is.<\/p>\n<p>Gameplay is simple and straightforward.\u00a0 You are in a kitchen of an Asian style restaurant and you first press a button to take your order.\u00a0 You can view the steps to the recipe and pictures of what you need to do to make it.\u00a0 There is a workstation with shapes of what you need, and a description of what you need to do to make it.\u00a0 Go to the pantry and get what you need and place it on the workstation.\u00a0 Then you\u2019ll play a few mini-games to prepare what you just got out, and repeat the process multiple times until you finish the order.\u00a0 Then hold the button when the order is done and you\u2019ll get money for it.\u00a0 You get rated on how well you did in the mini-games, too.\u00a0 You can still tell that this feels like a repurposed VR title, but man the improvements at least make this one playable.\u00a0 It\u2019s still a bit bland and repetitive, as all you cook are Asian dishes, but it\u2019s still a serviceable cooking game.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/cooking_screen\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-24898 alignnone\"
