As @phb stated.
In 1998, my wife and I attended a business seminar on the Gold Coast, and we walked down the main drag to find somewhwre to eat at.
We walked past a flash Chinese restaurant in which many of the other seminar attendees were eating but there was a very conspicious absence of Asian diners.
We walked on, and around the corner we saw a sign for an Asian restaurant which occupied the second and third floors of a building on the next corner and we proceeded up the stairs.
It was packed with Asian diners. The service was great, the food was fantastic, and the prices were very reasonable.
Next morning of the seminar, we asked some of the attendees we had seen in the fancy restaurant about their experience, and they advised it was terrible.
Since then I have used a policy of seeing if their are many, or any, Asians eating in an Asian restaurant before eating there.
If the restaurant is not good enought for them, I avoid it like the plague.
