Description

About the Game

Across Korea, countless neighborhood diners serve kimbap and comfort food at lightning speed. In Kimbap Heaven Simulator, play solo or with friends as you cook authentic dishes, serve hungry customers, and keep the business running—while picking up practical Korean cooking tips along the way. Expand your kitchen over time with new recipes and equipment as the diner grows.

Korea is home to countless fast, friendly neighborhood diners where kimbap and comfort food are made fresh all day. In Kimbap Heaven Simulator, you step behind the counter to experience the full rhythm of running one—solo or with friends. Start by stocking up on ingredients, then prep and cook with hands-on steps that make Korean cuisine feel tactile and real. As the day goes on and customers come in, good time management helps you stay on top of orders: keep stations organized, choose what to make next, and serve efficiently at your own pace.
