There was an Asian high-end buffet here that was very tasty, but the food was barely lukewarm. I went three times, always the same, I stopped going because of that.Bad service does it for me too. There is a restaurant with excellent Mexican food in my community, and it's done so well that it's opened a second restaurant. Whether either one is crowded or empty, the service is lousy, so I've given up.
And I also read the weekly restaurant reports on local news sites. Eventually, you see patterns. One is that Asian restaurant proprietors really, really, really don't understand that hot/cold temps and cross-contamination matter.
The other issue for me is noise level. No matter how good the food, if you have to shout to attempt a conversation, it's not worth it.
I'm with you on noise. That's something where I will give up on a place after only one try.
