The Telegraph & Argus revealed the best Italian restaurants in the city and surrounding areas and the top curryhouses in February.

We’re continuing the series and up next is all things fried rice, noodles and prawn crackers.

This takes into account the number of reviews, how favourable they are and how old or recent they are.

For example, a restaurant may have a strong average rating but this may be made up of much older reviews and its more recent judgements could be unfavourable which would impact its popularity index rating, and so its ranking compared to other food businesses.

Tripadvisor’s popularity index is updated every week, according to the review website.
