I wonder how much you coming in with a camera and pretending to be food critic also affects the behavior and food...I think you have to really act undercover to get the true treatment.

@manny1514 24 дня назад

@risasklutteredkitchen1293 Год назад

I do think that restaurant critics should know a lot about the place before slamming it. Learn about the place, then go in and try everything out, check for cleanliness, react to the service and how well they treat you, etc. The pandemic has really damaged restaurants in general. It killed off quite a few in my county.

@honeysuckle Год назад

I feel that way about Yelp reviews too… real sad for the last restaurant cause they were so nice and food was delicious!

@Rielsufficiency Год назад

The one point I would make about cleanliness- what time of day/day if the week are you going to the establishments? I notice some places start off well but once they get busy they don’t prioritize having someone maintain the bathrooms or keeping things clean … love this new format of video!

@itsJudysLife Год назад

This video was so fun to watch!! I'll definitely be giving low rated restaurants a chance!

@Spacejockey426 Год назад

Hold on a moment . . . unlike what your waiter at the Italian place said, I seriously doubt that Yelp and Google call restaurants to check their hours - to do this would probably be a full time job! The owner of the restaurant should have a Yelp account and ensure that their own restaurant data is updated accordingly. To me, such an attention to detail goes along with showing respect for their customers (potential and otherwise). If my waiter had said that to me, I would have gently asked why the owner did not simply update the Yelp and Google pages for their own place! Additionally, any person with a Yelp account can submit a form on the Yelp page for any given restaurant to modify their hours of operation (not sure if you can for Google). It helps if you also submit photo evidence of the hours of the place in question. I've done it and Yelp has adjusted their data (in this case, a very good German place near me). I have no idea if Yelp called the place to confirm, or went solely off the evidence of my photo of the hours posted on the restaurant's door window.

@khalidcarrillo1132 Год назад

exactly, i had a business and a yelp/google page. updating hours just takes about a minute to do on your own. Yelp and especially Google will never call!

@janicespangler5551 Месяц назад

I worked at a restaurant for 17 years as a manager. Google would call about every 2 months wanting to update our business listing. Granted, it was a chain restaurant and that may have impacted it, but I can confirm that Google does call. And from experience, it is always at times that are least convenient for you to be tied up on the phone in a restaurant, such as middle of lunch and dinner rush.

@krankari Месяц назад

Came here to say exactly this - it is the responsibility of the restaurant owner to make sure things like this are correct. It's actually easy and not doing it is such a lazy way to lose customers.

@AutumnPearly01 Месяц назад

Interesting bc they most definitely do call to update multiple times a year 🤣

@rep-vile 29 дней назад

They just want less customers so they can make less money as a business 🤷‍♀

@sosweetsike Год назад

I absolutely loved this video! Makes me sad that the Italian restaurant, due to the reviews from the incident years ago, is not getting the business that it could be. Pleaseeeee do another three restaurants!!!

@zelrius8714 Год назад

For the second place, hair would definitely gross me out. If I was at home, and I accidentally get hair in a food (being that it isn't liquid or has broth, etc) I would just take it out really quick and continue eating since it's at home and it was my mistake and I cooked that. But if it's a business.. a whole ass restaurant, I expect them to be wearing hairnets or at least put their hair up and not let hair get on the food that they're serving to customers... it's just a red flag a bit. I'd definitely let them know too so that they can learn to be more careful

@paularachel00 Год назад

I really enjoyed this video. Its a shame how one bad review could have such a strong effect on a place. Great job, Dzung!

@HylianTwunk Год назад

This was such a fun video to watch lol as a big foodie myself getting to see the opposite end of the spectrum when it comes to best worst restaurants is a breath of fresh air. Also I dunno if its the way the video was shot or the location but when you talked with Anne Marie everything looked so warm and colorful kinda like a dream scene, some other scenes in the video looked this way as well. Really cool

@DovidM Год назад

Some restaurants don’t update their hours on their website since they usually have to pay to get anything changed on it. As for Apple Maps and Google Maps, they encourage business owners to submit updates for their hours online. Apple or Google will then call the business’ phone number to verify the info update. The problem is that they may call when the restaurant isn’t open. Anyone can report a problem with the listed hours. I’ve done this for several businesses. Apple and Google will sometimes make the changes and other times not make the changes. I’m a “local guide” on Google Maps, meaning that what I submit should be trusted but Google still ignores some of the updates I’ve submitted.

Do people who complain not understand what a street taco is? It’s going to be small…..but it’s full of flavor. You go to Walmart and you have street taco tortillas……guess what? They are tiny?

I work at a restaurant myself and from experience you are almost guaranteed better food and service if you go somewhere when they first open. It makes sense when you think about it the cooks are making they’re first meals of the day with the freshly prepped ingredients and the servers are also just starting their shifts

@Yamp44 Год назад

That was a very fun video. I really like that concept and hope you will do more like this. :D I think for me, the one that felt the less good was the taco place, because bland salsa would really be a turn off for me. Sauces are made to elevate your dish, so being a boring salsa would really dissapoint me. Online reviews are always a mixed bag for me. I've been to places that had excellent scores and came with high recommandation that were extremely ordinary, and places that had really middle of the road review that blew me away.

@rachelmm05 Год назад

Thanks for this kind of video it gives a different perspective. I have gone to some restaurants where it had a good review but the food or customer service was horrible.

You're super brave for trying 2-star restaurants and such....I'd be all skeeved out by the cleanliness factor, but all three looked clean enough. The thing is that, all three restaurants are really different in that you have fast-food, to serving the masses (dim sum), to fine dining...so I think it'd be better to eat at 3 like places and rate them....Fine dining will always get more points because you're paying for the experience/ambiance.

@jvever4904 Год назад

Those restaurants probably gave you quicker/better service because you went in filming with a professional camera, thinking you were either a food blogger or critic of some kind. The first place with the tacos seemed like a case of possibly white patrons being picky, because those tacos and burritos looked fairly authentic from what you showed, and the place was clean. Second place definitely needs to be better with plating their food and wearing their hair up, finding loose hair in a dish is disgusting and a health code violation. Especially off-putting for a place that charged you such a high tab. The Italian place, looking rather empty, was able to be incredibly involved with serving you your food. I doubt the dining experience would've been as nice if it was a full house, but at least you had a good time.

@h011yw00d Год назад

This is good content. :) Does yelp and google charge them to claim their page? I doubt it. They could claim the page & confirm they are the owners and update the hours. Sucks they can't figure it out like many other places. I wonder where you got the spy glasses, looks quite discreet.
