Yoshinoya Beef Bowl Simulator Thrills For PS2

An anonymous reader writes "According to a hands-on account of Success' Japanese PS2 title Yoshinoya over at GameSpot, the game, based on the popular Japanese/U.S. restaurant chain, 'is quite possibly one of the greatest beef-bowl simulators on the current generation of game consoles.' Sadly, the game probably won't make it out of Japan." Apparently filled with hectic multi-part gameplay: "You'll take the role of a bright-eyed and bushy-tailed trainee at a Yoshinoya store who must work his way up through the ranks of the apron-and-hat-wearing set to be the best employee to ever seat a customer, pour tea, prepare a bowl, and shout 'Arigato gozaimashita!'"

Is Tampopo required viewing prior to playing?

If you enjoy noodle making games (or if you don't) you should watch Tampopo. Certainly one of the best noodle movies ever made!

I am serious though, this is a good movie. Quite funny too.

There was actually a very good food simulator for the PS1 that involved chopping carrots, stirring noodles, and juggling tasks and customers around (a pot boils whether you watch it or not, but you need to strain the noodles before they get mushy). It came on one of the Playstation Underground disks, and was called Ore no Ryouri, one of the most fun games I've played in a long time. Definitely worth a try, if you can find it.
