User Reviews

Players praise Chef Friends for its visuals, story, customization, ad-free experience, and fair progression without mandatory spending, plus responsive support. The main negatives center on monetization: levels often gated by purchases, currency balancing issues, and recurring performance problems after updates. Several reviews also note paywall-like design choices and level design that pressures spending.

Pros

Stunning graphics, engaging story, and satisfying restaurant-building customization.
Ad-free gameplay with no mandatory ads.
Progression is possible without forcing purchases; upgrades are affordable.
Well-paced difficulty and enjoyable challenge.
Responsive, helpful customer support from the developers.

Cons

Pay-to-progress gating: many levels feel blocked unless you spend gems/diamonds or time extensions.
In-game currency balancing issues: coins and rubies are scarce or devalue between levels, making upgrades frustrating.
Frequent loading and performance problems, including lag and slow loading after updates, sometimes on newer devices.
Updates that increase costs or pressure to monetize, making progression feel less fair.
Some levels seem designed to push purchases to pass, creating a paywall impression.

Recent reviews

I want to start off that this is an AWESOME game. Everything from the graphics to the storyline to be able to choose options in regard to design of the restaurants. I’ve been looking for a cooking game that stands out and this is one of my favorites! But I think there was a recent update where it changed the pricing of the items to be less expensive (great because it was crazy expensive to update every time and had to play a lot of levels to get the coins) but now the appliances that have timers are much slower, the fastest it can go is 5 seconds which it used to be 3 seconds. It feels a bit less challenging and soooo slow when playing the game. I’m used to go go go and the 2 second difference makes a difference. I feel like I have to wait forever for the food to be ready.
