I think they don't care about customers anymore but have become solely a profit-focused company.

Grannys 7. This used to be my favorite game. I liked it because unlike SO many other games I could earn what I needed to move ahead with the game. I am now thinking about deleting this game because of the "new features". That make things more exciting. In other words, what is going to make someone more money for creating a fake game that costs you REAL money to buy the fake things you need. When I went through the tutorial, it told me all about the great things available and how much fun this new challenge is, but nowhere did it mention that it not only cost you groceries to play but VIP tickets as well. I just wasted 5 minutes watching stupid ads thinking I needed groceries. I really don't like sneaky and underhanded. No, I didn't look to see what each round cost, but since Table Steaks only cost groceries before, I didn't think to look. Fool me. Don't know that I need to play this game anymore.

Beware...You will spend money. Like other reviewers, I love and hate this game. Love it because it’s a fun game, but hate it since it’s such a money grabber -more so now with the updated gameplay. If you don’t buy the chef, you may not get that far to do the other challenges for that particular restaurant. There are costume and pet upgrades but it takes forever to get them if you don’t spend real money. I’ve played this one for years, spent some money here and there but am considering deleting it. I am just tired of where they’ve gone with this game. Frustrating not being able to achieve 5-star levels (which you’ll need for other game challenges) without paying gold. So beware: If you’re willing to spend real money, then you’ll probably enjoy this game. If you don’t want to spend, don’t get started or play until you can’t anymore.

Fun game but too many flicked. I played this for years and loved it but stopped for a while as I got busy. I reinstalled on a new phone to start playing again. Problems everywhere. Too many options to get like pets, outfits, trial by style, etc it makes the game confusing. It used to be simpler. The worst part are the major bugs which make it hard to want to continue playing this game. To often it does not register my win and count up the stars and money and goes straight to the main screen. So basically I lost my groceries and prep recipes used to play that episode and lost all my winnings. Eventually it starts to work for a bit but then starts up again. They gave me a free 10 gold bars after I complained but that is not enough as I have lost way more. I refuse to pay for anything in the app for fear of losing it or my progress. No matter how much fun the game is I will eventually stop playing it unless the issues are fixed soon.

Good Game; Terrible Monetization. The game is very fun, and playing the first show (set of levels) was great. The problem is the way the game is monetized. The main thing is that your skill does not determine the star ranking you get on the levels, but the star ranking is crucial to progressing and getting currency. You can finish a level perfectly and get less than a star rating on the second show, for example. That's because the amount of money you make determines rating, and the amount of money you make per dish is determined by upgrade level of each of the 5+ ingredients, which is locked behind both coins and gold currency, both of which are accrued very slowly through gameplay. As an example, I have 5-star'd the entire first show and spent $3 but have no currency left to upgrade my ingredients for the second show. There is nothing to replay anymore! That means unless I pay up, I cannot progress in the game, and I would guess you will need about $10+ per show to actually have fun. Don't get invested, just play the actual, full Diner Dash which got released on PCs and consoles in the past. That's what I did, and it's a lot more fun when skill is the only thing between you and later levels :)

Great game but.... This game is really fun to play, but Some of the restaurants that you can buy are way too expensive. Like some of the restaurants cost like 10,000 coins or more. Over time you will probably get that much coins to buy some of the restaurants but then by the time you get enough coins to buy a certain restaurant there would’ve already been like 5-10 other restaurants that you could buy that are close to the same price as the restaurant that you have been working on to get since the beginning. The main problem with this is that in episodes you don’t really get a lot of coins from customers. Overall though this is a great game and the episodes don’t really take long to Finnish so, this is a really fun game.

Its pretty annoying. There’s so many hoops to go thru to play this game. I understand levels of a game but this game is ridiculous. The main requirement to play this game is GOLD. You can only get 3 GOLD per day by completing daily task + 8 additional GOLD by watching ad videos. It’s gets to the point where u have to patiently wait to collect GOLD everyday or spend your own money to play this game. You CANNOT complete certain episode because u need GOLD to upgrade the equipments, food and the restaurants. But by the rate your getting these GOLD without spending your own money....it’ll take you about 20 years to finish this game. My advice is maybe allow us to get 50 GOLD per day. There’s too many venues that requires upgrades and not to mention, you need GOLD access new venues. Why not just makes those venues FREE??? Since your already asking for GOLD for the stuff I mentioned.

Love this game!. I love this game. I’ve honestly had it, played table steaks, then stop on and off for years. Redownloaded it a few months ago, and now I’ve really branched out with different restaurants. I noticed a lot of people saying how frustrating it is that it seems you need gold for everything (which you do!) but I realized after playing for awhile that using the prep kitchen to its full availability gets you that gold quicker, for free! I did buy a second recipe spot, which helps a ton and has been the only purchase I’ve made! I just keep trying to get 5 stars/use VIPS/complete challenges (daily and otherwise) to get gold! Love the fast flow/no grocery times to, makes it super fun!

Excellent game ruined by ridiculous high price tag. As far as gameplay goes the game definitely deserves a 5 star rating. It is unique in so many ways, challenging, funny, satisfying. The greed however is worth a solid 1 star rating. The problem is the ridiculous amount of premium currency (gold bars) you need to spend to access 95% of it. The price tags are unreasonably high for everything that costs gold and pretty much everything does if you want to progress at all. They make it VERY difficult to earn gold too. The challenge aspect increases way too steeply. You can easily spend 125 gold (premium currency) on upgrades for a single restaurant and only be able to master 10-15 more levels which can be pretty disheartening. 125 gold = $10. And a warning these upgrades DO NOT transfer to other restaurants. I want to spend real money if I felt it was worth it but considering $10 hardly gets you anywhere, it just is not worth it which is a real shame. The game REALLY needs to reduce the price significantly on gold purchases or gold costs because you are really losing out on hundreds of thousands of dollars in IAPs because of the ridiculously hard to swallow price tag you are putting on gold.

The support and fyber have made this game not worth playing. Besides the fact they allow fyber to do the free offers even alot of paid offers and they cheat you out of your gold fyber took all my offers off for over 2 months i have had none and they told me to be patient i contacted support for the game and talked to beejay and he did nothing i sent a normal message and he told me i was being abusive and other things i asked how 4 times he ignored the questions told me to check my pop up blocker i did sent him a screen shot he asked for a image of the conversation i had with fyber so he could further investigate i sent the screen shot he said like they said u just have to wait ... really??? I asked for a phone number to speak to a manager he ended our conversation i am erasing the game and recommend u dont do the free offers and hope u dont need support :) There’s. Non stop issues with it crashing non stop and I have to uninstall and re install the app an I lose everything

Love the game, customer service is terrible. Ive been playing for years. I’ve noticed more issues as time has gone on. Ive been trying for two weeks now to be able to play. I lost all progress and customer service takes days to respond and their suggestions aren’t helpful. The latest is they want me to have a name of the latest trial of style event to be able to find my progress but it won’t even let me see that. And I’ve told them this and they keep repeating the same thing. They “messed with my account” (their words) in a first attempt a week ago and my game worked for thirty minutes until I backed out to answer a text and went back in and it was gone again. All of a sudden they can’t do that and need the other information I can’t access to look at My account. Ive asked it to be escalated to no avail. Ive reached out on their Instagram and on the website. No response to those. Terrible customer service.

Great Game/Terrible Customer Service. This is a great game, it’s definitely one you’ll need to spend real world money in order to make any real advancements. This wouldn’t be too bad if what you paid for was actually yours to keep. Instead you lose a lot of the boosts you pay for when the game glitches. I never in my life thought I’d be someone who pays to play a game. But it’s an addictive one once you get started. If I’m putting my money into something I expect to get every last cent of it’s worth. I’ve complained and written several messages to the customer service stating I either want the boosts that I lose due to their glitches returned to my game or to reimbursed for the money I spent on stuff that was taken from me. I have yet to receive a response several days later and this is the second time I’ve complained about this issue with no resolution. For this very reason, I will not pay to play this game again. And I would suggest no one start to play. They have no recourse when it comes to solving issues.

Unresolved Glitches. I have been having this issue where after completing a level, the app is not logging my progress. Which means if I used a VIP, I lose their points, gold, and whatever other drops they give, but also lose the whether or not I finished the level to unlock the next one. I contacted customer service and after several days of making consistent reports they awarded me a fraction of what I had lost, but also said they’d look into the issue to see if it’s widespread. According to a 3 year-old review here, this is an ongoing issue. So, I can either give up playing the game all together or be happy playing the same levels over and over again. I know many say this is a game that seemingly forces you to spend real life money. I haven’t run j to that issue with regular game play, but I will never spend a dime on this game knowing that this glitch will cause me to lose out on anything purchased. Don’t buy anything from them.

Best and worst game at the same time. I never knew such thing existed, until I started to play this game. Gameplay is so attractive and addictive that you just cannot stop playing. It’s challenging but it’s not frustrating. The levels get harder but you also find yourself better at the game. However, invest/reward system of this game is so bad. If you are like me, a perfectionist, you just have to earn that five star and serve all the customers possible in each level. Don’t ask me why, some people are just designed this way. Anyway, this means that you might need to upgrade all materials to level 2, save up gold bars for auto chef, get the VIP prep recipe, and be mentally super concentrated (for taco train for example). Now this might sounds like nothing but it is almost impossible. Upgrading materials require gazillion gold bars, and auto chefs cost so much (100) bars later on. The worst part is when you complete a free offer, half of the time you don’t get the reward (for example downloading an app, level up in Final Fantasy, etc.) You find yourself stuck in the game because you don’t have enough coins or gold bar for upgrading in the next show, and you are tired of playing the same show to earn coins. If you are going to spend real money, you would enjoy this outstanding game. If you want it free, move on and play some other free games.

Fun to play. In app purchase is buggy. I enjoy this game very much, but sometimes in app purchases don't work. I tried to buy Valhalla After Dark. I needed 10 more gold. I decided to purchase the gold for 99 cents. The game crashed every time. I tried 3 times and never was able to successfully purchase it. Thankfully I was only charged the 99 cents once. I still do not have either access to VIP Vallhalla after dark or my 10 gold that I was charged for. I don't want to risk trying again and getting changed and receive nothing. Free play seems to be the only event they do any more. It used to be different every weekend. I don’t think the developers care about this game any longer.

Irritated AF. Ever since I updated it to the newest version, every time I open the app it says multiple crashes and then lists my player ID.... I’ve never had this problem and it’s so irritating. If not fixed soon I’m over this game Also other suggestions: there should be 2-3 more daily goals to let players get a few more gold who do not wanna pay your stupid prices for this game The amount of stupid ads while playing this game is also getting g ridiculous and becoming Another deterrent... like is this game worth the stupid ads.. And lastly, to get gold which is nearly impossibly without paying except watching the few adds each day, you should allow users to watch 4-8 more adds a day than what’s already offered. Otherwise this game has become ridiculously to progress unless you wanna pay $$$ and I know I’m not the only one that feels that way And last suggestion, I wish there was also the option - similar to dinner dash in which you can play st venues without a time limit but you need an appropriate customer satisfaction. That would also be fun and could be another way in which users could Try to earn gold. Plz consider this and PLZ come out with an update soon cuz it’s been 1 week since I’ve been able to even play this game Since I updated and I’m sure if I look, I can find another game similar I enjoy Plz cooking dash, step it the f**** up

Sooo it’s starting to improve.... So there’s a love/hate review I 100% agree with. But with that being said about not being able to really advance as much without spending real money, I also wanted to give feedback on the new Trial of Style feature. While I love this and think it is an awesome and fun idea, no one really has enough VIP tickets to keep going... It’s like I have to make sure I will pass the level before I start because I’m always using my last VIP ticket. To make matters worse, I feel Time is then wasted on trial of style because I really really want to get further but I just have no way of getting tickets... and even further from that, you can’t even watch ads for vip tickets... so I can never even participate in it.

They want your real money!. This game is fun but they made it so difficult to progress or upgrade unless you spend real money and lots of it. I wouldn’t mind to go back to the old way - you pay for the game once and it’s all good. However I refuse to pay real money for freeware games. The reason is that if you pay once it would get you covered for a short period of time and then you have to spend money again and again. It’s a viscous cycle. I don’t mind watching commercials, though. My problem is that some developers (this one) make their games almost impossible to complete without paying real money even though they still make money from the gazillions of ads! And let’s talk about the offers that get you “free” gold. Often times they don’t pay out as promised or at all and CS does not respond at all. They do if the offer is for a few measly coins but if it is a lot - forget about it. Bottom line - the idea behind this game is good but the way they try to make money is not honest. Goodbye!

Lag time and poor customer service. The recent updates have everything lagging. Which is a bummer when you have multiple events going on. Further, be careful when you make purchases. I’ve made several over the last six months that I’ve been playing and the most recent one did not get credited to my account. Due you to the lag time from customer support I asked Apple to refund my purchase. When I did get a response they didn’t believe me despite showing my receipt in a screenshot. They didn’t actually read what I needed help with but instead made an assumption that I was asking for something related to TapJoy - a third party app that’s actually highly responsive to their customer base. Fun game, but poor customer service and lag time have me reconsidering how I want to spend both my time and my money. Disappointing for a company that’s been around for a while.

Money hungry, and lies.. When I played this game for the first time I thought it was quite nice. Over time I got more and more into the game and I saw the bad side. I decided to that I should get gold. I didn’t want to pay, so I decided to watch a video. When I’m done with the video I look and see I had the sane amount of gold I did before. I call customer service and they say a bunch of lies and then say “Maybe just uninstall and reinstall the app. We have data saved.” I then do that and NO DATA WAS SAVED! I spent a lot of time on that. I call customer service again and they claim “We never told you to do that. We’re sorry for this event.”....What? They tell me to uninstall and reinstall the app, then claim that they never told me to do that? I then asked, “Well can I at least have the gold that I called for in the first place?” And they’re response is, “We don’t remember a call from yesterday coming from this. We are sorry but the only this to do is assume you won’t free gold”. And they left. That day, I uninstalled the app and never, will I play that game again.

Pointless. Tldr; NEW PLAYERS BEWARE!!! This new update will make it near impossible to progress through the game without spending actual money. I’ve played this game for years. Even though I’ve opened all venues, I’ve still enjoyed working towards 5stars, collecting outfit sets, trial of styles, etc. But all of this requires upgrades & upgrades require gold. We used to get up to 11 gold per day, 8 from watching ad videos. Now they’ve taken away the ads, but for some reason still include watching ads as a daily goal, so the most gold you can earn per day is 2. They went from offering 11 gold per day to 2!!! Without decreasing the amount of gold needed for upgrades. The ONLY reason I continue to play this game is because I have played for years and have a lot of progress. But now I will only play to complete the daily tasks and that is it.

So Done and disappointmed. Ive never rated an app before but i fell in love with this game and played it for five years. Its clearly built to take your money. And super expensive to earn coin and gold and Level Up with the numerous levels. Some People like me relied on the free ads to help earn some extra coin without having to pay. Now that there have been no ads for the past 2 to 3 weeks the game is really not worth playing. There’s no way to level up and complete challenges without gold. If i cld just buy the game out right for $40 or $50 i would but you cant. Its geared for you to keep spending more and more money. I refuse. If there not bringing the ads back theres 5 yrs gone and im just might as well delete the app. Not worth it if you cnt earn gold w/ ads

Great app!. I ablsohtly love this game. I was completely sadden when the developer did not update the first diner dash app. With that being said this game is great, I only have two issues. The first one is the advertisement within the game keeps getting stuck as well as other setting in the game, for example when I click on “closet” it gets stuck as soon as it opens and I can not go back to the home page. I she constantly keep closing out the app everyone to start over. The second is that you have to use 10 of your fruits/good to play a game. This goes buy to quickly and forces you to stop playing once you run out of supplies. Once they fix those issues for me this game will be number 1 for me.

No longer worth the time. I've played this game for several years and overall it’s a well designed game. Is it difficult to progress without spending money? Of course. However it is possible and it’s no worse than most others. My main issue is that now almost every day they make you “download” every venue before you can play. This can take anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes. There are no actual changes to the venues (some have been exactly the same for years) and yet I have to wait for them all to finish before it will let me access the events or the daily wheel. Can you start the download and do something else on your device? Nope, you just have to dedicate 5-15 minutes to staring at the loading bars before you can play. This is unacceptable to the level that I think I’ll finally have to uninstall after all these years and find a game that at least entertains me as it wastes my time.

Don’t invest. Don’t ever purchase anything on this game. The game resets at random you will lose everything. One day everything was just gone and no matter what I try it won’t come back. I did lose all my gold and progress in the game when it reset but luckily I routinely screen shot the game. I contacted the game developers and they fixed it in a timely matter. The only issue I currently have is the latest update has glitches. Like literally my screen keeps blinking off and on. I’m not going to blame the game off the bat for this because I don’t have the latest iOS. I don’t usually update immediately. If after I update my phone if I’m still have issues I will contact the game developers. This is the second time this game glitched. This time I lost all my gold crowns. Idk what is going on with this thing. I’m might have to find another game to play because I can’t deal with this.

Great game and service. I don’t usually write reviews, but I recently had an issue I feel warranted a high review. Not sure what happened with the last tablet update, but I lost my entire game. Been playing for several years, and spent quite a bit of money in the past, so the loss was major! Sent a ticket into the troubleshooting team. It took several days to get a response (not a surprise considering current world situations), but they were able to restore everything I lost. I do have a few issues with the game itself, but the game is fun enough and engaging enough for me to keep coming back. The quick help and consideration with this issue will also keep me coming back, because it tells me they’re listening. Very rare in today’s world.

Fun up to a certain point. For the first couple of levels, it’s fine but I feel like I’m gonna have to delete this game because once you get to a certain point they make it so hard that you can’t even win one star. And the only way to win is to spend money on gold so I know when you’re like this game and I’m going to delete it. Because I refuse to spend money!!! I have probably deleted and re-uploaded this game maybe around 10 times already it’s definitely a love-hate relationship between me and this game. I guess I’ll just have fun up until I get so sick and tired of it but I delete it and then maybe couple more months down the line rear whatever I’ll probably re-upload it. I like the graphics.

Fun game bad set up. Love the game and challenges. Don’t even mind spending money to advance, the problem is when I do get VIP’s and upgrades sometimes, more times than I would like, the game will kick me out of the game before it starts and when I go back to start my upgrade is gone! For instance I prepped the re recipe for fast flo, I go to start the level, it kicks me back to home and now no fast flo! This last time seriously has me considering deleting the app because it’s only a way to get you to spend money. I’m hooked ready to win the level and the game cheats me, I guess I’m supposed to be so geeked that I go in to pay for the replacement - I don’t think so. Also if you choose to view the ads too much for them they cheat you out of the upgrade or vip promised. This game is a rip off if your not spending a significant amount of dough.

Too expensive. But stupid fun.. The thing is, Cooking Dash is extremely expensive, especially when you want to 100% upgrade your restaurants to earn better points for the Trials of Style Against other people. What makes me even more mad than the high cost? Ramsay Dash is cheaper than this game. Ramsay Dash also awards more gold daily and weekly than Cooking Dash. The deals? Worse than the ones offered in Ramsay Dash. If you want to play a less expensive game I’m sure the choice is pretty clear. However, I am optimistic that the game devs might take this into consideration and decide to be more generous with their gold in this game. I generally am more willing to part with a few $$ if the deals are fair and the game is generous as Counter-productive as it sounds. Why? Because I like supporting F2P friendly games so they continue being generous. That’s also a way to attract serious minded players like I like to consider myself, and other fans of this series, to be. Please Glu, be more generous... it pays off. Really.

Fun game play, hard to progress. I love this game. There are so many fun levels that are uniquely themed and just overall super cute. The only thing is that it is nearly impossible to progress. Unlike Restaurant Dash with Gordon Ramsey, you hardly get any coins per level. And in Restaurant Dash, you can build up Gordon to immediately clear the customers you have in store, which helps earn more coins. Cooking Dash doesn’t have any sort of boost like that. So without earning more coins per level, you can’t purchase upgrades and then you just get stuck. I’ve honestly stopped playing because of that. But I’d like to play more, I’m just tired of playing the same levels over and over again trying to earn more to move on. Oh well, maybe the creators will finally update after all of the complaints🤷🏽‍♀️

Love the game but to much money. I really enjoy playing this game have played for a few years now. I have spent a lot more than I am happy to admit playing this game trying to achieve 5 stars on the levels and each level cost more than 100 bucks to purchase the upgrades but even after you purchase all the upgrades you cannot pass the levels with 5 stars there is no consistency on the amount that you can get playing the levels for example if I play a level with all the upgrades using the level super chef and I serve all of the customers I still only get 4 stars same as I would get before purchasing upgrades. Long story short It feels like a rip off the amount of money you have to invest in this game to never be able to achieve a the 4 and 5 stars needed to unlock extra levels.

Please fix this. Let me start by saying I absolutely love this game! It’s honestly an addiction. And the problem I have, isn’t a very large, one but one I’m sure a lot of people can agree on. Some of these levels, I feel are designed to make it impossible to get five stars in. I have played games multiple times in a row. 5-6. With different boosts and recipes. But yet I’m not given enough coins to make it to five stars. I’ve tried getting them by collecting coins in tip bonuses. And nothing. Now I’m OCD, and obsessive. I like to see five golden stars on each of my levels. I feel as if all customers are served, an extra boost of coins should be added to help possibly get to the five stars if close enough. Other then that, I very much enjoy this game. And I have been obsessed since I was a kid. If this is fixed, I will definitely give it five stars.

Addicting but glitchy. This game is very fun, challenging, and addicting. There are many levels and goals to earn bonuses so that you can improve your odds. Many weekends there are additional bonuses, like extra gold drops or no penalty for playing. I had set this game down for almost a year and picked it back up recently. A year ago there were no issues with the videos you can watch to earn certain power ups - tedious, but necessary if you want to upgrade sooner. Now, however, there are glitches in the videos....I don't know how many times I have watched a video now that did not give me the promised upgrades. In the past, if I had met the quota for the day I would get a message that said there were no more videos and to try again later. Overall, one of my all-time faves....hope they fix the glitches.

Needs Improving !!. 1 ) i’m tired of trying to play my game then it goes back to the home screen ! when uu click a place to begin working & uu press the grocery thingy so it could take ten away it loads for about ten seconds then it stop & my ten grocery thingies are gone 🤨! then i gave to wait more time , that bothers me . 2 ) these ads that say it’s gone give uu gold or money or more grocery thingies be lyin ! it says it’s a quick little video so i watch it play the game if it’s a game & it still hasn’t gone away .. annoying ! normal games the ads only last fifteen seconds thirty the most .. so i’m not understanding . 3 ) it’s soooooo hard to get money . in one day uu only get like a hundred and fifty coins and that pays for nothing !! i had to redo all my levels just to get enough coins to upgrade my stuff 🙄 done waste ur time getting this .. it starts out fun until uu get to the third season of the first thingy .. hope it helped 🤩
