Reviews for Umami Burger in Irvine, CA
Good burgers, but not the best in the area. Their single-patty umami burger was overpowered by the cheese slice. The umami... sauce wasn't strong enough to cover the whole bun in my opinion. Sweet potato fries were amazing! Lots of sauceselections! Helpful staff, lots of seating, located in a prime location right across the regal cinema Read more
The place wasn't too busy, maybe 4 tables of people and the rest of the tables open. There were 4 employees in the front of... house as well. We ordered the Umami Burger and The Black Garlic Burger. After we put in the order, the server kind ofdisappeared. We were sitting for a bit and no one went to check on the food. Finally we asked to see if our order is ready andit came out. The burgers were suprisingly much much better than I expected. The burgers were insanely juice and the cheese wasmelted to perfection. I really really liked the food but the service was the complete opposite. We waited about 15 more minutesuntil we flagged down an employee (wasn't our server) for the check. Read more
Our server didn't have a paper to write down our order. We ordered two double burgers. After 15 minutes he came back and asked... again, still no paper and pen! One of the burgers came as single ???? I tried the truffle burger, it was very average Read more
Like many others have said this place was fantastic a few years ago. With top notch and unique burgers. I can say that the food... now compares to fast food quality. A real shame. Read more
Son recommended this place because he know I love a great burger place, he wasn’t wrong. We both had the Black Garlic Burger,... Tots with three cheese stuffed inside and parmesan sprinkled on the outside. Had the Garlic Fries, Sweet Potato and one other.Adrian was our server and made some great recommendations. They make an amazing Bloody Mary here as well. Quick and friendlyservice and lots of room for everyone. Read more
The food is great and our servers are awesome everytime! Shoutout to Brian and the kitchen staff who makes us feel special when... he brings out our order (sorry I didn't get your name). We got the korean burger, sunnyside burger, lettuce wrapped truffleburger, and truffle fries. (I hope I got that right >_<). I took down a star because the truffle fries are no longer what theyused to be (shoestring fries packed with more truffle flavor doused in white cheese and chives). Wish they could bring thatback and this place would be solid for all of us again. We didn't go here for a while grieving the loss of them fries, andoverall just no longer come here as often as we would like. But that could be for the best for our diets anyways so ? Read more
Wasn't too busy at the time. This Umami Burger isn't the same exact quality from what I remember having pre-pandemic. You'd have... to order and pay directly from your phone and it was fairly fast coming out. The burger doesn't taste the same from what Iremember. It doesn't have that same umami meaty taste the oozes flavor. Instead it seemed like a regular burger I can get fromany other burger place. It is a decent place to get something to eat when the other restaurants have long waits but it wouldn'tbe my first choice to go for a burger anymore. But hey, at least the picture I took came out looking good. If it looks good toyou, I can at least say it's edible and filling. Read more
The burguer and the fries are delicious. (I wish they have a salad too). The truffle fries is one of the best I ever ate. The... place is big and clean. Staff is friendly. Read more
