The annual list is determined primarily by user ratings and reviews, with higher-rated restaurants and those with more reviews being prioritized. It also considers geographic distribution and engagement metrics, all evaluated through Yelp’s proprietary algorithm.
What’s trending?: Menya Rui of St. Louis, Missouri, ranked No. 2 overall on the list due to its popular pork shoyu ramen featuring an alchemy of chintan broth and rendered pork fat. “It’s like they gathered flavor from every corner of the universe and poured it into that bowl,” writes one Yelper.
