How this score works
The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.
- Burst
- — an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
- Low activity account
- — the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
- Duplicate text
- — the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.
Verdicts are statistical estimates based on public review patterns, not accusations.

My old-time favorite soon tofu restaurant. It has been my go-to restaurant ever since they opened their first one on Western. The food quality is good, and the service is good. My favorite is the kimchi soon tofu with pork. It's the best!

Everything is unbelievably delicious. The stone pot bibimbap is good, and I recommend the LA galbi as well.
