There are two ways to use MSG imo. Either you use it like a salt and add 25% more than you would regular salt. Or you can use it as a spice and add it like you would garlic powder.
Some flavors taste very good when they have an MSG taste but some things do better when it's just an accent. For example, I'll use MSG as a salt when I cook fried rice. However, I use it like a seasoning when I do stuff like fish with lime.
MSG is very good but it doesn't work as well with other non-umami flavors imo. Salt and lime tastes good, MSG and lime needs to favor the lime to come out tasting good.
