About Repeat Reviews

Hi, I'm Matt Yang. I used to work as a line cook, I now work in tech, I live in Los Angeles, and I've kept every restaurant receipt since 2019.

Most restaurant reviews are written after one visit. That tells you whether a place had a good night. It doesn't tell you whether it's good. The third visit tells you more than the first: whether the dish you loved is still the same, whether prices crept up, whether the kitchen holds up on a busy Friday.

So Repeat Reviews does the opposite of a one-visit review. Every restaurant page is a running history of my actual visits, newest first, each one tied to a real receipt and my own photos. I do the same thing at home: when I cook a dish, I try different online recipes for it and track which one actually works.

How it works

• Every visit is real. Each review is tied to a dated receipt. No receipt, no review.
• Every meal is paid for. No comped meals, no sponsored posts, no invitations.
• Consistency is the score. After two or more visits, each restaurant gets a consistency rating based on how much my ratings varied between visits.
• AI helps, I decide. I use AI to turn receipts, photos and notes into a first draft. I edit every review and nothing is published until I approve it. Read the full editorial policy.
