Awesome Game
I love this game! It’s super fun however there are a lot of things that it nags you to buy. It’s still loads of fun playing it free like I do though. Awesome game!🤩

2026-01-02
This game is so good!
This is the perfect cozy game. It’s so fun talking to the customers, buying furniture and filling out the requests. The only downside is that my progress doesn’t always save… I was hiring prince the gardener (he was quite a lot of cod) and the progress never set
:( I like how the prices are not to expensive and that their easy to get
2025-12-19

No character creation
I’m sad to say that I love this game but there is no character that you can create (please add this)
2025-10-10
Greedy
I always huge some longggg ads like 1 in 2 ads whenever I have to watch some. And also when u do the earn diamond or cod thing (the game currency) you have to play some other games and I discovered the ones that they select are literally almost impossible with terrible reviews
2025-10-08
uh..
its not really like the ads, where its cat humans and you choose what they look like. perhaps youtube is misleading..
2025-10-02
So cute
I have just started this game, it’s so cute and calming, really addictive I love it I love cats
2025-10-01
Good game but performance
You need to add 60fps or 120fps for now cus my iphone 15 pro is great performance but in your game app is really bad laggy and only limited 30fps it should be 60fps com on man
2025-09-27
Very good

I love this game!!
I was looking for a fun but also more interesting app because lots of games with a similar concept are badly put together and get boring after a while. The developers have obviously worked very hard to create such a beautiful game and make it interesting and fun to play! I never get bored playing it because there are hundreds of tasks, achievements and levels to unlock. The design is so pretty and cute which makes it so much more satisfying when you upgrade your restaurant. Such an underrated game!
2025-08-25
I LOVE IT
it a great game and it fun to play whenever your bored in your room doing nothing at all. I mean it a game to take a break after school.
2025-08-23
Amazing
I love this game it’s so fun and I’ve played it for so long, definitely recommend this game ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great game!!! Super fun, got me through 3 six hour car drives with no wifi in france
•the graphics are simple and so cute!! 🥰
•the game has a lot of different things to do like playing on the game machine, fishing, looking after your pet and completing daily tasks. I didnt get bored at all!
•i can turn off music and sound so i can listen to Chappel Roan whilst playing my fave game!
•U can friend ppl and visit their restaurants
BUTTTTT
THESE R THE ONLY ANNOYING THINGS!!!
•the cod & diamond tasks didn't seem to work for me, im not sure if thats js me?
•u cant restart the game once u have completed it so it get booooorrrriiiinnngggg
•u cant refund stuff u buy using game currency e.g. i had 1 1/2 million and i spent 1 million on smth by accident and couldnt afford the takeout store :(:(:(

Addictive
This game is probably the best of its kind. Hardly anything in this game is that hard to get, and if it is hard, it’s also fun. Also, adding cute cats just makes it even more enjoyable. I have a suggestion to make it even better: be able to create a Line account where you can log in. Overall, this game is REALLY fun. 🐱
2025-08-16
I LOVE IT ❤️
It’s SUCH a good game, all the areas you can unlock and all the people coming is just SO CUTE 🥰 but I just don’t understand why you have to sign in, even though there is an option not to I’m still very confused. But overall, it’s one of my fav games and I think it’s suitable for everyone!
2025-08-16

ADDICTING
I adore animal restaurant; it's amazing taking orders, collecting cash, attracting new customers, upgrading the place, and more. It's seriously addictive and so much fun! I 100% recommend and I can't think of a single bad thing to say about this game. Download if you are always bored and have nothing to do!! ❤️⭐
2025-07-24
perfect engage in game
after the trip of the sgp,I feel a bit boring,i think it’s a important thing that find a relaxing game to enjoy myself and lead me get rid of boring,then I saw the animal restaurant
2025-07-20
Cute and cozy game
All the animals are very cute. It’s kind of repetitive but that is expected with games such as this. It’s very addictive tho.
2025-07-19
Simple but cute game
This game has a very simple premise, serve customers, get currency, improve your restaurant, but the art style is very endearing and delicate
2025-07-15
Teehee
Such a silly adorable game I love it 🥰 It is so silly and fun and I spend too much time on it hehe 🤭
2025-06-30
So good
This game is amazing if you want to have fun definitely play!
2025-06-27
i was TRYING to play bungo tales man
i was trying to play bungo tales and i was in the middle of an ad when this stupid game about disgusting critters in the kitchen feeding other vile animals just froze what the freak how dare you just freeze and not unpause i was trying to get my login bonus im going to shove my big toe in your ear
2025-06-22
❤️❤️SO CUTE❤️❤️
Omg it’s so fun and addicting I love it so much the animals just make my heart melt❤️❤️❤️
2025-06-20
Best thing ever
Literally so fun omg been playing for ages now straight
2025-03-15
one of the best mobile games ive ever found
I love this game genuinely so much it has such a fun loop. I feel that it’s not as aggressive with things like ads as other games and it’s so nice to just come back to. It’s such a cute game. The art is adorable. I love being able to collect things I love that they stack so when you buy a piece of furniture, when you buy the next one, your first pieces benefits still count. it means that everything you buy has value to you instead of just waiting to buy something more expensive because you’ll miss out on the benefits you would get from having both pieces which means that you wont feel like you’ve wasted your money you are getting the benefit of everything you’ve bought. I love the way this game works. I’ve been playing it for years now honestly I have never been able to find a game quite like it and it’s just amazing.
2024-07-31
Very cute
This game is really cute! Only started playing it today and I have upgraded quite a few things in my little restaurant already.
There are some in game rmt’s but you’re not forced to buy any of them which is good, and a few things to make it a little easier ask you to watch an ad to get it which is perfectly fine too because you really don’t have to do either and they are the only ads in the game, the ones you agree to watching, other than that you can just happily play the game ad free.
2023-11-24
this game is so much fun!!
I love this game, a few days ago I started playing and wasn’t very attracted but now I play this game every single day! I will be really sad if no one plays this game, animal restaurant is probably my go to game from now on, and I hate scrolling through the same games and if you hate scrolling through the same games too, then AnimalRestaurant is for you, but I have nothing else to say apart from how this game is so attractive and I love it, and I know I hate ads but yeah! anyways, if you love this game I think this game is for you!
2023-08-08
This app is amazing!
I absolutely love this app and I never write reviews. I felt like a had to because it’s probably the best game I have experienced. It’s art is so adorable and it’s so easy! You get to feel the process of how to open a restaurant and there are like no ads unless you watch one to receive something. Either way, the ads are so short and passes are so cheap. You can get around 240,000 cod and 700 diamond for £1.99!! (In Uk).
There’s one problem I have so far had which is if you unlock something new, it glitches out slightly for a moment but it doesn’t affect anything. I just think the workers are too slow but much to expensive to upgrade slightly when you have to pay for the restaurant.
Overall, I hugely recommend this app and you should definitely get it!!!
2023-07-16
Sad love
I love the game and I always have, I’ve had it for over 1000 days and I don’t think other players would be as patient as me. I’ve noticed it’s actually really hard to advance in the game as things are so expensive…I don’t think I’ll ever be able to expand to courtyard 3 and unlock the new ‘pet mode’ because I don’t make enough film, I’ve never understood that and it’s a bit demotivating after having the game all this time. Even if I were to pay with real money to buy the amount of film I need, it’s just unfeasible. I’ve been dedicated to the game, but I just don’t understand how some restaurants I visit have such a high star rating. Some things do feel impossible…but I will still continue to love the game for it’s little characters and story lines and furniture.
2023-07-02
An Honest Review of this Game
Oh my goodness. I have been playing this game for a while now and I have to say it is absolutely amazing. While I can see it not being for everyone as there is little to no action in the game, for those who like slow paced games with some of the most adorable art in the world- this is for you! You really get to just relax and build your cafe without having to worry about anything else. I still can’t get over the artwork- it’s so adorable! I would definitely try it out <3
2023-06-02
Cute but needs some changes
I really like this game! It is super fun and calming, but the one thing that is frustrating is that the advertisements are inappropriate. I understand that this is a 12+ game, but even the ads are too much for a 12 year old. Also, I feel the gameplay is a little complicated and it is really hard to unlock everything. If the game just made it easier to unlock items and make the advertisements more child friendly, this game would get 5 stars.
Setting that aside, this game is really good!
2023-05-31
want to keep playing but can’t bc of bug
I love animal restaurant it’s a charming game that i’ve been playing for a while now, but for a few weeks i’ve been having the same issue where everytime i log into the game it doesn’t save my progress, for example, say i collected my tips and did the gachapon and sent hed wig, when i log back into the game that’s all reset and my cod will be back down to the amount it was before, im also stuck on -15 plates?? Someone please help me i’ve tried resetting my phone and re downloading the game but nothing works and i’d really like to play again
2023-05-30
Had to drop my rating since the updates
I was already annoyed at the fishing pond probability changes, and then the drop in courtyard film made me upset. But the gachapon changes are the final straw for me. One of the reasons this game was so good compared to other games like this, is that all your facilities stacked/combined. But now, you have to use specific gachas and wells for certain items. Why? That’s annoying. What was wrong with the old format? Why would having to select specific machines (and mess up my theme) for a drop, be better than putting everything in all machines, but altering the probability of them dropping based on certain times of the year/with certain purchases? Plus, now you can only get gacha customers if you already have the restaurant customer. Why? What made the gacha customers exciting is that they were like a free & easier to obtain preview of the restaurant customer. Now I have to wait twice as long to get a clone of a customer I already have— what’s special about the customer then? I may as well stop using the gacha. making it harder to reach achievements like earn film, win gacha/well drops, and earn bells, doesn’t make me want to watch more ads in an attempt to gain more resources— it just makes me want to stop playing & only come to collect my earnings to save up instead :/
Also, none of the clothing items fit anymore? It’s like they’ve all shifted position since the update, now they’re too low/high on the staff? Lol
2023-05-13
AMAZING but a few problems
It’s a really cute and addicting game, and although you need to watch ads for almost ANYTHING it’s a really good game.
My problem is about the ads. And no, it’s not about the amount of ads but it’s about the glitches.
Whenever I watch an ad, my device glitches and lags for around 2 minutes after I watched the ad.
Another thing about the ads just happened before I wrote this. I cant watch the ads to promote my restaurant, and if I try share I never seem to get the rewards.
But it’s still one of my favourite games, and I got my brother addicted too!
2023-04-16
Please help!
This is for sure one of my favourite games, and I’ve had it for years now! I once accidentally uninstalled it though, but luckily I had my account details written down many different times. There can’t of been a mistake, but I still can’t get my account back! Even if all of the things I have written down are wrong, it won’t let me make an account on my other devices even though they all have different Apple ID’s and accounts on websites.
This may just be a bug, or something up with my iPad, but thank you for reading!
2023-04-05
So cute and relaxing! I love it
I really really love this game it’s so cute and extremely addicting and just so fun to play with if you need a cane to relax with. There’s only a couple of things that I would like to see in the game, like it would be really cute if the customers were more interactive, for example they could leave something or complement you or just something intractable! Also maybe we could move the furniture by choice so you can choose where things go so then the restaurant could be more customised! But overall the game is sooo cute and I love it so much and I can’t wait to continue playing. Thankyou so much I love it💗💗
2023-01-05
Good game but haven’t received the gems I purchased
I absolutely love this game, so much so that I don’t mind purchasing gems/diamonds every now and again. I’ve unfortunately however not received my latest gems despite the money already been taken out of my account. This is odd as all of my other purchases have gone through no problem.
I’ve tried getting a solution from Apple but they say it’s an app issue and to get in contact with the developer. Unfortunately though I cannot understand the developers website enough to get in contact there (language barrier). I really do hope you’ll get in contact with me to solve this 😅
2022-12-28
I knew I would become addicted the second I tried it on snapchat.
So on the early hours of December 28th 2020 my friend and I decided to play some Snapchat games. There were loads to chose from, my friend wanted to play a farm game which we both gave up on and when I chose this game I knew I would love it. I have played it for 2 hours straight trying to level up & I am glad that when it shuts down on snap I can transfer my data to this app so I can continue my journey.
This game is very detailed and I love the style! 💖
2022-12-14
Amazing Game.
This game is amazing (I did delete it before because I was too bored but now it’s really fun.) The game is so cute and so far I’m addicted to it.
First I’ll give you the good things: it’s so cute and addicting. If you have at least a bit of patience the game just seems so much easier also if you like chibi simulators or job games this is for you!
Now the bad things: There’s a lot of ads but at the end of this I’ll give solutions, grinding can get hard later on in the game and prices increase a lot. There are other things that people complain about but those don’t bother me!
Solutions: for the ads you can avoid them all, though it does take some more work it’s not that tiring, and about prices increasing a lot. The only thing to solve this is to just get a bit more patience and work on it bit by bit!
Overall: Even though there are a few problems I give this game a 5 star! I honestly recommend this game to anyone who likes simulators (I can’t lie, the customers are adorable.) If you’re seeing this I hope you have a good day also if you got this far I will give you a medal.
Have a good day!

Animal Restaurant Review
Right so this game to me is recommended 100%/You can hire staff and they help so much and they sweep clean and promote they are really handy and they wait and serve/You can make new recipes and they look so delicious and scrumptious/You can get new places unlock them and the garden takeout store and more will open for you and it helps a lot/One problem/So I play this game on Snapchat and I am really good at it but when I get the app it resets so I would like them to add a password so anytime you play your on the same account so I hope you can fix it also this game is really good 100%
2022-10-19
An unfortunate show
I use to enjoy this game a lot on Snapchat, recently moved it over to the actual app as I heard about the migration. I think the game is a nice concept but it’s very slow and arduous after a while.
If I’m entirely honest the game lacks the fun provided by Snapchat’s ad service. Previously I use to enjoy playing the game, watching an occasional 5 second ad (usually for a product I like) and then getting the tiny reward. The game now has prioritised minute long ads which frankly aren’t worth the reward the game offers. Things which I use to have easy access too, such as the fishing game and the bottle game, no longer give me the playability I had in the game previously.
The game also has ads in the most stupid of places, frankly I do not wish to see a small border ad every time I open a menu. It would be nice if they reflected their old model, as opposed to punishing us with their new more boring model.
Would be nice if instead of trying to capitalise off people they would just give us a fun and playable game.

Greedy August paywall
I loved this game with all my heart. Played for over 2 years. Now the developers have added a new event where you have to pay $13 for new facilities and customers.
The appeal of Animal Restaurant was that you could work hard and achieve everything you wanted. You could pay for diamonds to advance faster if you wanted, but it was never required. If you played every day and loved your restaurant, you would go far.
This new update has ruined that. Shame on the developers, you’ve torn apart a wonderful community that loved your game for so many years. And the worst part is that only global players have to pay, the new content is free to Chinese players. Animal Restaurant only cares about their in-land fans.
2022-08-06
Animal Restaurant
This cute Japanese style game is awesome and really addicting, would definitely recommend- what happens is that you earn money (cod) to buy recipes, facilities, and staff to improve your restaurant. You can also unlock the Courtyard, Takeout, Fish Pond and Buffet, and all the ads you can watch are optional and help you progress through the game. The characters are all so cute and the game is great- people are complaining that it crashes but that only happens if you don’t have good internet or your device is old. Really like the game, recommended 100%
Edit: The only problem I have with this game is that when you watch ads sometimes it won’t let you press the ‘x’ button to get off them. Once I was trying to click off an advert to receive a reward, and it wouldn’t let me get off it! I logged on the next morning to find the ad still there and had to restart the phone, which worked, but it was still annoying, and after all that hassle I still didn’t receive my reward.

Enjoying but issues
I enjoy this game soooo much I downloaded it when we all had lockdown, and seemed fun to play and in the middle of online class but besides that I had many issues like lagging
Whenever I just like load up the game for a bit under 5 minutes it crashes, also I don’t like the amount of ads are in this game, some of them are like for special perks or something but I feel mad bc it constantly pops up and I have to watch it, even though u get money from it I would rather pay my way out of seeing 967 ads in one day while playing this game. Also I have been thinking u should lower the prices for like decor or everything else bc when u get enough stars it gets more expensive and I don’t like working soo hard for just one table which was 500k-
Bc after that the second table costs like 600k then having to work a lot for it again annoys the hell out of me.
But overall the game is very cute and entertaining when ur bored and has cute decor and many cool characters but in order to get it u need to reach like a high level of stars but I’m fine with that. It’s very fun to play tbh.
But I hope you can fix the issues I have said bc I saw another review like mine and just related so much to it. So please take ur time to fix the problems and yeah.
Bye!

This game is perfect :D
I've been playing this game for a couple of years on and off and it's just the most perfect thing ever! The characters are all adorable, you can play the game whenever and there's nearly always things to do, the art style is lovely and everything about it just makes the perfect mobile game. If your not sure if you should get it please do I always use it, whether I'm bored and can't do anything else or if I'm just checking on it through the day! Thank you to the developers for making such an amazing game ^○^

Fishing
I love this game and have played it for a few year now but has gotten harder to catch fish. Recently have been completing a task and have to catch 8 sharks. I technically should have caught nearer 20 but they wriggle off, now ok the occasional one but now after taking what feels like forever to complete everything I’ve only needed 1 shark for 4 days and not been able to keep on on the hook. Now I know I won’t complete this as no more ads to watch and no more cod with the time that’s left to complete. I know it’s a game but it’s really annoying and getting a bit boring!

Love it! Reccomend it
This game is so fun , it doesnt charge adds at you and doesnt glitch theres nothing wrong with it ! I really recommend this its so entertaining for me its fun to try a new game as we are bored over the weekends . If you have alot of spare time i’d do this and it even gets money for you over night .But the only problem is The hedwig in gardens takes 1 day to give you a picture and writing back but sometimes it doesnt even give you a poster! It might give you stars or cod or both but it does that ethier way.

Easily the best game I’ve ever played
I don’t play phone games. I find them boring and pointless. Total waste of time.
Until I downloaded Animal Restaurant.
First captivated by the cute graphics, and gentle colour scheme advertised on the app store, I downloaded it thinking it’d be another game that on my home screen, unopened for weeks until I do a clean-up and delete everything I don’t use.
However, I opened it whilst bored waiting for my food to cook and let me tell you I have not put it down since.
I’ve found myself absolutely clegging for cod, simping for stars and begging to meet new characters. I want to upgrade every single thing in my restaurant and have the ultimate best animal restaurant out there - it is my only mission in life, then I can die happy.
This game has stolen my heart, my body, and my tapping thumbs.
Only download this if you are ready to get your socks absolutely blown off.
5 stars from me 👍

Tried it as a distraction but am now obsessed!
I was going through some stressful stuff (still am) and needed a quick distraction. This game called me right down and now I just live it, it’s really easy to just check in a few times a day, collect money from the top jar, make some improvements to the restaurant and set the game back down, no grinding necessary. And the character designs and super cute, the music too (though I do think the sound effects should be quieter or softer sound). Really love it!

This game is amazing but there’s a few annoying glitches
I absolutely love these cute animals but although the game is fun and cute, like any other game there are some glitches for example I had 3m cod which was a lot for me at the time and I decided to get a stone removed and I pressed remove stone and it took my cod and didn’t remove it other than that the game is great but I’m still beginning to understand how the takeout works if possible I would be great full if there was a more informative tutorial thank you

:D
I. *LOVE*. this. game. It is simple but fun. Cute but pleasant to play. The graphics are fabulous and the character designing is so adorable. The concept of the game is to save up and make a restaurant and for that I love that. Since you get frequent rewards on this game, it makes me feel like I'm the best at this game. Though it's litterally just so easy to get the money (cod) in this game. It's also incredibly child friendly!! Could totally recommend this to anyone. 100,000,000% recommend!! Please download and see for yourself <3

Way too many ads
The game looks super cute, animals are lovely, there’s a story in the background which is also nice and overall I liked it in the begging. But the amount of adds that you’ll be seeing is just crazy. Some of them are optional, but you anyways will need to watch those to progress further. To be honest I’d much better pay than torture my eyes with that amount of adds, unfortunately that’s not an option. There’s also a bug sometimes that freezes the game after the ad, and you need to restart the game and to watch an ad one more time to proceed. It was ridiculous as ad watching is basically all you end up doing. So I basically gave up and deleted the game, as I just can’t see any more State of Survival and Merge Mansion ads and the overall experience playing it (by which I mean watching hundreds of ads mainly) is one star.

Very addictive and fun
I love this game loads. It doesn’t have lots of ads, only if you want to watch one. It is extremely cute and is one of my favourite games of all time. Its characters and the game itself are a bit like the game “like a dino”. Cute and just so addictive. When I first looked at this game I was confused because it said “take in a stray kitten” so I got the game and wow I play this for about two hours a day. My favourite animal has to be the lop eared rabbit, they are so cute. I really hope you get this game and enjoy it because I really do. Also, once I let my best friend on this and she didn’t iff come it until I forced her to. Love this game so much.😍

Love but could adjust prices of coin amounts as star level increases
This game is amazing, it’s so fun and convenient as you can really speed things along if you have the time and feel like it especially with the promote button, but can also do activities with countdowns so you wait for them, meaning you earn as you’re away. It’s unbelievably cute, i love the easy clear animation but somehow still so detailed! My biggest thanks and high five to the animators and those who programmed this game, i’m in love!!
my only advice would be that as star levels increase, maybe either decrease the asking price for the given options for additional buys or increase the quantity of them, as when you level up the prices become bigger, so the add ins you can buy really don’t do the job and the money isn’t worth it. So the add ins only really work for the first couple thousand stars, after that i can’t really buy any more as it doesn’t make much a difference and isn’t worth it compared to the games increased income of restaurant and menu/ facility prices :((
Is there any way that this could be adjusted so that when you reach a certain star level the add on prices or quantities change so it’s more relevant to the level on and we can make the most of the game? It’s okay if this wouldn’t be possible as i can imagine it would be confusing knowing where one price cuts off and where one starts. Anyway really love the game regardless and will continue to play and can’t wait for more exciting updates and news!!! Much love, a thankful player! :)))))

So good!!
I saw this game as one of the Snapchat mini games and wished that I could have it as an app. So I decided to see if it was an app and it was!! I’ve been playing this game for a few weeks now and I love it so much. It’s really good and pretty calming as well as satisfying. There are lots of goals to complete and even when not on the app you can get workers to keep your cafe running while you’re away :) annoyingly nobody adds friends so you can’t get extra bonuses except for the one friend you’re given during the courtyard tutorial. It’s so good and I highly recommend it! You can spend extra money on it but you don’t have to at all :))

389 days and counting
I read a review of this game over a year ago that said “you will get attached to these characters”. I’ve played a lot of games and this is the only one that I’ve honestly loved and returned to for 389 days as I’m writing this.
The English is a touch janky, but for me that just adds to the character and atmosphere of the game. The art style is beautiful and lighthearted, I look forward to every evening when I get to check in.
The only problem I’m having is getting specific letters to unlock certain furniture, but it’s probably user error if I’m honest.
If you’ve read this review and are thinking of trying the game, please give it a chance.

Adorable
I got this game thinking it would be another add filled game that was terrible to play but I was pleasantly surprised! This game is amazing, easy to understand and in my opinion has the right amount of work, buying things costs enough cod that you actually have to play the game well to upgrade your restaurant.
The characters are all adorable and with so many upgrades to unlock I can’t see a reason why I would be quitting on this game any time soon, if I could rate any more stars for this game I would!
2021-03-02
So cute!!🥺🥺
Dear reader, this app is the best mobile game I have ever played!! It doesn’t require wifi, the animals are so cute and the music is really calming! Some of my favourite characters are, rich kid who gives you extra cod, the robber who steals any cod left out but his outfit is so cute, and the server a siamese cat who holds little dishes and serves customers. I ten out of ten recommend this app for anyone I have shared it thousands of times with my friends and family!!! It’s a great app for children especially during lockdown or even on road trips, thank you for reading this!! 🥺🥺❤️

Great fun!
I really enjoy this game. The whole idea is that you are a restaurant owner and you make decisions to expand it and increase its income (which comes is cod). You buy furniture for your restaurant and hire staff, teach them new recipes so that they can prepare all kinds of food. Then you upgrade the decor and gradually give rises to your staff so that they do things quicker. Playing the game is like running a small business and that is what I like about it. Gradually you unlock new extensions to your restaurant: a garden where you can grow flowers, a takeaway, self-service buffet and a pond where you can catch fish. On the whole very enjoyable and entertaining. I wish there was an adverts-free version.
2020-08-29
So therapeutic and brilliant detail!
I downloaded the game because I had very few games on my phone and I saw the advert for the game a while ago and finally got round to downloading it.
The game has a simple function, but manages to add humour and an individual personality to each character, both staff and the customers. Which is also why I enjoy the game!
The game is very self-aware too, showing care for you, because I did a 1 hour marathon of the game- purely being addicted to it and I got a little notification to remind me I’ve been on the game for over an hour and suggested I took a break.
Of course I didn’t accept, I continued playing, but I did appreciate that haha.
I highly suggest that you download Animal Restaurant because it is a very simple, therapeutic game with an easy function, run your restaurant and improve it!
(Did I mention the art and animation is brilliantly done and it brings a kind and polished atmosphere to the game? Well done in that department!)

Great game, but a couple of issues
This is a really awesome game, I love that it’s a money-making game but there’s a lot of different things you can spend it on rather than just one or two things, a common problem with games like these that this game avoided. It’s fun to play and I like the characters, but my main issue is that it doesn’t seem to work without a connection to WiFi. Personally I don’t see why it doesn’t work without wifi, except for ads but most games just say ‘ah we can show an ad right now because you’re not connected! Try again later’ or something like that but you can still play the game without WiFi. My other issue is it uses up my battery pretty fast compared to other apps, but that may be my old phone. Still earns 4 stars because the game itself is great! I recommend it unless you’re looking for a game that can be played without WiFi connection haha

Ads don’t close even on restart
Great game but found a multiple amounts don’t let you close them, even after restarting my phone when I promote to get customers the same ad for Solitaire comes up and doesn’t let you click out of it - no matter how many times you click the ‘X’ button, the whole screen doesn’t want to interact with the ad, apart from the privacy policy. This has been incredibly irritating as I can’t play the game since this ad comes up whenever I chose to either promote, double the tip rewards or refresh items for takeaways. Restarting my phone didn’t help as the moment I open the game the solitaire screen is still there and I can’t exit it, but can hear AR music in the background.

Amazing Adorable Animals
This is an amazing game, the graphics are great, the animals are positively adorable and it's really fun. It is an addicting game, and also really simple, it isn't too hard to get the hang of or play. It really helps me to relax after doing work, but all I would say is could you perhaps change it so that you can share it by WhatsApp and other apps as well as Facebook or Line because I have neither of those, but WhatsApp would be easier for lots of other people as well? But other than that, I love this game, like many other people. It isn't even disrupted by lots of ads, you can get a choice to watch them or not to get rewards. Overall, amazing.
2020-05-26
Love it so much!
Right so ignore all the reviews that say
“It freezes every ten minutes” and “good game.....but” because this is probably one of my top three favourite games ever along with minecraft and the spider man on the game cube! I love this game it’s adorable I started yesterday and I’m HOOKED!!!!!
Basically you get a little restaurant and only a couple Customers come so what do you do you do for a promotion and get more customers and then you ask is you give them food and then and then I’ll drop her cod (money) and you can buy more tables and make your tester on the bigger and make sure to add a tip jar they are life savers.😁😌
Don’t download this game tomorrow or if your a time traveler yesterday don’t download it the day after tomorrow but now download it today you won’t regret it.

Cute but boring after a while
I loved this game in the beginning it was so fun upgrading the restaurant and having new characters visit but after a while it’s left me a little bored! It’s almost impossible to earn money at the stage I’m at to upgrade items because things get so expensive and the promote button needs to be pressed too many times to have one character enter the store this needs to be updated for sure. I think I may delete the app because it’s just not a long term game I’d recommend. I also want to add that the option to use surveys etc to get extra cod and plates are fake. I’ve completed so many of these ridiculous surveys the game promotes claiming to earn you rewards in return and it’s complete spam! Such a waste of time I can’t understand the point of it:(
2020-05-14
Its a good game but...
It really is a good game and I looked at the reviews before downloading (it’s also SUPER addicting) but I have a question what does the waiter cat do!?!?! I’ve been playing for a bit and I spent my cod (currency) on this cat for no reason! I just would like to know what it does I also have a phew suggestions the waiter cat could maybe take the animals orders and I don’t know how but when (fixed) I was watching an ad a skunk started farting and it’s nonstop so my customers are leaving I’m confused on how to fix this I already left the game and came back I also tried other things I really don’t want to delete the game and install it again I also have another suggestion why are things so expensive in the game I can barley reach 10,000 so how am I supposed to reach idk like 20,1346 But I still adore the game and I love all the little animals you meet
2020-05-01
Everything was perfect until the last update
I really wish that I didn’t download the last update. All of the people that I have speak with (that play this game for months and months now) about it are pretty much disappointed as well. The fact that they took out the free plates and cod everyday and replaced them with the new system of tasks (that most part of them is to download another game or answer a quizz with 100% right) really doesn’t work for most part of people. Also the flowers and fish currency makes it very hard for people who have lv.4. About the time that we need to wait now between ads to promote our restaurant or for the wishing well isn’t good as well.
It’s sad seeing a game that was so interesting and different becoming just another one.
2020-05-01
Great game...but
My sister originally showed me this game, and once I downloaded it I was hooked. I’m on about 4500 stars? I used to find it really fun, but since the new update, my game freezes every ten minutes or so? The only way I can fix it is double clicking my home button and swiping up, which means that I usually end up losing cod, bells and customers. There isn’t any sort of pattern to when it happens, it just started after the new update, although I’m not sure if that’s the cause. I should be able to run the game fine, I have 17GB storage left and my iPad isn’t that old- it’s usually quite good at running games like this.
Just thought I could share that, in case there’s anything you could do?
Other than this, I totally recommend :)
2020-04-27
Oh. My. God.
...
This is a game where you serve cute tiny little charming animals drawn in a nice simplistic cartoon style the food they want. I- is that not amazing? And the currency is COD! OH MY GOD IT’S AMAZING!
So... let me explain the game. You, a lost stray cat, are found by a CAT CHEF. So far, so good. The lovely and excessively simple cartoon style shown in the game makes it ten times better - it’s really cute. He lets you work at his brand new (by brand new, I mean no furniture of any sort) restaurant (let me say, what I’ve said so far is a slide show-esque cutscene). And with that, the game begins...
Gumi, the chef, gives you a tutorial of what to do. Then, you’re left to customise the restaurant and cook. So, now. Gameplay. The core feature is customising, but you also have another core feature - clicking. You tap a button to send out flyers to get people to come to your restaurant. So, when customers choose the table they’ll eat at, a button will pop up on top of them. Tap it to cook their food, which will automatically be served to them. If the food they request isn’t on the menu, they’ll leave. You can change that, though, by learning new recipes. The CUTE WITTLE ANIMALS
...
Sorry. As I was saying, they definitely help with keeping you serving them.
The only problem I have is that if you repeatedly get customers to come in, the screen will fill up with the “Welcome to Gumi’s Restaurant!” message and it gets rather annoying. That’s all I really want fixed, either by removing the message entirely or by only letting one of the message pop up at a time.
Anyways, I hope this game has a bright future and I know I will be playing it for a while! :D

I LOVE THIS GAME
I absolutely adore this game! It is crazily addictive and so easy to play. It’s really relaxing because it’s such a cute lil game with lots of additions, like characters and facilities. It’s also dead easy to understand quickly as the walkthrough is easily followed but not too long. I can’t rate it highly enough. Most games nowadays are just money holes- Animal Restaurant is different because, while it offers in app purchases, it’s easy to progress through the game without spending a penny! Also, instead of random ads popping up, adverts really benefit you and the app ALWAYS gives you the option to watch or not, it’s not forced.
2020-02-07
Best game i’ve ever downloaded
I download quite a lot of games that capture my attention for a few days and I seem to get bored of them. This is the first game I feel genuinely excited to play. The cartoon style and little animations are very sweet and aren’t too garish which I can sometimes find off putting. The game is good and can be played over a lengthy amount of time due to the numerous things that can be unlocked such as recipes, restaurant decorations and staff. You can then go on to purchase a buffet and garden (you require a certain rating to unlock them to be bought which has to be built up over time). Thank you for making this very sweet and light hearted game!
2020-01-05
You’ll get attached to these cute cats!
This game is really simple - tap on customer orders to send them to the kitchen and then pick up the cod (money) they leave behind as payment. You can use your cod to purchase cute furniture and increase your restaurant star rating, hire staff and give them raises, unlock new recipes and purchase new rooms like a buffet, garden and a fishing pond. There’s so much content to discover and it’s fed to you in a really gradual way so it’s not overwhelming like most mobile games. I’ve been so addicted that I’ve logged in to check on my restaurant every day for the past 3 weeks! Along the way you’ll meet new customers and unlock cute and interesting short stories and conversations between them and your staff. I’ve become quite attached to my staff too, they all have unique personalities and when one of them went missing as part of a story event I really missed them! I recommend checking out this cute game, it’s so charming!

Love this game but rn im quite mad
I spent quite a while playing this game. Got near 200 stars was definitely more than 160 stars. Had a window, curtains, carpet, 3 staff, bin, new stoves, new tip stand, unlocked the sheep and badgers, and much more. I went off for a few minutes and all of my progress is lost. Im back to 100 stars and a very empty restaurant (barely any facilities left) i went to check the cloud and it said last saved around an hour ago with 130 stars. I thought well atleast its more recent than right now so i click to download that save but it just doesn’t give me that one and im stuck with the 100 stars saved. Im really sad about this.
