Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
The game is fun and Id like to play more but there are many in game pop ups for ads that distract from the gameplay. You can pay to remove the ads. This takes away from the enjoyment of the game and makes us feel less inclined to play.
Vietnamese want to play this game so much.
We bought the $12 package that allows you to opt out of ads and as soon as we did it they got rid of ALL of the opportunities to get extra items and currency with it. They made it look like we just wouldnt have to watch the videos anymore to get the bonuses, but now we dont get any bonuses period.
Hi team, we dont know why VN dont processing this game.
We started playing our Hot Pot Story, thinking it would be just another game on our phone, but it was so fun and relaxing! Now, we play everyday whenever we can to release stress and our tiredness.
Ive had this game for a long while now. We had to completely restart the game one time because it glitched out so bad it erased everything on our file. We never recovered any of it and had almost all the purchased employees. We restarted the game and have progressed to where we have all the employees and extra employees leveled up. The next level is the takeout on gold 3, which in very close to obtaining. We have around 124 service rating and under 1850 food rating left to get there. Our problem is that when we play the courtyard game, it closes out and erases any progress we made while taking our hot pot tickets that we never get back. Is there a fix in sight or whats going on? Will we get our tickets back?? We rather enjoy the game but its happened dozens of times now. Please help.
We love this game so much like its so detailed and relaxing. We love to play it on our free time.
Cutest and most entertaining game ever.
The app had network problems a few days ago and took some players games form them the team handled the problem fast and efficiently and gave in game compensation to those who were afectes.
Spent so much time building our hot pot and they shut our account down for no reason. They said we were illegally obtaining resources. How.
So we started playing this game like 2 years ago and now it is our addiction rn still, but the hot pot master udate is pretty annoying.. But there is very few ads.
Love the game, its honestly so fun and entertaining. Its definitely the game you play when you want to pass time. However we lost all our data and it doesnt let us log in to get our saved data. It doesnt give us to log in through our email anymore. So now we have to restart even though we were silver 2.
The game was pretty fun the first few days, after that we found it pretty repetitive. It requires too much energy to get broths, the training books to boost your employees takes forever and for some reason our phone would overheat playing this.

We love this game so much and Ive been playing it for three years however Ive reached a point in the game where we have maxed out everything! We are stuck at Gold level two with no way to advance. We dont want to stop playing the game, but theres nothing to strive for anymore, there are no new dishes and no new employees. We cant even get new furniture till we get to Gold level three which we cant do without spending real money. We would recommend this game to anyone, but you can only play it for so long.
Downloaded this because of jackmanifold.
Slow take off but a very good game.
This game want open we been playing game for ova two years n it has not updated now it want open please help.
2025 update: Ive redownloaded this game on our phone cause we missed it sm. Glad to see the new events and fixes added to the game. Very glad we are playing this again. We are playing this game daily. Still find it tough to accumulate training books and leveling up staff. We are determined to reach to the level where we can complete To-Go orders.
Aaaa we love this game so much.
We love this game so much but please let us find a way to level up bc the books arent working and ive been stuck in the same level for a year.
This game was cute and fun until it has taken us over a year and Im still no on gold 3. We play every single day and Im making barely any progress towards gold 3. They want you to spend money to move to the next level, unfortunately we will not be doing that. Its time to delete this game and find something more fair to the players. We hope the developers of this game consider making it more fair for future players.
Im losing gems and im not using them, we had 290 and it kept going down every time we opened the app and im starting off with 130 each time we open it. Yesterday we were at 220 and today im at 130. We dont know why its doing this but its annoying.
Since this most recent update, when you buy flavor broths from the Item store it takes your payment but doesnt show up in your inventory/develop area :(.
This game is just cute and detailed. We absolutely love it we need more games like this.
1/29/25 This mini game worked for about a day, then there was another update and spiritual snake wasnt playable anymore. It takes us to the game screen AND uses up a ticket , but the snake does not appear, controls do nothing, and the timer doesnt count down.
Error in Chinese new year update for nian snake game. Doesnt start.
The snake game is glitched and keep taking our ticket! Its frozen and timer wont start but when we kill the app our ticket for the game is lost. Please fix this. The new update just made it worse.
Our Hot Pot Story was one of the best games we have ever played. We liked it so much that we have been a player for TWO YEARS. We kid you not we have played this game everyday to collect our diamond and make new dishes. It took us TWO YEARS to get to Gold 1. TWO. YEARS. Recently we decided to update the app AND we LOST ALL MY PROGRESS. We are absolutely devastated. We wish to have our progress back we had about 3 mil and was at Gold 1. We were so happy that after so long we were able to achieve our goal and here we are typing about how we were so wrongfully ripped away from our prize. The prize we worked hard for a deserved. We really want our progress back and we wish and pray and hope that we do get it back some day. Over all this is a good game and you should get it just be warned for how long it will take you to reach a certain level.
Im here to sadly inform although a very addicting game, it is nearly impossible (nothings impossible we fear) to get past level gold 2 without spending money. We refuse to spend $$ on games. Ive been logging in almost 5-6 days a week for 1 1/2 year plus and Ive only just completed facility and food rating. Sadly Im missing 611 points to complete our service rating and thats with all our staff completely maxed out. Waste your time or spend money babes we guess this is the motto of the game.
We used to play a lot, but we just updated, and now the game will not start without a two-factor verification! Could one of the developers please fix it so the game will actually start and load up all the way.

We love this game and can tell it is well made and cared for by its developers. The only downside about the game is that many optional gameplay activities require watching ads, which we dont mind doing since it supports the development of the game. But when the ads automatically open the App Store without any taps or feedback, it violates Apples advertising policy (prohibited content 3.9 inappropriate business practices – ad content inappropriately incentivizes downloads or the manipulation, filtering or faking of reviews, feedback, taps, or downloads.) seeing this violation of policy makes us not want to spend our money on this game and we feel hesitant to continue playing at all. Hopefully Hotpot story can replace these harmful ads with different ones that dont violate Apple Advertising Policies. (we tried to report this issue in the App Store but for this game it said reporting not available hence this review).
This game is fun and entertaining. We use to spend most of our free time playing it. The one thing we dont like it that it requires a lot of training books to upgrade your workers but barely increases your service rating. We have been stuck at the same level for a while because we have to slowly collect training books. Everything else is absolutely amazing though.
Ive literally never written a review on the app store before but yall NEED to find a way to make it easier to level up in this game! Like we know the reason its so hard is bc you rlly want us to spend real money in this game but pls realize most of us arent actually gonna do that so its just rlly frustrating when u get stuck on a level for literal MONTHS bc you dont have enough service points or what have u. Either come up with more game play to let us earn more cash/diamonds/books/etc in a bigger scale, or lower the points required to have to level up. We finally jumped from silver 3 to gold 1 after like a year but now im tryna get to gold 3 and its so disheartening to see how facility, service, and food rating point requirements have all basically doubled and ive read online that a lot of people just end up abandoning the game bc of it, and lowkey, we might too bc we think thats actually insane. The game is fun but when the progress is so incremental its hard to keep interest.
Could you please convert this game screen to full size? Thats the only reason we deleted it was because it was a tiny 4×4 inch game screen. Like really? Please convert the game screen to full size. Im waiting to play it again.
Ugh our favorite game is the arcade but they took it out. Please bring it back. Also if you guys can make more dish, soup, seasoning. Because its really hard to level up when you almost have everything.
In the beginning we actually liked this game but now that Im stuck on Gold 2 level 2 Im starting to dislike it. Im unable to get to the other level to fully enjoy and compete this game. Not to mention there are times when those customers come in asking for a key theres no hint where to find it. Not going to lie we did spend a ton of money on this game so we would like to complete it with all the effort and time we put into it. Hopefully they can fix it or let know how we can complete the level of the game. Thats all.
Amazing details everything is just outstandingly smooth Ive been playing it for only a few days and Im already loving it you have so much to choose from you can even creat youre own dishes whoever made this game is a real legend..its as if we were running our own restaurant in real life 10/10 for us.
When we first started it was really fun even after a month it is still fun when there is adds its when you need extra money (Pls subscribe to austinx321).
On and off Ive been playing for years but this past year we have gotten really invested in it. We have reached the point before the buffet and its really upsetting the amount of service rating required. We havent bought a package and we refuse to, but we do watch ads and get additional things though that. None the less, its to the point where its 40 books a person and that doesnt even get you to the required level to advance. The next star is 60 books a person. We would require a handful of people to be at 5 stars to advance which seems wildly unobtainable within reason. Ive been on silver 3 for a really REALLY long time.
You cant win without watching a million ads orpaying. It is only fun if you spend money but they amount you have to spend vs the value is not worth it.
We were so excited to play this game and when we downloaded it we enjoyed it so much. All the side games. The constant leveling up. We were checking our hotpot minimum twice a day to make sure business was running smoothly. Now we dont open it for weeks on end. Theres no more side games. And if there is it isnt what we need. We have been stuck on level: Gold 2 for probably 3 months now. And its all because we dont have enough of their own specialty coin that you cant earn any other way besides doing the Opening Feast. And you dont even get them 90% of the time. The only reason we dont delete it is because we dont want to lose all the progress we actually made.
We love this game! There is always something to do and not everything requires purchases! Its super cute and great for a relaxing game for down time or before bed.
Thank you for adding the neon stuffs.
Its a fun game. Wish we wasnt stuck on Gold level 2 we need more staff. HELP.
This game is really entertaining, you can create anything you want but you also have to work for it just like how the real life! Love this game.
Game is entertaining, money gain feels too slow and its got quite a few transactions, nothing that makes it pay to win though, just boosts and the like.
We like this app but the dice game is so long to wait for. We wish there was a skip button.
