Umami Burger

Loved loved loved the new menu by Alvin Cailian!!! I was so excited to try the new burgers that I totally forgot to take pics of them before I started eating and they are as delicious as I expected!!! I had the Truffle burger and my daughter had the Reggiano both were out of this world good! I am looking so forward to trying each and every burger on the menu, honestly I don't know how I left without taking another one or two of these burgers home with me!? We went to the downtown LA location and what pleasure it was to be able to sit at the bar on a Saturday evening and chat with the staff who are incredibly friendly, such a beautiful location can't wait to return!

I’ve got to show this place some respect. Anyone who would open up a burger joint in the same city as In N Out has got to have guts. That’s the only Kudo I’ll throw them though. I’ve had a better burger experience at Carl’s Jr. I was hoping for something special. It wasn’t here.

Pretty good burgers right in the middle of downtown Los Angeles. Lots of unique choices from your same ole boring burgers which my family really liked. Even get some fun dipping sauces with your meal. The food was cooked to how you want (well, medium rare, etc.). Have good sized kids portions, so even a 14 yr old can get full off a kids menu. Heck, even an adult easily could as well. The food was cooked and to our table in 10 to 15 min. Even choice of buns are not your same old boring standard. The prices are not out of line for what you get in terms of portion size, freshness, quality and value. Granted a family of 4 will run you between $45 - $70 depending on if you get drinks and what drink you chose. They do have a full bar at this location. The area is safe and on the upscale end. Well as good as it can be for Skid Row being within blocks. (I just want to take all those homeless people back to my house and help them it is so sad to see this life). Note: The architecture and historic buildings around the restaurant is amazing, so bring a good camera. I can't believe Los Angeles doesn't do better taking care of their sidewalks.

Thank you Sean for the amazing service I was in a slight hurry and he helped me fast and efficient I enjoyed a 5 star vegetarian impossible burger and was out of there in 20min great service Not the best parking ideally but it’s LA I don’t expect anything different - I was overly impressed with this stop Only ever been here one other time and it was in the airport this place topped it ! I didn’t realize til I got my food I was served truffle fries so if you’re not into truffle or anything just make sure to tell the servers they will accommodate ! Thanks again for a great experience they also had a full bar which was impressive I would come back on a Friday night

Indoor and outdoor seating, wide open feel inside, seating not crowded. They carry the Impossible Burger, a creation from the Impossible company who had mission to make a plant based Burger suitable for meat lovers. For $16 you can get one at Umami. Free refillable fountain drinks - the tropical iced green tea tastes like Lipton but it's non sweetened and is super refreshing on these hot summer days we've been enduring. Piping hot shoe string fries. I ordered the truffled beet salad and added seared ahi tuna. It came with a generous portion of truffled feta cheese that tasted absurdly good with the arugula. Nordy ordered the Manly without mustard. That burger came bursting with fried onions. We got sliders and fries as an appetizer for the table and they brought out sauces for dipping. Dipping sauces here are legit. Garlic aoli as one. An orange colored sauce that is spicy and tangy and creamy as another. A ranch sauce that tasted like it made love to parmesan cheese was their third. And ketchup was also served. You'll pay a little more for a burger here, around $12-$15. But it's super good and the quality of meat is top notch.

I tried ultimate bacon today. It is pretty good, if the meat putter could be more crispy then it would be much better. Shake shack still my no 1 burger without a doubt.

I came on a Friday night with a party of 10, and they were nice enough to accommodate all of us quickly without a reservation somehow. Overall loved the chicken burger I got, I only wished the portion was bigger. Note that sides are additional.

I was looking for a burger place since there aren’t many in DTLA and I happen to find Umami(first time I hear of) while walking. It was my lucky day as well since they were giving free burgers on that day. One my favorite burger places now and will be stopping by when craving a burger. 🙃
