Harry's ranked guides for twelve cuisine types across 8 cities. Each list is scored by the Harry Score — a weighted blend of Google, Yelp, Tripadvisor, and critic data. No paid placements. No affiliate links.
Ramen
The bowl will tell you everything. Broth is patience, the noodle is the argument, and the egg is the verdict.
Sushi
Omakase is not the point. The point is whether the rice is seasoned correctly and the fish is at temperature.
Pizza
Style matters less than execution. Neapolitan, New York, Detroit — is the dough interesting?
Italian
Shortcuts show. Italian cooking has nowhere to hide — no sauce heavy enough to disguise mediocre pasta.
Thai
Spice level and authenticity are two different things. Harry requires accuracy, not incapacitating heat.
Mexican
Tacos are a delivery system for flavour, not a vehicle for cheese. Harry cares about the masa.
Brunch
Harry is professionally sceptical of brunch. These restaurants survived his scrutiny.
Steakhouse
Age, source, temperature, resting time, and sides. In that order. The wood panelling is irrelevant.
Chinese
The question is not whether it is authentic — it is whether the kitchen has a point of view.
Indian
The ratio is everything. You can tell within one mouthful whether the spice blend was built or poured from a jar.
Korean
The banchan is the tell. It costs almost nothing and there is no reason not to get it right.
Seafood
Freshness is not optional and cannot be disguised. Harry wants to know when the fish arrived.
