How did Yelp come up with 100 Ramen Spots in California list?
To come up with its rankings, Yelp “identified businesses in the ramen category with a large concentration of reviews mentioning relevant keywords.
The site then ranked those spots based on factors including “the total volume and ratings of reviews mentioning those keywords,” it said.
In the case of restaurants with more than one location, only the spot with the highest ranking was included on the list.
The businesses mentioned on Yelp’s list were open and had passing health scores as of March 1, the site said.
