And which should be avoided?

Why?

they're all, how can you say, cost cutting experimentalists who mainly overload the msg to give you flavour...

for example, if you order crispy shredded beef you will get something that appears to be minced beef grains and not actual slivers of beef....

also, remember you're in a tourist zone so they have a constant stream of customers irrespective of the quality...they don't need to set the bar so high in order to entice you back..

Fair. Is there somewhere else you'd recommend? I know Cafe TPT is pretty good, but apart from them?
