These restaurants had undergone a four-phase selection process that considers public opinion and rigorous reviews by a panel of uncompromising food critics. The selection process calls on voters, judges and jury members to consider the following: (1) the quality of the food served; (2) the ambience of the restaurant; and (3) the level of service offered, finally, selectors are asked to consider the tastes of Asian diners in casting their vote."
