From tapas in Vegas to Korean BBQ in Charleston, see Yelp's 25 hottest new restaurants
Many count on Yelp to find the best restaurant for any occasion and craving, so why not rely on Yelpers to sniff out the hottest newcomers on the American dining scene?
Yelp, an online service that helps users find restaurants, shops, nightclubs, and other businesses, on Wednesday released its first list of the year’s best new restaurants to make it “easy to find the latest hot spots at home or on the road” and “celebrate the rising stars of the culinary world,” the company said.
From a Michelin-star gastronomic restaurant in Los Angeles to a Korean BBQ spot in Charleston, South Carolina, Yelp users rated and reviewed 25 “must-try” newbies across the country.
A whopping five of the restaurants on the list are in Florida. Four are in California and two are in Las Vegas. One major culinary hot spot, New Orleans, didn't make the cut.
To come up with the list, Yelp identified full-service businesses in the restaurant category that opened after Jan. 1, 2022, then ranked those spots using a number of factors, including the total volume and ratings of reviews posted between January and August 2023. Yelp trend expert Tara Lewis was consulted to locate what spots Yelpers were loving.
