Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The old Umami closed a while ago, as the owner moved to new things. But happily new enterpreneurs took over the restaurant, and I had heard good things about their sushi. Finally I was able to visit and try some – vegan version for me. The small stall at the Markethall was packed with customers so I had to wait a while. I ordered a mid-sized platter (15 sushis). The vegan selection was simple: cucumber, avocado and inari. There are several places nowadays in Finland that offer high-end sushi with diverse ingredients also in vegan sushis (two in Tampere!), but Umami has always been about the quality of the rice and the craftmanship, about simplicity. I was not disappointed: everything tasted wonderful, and they have excellent house ginger, much better than the pickled one. Of course some pumpkin, mushroom, bell pepper etc. would have been nice, but simplicity works very well for me.

Excellent sushi! Taste is so maximum premium. There are only a few seating places, so that’s a little shortage. The reataurant fits perfectly among other legendary places in the market hall.

Had lunch with my wife and our son (less than 10y). Finished our lunch. I didn't eat 2 pieces of sushi and my wife didn't eat 1 piece. The chef/owner started talking to us in the most disrespectful way. He was angry that we didn't finish the dishes. "You are horrible people" "Leave now", "I never want to see you here again". I didn't even say anything because I was in shock about his behaviour. When I told him that we were full and that how can he talk to us in such a way his answer was "you don't deserve politeness". All of this he said in front of a text which he had written on the wall of his restaurant "politeness is my religion". And to top it all of he showed me his middle finger, all in front of my wife and son. By far the worst customer service experience in my life! This all happened on the 24th of August 2021 at 2pm. Horrible! Just horrible!

Must say; BEST SUSHI ever! We ate medium size lunch plate and that was plenty. Loved especially grilled salmon nigiri with an exiting "sauce" on top.

Incredible, fresh delicious sushi. Highly recommend. Chefs choose style sushi bar, sit down, and order 10, 15 or 18 pieces and enjoy.

The best sushi in Tampere! Nice and cozy place with great service. As it is a small place, it can be full during lunch time.

Excellent lunch & fast service This is a brilliant (best in town) small sushi restaurant at market hall in city centre. Flavors of sushi's were now and have always been good. Prices vary from 10-18€, depending on your selection of portion size (small, medium, big). Place is quite booked, so remember that and be on time for lunch, once the ingredients are finished (rice), they might close a bit earlier.

Only a few seats, but worth the wait if its packed. Best sushi in town. Small and cozy place. Remember to also ask whether they have miso soup ready, they don't always serve that.

This small sushi restaurant is located in the market hall and that is why there are only a few seats. Hope you can visit and find a seat cause the sushis are fresh and delicious. Best quality ingredients. The choise has been made easy for you because there are only three different sizes of portions. Small, medium and large. The cook will then surprise you with the selection. You only tell your allergies. I just love the place ❤️

By far the best sushi I've had in Tampere. You only get to choose size of your portion and the chef will make your dish using fresh ingredients available at that moment in market hall. And of course you can ask if you have any specific wishes.

It's so full of taste. As others have already written the idea is you order a sushi set (small, medium or large), pay accordingly (15 EUR for the largest) and get a wooden plate full of beautifully served tastiness. The chef prepares the food just behind the bar, where you can see the whole process. It is a tiny place in an old marketplace building: you really have to squeeze if you come with a larger group (more than 2 people).

This place is amazing. I stumbled upon it in the market hall while I was browsing - tiny little place with maybe 10 seats around a counter. You order by size of plate with no choice of what you get (small £10, medium £15, large £20). It is probably the best sushi I’ve ever had, and I’ve been to Japan. I was in Tampere for a week and went there four times. Go early, as they close when they sell out and even at 11 am the place was busy. I’m feeling nostalgic just thinking about this place, so please do go and enjoy!

Umami is located in the Kauppahalli, with little wandering you'll find small place (16 seats maybe) and two person working behind the counter. Prices are 10 for small, 15 medium and 18 large if I remember right. Sushi is made before your eyes and it's pleasure to watch. Prepare to wait for awhile for your order though chef is fast. Place opens at 11 and when I was there at 13:30 they closed because they had served all their portions. Go there and gind out what real sushi should taste like. Even the rice is amazing. I was little doubtful about the restaurant because other reviewers gave so high praises. But I was happy to notice that praises weren't there without the reason. I'll be making this my must-go place when I am in Tampere.
