Personalization starts fast, then gets better the more you signal what you love.

Heart what you love

Hearting is the fastest way to teach Umamii your taste. A few hearts goes a long way.

Share a few quick reviews

A handful of quick reviews adds context and boosts confidence. It helps your feed feel uniquely yours.

Follow trusted voices

Follow friends, chefs, and insiders you trust. Your feed starts to reflect the opinions that matter to you.

Adjust influence levels

Fine-tune your recommendations by adjusting influence levels for the people you follow and the review sites we include.

Choose the sources you care about

Care about Michelin or Toronto Life? Tell us what matters and we’ll prioritize those signals more.

Save spots for later

Bookmark places you want to try so you have a short list ready. It makes deciding faster next time you go out.

Browse your way

Some days you want to scroll. Some days you want “near me.” Some days you just want an answer.

List view

Great for discovering restaurants tailored to you, or narrowing down with filters like Korean BBQ in Downtown Vancouver.

Map view

Perfect when location matters and you want to see what’s best around you on the go.

Ask Umamii AI
