Bangkok's Haoma secured the "Sustainable Restaurant Award." A new entry to the extended list, the restaurant ranked No. 90 on the 51-100 ranking. It also won the award for its "farm-to-table and zero-waste cooking [and for] producing its own ingredients using hydroponics and sourcing locally from organic farms," according to the 50 Best organization.

The list is based on the subjective reviews of more than 300 industry insiders from Asia, according to the 50 Best organization. Voters can nominate up to 10 restaurants, including seven from their own country.

Judges are divided into six regions — the Indian subcontinent; Southeast Asia (south); Southeast Asia (north); Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macao; mainland China and Korea; and Japan — in an effort "to represent the Asian restaurant scene as fairly as possible," according to the organization's voting methodology.

The 50 Best organization also produces an annual ranking for "Asia's 50 Best Bars," which was topped by Hong Kong's Coa in 2023.
