You can also assign idle Yokai as adventurers to hunt for ingredients and rare drops while you’re away.
- Plenty of quests (storyline plot and main game quests) to follow and gain XP and money to level up.
- Absolutely adorable anime graphics!
- Plenty of yokai cards to collect/summon, level up and train in battle, cooking, breeding skills and more by leveling up their stats. Equipment can be equipped and you can also try to improve their bond with you by “petting” them and more.
- Chat, add friend functions and even guilds to join. Eventually, there will be PvP and more!
tldr; a similar game to Food Fantasy.

Our Thoughts and Ratings
As Yokai Kitchen is a fairly new game, there are plenty of giveaways and freebies, so this is the best time to play now to entertain yourself and level up fast before boredom overtakes you eventually, or that you need to start paying to get on with the game faster. However, it is essentially a F2P (free to play) game with adorable graphics, lovely storyline and interesting gameplay! More content, characters and stories will also be added further down the road, but it has a great base to start off with.
Overall, a fun and light-hearted game to spend your time on and you will be fairly entertained. Note thhat the battle RPG aspect is stronger here verus a restaurant management side! Also do remember to check in everyday to get your in-game bonuses, free gifts and check their Facebook / WeChat (Search “yokaikitchen”) for in-game codes and giveaways!

Word of Warning: This is a very, very addictive game and this editor spent almost 4 hours on the game when she started playing it. At 12.30am. She later leveled up to Level 10 close to 5am in the morning.
Editor’s Rating: 4.2/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
