Japanese Burger Spot Brings Slathered Wagyu Beef Patties and Karaage Sandwiches to OC | Eater LA

"The fast-casual spot at 238 W. Chapman Avenue opened in Old Towne Orange two weeks ago, taking over the space previously occupied by Buttermilk Chicken and serving a blend of American classics and Japanese flavors. The menu is a pared-down evolution of the Ozakis’ original concept, focused on high-quality ingredients: marinated wagyu beef patties, karaage-style fried chicken thighs, and an Impossible patty option for meatless diners, all served on fresh brioche with signature sauces, shredded lettuce, Kewpie mayo and sometimes a fried egg. Snacks and sides include fully loaded fries (topped similarly to the sandwiches), takoyaki and croquettes, while creamy shakes in cookies-and-cream, berries, matcha and ube — with matcha and ube also featured in chewy mochi waffles — round out the desserts. Backed by a group of friends and business partners who spotted a gap for Asian-influenced burgers, the restaurant shares a people-watching patio with adjacent Wahoo’s Fish Tacos, is within walking distance of the nearby multi-deck free parking structure, and is open Sunday–Thursday 11 a.m.–9 p.m. and Friday–Saturday 11 a.m.–10 p.m." - Anne Marie Panoringan
