Game Overview

Ever wanted to run a tiny Japanese restaurant from your Game Boy Color? Watashi no Restaurant is this oddly satisfying little sim where you chop veggies, grill fish, and try not to panic when three customers order at once. The pixel art’s got that warm, slightly fuzzy GBC look—everything’s tiny but full of personality, from the bobbing customer heads to the way your character frantically flips pancakes.

At first it feels simple, but then you realize you’re out of rice because you forgot to restock, and that grumpy salaryman in the corner is tapping his foot. The charm’s in the little details: the *ding* of the order bell, the way dishes get fancier as you unlock recipes, and how weirdly proud you feel when your restaurant rating goes up. It’s like if someone mixed the stress of Diner Dash with the cozy vibes of a 90s Japan sim—no deep life sim stuff, just cooking, serving, and occasionally burning the tempura.

Honestly, half the fun is seeing what weird dish combinations the game lets you make. I once served a "mystery curry" that looked questionable but somehow got five stars.
