Restaurant reviews

Sokeri-Jussin Kievari is a traditional Finnish restaurant in an old converted barn. The place is located in Pikisaari, an island just in the front of the Oulu city centre.

The fare mixes some international twists to Finnish cuisine. The menu contains, for example, fish, game, meat and mushroom di... More >

Straits is a fusion restaurant with strong influences from Singapore. All Singaporean ethnic specialties are available in the menu. You can either order a appetizers and main meal, or ask several plates for sharing at the same time.

Sushi Oshima is a funny mix of a sushi restaurant and an internet café: the front of the restaurant looks like any cheaper sushi restaurant with soy sauce bottles and Japanese beer ads on the tables, and at the back there is a collection of computers.

The sushi is ok, not fabulously tasty, but f... More >

I have learned during a few last months that the sushi portions in Japanese restaurants in the USA are quite small; the difference to the normal situation is huge, as most portions are simply too much for the uninitiated.

Sushi Rika is an exception to this rule. Both nigiris and rolls have good a... More >

The restaurant is located in one of the more subtle architectural landmarks of Tapiola, U-house. As Tapiola is quite compact, everything is in walking distance, in... More >

Taraval Okazu Ya is a smallish Japanese restaurant with even smaller sushi bar. There are two dining rooms, one facing the street and other on the back of the restaurant. The sushi bar sits roughly ten people and it is a good choice for watching the chefs making sushi.

The food is good and the pr... More >

Restaurant Tempo is a favourite lunch joint for workers in Tapiola. Also women with small babies seem to like the restaurant, maybe due its excellent accessibility. Located on the third floor on Stockmann Tapiola, the restaurant has entrances both inside the department store and outside the building... More >
