Located in the international terminal at LAX, Umami Burger hits the spot. You can order and pay with the kiosk or the employees. The guy behind the counter was so nice & always smiling & makes eye-contact. The burger was so good. I had the truffle burger & tipped, so it was kinda spendy, but not too bad for an airport. The truffle sauce is sooooooo good. I highly recommend!

My wife and I are at LAX today and decided to have burgers and fries at Umami Burger. We both ordered the Umami Classic Burger. The burger comes with lettuce, tomato, pickles, American Cheese and Classic Sauce (described by the person behind the counter as thousand Island dressing). The burger tasted good, but in no way superior to any other burgers we have eaten.
My wife loved the Truffle Fries, which were fries covered with Truffle cheese sauce. I ordered the sweet potato fries, which were supposed to have been seasoned with New Orleans spice but which had no such flavor.
I also ordered the Cole Slaw, which had Classic Sauce but a very bland flavor. No real hint of vinegar, no celery seed, pepper or any real seasoning flavor.
Service was only a little slow. Umami Burger is in the International Terminal (Terminal B), with a food court- area ambience.
Airport food is known to be on the pricey side, so a $16.99 burger should not surprise.
If you want an okay burger or good Truffle Fries, Umami Burger is as good a destination as anywhere else . I just can’t say that it’s burger is worth going out of your way for.

size not worth the price. If you see an old lady at the counter, run. The service is super slow and only she is serving both the counter and the food. Also I feel discriminated. All the people ahead of me get asked kindly about the sauce and the drinks are brought to their hands. For me , the drink is just left at the soda machine without letting me know and she just went to serve other people.also I don’t get my sauce. Black listed

Worth a bite if you’re looking for an classic American burger, Umami offers pretty decent cooking here. Will suggest to ask for their coleslaw instead of french fries.

Grabbed a burger here before catching a flight. I had the original Umami burger and some sweet potato fries. Overall it was pretty good but very overpriced. It was comparable in flavor to an In-N-Out burger but 3x the cost. If I wasn’t trapped in an airport I would have gone somewhere else.
Staff was friendly and helpful.
Seating was very limited.

Fries portion was good. Service was poor. Given wrong drink and no apology. Not able to pay cash at the time as the one till that had cash in it had no server to use it (they were on break). Pretty sure as well I didn’t get the Jalapeño ranch dip.

Probably the best burger I’ve ever had at an airport. Don’t know if that counts for anything but it was delicious.
I ordered their classic umami burger with truffle fries. It was through a kiosk which I’m not a fan of but it was fast and simple.
I’d definitely eat here again but I’d skip the fries. For an airport meal, it wasn’t that bad and the price was fair compared to other restaurants near by.

The chicken burger is really good! But when i go pick up my order, they forgot my bottle of Fenta and told me to get it myself. So i walked to the fridge and get it myself, omg some did not know that and looked at me as if i was stealing that Fenta. Not a good experience

I’ve ate here twice and this place hasn’t let me down yet.. OTHER THAN THE BURGER BEING $20 & FRIES $7.. so total about $28. Both times I got the impossible burger with sweet potato fries. Very good and cooked to perfection. Fresh veggies and fries were delicious as well. It’s at the LA airport so the high prices are typical.

An expensive mistake. Ordered a cheese burger but got a horrible chilli burger. It wasn’t even a good chilli burger. How a burger, regular fries and regular drink can cost $40 is beyond me. Why they prompt for tips is another bug bearer, they are providing no service beyond handing you the food!
