Aroy Mak Thai Food in Seattle ranked highest, coming in at No. 7 overall, thanks to its mouthwatering Thai dishes. Paju in Seattle and Side Piece Kitchen in Tacoma also represented Washington on the list, ranking No. 74 and No. 76, respectively.
Here's what Yelp had to say about determining which restaurants made the list:
"To determine Yelp's Top 100 Places to Eat in 2025, Yelp's data science team starts by using the date generated from our community submissions. We considered both the rating and the volume of the reviews, while accounting for the overall restaurant activity in each business's area. From the candidate restaurants, we narrowed the list down with the expertise of our community managers and Trend Expert to curate a list as quirky, interesting, and unique as the Yelp community itself."
