Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bistrochat Hong Kong at 100% against DiningCity's 41%. Bistrochat Hong Kong also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5). DiningCity's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
