There is no single most reliable kosher symbol.
In Israel the top symbols generally carry the word "mehadrin" מהדרין on them. (The best include Eidah Chareidis and Agudas Yisroel of Jerusalem, Rabbi Landau, Chasam Sofer, Rechovot and Tzfat mehadrin).
In the USA, the best are U inside a circle, K inside a circle, K in a star, CRC, CHK and "Chof" K.
COR of Canada is a reliable kosher certification, as well as Kedassia or KLBD of London , BD of South Africa and KA in Australia.
There are hundreds of kosher supervising agencies around the world, each with its own symbol. Some are local. Three national ones that are considered reliable are the OU, a capital U in a circle. The OK is a capital K with a circle, and the Star K is a star with a K inside.

What does the kosher food symbol look like?
Kosher symbols are the signs on food packaging or eating establishments that show the food is kosher. A kosher symbol will carry a name of a recognized rabbi or kosher inspection agency. When a kosher customer goes shopping, he/she will look out for those signs to know what to buy. Different places have different kosher symbols, so you often need to check with the locals to know what's reliable. Some well-known symbols include: USA- "OK" an O with a K inside, "OU", "Star K" a star with a K inside, "Chaf K" a backwards C with a K inside, CRC (Chicago) in a triangle, "CHK" a large C with HK inside and a crown on the C, "KAJ" UK- "Kedassia" (London), MK in a circle, "KLBD", Australia- Kosher Australia (K in an Oz map), Melbourne Kosher Canada- MK in a circle, COR in a circle. South Africa- "BD" in a diamond. And, of course, a host of Israeli symbols. You really need to know what's what in Israel, because there are a few unreliable symbols floating about. Please note that a plain "K" is never a genuine kosher symbol.
