  1. It's brilliant because it presents a slick and fast-paced management puzzle within firm boundaries and rules that manages to teach the player all of its lessons before he or she gets bored and moves on.
  2. It's simplistic, and unlikely to entertain for too long, but the concept is clever enough to deserve a look. [June 2007, p.119]
  3. Diner Dash fits right at home on the Nintendo DS and it remains to be one of the most repetitive yet highly addictive games that shouldn’t be missed. The touchscreen features could have been a bit better but compared to the PSP version this one is by far the best portable version of this game.
  4. It's very little fun to play, and since you can play a limited version online for free as a Flash game, there's no good reason to put it in your DS. [June 2007, p.70]

    The addictive PC game comes to the DS, and it does all the right things. Annoyances that were in the PC version have changed for the better, and this game has even added a whole new assortment of new objects, people and appliances to mess with.

    It's simple, if you liked the PC version, you'll love this. If you've never played this before, this is very much worth a rent to experience how unique and addicting this game is. The point-and-click style of the older PC version translates perfectly with the DS touchpad, making it probably one of the easiest (and truest to original) ports ever done.
