i think your story is a great example of why open review aggregation sites are a broken model.
these reviews are not comprehensive. a lot of people only go there to post about a shitty experience or out-of-this-world experience. it's also broken in situations where reviewers are not familiar with the culture or standards of the place they're visiting, i.e. critiquing the service/cleanliness/decor of an authentic hole-in-the-wall chinese restaurant.
- lotsofpulp 8y agoWhy would you not want to be aware of bad service or cleanliness in a restaurant?
- kbar13 8y agobecause there's a different standard you should hold a street hawker to vs a high end restaurant. to be clear, you should be paying attention to the tastiness of the food (usually comfort food) and the atmosphere of something like a street stand in asia, where you might comment on attention to detail and innovation at someplace like coi.
- lotsofpulp 8y agoIn my opinion, clean and not bad service is a standard every restaurant should be able to meet.
