Reviews are here: rate the dishes you order
Rate and review individual dishes and restaurants on Nearbites, see star breakdowns at a glance, and read owners' replies.
A photo tells you what a dish looks like. Now the people who ordered it can tell you how it tastes. Nearbites has reviews: star ratings and short write-ups for individual dishes and for restaurants, from diners who have been there.
Rate the dish, not just the restaurant
Most review sites rate a restaurant as a whole, so one great main and one tired side end up as the same three and a half stars. On Nearbites you can review the exact dish you ordered. Open any dish, like a bowl of ramen or a plate of dumplings, and you'll find its own rating, its own reviews and the photos that show you what turns up at the table.
Restaurants have reviews too, for everything that isn't about one plate: the service, the room, how long the wait was.
How to write a review
- Pick a rating from one to five stars, from "Not good" to "Amazing".
- Say what stood out in a few lines: the broth, the crunch, the portion, the price.
- Tick "I ate this" if you had the dish yourself, so others know your review comes from the table.
You need a free Nearbites account to post. You can review each dish and each restaurant once, and edit or delete your review whenever you like.
See the whole picture at a glance
Every dish and restaurant page shows its average rating, how many people reviewed it and how the stars break down, so you can see at a glance whether a 4.5 is a crowd favourite or one enthusiastic visit. Sort the reviews by newest, highest or lowest rated, and read on until you've decided.
Restaurants can reply
Restaurant owners will be able to reply publicly to reviews of their restaurant and its dishes once they've claimed their listing on Nearbites, whether that's to say thanks, answer a question or explain a change to the menu. Their reply appears right under the review, marked as coming from the restaurant.
Keeping it honest
If a review is spam, abusive, fake or not about the food, use Report on the review. Our team looks at every report and removes reviews that break the rules, and removed reviews stop counting towards the rating.
