Sushi Bar Idle Reviews

by Treckly

There are a couple problems I have with this game, most notably the obscene amount of ads that you’re forced to play in order to progress. Ads that are played every once in a while, or to get a boost, etc are fine with me in mobile games, since revenue must be generated somehow. But in this game, you have to watch a 30 second ad every single time you want to prestige your chef, which you must do in order to make a lot more money. If you try to bypass the ads in airplane mode, you simply cannot prestige your chefs unless you spend money on cash, which means you can’t really progress much without an internet connection. You also have about a 1/3 chance in getting an ad when you level up. The other large issue with the game is that once you’re able to get the next table, the previous table becomes completely irrelevant. You go from making 500 on your best roll to 80k on your worst roll. These two aspects made the game extremely pointless and tedious for me.

Great game. The overall functionality of it is OK. It’s pretty fast and the pacing is OK as well. The ads you get in the game aren’t too irrational for being a free game. Some are decided upon with power ups and to get the x2 boost.
My main issue that seems to not be fixed, despite several reviews complaining about it, is progress disappearing. My personal issue regarding it is that I leveled up to 80 in a night, which took a few hours of my time to get to.
When I went back on SushiBarIdle , progressing to any level was not apparent, and it was almost like it was stuck at level 80. I also lost a bit of my chefs and progress into the game, like most people. I played for like another hour, and I didn’t get any progress on the white bar that’s supposed to fill with green to get to the next level. This makes the game practically impossible to progress and to play. So I deleted it, reinstalled it and lost all progress. This is a pretty big game altering bug that is existent. I wish I could get my game progress back, but I don’t see where any developers have given back player’s lost progress. Just be warned if this happens to you.
I really enjoy the gameplay, as it is a great time waster and is genuinely enjoyable when it works. I just wish the developers would do something about this specific game-breaking bug, because it’s essentially disheartening when it happens, and leads many people, I’m sure, to delete SushiBarIdle .

(Sorry for such a long review!)
I’ve had this game for a while, and gameplay wise it’s not that bad. Having to wait to level up in order to earn more cooks is definitely annoying, and it’s also annoying that offline play never earns me as much money or exp as when SushiBarIdle is open. I just get around this problem by leaving SushiBarIdle running when I sleep at night, but leveling up is still annoying when you have to click in order to level up, and it won’t just do it for you. My biggest issue though, is the many glitches I get. Most of the time they’re not too bad, it’ll just reset a chef or two, but this latest one was horrible - it reset my entire game. Not completely, for some reason it didn’t touch the speed and the seating, but reset literally everything else. I still had my money and levels thankfully so I was able to get back to where I was, but that kind of thing should never happen in a game in my opinion. If you get this game, just be ready for anything, cause you’ll never know what’s going to be there when you open SushiBarIdle .

Finished the game in a week. The tenth table is maxed out at ~250lvl. The ads are extremely fair, the graphics are nice and the gameplay works as it was designed. That’s all the praise I have to give because it’s deeply flawed.

When completed you want more. Strangely enough, that “more” is not extra tables. Previous tables become meaningless as one sushi at the tenth level costs a nonillion currency(10^30) while two tables down its a septillion currency(10^24) which is comparatively a drop in the bucket. Why bother having ten different tables when they become immediately useless? Could have just saved time programming by having only the starter table to continuously upgrade. When a new update comes out I pray it’s not more tables but instead a prestige system. Force players to prestige previous tables to get enough total output to upgrade instead of relying on just one table. Don’t give them such linear progression that takes the fun out of the game. All this game is right now is a good week long distraction that ends as a lesson on inflation. If that’s the point, the tenth table should have been located in Zimbabwe.

I understand that this is a free game. Ads are not unexpected, but they become annoying at a certain point.

Whenever anything happens in this game, it offers you an ad. The sumo shows up and a big sign pops up on the screen, encouraging you to tap on it. You tap on it, only to be told to watch an ad. Even if you click on the ad, you have to sit though the whole experience. An “X” will pop up, but if you close it too soon, you don’t get the reward. Every single time something pops up, you must watch an ad to activate it. The sumo, the golden sushi, the gifts the sushi chef leaves on the table. Whenever you get a reward for leveling up, it tells you to watch an ad to get more money. I like the idea of optional ads, but they don’t become optional when you have to watch ads to do anything. And it plays ads anyway when you level up!

Outside of that, the concept of the game is fine enough. It’s one of those endless clicker style games, except with sushi. I enjoy the gameplay, but the constant nagging about watching advertisements gets on my nerves.

The game is an amazing game with surprisingly fun ‘ways’ to play it. It is entertaining and I like being able not not only improve the chefs but also the conveyor belt, number of seats, etc. The reason for one star off is the amount of ads. It is a crazy amount, I’d say probably one every minute or minute and a half. Simple, I’ll just turn off WiFi on my phone and turn off cellular data for that certain app. But, the issue for that is you need to watch ads to progress in the game. In order to improve your chefs, you must watch 3 different ads at different leva the chef is currently on. I think this is bogus because of the amount of regular ads already in the game. That just makes me annoyed that I have to watch ads just to get better in this game. To 100% get rid of ads, you have to buy VIP, which costs a whopping $7.99 A WEEK. By the money off the ads and this, they could probably buy Robert Downey Jr.’s mansion and give it to a homeless person.

Ive maxed out every: table, chef, and upgrade (number of people at the table, money per meal and speed). I thought it would have ended at lvl 150 (since that was close to me leveling up my last upgrade), but the game kept going like normal. I’m now at level 151 with nothing else to do. I double checked every table to see if I missed something, but everything is fully maxed out. I slid my finger down to see if the screen would move up to reveal another table (possible secret table for maxing out every table), but there weren’t any. I slid my finger to each side and there isn’t anything there either. I’ve exhausted all options. There is nothing left to do, and I don’t want to waste my time playing anymore if there is nothing left to upgrade. This is a good time waster, I suppose, but I found it weird that there isn’t an end to this game. How is there not an end to this game? I’ll keep it on my phone I guess in case someone can find an end (so I don’t have to redo all that work), but I’m done playing for now.

This is a fun game I enjoy eating sushi and it has a simple design that’s easy to understand. However it does have a few flaws:
It’s a typical ad vs. cash grab game. If you want to remove all the adds you have to pay, want a boost permanent have to pay. $7.99 is da WEEK is a bit much. For a month, I might consider it but certainly not on a weekly basis. If you don’t pay it’s nothing but ads, ads, ADS,. Want a boost: watch an ad. Want to upgrade you chef, watch an ad. Want to bonus your level up cash? You guessed it: watch an ad. HOWEVER! I would MUCH rather watch ads than pay that $7.99 weekly fee.(which I might add, doesn’t remove ALL of them completely.)

I have already finished the game once and am now restarting simply for lack of anything better to do. I was hoping that once you reached the end of the levels you could, per usual, watch an ad an restart with a permanent boost as in some of the other games greenpanda has. Sadly, no such luck.

It’s a good game if you want to waste some time on a break, lunch, before bed etc. but sadly not much better than that. All in all I’d give it a 2 1/2 out of 5 stars.

It would be great if they could add a special bonus or feature for completing the game but, well have to see. After this round I’ll likely offload or delete it unless something new comes out. It’s fun, but not THAT fun.

by Lauren Loves Big Kitty

Yes, it is a good game, very fun, but they didn’t think far enough. I COMPLETELY finished the game about 6 months ago, and it’s kind of just taking up space in my phone now. They haven’t added any new places, and I don’t think they ever will, so I might even just delete the game now. There is no point in keeping it on my phone, but it was a good game while it lasted. If they can add like more worlds that you can access when you get to the point I’m at, or like Valentine’s Day of I believe 2018, add event sushi bars like that one more often for holidays, so people like me who have finished the game entirely gave something to do on the game. I’m sure I’m not the only one, but still, I would like to keep playing this good game, but all I ever see in the update log is bug fixes for bugs that I have not come across. I would like to keep playing, but I literally just can’t anymore.

I would like to say when I saw this game on a advertisement I downloaded it right away and I have been playing for about 2 hours now, even over dinner! I enjoy this game a lot and think it will go far. The ads arnt bad for a free game and if you want a boost of some sort the ads are definitely worth it, very awesome!
Although I am not far I have been looking through some of the reviews and they are not the best. I do wish that this game was a game you could save or load your progress onto other devices or if you deleted the game. I was hoping to get this game on my iPad because my storage on my phone is pretty low at the moment, but of course this game doesn’t save progress like some other games. And most games do not, but I would like to see that in the game and think a lot of people would appreciate it.

So by far this game is great and I am really enjoying it. :)

by Ari Is Dah Best

I love this game it’s so much fun but the problem is that when you finish the world it’s just boring because you know it’s done so I wish it could be a little bit more interesting but thanks for this amazing game you put your efforts on, I’m not trying to bring the game down or anything but I was just wondering if you could like reset the world but get more money from it or something but yeah thanks for this amazing game you put your time in because my brother my sister and my mom has SushiBarIdle and can not stop using so I have to unglue her eyes to get her attention but yeah this game is great hopefully I’m not putting to much pressure on you.

This games is amazing keep up the good work👍 (p.s. I wish when I was gone not playing sushi bar it would auto level me up thanks that would be amazing if you could fix that)

by Natime Natalie

SushiBarIdle is amazing even with the ads, I love the concept, especially since I love sushi sooo much! After you get your 2nd worker probably at level 7 or 8, maybe more, you get money relatively fast. I’ve only been playing for about 4 days an already at level 39 with over 5-6 billion dollars! The game is an easy, idle game. Even when you’re not playing you get money like in Adventure Capitalist. It’s a great, no internet game that you can play almost anywhere! Like your school, a bus, a car, even at your grandparents house where they have no idea what the internet password is lol! Ads are a little frequent, but the ads are fun in my opinion. They’re the ads where you try out the game, even some of the time it’s too, Get the Sumo Wrestler, Gold Sushi, or to double your level up bonus. Great app

by Kittykattcerys

This game is so fun and relaxing! It is a great game because it is always fun to see what the next sushi restaurant will be and whenever I finish everything they come out with new tables and places I can discover! ✈️ 🧳 🍣There is not many ads, and they are usually ones you can skip quickly, unless you voluntarily played the ad for a reward. At first I thought it would be super boring, but it is fun because you are always eager to go to the next level, chef, and restaurant! 😁💫🍣 I only have one TINY mistake that doesn’t matter, which is that in Rome, the Sea Brass Master has a sea brass maki picture as the first sushi and then a sea brass nigiri which you accidentally made the same picture as the sea brass maki. Very small mistake, but keep up the AMAZING work! I love this game!

by Linkgamer101

I love the game but I’ve already got all the way through it already pls add more citys. Ok the scary thing that happened to me was it was midnight and as I was playing the game I heard noises from the game and my living room it sounded like a screeching sound I went to my living room and I saw nothing then the lights turned off and no one was home... or at least I had thought soon I had some MAJOR CREEPY VIBES of this scary demonic black figure after that I had locked my self in my room I drew a picture of the dark figure and soon realized that it was a nun wait I thought again then again realized that it was THE NUN so I barricaded my door and just sat in my bed two hours later it was three am and after that time went my phone played the nun’s voice... to be continued

This game is so good. Whether it be the clean fresh visuals to the way of leveling up, this game is great. My favorite part about it is the fact that it has few ads. It mostly only has ads to double income or level up your chef (which can be achieved by spending in-game cash) or to collect things/get boosts. Now, all of those are helpful but most of them don’t need to to watch an ad to progress in the game. If I had the chance to, I would change one thing. That would be the fact that you sometimes must wait a few days to progress in this game. This is because of the high-coins cost for many upgrades and the and the levels taking very long to level to in the higher levels. These only (for me) occurred recently instead of a few weeks ago when I got the game so for newer players this is nothing to worry about for a while. Because of the other great things I am saying about this game, these few downsides do not affect my rating. I rate this 5 stars.

P.S. To the developers: More levels would be good or maybe a way to create a custom sushi stand. That would be cool. If you do reply then know that your game is great.

When I got this game, at first I was kind of bored, but I had experienced that feeling about a million times, so I just kept playing. Then I got more sushi types for the chef. And then came more and more upgrades that I gave like sushi price and amount of seats, not to mention speed. And it made me feel progressive when i would build up enough money VERY quickly, and get more seats and right in that spot there would be a little bit of confetti. The chefs (multiple per bar) actually had names and showed you what they made best. The multiple bars have real places, for instance one is Osaka. It is a great game overall and does not require WiFi.

There are also power ups like the Sumo Wrestler. He will come and eat huge amounts of sushi and the chefs make more sushi faster. And the amount of cash per plate of sushi is bigger during the effect of the power up. 👌 Very good game and would recommend for anyone at any age.

by Call Meh Craze

OMG THIS GAME IS JUST PHENOMENAL!!😆When I’m bored I grab my phone and play Sushi 🍣 Bar, then suddenly I’m not bored anymore!! I’m so happy this is actually a game! Creator you should be very proud of yourself! I love the boosts and stuff! Some people may not like how many ads there are, but I don’t care 🤷‍♀️! Who cares if you can x2 gold for like 20min! It’s awesome 👏😆👏 I like how you can have a Sumo Wrestler too!! It’s cool 😎. I also like that you don’t go off topic in the game. Like in some games you do something and then you move on to something else, but in this you stick with a sushi bar 🍣! I also like how when you finish a level of that sushi bar that is saves that and it gives you gold along with the other sushi restaurant your working on! I also like that you can play offline!! Thank you 😊 I hope you read this!
Thanks,
THIS IS AWESOME

by Julianaz0

Ok so, in general, this game is really fun seeing that I can see multiple days on one bar but since I had V.I.P meaning that ingot all the perks including the one that allows me to open up the next one early, and then I got to the last one I realized that the other ones are useless and it's also teaching me hyperinflation. Because all the others are useless and you just get more amounts and there's no reset button or anything just the end and I would like to have 5 that you can upgrade constantly or add other things to the restaurant that would make it last longer like a form of entertainment or a takeout option maybe a dine-in option where they make the sushi and they have tables to eat at. Other than that the game is fun while it lasted

by Leona Alpha Werewolf

I gave a five star review so that you will be more likely to see this, so you won’t be a victim of this developer too! Don’t download SushiBarIdle!

If you’re just gonna tldr this, then here’s the gist of what I’m saying, SushiBarIdle records audio, and video, be safe and don’t download SushiBarIdle, or other apps made by Green Panda Games.
And if you want the long version, read on.

When I was playing it I heard white noise (it’s the noise your phone makes when it’s recording, but not picking up any sound) it records everything! Even when you’re offline! I didn’t know what the static sound was until I looked it up and found out, but that’s not all it’s doing!

It’s using your camera! I was on a FaceTime call, and decided to play while I talked. But I got a bone chilling message on my screen, telling me that my camera couldn’t record for both apps, FaceTime and... Sushi Bar idle!

I encourage you not to download any apps from Green Panda Games, because after I found out SushiBarIdle was recording me, I checked the other apps from Green Panda Games... And found out that the other apps from Green Panda Games record you too!

I don’t want anything bad to happen to anyone, so please, just be safe and don’t download sushi bar idle. Don’t do it just because I advised you not to, don’t do it because you wanna prove you’re brave or something, just stay away from apps that do stuff like this.

by Lolita Caraballo

It’s an amazing game no complaints here! Well I just started but..... I already know it’s a good game well maybe cause I have not played it so much. Hmm 🤔....... OH! I forgot! the level I’m on is low. But! It’s challenging too so yeah and also there are some bugs in the game for me and if you don’t have the bugs it’s probably my phone 📱 other then that it’s REALLY fun! And I probably will write another review on SushiBarIdle but if you want my advice so far I thinks it’s awesome 👏 just if everyone has the bug thing I says to the creators of SushiBarIdle to fix it pls and don’t change the rest pls 🙏🏼 actually maybe, if you were going to change it by making it better or something pls do that and.......... :/ uhh well that’s all if you d like the emojis sorry 😐 and like I said if I find out some more things I will probably write another review other then that that’s it yeah..........bye bye hehe 👋 😸

by Pretty Perfect!

Soooo when I am looking at an app to decide if I want it or not I usually scroll down to the reviews and put in most critical because I like to see what peoples reviews have in common with others. Back to the point when I was looking at the critical reviews I noticed a lot of people noted that they’re were way to many ads so I didn’t know if I should get it or not. I know by now you’re probably saying GET TO THE POINT sooo when I decided to download SushiBarIdle I started playing it and I have no idea why people said their were ads every sec because they literally only came every 20 or 30 min(at least for me anyways) so that lead me to believe that they 1) are just wanting to hate on SushiBarIdle and are all negative nillie or 2) something went wrong with they’re app.

Thanks for reading this incredibly long review(sorry about that but I wanted to give a fair opinion) I definitely think you should get SushiBarIdle

The end.
