60 of 159 · most liked firstThis game made me realize I will not buy games from Rogue Duck Interactive anymore. TL;DR: If you liked games like Cats & Cups, Witchy Business, and other titles from this publisher, you'll like this game too. If you hated their previous games for being grindy, tedious, and poorly optimized in terms of mechanics in the late stages, you'll hate this game as well. Again, it's a good game if you enjoy their style. I know this publisher has an established fanbase that enjoys their cozy vibes and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Running a sushi shop all by myself is hectic! My current goal is trying to get a dishwasher at least so I don't have to wash anymore dishes 🍣 Game: Ugoku Sushi Bar Platform: PC (Windows, Mac, SteamOS+Linux)
unlabelledView post →Slightly addicted to this cosy game. However, it really annoys me that I've maxed out ingredient storage and many customers are asking for dragon dishes, with only max 9 roe, there is no way to fulfil them all, sitting and waiting for the customer's order bar to go red and for them to leave it not great at all. This should be given some attention, increase the max storage for these items.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It was really fun making a different sushi recipe every day. Once I unlocked the dishwashing station upgrades, it became even more enjoyable. Overall, I really liked the calm atmosphere and cozy vibe of the game. The artwork is adorable, and the characters are really cool. Great job!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →new trailer for Ugoku Sushi Bar 🍣 a tiny game about checking recipes, buying rice, serving regulars, and somehow always having dishes to wash 🧼✨ #indiegames #indiegamedev #cozygaming
unlabelledView post →Great addicting gamer overall if you enjoy management type games involving food. There is plenty to do but does get a bit repetitive, but there are constant things unblocking, or seasons bringing new recipes so it does stay fresh for the most part. Pros: - Cozy, cute and visuals are adorable. - Addicting gameplay - Casino and chopstick mini game gives extra side content - Many many recipes and levels to unlock Cons: - My hand hurts, I wish I could play using keyboard over just mouse. -…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really enjoy this game but am finding it really difficult to streamline and improve my gameplay efficiency because a lot of the items are quite hard to click on? For example: there have been multiple instances my flow has ground to a standstill because of how tedious it is to put unagi on the grill and the button has a pretty small range in which it can be turned on. A lot of the time when placing the unagi on the sushi mat too, it won't actually get picked up and takes several clumsy attempts…

unlabelledView post →I feel the same way about this game that I feel about most of the rogue duck catalog. Most of the game it has a satisfying gameplay loop and it really feels like I'm working towards something. But once I've bought everything, all I'm doing is grinding out the days for the rest of the achievements. This game in particular is kind of annoying because you only get certain recipes on certain days, forcing you to play longer.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game reminded me of the cooking games i played as a kid, especially Sue's Ramen Shop and those old hot dog stand games. it has that nostalgic flash game vibe (but much more detailed and polished), and I absolutely love it :33 the art is gorgeous, and the food looks so good it made me hungry
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was SUCH a cute and cozy game BUT I have a few gripes about the game that I want to share in case any of these things may bother other gamers, too. (1) I found it moved too slow at times... I get that the point is low stakes and cozy, but I would have appreciated a few more guests to serve as that would have made some of the upgrades mean more (i.e. the 3x sushi button...) (2) THE FISHING PROCESSING. I don't think I need to say anything more for people who've played it but this may…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I feel super mixed about Ugoku Sushi Bar. I really enjoy the actual sushi making, style, upgrades and the dice mini game, but it is severely lacking several quality of life features that would make the game enjoyable to play for longer than 20 minutes. The amount of sushi variants is very high - too many recipes to be able to memorize, so you are constantly checking and rechecking order tabs -which results in a stressful gameplay loop for the player. The overall expectation is to scale your…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you enjoy the crafting system in Minecraft then you will definitely enjoy this game. The whole scaling fish minigame is a bit tedious, but it's not required to do. Also at one point very early in the game I ran out of the cream cheese or whatever it was and I was unable to buy more until day 8 (I think?) when you unlock the black market so it was charging me 16 currency for each individual use until I unlocked that. These are honestly just small nitpicks, I'm very much becoming addicted this…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is pure cozy comfort. Relaxing, charming, and perfect for unwinding after a long day. Highly recommended!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought this as a relaxing break between books, and now my books have competition. Cute art, cozy vibes, simple mechanics, tons of recipes, and a dangerously satisfying conveyor belt. 🍣📚
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →needs more upgrades, storage/Conveyor. i haven't finished it yet but i think there should be an endless mode or a gold rush mode where you make the most amount of money in a given time or something. Crab Gunkan and truffle crab gunkan have the EXACT same sprite pls fix. but overall really chill game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really fun game about making and serving sushi! I'm giving it a thumbs up because I enjoyed it very much and thought it's very pretty and polished, but I do think it got too long at the end. There are so many recipes to learn, so if you're an achievement hunter it will take you some time. The great thing is that there are three modes of difficulty/speed, so you can choose how stressed out or cosy you want to be in the kitchen. TIme to complete: 23 hours (100 percent achievements)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Personally, it's one of my favorite games that has actually made me invested. It's perfect. The only issue I have is not being able to make multiple orders if they include the grilled nigiri, place multiple pieces on the grill, and not having a large enough button to actually start it. Other than a few things here and there, I really love this game! I will continue playing it regardless! :))
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game got overwhelming quickly, too many recipes with too many combinations and ingredients.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had also played the demo of the game and was eagerly awaiting the full version. Many new things have been added and I really liked them. I enjoyed playing the game a lot and I'm actually learning how to make sushi :D
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →nice and cozy sushi making experience with lovely art! definitely worth a try if you like those old cooking/restaurant management flash games
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its a unique sushi game and very rich menu,crafting area is also unique i like that!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I previously marked this game as "not recommended" because I thought I was soft-locked. I re-purchased the game because I really enjoyed the gameplay outside of getting stuck. After playing some more, I realized a couple things 1) you CAN go into debt, the game doesn't prevent you from spending additional money to meet your daily goals 2) a LOT of the things in this game are labeled in a confusing way. It would be very helpful if the items in the shop were named the same thing as they are…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game so much, it's very fun and relaxing
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Thanks everyone for coming out and watching, Cosmic Cauldron was a lot of fun and Ugoku Sushi Bar was also fun (to a lesser degree). Congrats to the game key winners and thanks to @renwyk.bsky.social for the raid, we raided out to @fuwafuuvt.bsky.social for some Palworld fun!
unlabelledView post →It's such a fun game! I ended up playing for 6 hours straight the first time I played it. I just wish the wallpaper would change when you change the noren too.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really enjoyed the game just as I did with Cats and Cups. There were some annoyances such as the customer leaving and I'm trying to quickly clean up but that damn cup will NOT be available to pick up until the customer leaves XD (It makes sense but damn them for not rushing fast enough to leave.) but other than that, it's a great game to play.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really enjoy this game, I've always been a fan of simpler restaurant management game like this one and it really hit the spot for me. The only issue I had is that I found scaling fish every time I caught one to be quite repetitive and boring after a while to the point where I would just skip fishing all-together and just restocked them at the market. The fishing mini-game is fine in my opinion but either improving the scaling of fish, making it different from fish to fish or just simply…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very cozy and relaxing game! It’s perfect to play while watching a series or just unwinding. It reminds me of the old browser cooking games I used to play, but with lots of fun additional activities, such as fishing and the casino minigame. :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played the demo before and liked it, now it seems like they added so much more on top of the demo! I love how the sushi making works, after a while I even memorized some recipes. If you want a fun and cute cozy game, definitely get this ^^
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As someone interested in East Asian culture and cuisine having this experience through the game was truly enjoyable. I can now practically run a sushi shop in Japan.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Even better than expected while playing the demo version at early access

unlabelledView post →Really fun!! Reminds me of the cooking games I used to play as a kid. Normal mode is not stressful yet not boring
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If there was a "maybe" option on Steam, that's probably what I would click. If you're thinking about buying and playing this game, it has to be something you're already sure about genre-wise. It adheres to the "choose your own pace" cozy cooking game formula, and the first few hours are addicting and really fly by. If you like the first few hours, the rest are roughly the same. Most of the minigames don't feel really thought out (especially the scaling part of the fishing mechanic, which is…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is generally good fun and has a good replayable loop to it. It's nice to unlock a new recipe every day and new ingredients very often. The game isn't difficult and the gambling mini game is fun. You can also feed and pet a cute cat :) However if you are looking to unlock all the achievements it gets extremely grindy late game. I've got to about 80/110 and I just cant be bothered to do the final few as the game gets very repetitive towards the end. The fishing minigame also gets very…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a very cute and cozy sushi cooking game. What's really neat is that there are 3 difficulties to choose from depending on your desired playstyle (more chill or challenging). The visuals are also really pretty and not overhelming, plus the game is easy to follow and new features get introduced the more you play which helps it stay interesting, and you can invest a lot of time into the game for completion if you'd like. I definitely recommend this game :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good if you want a mindless grind while you achievement hunt. Not the best from this publisher... I think Cats & Cups better balanced the grind with achievement hunting instead of blindly handing out a new achievement every day in game corresponding with that day's new recipe. But hey, if you're in a bad place mental health wise, this is kind of perfect with that in mind, so I can't complain too much.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i get to like day 6 every time or day 8 and ill pay my bill and try to go into the resturant and it says i didnt pay the bill when i already did. the option to pay it is gone so not able to go into the resturant and play the game . this has happened three times i keep trying it over and over
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I put the game on the hardest difficulty right away because I really enjoy Diner Dash kinda games where there is some time pressure and you have to stay on top of everything. While this isn’t exactly the same type of game, I really enjoy having customer timers and the added pressure of trying to get everyone served quickly. The gameplay loop is fun, but there are a few things that can make it feel more tedious than it needs to be. The automated sink for washing and drying dishes feels like an…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this game is so cute! you get to learn little facts about all of your customers if you give them chopsticks (which in my opinion are pretty cheap), its a very repetitive game of course making sushi, but i like unlocking all the new ingredients and getting to make new things! you have different seasons which gives you different ingredients and recipes, and you can upgrade your tools! i have only played on the zen mode but it is my favorite so far since it is nice to just enjoy the game instead…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super cute game that makes me feel like I'm on a minecraft crafting competition. I love it! The pacing feels really smooth, although the controls do not. I'm trying to put out all dishes ASAP but I end up clicking everything 2-3 times, especially the grill for unagi. I guess it happens because everything is so close together, and I don't have the problem of accidently grabbing something else when I meant another thing, which is nice. The most fun part was, interestingly, fishing! Especially…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I LOVE SUSHI WOOOOOOO
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like it I love it :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →7 hours in, and I am still addicted. The bar gameplay is very intuitive and well explained. The progressive recipe unlock system I find very well paced and keeps the game new and interesting hours in. I quite like learning about the customers that come to your sushi bar, though one criticism I have is that you don't really get to interact with them much, you only learn about their lore; I would like it if we could actually talk to the customers and maybe even romance them in a later update.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Love this game!!! Played the demo out a lot and was happily surprised to find it carried over to the full release! It was nice having some extra cash so early in the game. Very relaxing and cozy, make sushi through all 4 seasons while you meet and learn about your customers. I play the fishing and casino mini games every single day after closing the sushi bar and can't get enough of collecting the chopstick skins!! Highly recommend this game if you're just looking to chill and pass time…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Completely relaxing honestly
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →We're going LIVE now with a double feature. We're kicking it off by testing out a new game called Ugoku Sushi Bar. And then we're diving back into the full version of Letter Lost because it's SPOOKY month! Come say hi! I missed you! www.twitch.tv/oodlesofnood...
unlabelledView post →I LOVE this game. The sushi making is super fun, and if you forget a recipe you can find it in the recipe book and it will copy the ingredients and put the shadow of them on the mat so that you can make it correctly without having to look back and forth in the book. The upgrades are really satisfying and I've found it to be super fun. It's cozy, the music is pretty good (though I do wish there was more variety) and the colors are great. This is everything a cozy game and time management game…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I’ve only play about an hour so far and I love it! It’s so cute and fun to play. I’m enjoying all the extra features besides just running the sushi bar. The only one I don’t really understand how to play is the casino they have available.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ugoku Sushi Bar has quickly become my favorite Rogue Duck Interactive game. Having played through and thoroughly enjoyed many of their titles, I saw the 100+ achievements and knew I'd have fun 100%'ing the game. I was worried the gameplay would become repetitive after the first few hours but the different recipes and minigames kept it fresh. It's the perfect game for the chill/cozy game lovers. I appreciate the difficulty levels and the ''casual'' mode that lets you play the game at your own…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ugoku Sushi Bar is a surprisingly good job simulator that kept me entertained much longer than I expected. You run your own sushi restaurant and prepare everything your customers order by following different recipes. But you're also responsible for getting the ingredients yourself. You can catch most of the fish, grow herbs for tea, and buy whatever else you need. The money you earn can then be invested in upgrades that make running the restaurant and progressing through the game easier. One…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ugoku Sushi Bar takes the familiar restaurant-management formula and reshapes it into a cozy sushi-making experience centered on routine, discovery, and gradual improvement. Developed by Rogue Duck Interactive and published by Rogue Duck Interactive and Gamersky Games, it places the player behind the counter of a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant in a charming Japanese setting. Rather than building its identity around relentless time pressure, the game mixes cooking and organization with recipe…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Easy but tedious. I think the fishing minigame was probably implemented in less than a day given how boring and repetitive it is. 4h in I can still only serve 3 customers at a time which is pretty easy to do on the highest difficulty if you're used to these kinds of games
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got this game because a friend told me about it, it's a new game. It took me 32 hours to 100% the game, and I now have all achievements except the secret one. It's a really relaxing game and has little mini-games between levels to break up the monotony, although they are all optional. I'm going to continue playing it as it's really fun and relaxing and I can play it while watching videos or listening to podcasts. In the time I've been playing it, they've released a few fixes for bugs, but the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a really nice cozy sushi game. im so inlove with the artstyle and the soundeffects, they blend so well together. and it runs smoothly!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've been waiting for this game to fully release since its announcement. I love the sushi crafting the mechanic and how fast you unlock new ingredients/recipes. The only thing I'd complain about it is how many bugs there are. The ones I have noticed so far are as follows: - I was once mass-feeding Rini sushi off of plates. At some point the plates began to disappear, and I needed to restart the day because it was telling me I needed to wash the dishes, but they were nowhere to be found. -…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is a good game and the developers really put in efforts fixing bugs and issues,
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Rogue Duck Interactive always make the best games and this one is no different. The game can be a bit grindy at times but theres a few upgrades to make things easier, although, it would be nice to have more automatic things. Theres a few bugs which can be frustrating but the Devs have been on top of it and fixing them when they arise.
