My tip go into places you see old Asian people eating in as they will be very blunt if the food is shyt.

I sometimes go to this Hong Kong joint that one of my Paags takes me to. The place is not flashy but the food is amazing and its mostly full of old Hong Kongers.

I tend to avoid ethnic places that have an abudance of white people eating there. As you know the food will crafted to their palate.

There is this Taiwanese place that opened up near me. The decor was great, the lighting and space was big and it was started by a Taiwanese woman. Decided to go.

Of a big ass restaurant apart from the woman I was with, and this asian couple who came in 20 mins after us. Everybody else was white, all the servers were white, the bar staff was white, dare not even ask who was in the kitchen. The food was so so but I never went back.

If I dont see Chinese people there i wont eat there and dont trust it.

You see Indian people eat at Indian restaurants, Jamaicans eat at Jamaican restaurants, Arabs at shawarma/middle eastern spots, etc. Alot of these Chinese restaurants I dont see Chinese people.. I dont trust those.
This


Any ethic food that the people don’t eat there is very suspect

An easier method is to see if they have the mustard in packets or in those silver cups.

Just like Japanese places and the ginger salad dressing.
yep facts,
People don't realize because they all have different names,

but all of this shyt comes from one singular restaurant chain. They all have the same containers, same sauce packets, same food, and even the same to go bags,
it's mcdonalds for chinese food but they can all use unique names on the store fronts. so people think they're different.
Look at the pictures below and tell me you haven't been to at least two chinese places with different names using the same shyt.

Just find a place that uses different stuff (Ie container that are unique to that restaurant and not the generic ones posted above) and generally it is going to be better.

They opened up a new Jamaican spot around the way and I checked the reviews and everyone kept saying how great their service was. I knew the food had to be beyond trash because there ain’t one friendly Jamaican that works in hospitality. :what:


I found one that was rated 1 star only because of terrible and rude their service was and I knew that was the golden spot I had to check out:gladbron:

Th better the food, the more authentic it is, the more likely they serve cat and dog. I’ll pass.

Man all the Chinese people in college would complain about American Chinese food but the line at Panda express on campus would be full of Asian students
