Chef Umami in IOS

Your kitchen, your rules

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

86/100

Chef Umami is a delightful 'cooking-sim' that leans into the creative side of gastronomy rather than the frantic pressure of a time-management game. It’s the 'Toca Kitchen' for a slightly more mature audience. The way you can customize every single ingredient—slicing, frying, and seasoning with 100% control—is incredibly satisfying.

The real joy comes from the AR (Augmented Reality) mode, which lets you serve your digital creations on your actual dining table. It’s a whimsical touch that makes the game feel more tactile. The 'Umami' rating system for the customers provides just enough structure to keep you focused, but the game is at its best when you're just experimenting with weird ingredient combinations just to see the customer's hilarious reactions.
