Tabelog.com, the Japanese user-generated restaurant review site, recently unveiled a renewed version of the site completely rewritten in Ruby on Rails. The site has roughly 3.8 million visitors per month (tripling visitors since last year) and roughly 29 million pageviews per month. Since first appearing on the scene in March 2005, Tabelog has attracted roughly 290,000 user-generated reviews coupled with a high-quality 5-star review algorithm that quickly attracted users.
The rewrite makes Tablelog the largest live Rails site in Japan. The development team decided on the rewrite after assessing the opportunity for reduced amount of code, a better separation of MVC, and faster development of market-driven features. The completely rewritten site successfully passed the transition test after going live over the weekend (10/19 to 10/22).
