We’re just a neighborhood burger joint. Nothing more, nothing less. We set out to make hamburgers, and wanted them to taste good. Novel idea, right? We figured if our recipes were simple and we used only the best ingredients, you’d get crisp textures, pure flavors, and a burger that’s refreshingly uncomplicated. Turns out, that’s the best way to create a bunch of different meals.

We strive to conceptualize, through our menu, the origins of the food truck boom. Continuously elevating and creating unique culinary interpretations, resulting in a refined and more demanding experience among Burger loving Monsters. With a significant focus on freshness and quality, Burger Monster sought to hand craft each burger. Using all-natural Angus Chuck beef, sweet-buttery brioche buns baked each morning, our own salt and pepper blend, and each sauce made from scratch, Burger Monster achieves the standards of quality our guest deserve.

The Umami Burger first dropped on Los Angeles in 2009, immediately becoming a must-try burger and positioning itself firmly on the city’s best restaurant lists, and the nation’s best burger lists. Since then, San Francisco, Chicago and New York have been Umamified, with 24 locations spanning the nation. In early 2017, we opened our first international location, bringing Umami Burger to the home of umami itself, Japan, with additional locations on the way.
