Best Sushi
in Vancouver.

Comments are read across platforms and rating bands for repeated, specific themes. Duplicated language, solicitation patterns, thin listicles and identity confusion are discounted.
The final order reflects the category-specific signals that matter for this decision, checked against identity, local fit, consistency and evidence quality. Exact weighting and private screening remain proprietary.
