Score
Tyummi has been inspected 10 times since 2022. The most recent visit was on Dec 8, 2025. The medium risk tier sits in the middle: not spotless, but not alarming either.
Recent inspections have turned up roughly the same number of issues each time, hovering near six violations per visit.
The pattern that stands out is “nonfood-contact surface soiled with grease”, which has been cited five times.
Compared to other Gainesville restaurants (averaging 75), there's room to close the gap. The inspection history reads as standard for a restaurant of this size.
