  1. Rank 1. Motonobu Udon

    Japanese Noodle Shop

    A bright, buzzy udon shop on East Hastings where the noodles are handmade and cut to order, which you can watch happen before your bowl arrives. Go hot or cold, classic or specialty, and don't skip the add-ons, because a pile of tempura on top is basically the whole point. The staff will improvise if nothing on the menu fits. A Michelin Bib Gourmand, which in a room this casual and affordable feels almost cheeky.

  7. Rank 7. Fat Mao

    Thai Noodle Shop

    The nham ngeaw, a tomato broth tangled with pork ribs, vermicelli, and dried red cotton tree flowers, is the kind of bowl that makes you question why you ever eat anything else. Fat Mao is a noodle shop in Chinatown serving Thai-style soups in a no-fuss room where the food does all the work. Chef Angus An keeps the menu tight and the broths deeply considered, which is a polite way of saying this place is far more serious than its vibe lets on.

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
