Take on the role of the hard-working old lady struggling to\nmanage her family's little restaurant—and all by her lonesome, too!\n\nCook tasty meals for a variety of colorful characters, and learn more\nabout their triumphs and struggles as they chow down on your tasty,\nhome-cooked food. Rice balls, dumplings, tempura...you can make it all!\nIn fact, the more you cook, the more dishes you'll unlock.\nAnd hey, you'll even get a chance to learn about good ol' fashioned\nJapanese cuisine while you're at it! Did you know you can make\njelly out of seaweed? Because I didn't!\n\nOf course, the people who visit your diner all have a story to tell.\nAnd what makes people more talkative than a full belly?\nFeed your customers until they feel like sitting back and spinning\nyou a yarn or two!\n\nBut not every story is a happy one, and not every ending\njoyous. Stay tuned for some twists and turns!\n\nStory\n ------------------------------------------\nOn a tiny side street in a nameless little neighborhood sits an\nold Japanese diner. Things are quiet here; old-fashioned\nyou might say. But of course they are. It's Showa era Japan,\nand the television is just starting to come into vogue.\n\nSlide open the screen door and you'll see a kindly old lady\nhard at work behind the counter. Her husband's been sick\nfor a while, and she's had to run the place on her own.\nIt's hard work, but she's a tough one, and she gets by.\n\nSit down at one of the worn wooden tables, and close your\neyes. Thunk thunk goes the steady beat of a knife chopping\nveggies. Hisss; the sound of meat sizzling in a pan.\nSwish swish; a whisk beating eggs.\nThe soothing sounds of a simple kitchen.\n\nSit here long enough, and all that tension will just flow\nright out of you. So come on in, order a hot meal, and take\na load off. The peace'll do you good.\n\nSo, let me guess. The question you're asking yourself right now\nis \"is this game for me\"? Well, maybe it is.\n -Do you like casual/idle games?\n -Do you like games where you run a shop?\n -Are you looking for a nice, relaxing story?\n -Ever played any of our other games, like Oden Cart or Showa Candy Shop? (If so, thanks a bunch!)\n -Are you hungry?*\n*Warning: This game is not edible. Please don't try to eat your phone.\n\nIf you answered \"Yes!!!!\" to any of the above, well,\nmaybe this game's for you. Give it a download and a shot.\nIt's free, so it won't cost you a dime!\nWe very much hope it brings you a smile! Or perhaps even some tears?","facts":{"developer_id":905173598,"developer_url":"http://www.gagex.co.jp","first_released":"2017-11-17T06:44:14Z","support_url":null,"privacy_url":null,"website_url":null,"app_version":"1.5.3","release_notes":"Fixed some bugs.","rating_current_version":4.91628,"rating_count_current_version":4754,"star_counts":null,"genres":["Games","Entertainment","Simulation","Adventure"],"languages":["EN","JA","KO","ZH","ZH"],"content_advisories":["Infrequent/Mild Alcohol, Tobacco, or Drug Use or References"],"device_families":null,"chart":null},"freshness":{"apple_read_at":"2026-10-17T06:13:13.398Z","catalog_read_at":null,"reviews_checked_at":null,"summary_written_at":null,"placed_at":"2026-10-18T03:33:11.695Z","scored_at":"2026-10-21T19:19:12.948Z"},"editorial":null,"memberships":[{"list":"restaurant-simulation","list_name":"restaurant simulation","list_status":"active","list_url":"https://apptierlist.com/best/restaurant-simulation/","position":51,"tier":null,"score":68.8,"components":{"rating":98.3,"votes":76.8,"rank":0,"recency":100},"status":"active","review_status":"checked","list_ranking_status":"ranked","confidence":"provisional","judged_at":"2026-10-18T03:33:11.695Z"},{"list":"cooking-games","list_name":"cooking games","list_status":"active","list_url":"https://apptierlist.com/best/cooking-games/","position":89,"tier":null,"score":68.8,"components":{"rating":98.3,"votes":76.8,"rank":0,"recency":100},"status":"active","review_status":"checked","list_ranking_status":"ranked","confidence":"provisional","judged_at":"2026-10-18T03:33:11.695Z"}],"main_list":"restaurant-simulation","claim":{"status":"none","verified":false,"site_url":null,"verified_via":null,"verified_domain":null},"history":[{"id":151934,"at":"2026-10-18T03:33:11.695Z","kind":"membership_added","list":"restaurant-simulation","app_store_id":1255042213,"app":"hungry-hearts-diner-1255042213","from":null,"to":"active","reason":"The player runs a family diner alone, serving customers behind the counter, though the story is the main draw.","job":"shadow"},{"id":151933,"at":"2026-10-18T03:33:11.695Z","kind":"membership_added","list":"cooking-games","app_store_id":1255042213,"app":"hungry-hearts-diner-1255042213","from":null,"to":"active","reason":"The player cooks Japanese dishes like rice balls, dumplings and tempura and serves them to customers, unlocking more recipes as they cook.","job":"shadow"},{"id":143117,"at":"2026-10-17T06:13:13.398Z","kind":"app_added","list":null,"app_store_id":1255042213,"app":"hungry-hearts-diner-1255042213","from":null,"to":null,"reason":"discovered","job":"import"}],"explain":{"method":"Membership is decided by a model judging the App Store listing against the list's definition (and its excludes, for memberships placed or rechecked since they were added to the prompt); every verdict is listed with its date; the score is a plain average of the public components an app has (four, plus Apple's Editors' Choice badge as 100 where shown); nothing is purchasable.","lists":[{"list":"restaurant-simulation","list_name":"restaurant simulation","status":"active","review_status":"checked","position":51,"tier":null,"score":68.8,"components":{"rating":98.3,"votes":76.8,"rank":0,"recency":100},"ranks":[],"verdicts":[{"verdict":"keep","reason":"The player runs a family diner alone, serving customers behind the counter, though the story is the main draw.","verifier":"claude-sonnet-5-5","decided_at":"2026-10-18T03:33:11.695Z","attempts":1,"current":true},{"verdict":"keep","reason":"You run a small family diner, cooking for and serving customers.
