The Home88 angle
An English menu is not a quality signal. We sort by cuisine — Shanghainese, Sichuan, Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, Southeast Asian, Western, halal, vegetarian — and hold one bar: would we take a visiting client there. Dish-level notes included.
Vetting in progress — Every entry is tested before it is listed: we call in English, visit in person, and record the date. Categories go live as verification completes.
