What would you consider to be the most important when choosing a restaurant?

When I was a child, I didn’t have the internet. So most of the time, I just chose a restaurant that was recommended by my parents ,their friends or my neighborhood. It was easy for me to identify if the restaurant was good or not, because at that time there was not so many restaurants like today. But now, I can check the comments on the internet, such as Weibo or Dazhongdianping App. Though saying that, it is far more difficult for me to choose a restaurant quickly like before. I have to spend a lot of time on reading different people’s comments. So if I would like to go to a restaurant, the important aspects I will consider are the type of the cuisine, the price and the convenience of the traffic. And then I will read both five stars and one star comments about the restaurant to ensure if it is valuable for me to eat out.
