Affiliated dojo — reviews and the dojo's own info point to a recognized Karate style organization or franchise (think Shotokan/JKA, Kyokushin, Goju-Ryu, Isshinryu, Tiger Schulmann's or Villari's). If lineage matters to you, ask which style and organization the dojo belongs to, and under whom the head sensei earned their black belt.

From the reviews
I have been taking Jiu Jitsu for a few months now and I love it. My native language is Spanish and the instructors work well with me ensuring that I understand the drills. My flexibility has improved and I feel great after class.
I have trained with Dr Scott since 2006. His incredibly diverse decades of training and experience provides the premier setting for martial arts. He is able to work with the youngest of participants, maintain a quality focused class, and provide skills far greater than kicks and punches.
Professional, consistent, and welcoming training environment. If your goal is to build confidence, learn how to defend yourself, or improve your physical abilities this dojo will provide that to you and more.
This is a great dojo for low pressure training that isn't focused on making the next belt. I am pleased with how well they adapt to whatever the kids throw at them and meet each of them where they are at.
Your first Karate class at International Karate Association
Nervous about walking into a Karate dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and a good sensei expects beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, punches, and kicks — not hard sparring. Step to the side whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot. What to bring: water, and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi and the belt your dojo awards you. Kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
