OpenRice

It’s totally not useable. Deleted

The overall look and functionality is good and easy to use. My main problem is the criteria for writing a review! I am not a food critic or a professional writer, but this hasn't ever been a barrier to contributing to other apps (ie. Yelp, Urban Spoon). I wrote a short review of a restaurant that stood out as a 5 out of 5 for me and my husband and wrote a super positive review and 5 out of 5 stars in all the categories. A few days later, I got an email stating, "Please avoid submitting a review that feels blank, with no solid description of the food and the overall dining experience. A review is the most useful when it's descriptive and experiential, and offers helpful suggestions". I found it interesting that the criticism I received for being too vague, was also super vague. Like I said, I am not a professional writer and I am sure the majority of the users are not either and I am not going to spend more than 2 minutes on a review so the review criteria should accommodate short, brief, in the moment reviews. As long as the review doesn't give out names of servers or use swears (ie. similar to TripAdvisor) then any review should be posted. Especially if it is a 5 out of 5!! So despite the functionality of the app, the philosophy behind is restricting to use on the fly. Instead I am just going to drop a note off at the restaurant to credit the staff for their work, but that doesn't help spread the word to the broader community.

Plagued with advertisement, difficult to navigate, and some reviews are removed if they are negative. Very biased app. I sense corruption.

I downloaded open rice for the sake of finding restaurants in Hong Kong and after I have came to the point that I started to write an review for a certain restaurant and they did not allow me to post it because they said I am contradicted with the comment from the local newspaper, this is so unprofessional act....

Easy to use and well integrated with map. It would be great to have English translation so I can recommend it to all my friends who are visiting HK as they all love to have eat.

So happy this is available. Most popular for food review. It will be perfect if support offline view or allow to save or bookmark or save my account

It was great for many years. Since the update, it became disaster. Slow, crash, all photo go to error code 502.

Update 完乜圖都load唔到，點睇食咩？

The photos load very long still not appear, the whole app becomes very slow. The app runs badly and used a lot of data. Really rubbish app now, not interested on those reels.

After updated, the app loading is so slow, always showing something went wrong, but previous old version works very very well
