Mayonaka Sushi
Mayonaka Sushi was in TripAdvisor's Travelers' Choice listing when we pulled it in August 2026: No. 27 on our list, in that listing's order. As of August 2026 it scores 4.9 on Google from 1,833 reviews, against 4.9 on TripAdvisor from 416. Google's sample is 4× larger, so the local read carries more weight here than the traveller one. On our consensus measure they agree 92%: the gap is not a difference of opinion, it is TripAdvisor's smaller sample (416 reviews) being weighted toward the 4.45 baseline. Our stamp: google backs it up. Google's review sample is at least twice TripAdvisor's, and weighted for sample size it does better on Google, relative to TripAdvisor, than the typical winner on this list does.
