Same stars, different scores. Why?
Score = (v / (v + m)) × R + (m / (v + m)) × C. Ottawa-area average: C = 4.326470588235294; m = 200. R is the recorded Google rating; v is the recorded review count. Confidence is v / (v + m), the rating’s weight in the score.

Questions
Is MJ POKE & ROLL really ahead of Izakaya Kobachi?
Only on paper. Both score 4.71 with a 4.9 rating; the gap is under a thousandth of a point and comes down to one review. Go with whichever is closer to you.
How does Sushiyana compare with the top two?
Sushiyana Coréen et Japonais scores 4.68 with a 4.8 rating and 561 reviews. Its larger review count gives it more confidence (74% versus 67%), but the slightly lower rating keeps it 0.04 points back.
Why aren't Sushi Shop or Bento Sushi ranked?
Both are chains with 10 or more locations in Canada, so their counters were left out. Many Bento Sushi locations also had under 10 reviews. Sushi Taxi was left out for the same chain reason.
