  • Member since September 23 2009 Jasmine good food cheap This place is good for those that like to shop at international markets. They have a really good meat department. They will clean the meat/fish and stuff for you for free. They clean fish really well. They sell their items for really good prices. They have big bags of rice. I know that most international people can't live without rice. lol. Here the rice is well-priced and they sell a wide variety of it.
  • Member since September 23 2009 Jasmine best shop in the city! The stylists here are really professional and know what they are doing. Tired of going to unprofessional salons? this is the place for you. They have also been featured in hair magazines such as Hype Hair magazine.They get you in and out as quickly as possible unlike many other places.Some of their prices may be a bit high, but I would say you get what you pay for so it is well worth the price
  • Member since September 23 2009 Jasmine Good bargains! If you are a person that likes vintage clothing, or you just like getting a good deal this is the place for you. This thrift store is neatly organized and they have a wide range of items. If you sign up for their membership card (which is free) you are eligible for some great deals. They have specials every Tuesday!!
  • Member since September 23 2009 Jasmine Fast service! Not only is the food good here, but they cook is fast. You will not be here waiting all day for some mediocre food. The lady who works at the desk is really nice. She likes to make little jokes which are funny. Their egg rolls are the best ever. They also have a vegetarian menu.

Choosing The Right Restaurant

wine glass with flowersWho doesn’t like to go out to eat? Restaurants give a consumer the opportunity to break away from the mundane routine of cooking meals at home. The right restaurant should not only excite you with the culinary prowess, but make you want to return. What makes restaurants the premier spots for consumers? Several factors should be included when choosing the right restaurant.

Ethnicity

Restaurants range from Ethiopian to American to Italian and every country in between. Every nation has its own specialties. Steer away from restaurants claiming to provide authentic cuisine. To truly be authentic, the chefs should have trained in this particular country or their lineage is traced to the country in question. If lineage is traceable, how long have the chefs been cooking in this particular style?

Also be aware of regional ethnic foods. For instance, American food is not the same across the board. Southern barbeque is prepared differently than eastern North Carolina barbeque. The difference is in the sauce.

Restaurant rating

A large percentage of restaurants have been rated. Either online or professional reviews are readily available. Be cautious of generic reviews on restaurants. With the vast information on the internet, someone doesn’t actually have to frequent a restaurant to actually write a review. Look for clues which will lead toward authenticity.

Verify sources as well. Call the restaurant and check if certain dishes are offered. Ask if the décor mentioned in the reviews are accurate. If not, the source is not authentic and shouldn’t be trusted.

Price

Depending on the type of cuisine and the location, a restaurants pricing will vary. If the consumer wants authentic ethnic food in a metropolitan city, chances are the price is going to be in the five star ranges. On the flip side, consumers wanting a value, restaurants which are franchises are more appropriate. Franchises tend to be along the same price structure across the board.

Word of mouth

How does a restaurant thrive? Restaurants generate business initially by word of mouth. If the consumer enjoys the food, they will tell their friends and family. The same is true if consumers have poor experiences in restaurants.

Restaurants are just like every other business. They are providing a service which in turn will generate sales. Choosing the right restaurant is critical to the consumer as well as the restaurant.
