What players say
Players praise the relaxing story and satisfying progression from a humble izakaya to a larger restaurant, but note the auto mode removes stress and can also remove the challenge. Opinion is split: some love the option, others find it drains the fun. Performance issues like high GPU usage and minor bugs are common complaints.
