These burgers are good but expensive. Everything is a la carte. $15 for a burger?

Does anyone know when or even if this place is gonna open again??? The food here is really good but it seems like it maybe shutting down for good

Decent food. Server was nice. Food was over an hour late. Manager and server worked to make up for this problem.

The fries are stale, missing truffle ketchup, the chicken tenders are really dry and bad. The burger is over cooked and does not worth $9. The restaurant itself is in bad condition and bad hygienic, shoes and cleaning supplies are in the hall way!

Umami burger is an easy place to grab a quick bite. Don't really see this place get crowded and service is pretty good too. Pricing is a bit high but you're also in west loop. Burgers are decent. Chicken tenders have a good breading. Fries are pretty good too. Nothing sticks out to make this place special but it's not terrible either.

I work down the street and come here fairly often for lunch! I generally order the steak burger and a side of fries (wedges) and it is consistently GREAT. They do a good job delivering on how the consumer wants it cooked too. Once you put your order in it takes about 5 min for it to be grilled. You pick the meat/bun up and add the lettuce, tomato, onions etc at their min-bar area. The result is a thick juicy burger.

I gotta give this joint some credit. They did everything and then some to hear me out and clean house. Everytime I've been back service has been great and the folks are friendly. Def check this place out if ur lookin for a good burger place in west loop, think they do brunch too if that's ur poison.

Pretty tasty but waits can be long at times since this is the kitchen for multiple restaurants. Don’t love the vibes inside so I usually get take out.
I have had my eye on the Wicker Park location for sometime being that I have ordered at a neighboring restaurant. It is closer to me than this location, but also located in a congested Wicker Park neighborhood which I have little tolerance for driving through at times. I chose this location because I have an interest in visiting more restaurants in the West Loop - Fulton Market District which in my opinion is a foodies paradise. I chose to order takeout via Yelp which is very convenient if you know what you want beforehand. Other than all of the desserts the two main items on the menu that had my interest are the Impossible Classic Burger, and the Impossible Truffle Burger. The menu online was very easy to navigate through consisting of everything in order and pictured. I ended up ordering the Impossible Classic Burger, and the Chocolate Cake. I felt that I lucked up with parking because there were vehicles flowing in-and-out of the parking space outside of the restaurant. I don't even want to imagine what parking in the area is like during the daytime as well as afternoon, but keep in mind that the CTA train is easily accessible in the area. As I went in to grab my food I could not help but get a glimpse of the interior which has a bar-like vibe with a couple televisions plastered up. I was acknowledged immediately after I walked in the door. And as quickly as I entered, stating "I have a pick-up for Thomas" to the employee the quicker I left with my order which was already bagged up. I totally devoured the Impossible Classic Burger, and the Chocolate Cake. I have had a handful of Impossible Burgers and it's hard to gauge who has the better one out of the restaurants eaten at, but I do rank this version high. All were tasty in their own way and certainly did not disappoint. As for the Chocolate Cake there was no exception because I had the biggest smirk on my face as I scooped and ate each piece of that chocolatey piece of heaven with my fork. The next day whether it be in the gym, running, or biking best believe I have some calories to burn from this meal which I enjoyed. In closing I had a pleasant ordering experience with Umami Burger - West Loop. I would surely order from again on a different date. ~Blessings~ Thomas G

Good fast food but not so fast.. Low cost, tastes good for what it is. ,meets expectations for a ten dollar meal.

YUM. Their classic burger, thin fries, and sweet potato fries really hit the spot. I ordered takeout online, and it was an easy process. The time estimate was initially 15 minutes but I got there 25 minutes after I ordered, and that's actually when they finished the order and brought it out! (The full order was 2 burgers, 2 fries). We added avocado to our burgers and wow the whole thing was so juicy, with the caramelized onions and melted cheese with the tender beef patty. The brioche bun added a luxuriously fluffy texture. The fries. THE FRIES Y'ALL. Perfect amount of crisp. Addicting, truly. Good portion size for the price too. $3.50 for the thin fries, $4.50 for the sweet potato fries. They each come with a small container of sauce of your choosing. We had jalapeño ranch (it was actually spicy! And cooling) and truffle ketchup. I don't know what truffle actually tastes like so I couldn't tell you if it tasted like truffle. If it did, it was subtle. Regardless, the fries disappeared quick. Overall, I def recommend! If you're looking for a solid burger, this is a good spot.

I bought a Diablo sandwich. A total ripoff. I ask the bartender how big was the sandwich and stated it was a nice size. It was literally the size of a white castle hamburger. So disappointed. I will never go back.

I googled restaurants on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives and this place popped up. Reading about what was aired sounded really good so this was the choice! However, neither items are on the menu anymore and it became just a basic burger joint with nothing really interesting jumping off the menu. They also didn't have any tap beer available.
