In America, google rating scores are straight up astroturfed to the point where the total number of ratings is far more important than their score.

When I travel to Japan, for example, I interpret a bad google maps review score for a location as a GOOD thing, because the average white tourists palette is incompatible with the local cuisine.

I can walk to basically any random place, anywhere in Japan, or France, or Singapore and get very high quality food that I don't have to worry about being full of bullshit. That's not true in America.

As long as you realize this is opinion, sure thing.
