Cherry picking:
American Express is no longer a warning sign in these days of Square with 2.6% + 0.10/transaction.
High noise levels are not well correlated with good Chinese or Chinese-American food.
Full bars are common in Chinese restuarants in the US in my experience.
For the missing Thai, it is a good sign if sullen teenagers are sitting on the floor in the kitchen pounding peanuts in a morter.

I loved that excerpt so much I bought the book.
I loved the Filipino pro/con about eating in someone’s house! Always, sometimes just the back porch or garage alley!
