I'm very wary about their terms and conditions (see excerpt below). It is not their duty to keep this correct and they have the ability to alter the information as they see fit.

Not really very useful right now. It's not very useful right now since the majority of listings are not categorized. They should allow users to make updates to business information instead of forcing the business owners to do this. Yelp is super simple to use and I can't really see this site every being up to the same usability.

Woefully inaccurate listings. While Minh's -- which closed over a year ago -- is listed, Xanh -- one of downtown's busiest restaurants -- is missing. Yikes.
