QueenFork and the Case Against Average Ratings
SOONSOO presents QueenFork, a restaurant-discovery service that matches diners through shared tastes rather than popularity scores.
Field notes
QueenFork replaces conventional star ratings with binary Love it or Meh choices, optional taste keywords, and comparisons between shared likes, shared dislikes, and discovery patterns. SOONSOO also describes a review-composition layer that turns selections such as crispy fried coating and sour sauce into a sentence, plus group recommendations that compare friends’ or families’ preferences. The homepage says its Sync95 score measures taste distance rather than AI accuracy, while broader applications beyond restaurants remain a stated direction.
