Strange times to even publish a list like this since a number of them have pivoted to takeout, let alone Michelin, James Beard etc etc…but I guess the show must go on…

Yeah it’s a list…not too far off from some of the other ones. Here, certain individuals have a lot of voting power hence the ranking.

Southern California ones I noted:

  1. Somni
  2. Dialogue
  3. Vespertine
  4. Urasawa
  5. Taco Maria
  6. Sushi Zo
  7. Hayato
  8. Angler LA
  9. n/Naka
  10. Providence
  11. Yamakase
  12. Totoraku
  13. Orsa & Winston
  14. Kato
  15. Maude
  16. Trois Mec
  17. Q Sushi
  18. Shibumi

I was reading and either thinking “duh” or “never been there” until I got to Oya in Boston, which I do not agree with. Geographical diversity?

Oh weird I typed in the numbers according to the ranking … but it reformatted the numbers afterwards :rage:

Ohshima is on the list

What can I say, like I said a few people who have more influence than others voted as well do their voices hold more weight. The top SoCal reviewer is in Santa Monica.
