"For a more refined experience, ask for the off-menu 5 Spice Duck Burger, a subtler but exceptional composition of ground breast and leg topped with chutney and roasted fennel." Read more

Get the Monte Cristo-inspired Burger, which consists of a custard soaked, deep-fried bun filled with Gruyere fondue. It comes with a side of maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar. Read more

Be prepared to wait a little longer than the average burger joint, but it is worth it. Really interesting flavors that all work. Sunnyside is amazing!

Love the meat and even order it rare, but can y'all put a simple fuckin normal cheeseburger with lettuce-tomato-onion on the menu? Tired of the tryhard fancy BS, the burger can stand on its own

Tried the truffle burger and the Sunny side burger. Both were juicy and delicious. The Parmesan and the arugula made the sunny side burger exceptionally delicious. The truffle fries were a bit salty.

Tried the sunny side burger and the umami burger; the sunny side won it for me. Onion rings and brussel sprouts sides are great. I like the ambience, although service was a little slow.

We couldn't be happier that one of our favorite West Coast burger chains is finally here in New York! Get the truffle burger or the five spice duck burger with a side of the cheesy tater tots.

The truffle burger exceeds the considerable hype. Shake shack and burger joint step aside. Great fries and beers on tap, too. And all reasonably priced ($12 burgers) for the wvillage.

The Umami original is a good burger. A great bun and fun toppings. No sauces required (which is good because they don't have Heinz). . Also do your table a favor and GET THE ONION RINGS

First timer. It's worth the hype. Try the truffle burger and fries. The thin fries are so good and crispy! Sweet potatoes is so so, too much cinnamon and sugar for my liking. Worth a try.
Justin KadisJuly 29, 2013
Order "The Original" med. rare. The smash technique produces a crispy exterior and juicy inside. The parmesan crisp, shiitake mushroom, roasted tomato, & caramelized onions make every bite umami!

I ordered the Truffle Burger and it was delicious! My friend order the Manly Burger and a couple of fries. It was all delicious. Not a fan of their Japanese wings though.
Max BpmNovember 9, 2014
The Manly Burger is a beast on its own, with its full flavor, bacon lardons, you can't go wrong with this burger, order it medium rare for the full Umami experience

20 foot extension chord outside powers an iPad mini which populates rotating excuses why your table isn't ready. When/if your table is ready, go w/ a group. try every burger. Get a personal trainer.

Your to-eat list just got longer and more calorie-filled now that those evil geniuses have unveiled donut ice cream sandwiches made with goodness flown in directly from L.A. Creamery and Stan's Donuts Read more

The sunny side burger really brightened my day. The maple bacon old fashioned was different but surprisingly pretty good. Definitely try if you are looking for something unique.

Truffle fries and truffle burger is so yummy and for sure the caleb's kola 😋👍🏻
Lauren SmithOctober 2, 2015
Delicious but it's a bummer they reveal the insane calories of each burger on the menu. Got the GreenBird turkey burger and it was well worth it.
David RiveraAugust 3, 2013
Everything they say about it being the same as ur 1st Shack experience is true. Prices are diff but so is the experience. The staff is on point & def takes care of its customers. Worth $40. Worth it.

Abundantly juicy, beautifully crusted, and super-meaty. The recent limited-edition run of the José Andrés pork burger with ham, Manchego, and piquillo-pepper confit pretty much knocked our socks off.

There are millions of burgers in the world. Most wallow in the pit of mediocrity, and from a distance admire the paragon that is Umami Burger. They are perched loftily on the mount of greatness. DOPE.
Mike WinstonSeptember 12, 2013
Get the Truffle Burger. I absolutely love this combination of roasted garlic aioli, melty house truffle cheese, and truffle glaze on a quality burger. Read more
Fernanda NeuteFebruary 7, 2017
The TRUFFLE and the SUNNY SIDE are my favorites. The truffle fries are good, but I always ask for the truffle cheese on the side because it gets dry as soon as it reaches the table.
Alex RainertNovember 18, 2013
Behold The Manly Burger- cheddar, bacon lardons, onion strings. I wish it came with a stack of postcards to send to all my friends and be like "Get on a plane and come get this burger now! Love, Alex"
Chris SympsonAugust 13, 2014
Manly burger is amazing! The staff has also been really friendly each of the 4 times I've been here. Every now and then they'll have a special burger which is also always good!
Christian AaronAugust 15, 2013
Amazing! Definitely try the Truffle Burger with a side of Truffle Fries. Also don't forget to ask your waiter about the three different types of sauces!
Anthony ReyesMarch 26, 2015
This is honestly one of the best Ahi Tuna Burgers I have ever had! Get the truffle Fries and the sweet potato fries to go with it.. speciality cocktails are on point.
Olivia BJuly 31, 2013
Incredible burgers--juicy and delicious. I tried the Hatch and the truffle burger, and the truffle burger won that match. The sides are ok, as are the sauces...but the burgers are simply outstanding.
Jane KimAugust 2, 2013
Caesar salad was surprisingly good. Cheesy tots (which are off the menu) should be shared. Sweet potato fries are non-greasy, yet crisp. Ask for the dipping sauces (you only get them on request).
Evan ChenAugust 9, 2014
Try their Truffle Burger with Truffle Fries...you won't regret it! Also make sure to ask them for their different kind of sauces!
Christianna GiordanoFebruary 4, 2016
Try the sunny side up burger - truly delicious. The Unami burger was good, but not even close to as good as the sunny side. Highly recommend the onion rings!
Erika ArreaJuly 17, 2016
Best of the best! Sunny side medium rare! Antoine super nice with everybody! Best truffle fries! Sliders for the kids!
Sleepy BrowneFebruary 22, 2016
The Umami Burger was quite tasty and the maple bacon fries was exceptionally good.The Brooklyn Lager added a nice touch to my meal.
ChrisAugust 4, 2013
Amazing burger. The meat just melted in my mouth and the bun was like a pillow. But, the Bloody Mary drink is not your traditional Bloody Mary. Be forewarned unless you love garlic!
ℳansour αℓтαууαrJanuary 22, 2015
It is not your every day burger, juicy and rich and made to meet your preference. Truffle is unique on their menu, truffle burgers, truffle fries, truffle sides.
Jess WilliamsAugust 22, 2014
First time? Go with the classic umami burger and split an order of fries. Branch out to other options after you appreciate the original.
Indulgent EatsAugust 10, 2013
Truffle burger is amazing, as is the duck. Cheesy tots were bland and disappointing for $5, like they forgot to season. Wait staff was super nice though! Much thanks for the free beer

Been here 50+ times
Truffle Fries are too heavy and cheesy, but sweet potato fries are yummy with its sweet salt; New k-BBQ burger tastes great with the right amount of heat !
JDecember 22, 2015
Do yourself a favor and trufflize everything; burger and fries! The yumminess from the very 1st bite!
Anne TaillandierJuly 30, 2013
Stick.To.The.Original! Truffle burger is a bit too greasy and muted and the Manly is slightly overpowered by the bacon. The Original is truly a transformative burger experience: Umamish!
Vanessa MacedoMay 29, 2015
Great burger, fair price, tasty fries and delicious dipping sauce. In other words: you will not regret!
Pierre van MedgeAugust 9, 2014
The original umami burger is indeed original, but not quite as satisfying as the more conventional manly burger. I like it that the burgers are of reasonable size, not huge.
Romina ClementeAugust 20, 2013
Servers were really nice. Flavor of the burger and fries were FANTASTIC. Best burger i've tried. Great beer selections.
Tierrance CharlesJune 9, 2014
I had the truffle burger and it was like manna from heaven. And to make a good experience great my waitress was ecstatic in a good way. I will return.
Christian KontisAugust 3, 2013
In a move surprising even to myself, I would actually suggest NOT getting the truffle fries. They are delicious but overpower the unique and different flavored of the burgers.
AnnaAugust 16, 2013
Get the truffle fries with more than 2 people and it comes in a bowl of fries in a vat of truffle cheese sauce instead of a small plate with a small drizzle
Natalie VMarch 7, 2016
Sunny side burger and truffle fries are my fav - can't go wrong here. Also they have Australian ginger beer! So good.
Ranu RajkarnikarOctober 7, 2014
Hits the spot when a burger craving hits. Truffle burger and classic are great, and do not even think about skipping the thin cut fries.
Kevin LashleyDecember 1, 2014
From the Midwest and this place definitely competes with Shake Shack. Cali burger was on point along with sweet potatoe does. Also family friendly
