Checkout Tabelog, a Japanese version of Yelp. Anything over 3.5 is phenomenal. 4.0+? Rare. 4.5 is probably the best sushi place in all of Tokyo. Anything over 2.0 is great. 1.5 is manageable and 1 or below is bad. We in the west just love so much excess. Everything is amazing or everything just sucks. Bimodal distribution and extreme greed. Most things in nature, society, etc are normally distributed and our review system and the people are broken from the most fundamental ways. Something to learn about this from Japan.
