re: #583 Brother Holy Cruise Missile of Mild Acceptance

My general rule of thumb for eating at ethnic restaurants is: If I see people at the restaurant that are from the same ethnic background I will give the place a try. Now given that there are tons of Indian, Mexican, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Hawaiian and Japanese restaurants in my area I then go by how packed those places get (and by Yelp reviews). There are bad “authentic” restaurants for all types of cuisine so I do what I can to weed them out.

Most kosher restaurants suck. The only exceptions are in areas where there is a lot of competition, even then they mostly suck.

In LA they’re pretty good though. Just not too deep in the Valley.
