Restaurant rating information in China

Restaurant rating information in China - Selective Focus Photography of Stop Sign

I'd like to try to find places to eat in China. In the USA I look on Chowhound, which has a pretty good user base. Is there a similar tool for China?

I could use a site like TripAdvisor, but I worry the average TripAdvisor user is looking for an experience with dragons on the walls and gold leaf everywhere and a courteous waiter, and would give a place a bad review if the food was too spicy or the place was dingy, even if the food was great.

Are there any sites like this?



Best Answer

If you can't read Chinese, I suggest you use FourSquare, they have decent amount of info in the big cities.

If you do read some Chinese, try Dianping, they are the FourSquare in china and has the most complete listing of restaurants. It has both iOS and android apps.
