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 poke bowl ranking — nothing here is a separate or hand-picked figure.
