Round Two Visit Tonight, I went back and decided to try Umami Burger again and to no avail, the quality is still substandard and I was not content/happy. I had the Throwback and the bread is very soggy, and the patties was very dry and over cooked. The presentation of the burger were not as good as how they presented in the Western Umami Burger location. I talk to Dan (night manager) and he agreed that they haven’t perfected the bread consistency at this point. I also ordered a side of bacon, and not only that it was smaller in amount compared to the other restaurant, it didn’t have the same taste, it was dry and it didn’t have the candied bacon flavor that I am used to. I wish they will continue to aim for that consistency and food quality so we (with my friends) don’t have to travel far to Western to get our food (away from the west loop).

It was so good that I forgot to take a picture! I think it might have been better than Au Chavel, and theres definitely not a 2-hours wait. The Umami burger was not over-sized nor over-sauced that would make it very salty like many places. The medium-rare burger was perfectly made, it was juicy, flavorful, and not dry at all. Bacon sweet potato fries was really good, it came with 4 different kind of sauce that I didnt it was needed. The glaze was so good on the fries already.

Elevated burger to the next level. Totally recommend trying their burgers and wings. Ive tried the Japanese wings, sweet and tangy with a touch of spice, specially appreciate the candied orange peel and slices of chili on top, perfect combination. The burger I choose was the Royale which has pulled beef short ribs and truffles. The burger cooked to perfection in my taste, medium rare which brought all the beef flavours together in a harmonious way. Totally worth the try.

When was the last time a burger made you smile? For me it was about 15 minutes ago when I had the Manly Burger here. I paired it with the Bacon Old Fashioned and it was absolutely perfect. I would recommend staying away from the house burger (Umami Burger) unless you want your taste buds to be overloaded with flavor. This place have some of the best burgers in the area, definitely worth trying out if youre in the mood for a cow.

Good food, great service and game time! The truffle fries ($3) were all that and more. I paired the Wolfgang IPA, which was $2 only, with the Seared Ahi Tuna Burger and it went well. The Cheesy Tots (the secret is out!) Were alright ($6.5), but I felt it could have been a little more cheesier. It couldnt have been any better without Jessicas help and advice. Definitely worth a look, especially if its your first time!

Solid service. Sleek, clean, modern interior. Nice sized bar. Falls short in the food department. The portobello salad was 95% lettuce. The crispy diablo chicken was smothered in flavorful sauce, but the chicken itself was clearly precooked. Last, my Umami burger was VERY VERY under cooked. They recommend medium rare, this burger might as well have come straight from the slaughterhouse without going on the gril.

This was an interesting upscale burger place. Everything from the decor to the menu. Their burgers are anything but normal but are very good. Everything is served is smaller portions than normal. Only downside for me was the fries . They were super thin. Dont let this stop you from trying this place out though. The staff was nice, food arrived quickly , and place was very clean.

First time in Umami. When I saw the options I was so excited to eat here. I must say the food looked so amazing when it got to the table. Really picture worthy! However when it came to my falafel burger. The falafel was very undercook. My partner also told me "the food looks better than it tastes". A lot of potential in the menu, but quality shouldnt be compromised.

Surprisingly large selection of beer and liquor - especially bourbon - for a burger place. Burger was good, but nothing on it had a bite, to balance the tenderness of the meat and soft bun. Skinny fries were excellent, although they should be at that price. Will definitely return to try out some of the other options.

I ordered a take out earlier today and the lady who took my order went by the name of lizbeth. Horrible attitude and and poor customer service in general didnt even greet or say anything until approached I do not recommend coming here to stay and eat thou the food was great the poor customer service ruined it all

Nice, upscale burger restaurant. Interesting combinations and choices. I tried a Hatch chili burger that was juicy and delicious...hatch chilies have a delicate zing. The pickled beet aperitif was tangy and tasty. Service was very friendly but a little slow considering my post lunch hour arrival.

One of the top burger places in Chicago. Manly burger with truffle fries is a good start if your first time here. They dont have green line on tap which a shame, at least not when I was there. Ill still give 5 stars but would be nice to see that as an option.

Burgers and fries were tasty. Onion rings were overly greasy. The small plates thay were already on the table when we arrived seemed to have a film on them. The check was rushed onto us, but may have been because it was late (11pm ish) on a Saturday.

Very nice restaurant. Our waiter was helpful and very friendly. The food was good (and arrived very quickly), and so was the service. Very pleasant experience. I suggest the cheese tater tots, they melt in your mouth.

Went to the pre-opening party, enjoyed the delicious hamburger and cocktails. The Greens6 cocktail with matcha is the best. Umami has the best burgers around that are savory (hence umami) and never disappoint.

Good upscale burger and nice staff here! We tasted the K-bbq and the truffles burger with truffles fries and it was a blast. Didnt like the ahi tuna salad with the weird crispy black rice.

A bit pricey for a burger that wasnt too interesting. I asked for medium, but got it well done. The Japanese style wings tasted mostly like soy sauce and had some inedible, burnt parts.

Great service and a surprisingly amazing burger! - perfect substitute if you cannot get in the burger joint whos name should not be mentioned down the road with the 3 hour queue...

Mixed experiences: while the falafel burger was very good and tasty, the Umami burger with a portobello mushroom was bland and somewhat forgettable.

Fun environment, epic burgers and fries. They even squeezed us in during a busy lunch hour with no waiting. I was surprised to see a kids menu too!

Recently opened and I was impressed with the service and food. For the west loop, I would consider it my number 2 burger place on Randolph.

Amazing food. Interior wasnt as posh as I would have expected. Linda cold/bar feeling. They could do a cozy, warmer feel.
