I had been wanting to try Umami Burger for years and finally made the trek to the Anaheim Packing house district and gave it a shot. As has been mentioned by many reviews, service is amateurish at best and inattentive at worst. However the food is the star, cheesy potato tots are highly recommended. The togarashi fries are excellent if you like spicy fries. The dipping sauces are a nice variety of different flavors for your fries. The burgers are not typical Americana and are very tasty! The place would have gotten five stars had service been on par with the high prices but unfortunately they need to improve the guest experience. I will be back but it's more of an occasional indulgence than a regular spot in my book.
Had a good first experience. Only negative was that the chairs were awful, they were so uncomfortable. Mango lemonade smoothie was really good. The onion rings were amazing! Light and crispy. French fries were good. Fried pickles were good but really over salty. Salad was fresh and yummy. Resturant was modern and fun inside.
It’s decent burgers and fries. Very helpful, friendly wait staff! Parking can be challenging if you don’t valet and are competing with Packing District patrons for spaces, so show up earlier! Four stars for fried pickles alone, I love to see them and eat them wherever I find ‘em.

We tried this place for the first time and we enjoyed it . The menu is not huge but there is more than enough choices for everyone to find something to eat. What we all felt was the other menu items not the hamburgers were the stars of the meal. The hamburger was good but I can find better at the habit burger chain at less cost. The staff was excellent and friendly very helpful. They have a late night happy hour with great deals so definitely try that.
TL;DR
I would suggest a reservation if you want to dine inside. We didn't need one but we got lucky.
Burgers are the perfect size and absolutely delicious!! I got the bacon burger.
Fries were out of this world with the beer cheese !!
Waitress was amazing!!!
Thank you so much this was such a great surprise and glad we choose this !!
MY FANCY REVIEW WHERE I PRETEND TO BE A FOOD CRITIC.
Visiting wife's side of the family here in Cali all the way from Florida.
After going to Disney brother in law wanted burgers for his birthday and I just typed burgers and this was the first place that came up.
Walking in I'm already happy to see a picture of Louise from Bob's burgers. And the inside is super chill and cozy. We were greeted by our waitress I want to say Leena ? I'm so sorry if I got the name wrong. But she was very informative about the menu. And she was very attentive with refills and checking in on us. She ended our meal with a birthday candle in the dessert and we had an absolute blast.
Wow!!!! Amazing Burgers!! And by far the BEST sweet potato fries I have EVER had!! Great and friendly service as well! Loved it and will definitely be back as there are more yummy burgers on their menu I HAVE to try!! Finished up with a delicious salted caramel shake that you can spike with some alcohol if you choose, which is a neat option you don't see often!
Decided to go here over roscoes and could not be happier with the decision. Food was fresh hot and delicious. The service was great and it was a well balanced friendly atmosphere. We came in late after Disney and the late night happy hour was a greet deal. $3 truffle fries.....yes please. Our server was so helpful and friendly. I apologize for not remembering her name(black hair bangs and a pony tail)We will come back next time we are in town!!
Delicious, fresh burgers and chicken sandwiches. We ordered the onion rings and cheese tots, they were Bomb. The jalapeno ranch and aioli dipping sauces were tasty. Bacon burger was not big but delicious and the sams chicken sandwich is the way to go. Great service. We will return!
Fantastic burgers and fries. More on the gourmet side with unique combinations and toppings. We ordered the Truffled Beet Salad (amazing). Also got the Sunny Side burger with the sunny Side up egg (delicious) and the loaded short rib fries with truffle cheddar sauce. Highly recommend anything on the menu.
Service: exquisite
Food: excellent
Drinks: excellent
Price:$$
If you've haven't heard about this new thing called the IMPOSSIBLE BURGER then you're gonna hear it hear. Apparently it's this vegan burger that Cooks and bleeds like a real burger, and tastes like a real beef burger. It's here at Umami, as a meat-a-tarian, this passes the test and I'm here to say it LE-GIT. Here at Umami they do it right!
I ordered a Cali burger and cheesey tots and had a bite of my wife's Impossible Burger. Also, I do have to admit that the crispy brussel sprouts were amazing as well.
Shout out to the service crew there because they were super accommodating with my 5 month old niece as we sat out side, they hooked us up with 2 heaters. Our waiter was fast, efficient, and best of all super polite!
Oh, but parking is horrible because it was on a Friday night about 8pm and Umami parking is shared between the Anaheim Packing District and other businesses.
Food was good but pricy, 2 burgers and 1 order of fries (no drinks) cost me $26 but atleast the food was good. I'll definitely come back to try another burger. FYI parking can be difficult to find. I recommend to park across the street. The restaurant is located on the main st
It's a different atmosphere from La Umami. I think Umami is the best of many hamburgers :) The staff was kind and fantastic. I ordered umami burgers, truffle burgers and truffle fries.
One of our favourite Umami Burger locations. Parking can be hard because it's the Packing District. Ample seating, indoor and outdoor. Full bar, with rotating beers on tap. Vegetarian options are delicious! The Umami Impossible Burger is the best veggie burger around. Loved the Impossible Truffle Maker, and the Impossible Vegan BBQ burgers. Favourite meat burgers are the Truffle Burger, Ultimate Bacon Burger, and the Royale Burger. Cheesy Tots, Truffle Fries, and Sweet Potato Fries are great. Make sure to get the horse success on the side. They also have excellent accommodations for a person who hates sauce: Cali Burger with no sauce or additional things, and add a fried egg. Very accommodating, always excellent service here, great bar staff, and a fun, relaxed vibe.

This place was so good we came back twice. The UFO is a must have desert. It's definitely not as sweet as I thought it would be. These burgers I'd say are top 5 burgers I've ever had. Definitely a dining highlight of our trip
Such a pleasant experience eating here for our first time even during these challenging times finding the right place to eat with family including our fur babies!
Vising from Las Vegas and we highly recommend this place! Excellent food selections, atmosphere & superb customer service. Special thanks to Maggie for making us feel welcomed when other restaurants nearby was turning us away because we had our dogs.
Salute to the entire Umami team!
Five Star experience! We were looking for something special and unique. Well we found it! The atmosphere is trendy and comfortable. The service was excellent! Then there’s the food....out of this world!
We shared some maple bacon fries for the table as an appetizer. So good!!! They didn’t even need any dipping sauce, they were that good! But then the dipping sauces brought to the table were incredible! A bbq sauce, a garlic sauce, and a jalapeño ranch. The star dipping sauce for us was the house made ketchup, which contained truffle oil. Mind. Blown.
I had the original umami burger and was not disappointed. So savory! The meat was moist and delicious. The Parmesan frico, so crisp. The bun so soft in just the right way.
I paired my burger with some thin cut fries and chose to “truffle ‘em”. They came with a truffle cheese fondue and chives. Just to die for, especially paired with the house ketchup!
I am so glad we found this place! We will definitely be back in the future!
This is our first visit here and we will definitely come back. I had the Manly Burger and Manly Fries!! WOW so much flavor in the burger and the fries are addicting! For Desert we shared the salted caramel ice cream sandwich, again amazing flavor!! We talked with Kevin who is the manager and he was such a cool guy! Great vibe and great food. So if you are in Anaheim and looking for a great Burger stop in and say hi to Kevin and enjoy one of their many many many burgers!!!
