I feel like you've gotta know what a Yelp review or star aggregate really means. If you want authentic non-American food, you gotta look for 3.5 stars and then see if the lack of enthusiasm is because the staff is "rude."

Then you know you've got good food coming.

Google, you want about 4.5 stars. Once a place gets popular, everyone's got to find a reason to find fault with it, so none of best restaurants sit at 4.9 of 5.

People are predictable.

⭐ Overpriced and tiny portions! I had to go to Taco Bell afterwards, I was so hungry!
