TL;DR
Check reviews before visiting any restaurant — mentions of food poisoning are a red flag. Even popular spots like Cilantro have had reported incidents.
A traveler visited Cilantro despite having read recent reports of food poisoning there — only remembering the warning once already seated. The lesson: check reviews before you go, not after.
Expats and locals recommend monitoring community groups and travel forums for recent food poisoning reports — these often name specific restaurants and are more up-to-date than formal review sites.
Even following the rule of avoiding restaurants with poisoning reports isn't foolproof — similar caution didn't prevent illness in Thailand for some travelers. Still, negative food safety reviews remain one of the most useful warning signs when choosing where to eat.
