Three-and-a-half stars is the sweet spot for Chinese restaurant ratings, says Freddie Wong.

TODAY Illustration / Getty ImagesIf you ever find yourself in a new city with a hankering for Chinese food, a viral TikTok has a trick to help you identify the best ones: the Yelp rating — but not a particularly high one.

Wong goes on to single out a few restaurants in the Los Angeles area to prove his point, including his local P.F. Chang’s which has two-and-a-half stars for the Chinese food chain which he calls “bad, obviously.” “Why is this the case? Well, here’s my theory: The cultural expectations for service are different in Asia,” Wong says in the video, referring to the widespread principal in the U.S. that the customer is always right. “It’s not as proactive. They’re not going to come up to you, they’re not going to just proactively give you refills, you need to flag down the waiter.”
