The burger were really tasty as they are unique and different from the typical American Burger . I ordered Truffle fries and it was amazing.. I really enjoyed the thinness of the fries there ;)

Joshua Van Dyk

Seriously creative burgers ! Some of the best and most interesting burgers I have ever had! If you haven't been here yet, I recommend it. Certainly the best burger in Santa Monica.

عُبَدْ ????

Hey there, I am at Umami Burger for the second time that is mean I love it and by I love it I mean I am a fan of it. I recommend to you to try Manly Burger which is the best.

Norman Ellis

While the Umami burger is tasty it's not the best I've ever had. I did enjoy it though. I might have enjoyed the truffled fries more. Finish your meal with a cakewich. They're like gourmet Ring Dings.

the truffle burger with truffle fries & with potatoes & cheese and the onions ring , but I surprised our burgers was cold even we dine in at the outdoor area , not impressed with the patty size & taste.

Santa Monica Burger (Ox Tail ) was pretty good! Ask waiter for their top 3 favorite sauces and dip the burger in it. The jalapeño and garlic aioli sauce +++

Chris Cookson

Bring napkins, burgers are very drippy. Definitely lives up to its name, the food here has an Umami mushroomy sensation. Nice vibes and service, a somewhat upscale burger chain.

Gourmet Burger !!The Black Garlic Double Burger & spicy sauce are so delicious …ice tea was a bit sweet but loved it anyway. glad that they close later than many others..

Luis Zambrano

Truffle burger , Smother 'em fries ... Who am I kidding? Go wild with whatever you want... Bring it on! You can't go wrong here... Enjoy!! (did I mention they have Duvel beer ? Fuck yeah!)

Brian Strauss

First time here. Got the Original. Very good. Unique flavors. Meal was made very special as we were sat next to Robert Downy Jr and his kid. He had the Manly Burger . Now I know what to get next time!

Ken Kabukuru

The different burger patties are made and prepared with attention to detail with great tasting meat and other options. If you love burgers or even if you don't you can't go wrong here.

Truffle Burger was amazing with italian truffle cheese and a truffle glaze. Thin Fries add Aioli sauce . You can try homemade ketchup .

Jamie Lin

Maple bacon fries & truffle fries were both amazing, as is their house umami ketchup

Jaclyn Ortiz

This place is home to the best burger I've ever eaten. I'm so happy I moved to California so that divine truffle burger can be in my mouth more often.

The Umami Burger was the best decision I've ever made. Also the Smushed Potato with Garlic Aoili is amazing. Try the Umami ketchup sauce - tastes like barbeque tomato , yum :)

Alesha U

Eat the ketchup . Load it on each fry. Then ask for more. Also try the Earth Burger . Went here for the first time last night. DELICIOUS. Ps umami burger, if you see this, please sell me your ketchup .

Josiah David Chapman

High-quality and riddled with finesse, the flavors are too experimental and diverse for the average burger lover. My recommendation: take all the sauces on the side and go for a simple burger option.

Sama

Greate service And perfect food. The truffle burger is good but the crispy chicken is the best ????

Shawn Hermes

Try the Triple Pork Burger (with ground pork , chorizo and bacon with manchego cheese & pimento aioli ). And the sweet potato fries ...and tempura onion rings are good too. The only bad is the price.

Holly W.

The truffle fries are awesome. I didn't really like the Umami Burger but the Manly Burger was pretty tasty. If you haven't been to Umami Burger, it may seem kind of hidden so look for Fred Segal.

Anastasia Giorgiova

Get the truffle burger , medium rare, & a glass of the Tempranillo. You're welcome. ;)

Wondering Feet

Always outstanding quality, my favorite is the ahi tuna burger . Their sweet potato fries are amazing!

Robert Rowe

...enjoy a juicy Truffle Burger (with italian truffle cheese and a truffle glaze) with Thin Fries (add Aioli sauce ) on the side! Drink a Hefe Weizenbier as well ... Good Times! Read more

Tony Xerri

I unfortunately had a Truffle Burger that was overcooked when asked for medium rare. The burger itself is full of flavor but you need to get the right temperature. Smushed potatoes are a must!!!

Hui-ern Ng

THERE ARE TRUFFLE BURGERS AND FRIES HERE. but I had the manly burger . The patty is simply amazing ????

Lawrence Nieh

tater tots are the bomb. service is fast and waiters and watresses are friendly and attentive. ask for kat and get the hatch burger .

Lemont Pedley

Noura

Truffle burger is very good, the chicken wings are great.

Danielle Jacobs

Save the ahi sandwich for The Habit, but you can't beat their burgers ! And onion rings !

Chris Donnelly

The best burger in West LA with Father's Office. I go with the specials and I am always happy.

Numwan Wannie

Tempura onion ring is good. I prefer greenbird burger (turkey ) over ahi tuna burger

Sara AlShaker

Best combo: truffle burger , truffle fries and ginger beer . This Umami is way better than the Grove one.

Neo

Gourmet steak burger , forget about the fast food stuff. This is the real thing! Good selection of drinks.

Sigalle Barness

Hatch Burger was by far the best burger I have ever had.

Andreas Seckler

If I say I want to add avocado on my burger , I want avocado on my burger ! I don't care what the Umami seasoning gods have to say about that :D

DTELS LA

Small but delicious selection of veggie side dishes and salads including Brussels sprouts , beet salad , and a yummy macaroni salad ! Read more

Pontus Alexander

The truffle burger is in my opinion the signature Umami burger. An ordinary burger with an extraordinary taste.

Rob W

Get the Maple Bacon Fries ! The best fries I've ever had!

Truffle burger ... Everything. Orgasmic! Creaming in my panties and squealing with delight in every bite.

Christine D.

Truffle burger , umami burger, thin fries and smushed potatoes are the way to go.

DJ ????????

Excellent burgers with quality ingredients. Can't go wrong with truffle cheese fries .

Yacine Baroudi

Do the original if you haven't yet. The shiitake mushrooms and roasted tomatoes are excellent complements.

Salem S.

I tried Truffle burger and it's delicious.

Pontus Alexander

Don't be deterred by the shut down demeanor of the address. The entrance is actually on 5th Street across Fred Segal parking lot 300 ft. away.

Tiffany Prugpichailers

Truffle burger is the way to go. Their skinny fries are also crispy and delicious!

Patty Bautista

Truffle burger highly recommended; great veggie burger , too! For dessert , try Milk 's Salted Caramel ice cream sandwich ... or any of the ice cream sandwiches . *yummy*
