GamesRadar writes: "For some reason, people love to do things in video games that they would find incredibly tedious and mundane in real life. Washing the dog. Shopping on a limited budget. Going to court. Math. And especially cooking. We can barely be bothered to microwave ramen noodles in the real world, but slap an anime girl into the mix to yell at us when something goes wrong, and we'll happily chop, grill, stir, and clean up the leftovers until we become master videogame chefs. Order Up! exploits of this strange, masochistic tendency by starting you off as grill cook at a crappy burger joint and tasking you to build a restaurant empire… one onion burger at a time."

* Satisfying career mode
* Charismatic
* Giving assignments to underlings
You'll hate:
* Controls don't always work properly
* Repeatedly repeating repetition
* Slow pace when not in kitchen
From the review: "While minor issues exist with the game's controls and 3D-enabled visuals, the majority of gameplay features have been significantly improved for the handheld experience. With its low asking price and extensive amount of content, Order Up!! will easily occupy numerous hours with preparing dishes and managing restaurants. Order Up!! delivers an addictive and charming gameplay experience that should be on the menu for both beginner and experienced chefs."

Let’s find out!
