About

It’s time to grab the apron - Your culinary journey begins in a small but promising restaurant where every day challenges you to improve, experiment, and develop your own cooking style. Learn the secrets of ingredients, refine your techniques, and craft plates that win over guests, each with their own moods, quirks, and expectations. Your creativity decides whether they leave impressed or furious.

Feeling like you need a hand? Call in a friend. Multiplayer co-op lets your buddies jump straight into your kitchen with their gear and know-how. Share the workload, split the profits, or head into sandbox mode to relax and mess around. Cook whatever you want, try ridiculous experiments, test recipes, or just start a legendary food fight. It is your kitchen, your chaos.
Tired of following the same instructions again and again? Break the rules and create something new. Start with dozens of base recipes and transform them into signature dishes. Adjust ingredients, tweak flavors, experiment with techniques, and discover combinations your customers will crave. Need inspiration? Collect a wide selection of in-game recipes inspired by everyday meals from around the world. Each one is easy to customize for any playstyle.

Cooking is only half of the challenge. Keep your shelves stocked, prep ingredients before service, and maintain clean, organized stations. Use professional equipment, tune temperatures, manage timing, and avoid disasters like burnt steaks or frozen centers. Pick the perfect cuts, keep dishes warm, and plate everything with style, from simple meals to high-end masterpieces. And yes, do not forget the sauce.
As you gain experience and prestige, you unlock new skills, perks, and advanced techniques that push your abilities even further. Take on specialized challenges from the International Academy of Master Chefs, the Concorde Culinaire, to earn mastery seals and climb toward true culinary excellence. Learn what your customers really want, create dishes with unique qualities, and transform your kitchen into a world-class culinary laboratory.

After a long service, unwind in your personal apartment. Experiment freely, cook purely for fun, or simply enjoy a well-earned meal. Give your chef a unique personality by changing hairstyles, outfits, tattoos, and more. Show off your style both in and out of the kitchen.
Bad day? Annoying customers? A dish gone horribly wrong? Let it out. Smash, burn, throw things, or blow off steam purely for the satisfaction of it. Nothing clears the mind quite like making a huge mess after a long day.
This is your safe place for kitchen-approved destruction.

Everyone said it was watered down. But decided to try it anyway with some peeps. Everything that made the first game a unique chaotic experience is totally absent. The interesting cutting based physics are gone, the pouring and liquid physics are also gone. If this game was a new plate up game, I think it would be pretty cool. Coming into this with the expectation that you're getting a sequel to the first cooking sim but with co-op is a pretty massive let down.
We tried playing with a friend. There were some minor issues because the game was just released. But we're really looking forward to it being optimized so we can play it again.
Me and my friend were in the middle of a gameplay, we just upgraded to tier 2 kitchen, looked around, awed on the new design and appliances. Had to close the game and after we came back to the same save, the storage room broke entirely. If we try to pick up anything, the game shows you picked up something, but your hands are empty, you can't put down the picked up nothing, and now it seems our save is kind of corrupted because relaunching the save, restarting the game entirely or other methods i've tried, failed to help our situation. The kitchen area is working fine but the storage and every item in it is inaccessible, and ordering new ingredients doesn't help either as they are too unpickable / cannot be put down. Dissapointing. Edit: As my friend tried to host his game being roughly at the same progress, the same thing happened. After tier 2 kitchen upgrade, the storage area turns into a blackhole and as you would pick stuff up, there is nothing in your hand, you can't put said stuff down at that point, and you are wondering where next...
Урезанная версия первой игры, ничего нельзя делать, хочу налить мыло в миску для собаки, нельзя Все предметы отскакивают т летают по кухне как будто я не в симулятор кухни играю, а в PropHunt Garry`s Mod.
so many bugs after upgrading kitchen timer cant be readed. Stupid troller griefter came in and throw the gas on the stove and burn it till my kitchen explode, After cooking my dish ready to serve those troller grab my food and trash it. Cant even kick them lol. When forced to quit and re entry switched to closed session get bugged at loading area and cant even play the game.
İlk çıktığında optimizasyonla ilgili yorumlar nedeniyle oyunu almamıştım. Şu an denediğimde optimizasyonun büyük ölçüde iyileştiğini söyleyebilirim. Ben RTX 4060 Ti + Ryzen 5 7500F sistemle herhangi bir performans sorunu yaşamadım. Oynanış tarafında bıçak kontrol sistemi ilk oyunda daha keyifliydi. Otomatik kesim iyi bir fikir olsa da herkes için uygun olmayabilir. Bu nedenle otomatik ve manuel arasında seçim yapılabilmesi daha iyi bir deneyim sunabilirdi. Arada ufak tefek bug’lar da olabiliyor. Örneğin yamağımın hazırladığı çorba ocaktayken bir anda yok oldu. Ancak bunlar genel deneyimi ciddi şekilde etkilemiyor. Genel olarak iyi bir yamağınız varsa oldukça keyifli bir oyun. Zamanın nasıl geçtiğini anlamıyorsunuz. Özellikle co-op tarafı oyunun en güçlü yönlerinden biri. Tavsiye ederim.
Game is fun but buggy.. The first game was a lot better since u can just mess around. This game not as much and cooking is on baby mode.. u cant really messed up like the first game. sadly 3/6 star

It really is a good game dont know why people are complaining so much for a multiplayer experience it is good there is a good set of bugs I will agree there but nothing a quick restart won't fix and improvements are coming have been having a blast hope to see a ton of stuff be added in the future some of the most fun I have had in a cooking sim with my girlfriend if you want the detailed experience go to cooking sim if you want a fun experience with a friend this is the one!
this game at its released was a huge mess. bugs, untold tutorials, and so on. i remembered i was stuck in the tutorial not being able to advance. But, over the course of a few weeks, patches and updates are being released, and now it's playable. in fact, i realized there's more i can do, although it's still a little clunky sometimes. I have cooking simulator 1 and DLCs and i love them generally, (although sushi DLC is such a bummer) and i think CS2 for now is playable with significant less bugs. The tutorial is still slightly unclear with certain recipes, and i was slightly confused that i got free stuff after the tutorial (but i needed some of the equipment like a mixer for soup during the tutorial. I wish we can have a clear list of cooking equipment needed while shopping, besides the ingredients inventory) I havent even try this game on my ROG ally, since i have a feeling that playing on controller will be another nightmare.. But this game deserves a chance. i will wait for the time where my friends are confident enough to buy this game so i can play with them.
