About This Game

Adventure across the lush Hawaiian island of Maikai and lead a team of chefs through the challenges of running a pop-up restaurant. Build new relationships and rediscover the bonds that make a kitchen feel like home.

Befriend and recruit a cast of colorful chefs, each with their unique specialties. As you guide them through tropical cooking venues, you’ll uncover their personal stories and witness the bonds that form within this close-knit community. As the chefs collaborate and support one another, their bonds deepen and friendships grow…some may even find unexpected romance.

Whip up some mouthwatering Hawaiian dishes as you explore Maikai's various venues and overcome challenges! Serve Spam Musubi, Mac Salad, Loco Moco, and more. Craft your menu and customize your recipes by adding your own Twists. Optimize your kitchen layout, upgrade your appliances, and level up your chefs' abilities to fully master every kitchen.

Need a break from the kitchen? Strengthen your bond with your team and enjoy what the island has to offer. Go on a fishing trip or a nature hike. Each mini-game lets you grow your relationship with the chefs you befriend on your journey.

Play as either Kai or Kala, two siblings on their quest to bring their family’s restaurant back to life. Along the way, you’ll complete meaningful side quests, experiment with recipes, and craft dishes as unforgettable as the people you’ll meet. Start as the new eatery on the island and grow your restaurant into a local gem.

On Maikai, cooking is more than just preparing meals. It’s about growing relationships and embracing the spirit of community.
