Ojai Burger

We came here on a Friday evening. Located at the Circle of Orange, this cute restaurant offers a menu of burgers, salads, plates and fries. There's plenty of street parking and there's a parking structure within a 5 min walk for free.We ordered the Spicy Ojai chicken sandwich, katsu chicken rice plate and topa topa wagyu fries They also offer beer and soda but we went with water.The katsu chicken plate was delicious. Light, fresh, chicken lightly breaded, fluffy rice with a nice katsu sauce. If also came with a simple cabbage slaw with a light Asian dressing. The topa topa wagyu fries were average. Shoe string fries topped with bits of wagyu beef. There was way too many fries compared to the topping. The staff was friendly, hard working and hustled to take, make and deliver orders. While we were there, patrons kept coming, food drivers picking up orders and phone ringing. It was busy on a Friday early evening. We enjoyed our meal and would definitely recommend and return.

Katsu Dog 4-4.5 starsSmash Burger 2.5-3 starsAfter circling around and around Old Towne Orange, on a Friday around noon, we were able find a parking spot right in front of Ojai Burger. (I've never noticed Ojai Burger before, but upon checking, it seems that this location has been open since 2022.) We were originally in the area for Urth Caffe and since we had time before our pick up order was available, we were intrigued by the sign out front of Ojai Burger, that we ended up ordering 2 items from the sign. Katsu Dog $8.95Crispy fried katsu hot dog, sauteed onions, Japanese mayo & katsu sauce.Single Smash Burger $6.95Garlic dijon aioli, sauteed onions, cheese, served on a brioche bun.We were both pleasantly surprised with the flavors of the Katsu Dog. At first, I was skeptical for a hot dog about $9 but all the ingredients came together really well. There was a subtle crunch with each bit, due to the crispy fried katsu. The sauteed onions were excellent. The Katsu Dog was our favorite between the two. The Single Smash Burger left much to be desired. The patty was smashed (thus Smash Burger) ,obviously, but way too thinly that it was basically burnt, like black burnt, on both sides (top and bottom) and on the edges. Like are we eating charcoal? Pass on the Smash Burger. A pickle slice was included with both items, and it was fresh! The perfect amount of crisp with each bite and not overly sour. A perfect addition to both items, so the items would not be dry.When we entered, there were a occupied tables, and the restaurant stayed moderately busy as customers came and went while we enjoyed our meal inside. There were 2 TVs and 1 restroom. FYI, that toilet is slooowww... and even following the directions on the wall, one needs to flush 2 times and wait for it to "fill" after the first flush. Nothing like history with buildings in Old Towne Orange.Fusion food. Good service. One orders and pays at the register, and you'll be provided a number for your order. Once your order is ready, they will bring your order to you. There are also water and cups on the side for their customers, along with utensils and napkins.

I am so loving this place. It is not just burgers. That's what keeps me coming back. Every time I visit there are more things to try. I think anyone could find something to enjoy here. I have often gone for the rice bowls including loco moco. Today I had the Menchi Katsu burger. They accidentally added a fried egg. Asked me if that was ok. No problem!! Just made it a bigger sloppier burger. My wife went with the demure smash burger. It is the most basic straightforward burger then have. So many other things I want to try including the katsu dog. Oh well, next time.They also have a solid draft beer program with stuff you don't see other places in the area.

The Sign in front had me at wagyu lol. Pretty small location inside. It was decently busy not much of a line. I got the wagyu rice bowl in all honestly just my opinion I thought it was okay lol. The bowl reminded me of a fancier yoshinoya. The fries were my favorite they were crispy and fresh the taste was good balance. The burger sorry I don't remember which one it was it was okay too for what it is. Had alot of cabbage. Overall the cashier and everyone was very nice and helpful.

We had a Delicious burgers. Suggested was the name of the place "The OJai Burger"! Was a little salty, but the egg balanced it out. I thought the fries were good. The burger was absolutely delicious. Service was fast and the place is in old town Orange, walking distance from the Antique Circle. The location has a really cool vibe to it.

This place has to be one of my favorite burger spots, especially it seems like a hidden gem of some sort. So I live in LA, and was craving a burger after going to Disneyland and scrolled through Yelp. Stumbled upon this restaurant and from the menu and reviews, things seemed to sound good and wanted to try it for my own. The inside the restaurant is pretty small inside and I think there's an outdoor patio that you can dine at as well. However, the customer service was A++++ in my personal opinion and I should've gotten the guys name but he was amazing and seemed so enthusiastic and friendly. That's another reason why I would come back to this restaurant, I love supporting businesses with great staff. Let's talk about the food now, I got a spicy miso burger and fries. The bun was nice and crispy along the edges and the meat was seasoned perfectly and I loved the egg that was added on top. I wish this place was closer to my house, but I'll definitely be coming back soon to this restaurant 10/10 stars if I could

This place is the SPOT! I love fusion restaurants so I was delighted when I took a look at their menu.I haven't been great with writing reviews so just FYI this is my review from my visits in May and July of this year.First: the service was awesome. In May, a server named Fern was very patient with me and gave me some great recommendations to help me decide what I should get. Unfortunately, there was a little misunderstanding, but it was probably an honest mistake. I ordered the wagyu bowl and got the katsu bowl. They sound similar, so I understand the mix up. I should have asked her to repeat the order to me. Next time!In July, I REALLY wanted to try their carrot cake, but I wasn't able to order it through the app, so I ordered the Giant Chocolate Cake Slice and asked them to give me carrot cake if possible. I was overjoyed to discover upon delivery that they not only were they able to accommodate my request, but they gave me an extra treat (a blondie) to make up for the price difference! How sweet! The carrot cake also did not disappoint. It was SO GOOD. What we've tried:Chicken Katsu Salad - very good, a little on the salty side. I'd like to try to karaage salad next and compare them.Wagyu Fries - SO GOOD. Highly recommend.Carrot cake - BOMB.Chicken Katsu Bowl - very good, a little on the salty side. We ordered the wagyu beef bowl and got this, so I'd still like to try the wagyu bowl.Topa Topa Chicken Sandwich - very good and fillingUbe Shake - good, a bit on the sugary side. It's not designed to travel well(the pocky fell all the way in the drink), I was expecting them to put the pocky on the side or something, but I understand it's my fault ordering delivery Buttery Lemon squares - AMAZING. I'm a lemon square snob and these were almost as good as my grandmas. Toffee Crunch Blondie - good if you like big chocolate chips. It's much better warm. Overall, I would absolutely go back, and I very much look forward to it.

Ojai burger was a neat spot to try out some fusion food, The restaurant has pretty limited seating and I thought we could sit on the patio but wahoos has a sign that says it's only for wahoos. You may end up sharing a table with some others pending your party size. It's a nice little spot otherwise.The service was great they are great with getting orders in and out and with suggestions. I had a to go order along with my dine in and the server held off on making the Togo order until we were closer to being done with our meal so I really appreciated that.The food was good but not mind blowing, mind you I got the katsu sandwich and I think it's their wagyu beef that is the star. The sandwich was good with some good flavors. The fries were new for me since I had never had a miso spice so I enjoyed those. Overall Ojai did its job with proving good food with great service. I'll definitely try a burger next time and see if that changes hits higher notes for me but for the most part I did enjoy my meal.

I had my friend try this place and she loved it! Super friendly service like usual. Our cashier gave us lots of good recommendations! We got the spicy red garlic fries which were the perfect crispiness and savory flavor to go with the burgers. Our cashier also gave us a side of their garlic dijon aioli to try. It wasn't needed but def added to the flavor of the fries! 5/5 My friend got the spicy miso burger and she really enjoyed it too! She loves spicy foods and has a high spice tolerance, and she did wish it was more spicy. But she still really loved it and would def come back! I've been here 3 times already and have always had such great experiences. From the food to the service to the vibe, you honestly can't go wrong eating here!

Truffle fries are super yummy! Great customer service. I made an online order of fries and picked it up a little late, and they offered to make me some fresh ones for free. Great experience here.
