A no-frills late-night burger counter that’s become a Little Tokyo regular for messy, satisfying American comfort. Burgers skew indulgent, and the kitchen’s best work is in char, melt, and sauce balance. Ideal for quick hits rather than lingering meals.

When to visit: After 8pm for peak vibe.

Insider tip: Double-check your toppings before you leave.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; meter spots on 1st St. and side streets open up after 7pm, but competition is high during peak nightlife.
Dress code: Completely casual—hoodies, tees, and late-night attire all fit.
Noise level: Moderate to loud during late hours due to foot traffic and takeout rush; easy enough for quick conversation, not ideal for long chats.
Weekend wait: 5–15 minutes depending on bar crowd spillover; lines move quickly.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait; food comes out fast.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited—usually one veggie burger option plus fries.
Vegan options: Very limited; no dedicated vegan patty and toppings rely heavily on dairy.
Gluten-free options: No formal gluten-free accommodations; buns are standard and cross-contact is likely in a compact kitchen.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if your date is low-key and loves messy burgers—this is a grab-and-go counter, not a romantic setting.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—there are no reservations; seating is limited and mostly counter-style, so expect to eat quickly or take food to go.
Is it kid-friendly? Fine for older kids who like burgers; no high chairs, no play space, and limited seating, so best for quick stops rather than family meals.
Best For
Better for: Late-night, fast, indulgent smash-style burgers when you want char, melt, and big flavor without frills.
Skip if: You want healthier bowls, sit-down comfort, or a quieter, linger-worthy meal—opt for a fuller-service American spot instead.
