No ranking moves of 2+ places since the last snapshot — the current order held steady.
We machine-scan the community discussions (Reddit threads and food guides in the search index) for each venue's name, then blend: community mentions 70% (mentions ×10, 'the best' superlatives ×6, normalised) + Google review strength 30% (rating above a 3.8 baseline, weighted by review volume). Global fast-food and dessert franchises are excluded. This page is auto-mined; flagship pages get hand curation on top.
Scores and review counts on this page are computed at build time from the exact same dataset that powers the live pho ranking — nothing here is a separate or hand-picked figure.
