"You just watched a preschooler vomit rainbow sherbet into a water fountain, and suddenly, you’re feeling nostalgic. Time to head to HiHo for a classic American cheeseburger. This local fast-casual chain serves a very straightforward burger (bun, lettuce, onion, pickles, meat, and cheese) that hardly tastes ordinary. With quality toppings and patties made from mustard-grilled wagyu beef, this is a balanced burger that’s still one of our favorites in the city." - brant cox
"HiHo’s Marina del Rey location overlooks the water with casual indoor seating, along with burgers and a fried chicken sandwich collaboration with Willie Mae’s Scotch House from New Orleans. Always order the house made pies, and parking is available in the boardwalk lot." - Eater Staff
"Hiho isn’t doing anything profoundly different with their burgers, which is exactly why we love this order-at-the-counter spot in Santa Monica. The bun is squishy, the double patties taste like the grill, the cheese and onions get all over your hands, and there’s only a tiny bit of lettuce involved." - brant cox
"The quality at HiHo is hard to match. Here, grass-fed New Zealand wagyu beef is served as a default double with onion jam, pickles, and plenty of lettuce. The patties are mustard-grilled a la In-N-Out, and adding pastrami is always an option. Fries here are thicker than the average shoestring, without going into steak fry territory, and can be topped with pastrami, cheese, and spicy slow-cooked onions. If the Studio City location isn’t convenient, HiHo also slings its burgers in Santa Monica, Marina Del Rey, and Mid-Wilshire. What to order: The classic HiHo Double, topped with ketchup, mustard, slow-cooked onions, pickles, and cheese" - Eater Staff
