HiHo Cheeseburger is one of the most underrated and under appreciated burger spots in LA. All the hamburgers at HiHo are 100% grass-fed wagyu.HiHo is a non-tipping establishment according to their website which is always nice. However, many folks on here complain about the 6% service fee used to fund their operations. Frankly, I much rather pay 6% than have to tip 20%. It's really a win-win in my opinion. What we ordered: -Pastrami Heat $13.95-Kids' Cheeseburger $6.95-The Willie Mae $10.95-From-Scratch Fries $4.95I've been to the Santa Monica location, but this was my first time visiting the Mid-Wilisire location. We were in the neighborhood down the street visiting the Peterson Automative Museum and we wanted to eat somewhere good close by. Having been to HiHo before in Santa Monica. I recommended to my wife and son that we eat here if they were in the mood for a delicious hamburger.I ordered the Pastrami Heat as it was very tempting getting an opportunity to try the world's only grass-fed wagyu Pastrami. I can't think of another place in LA offering grass-fed wagyu pastrami and LA is a pretty big Pastrami city no less. The Pastrami Heat was a very good burger. It was cooked perfectly and had some nice heat thanks to their spicy onions. The burger is a little bit on the smaller side, but its worth the price because its so good.The wife got The Willie Mae and it was very good as she let me try a few bites. It was good fried chicken sandwich. We both wish it has a bit more spice as we were told it was a bit spicy and we both love spicy fried chicken sandwiches. I hope they can come up a spicer version of The Willie Mae. All in all it was good sandwich. Our son got the Kid's Cheeseburger and he likes it, but he liked fries even more. No surprise there! The fries are seasoned well and are pretty good, but portion size for nearly $5 is a bit less than it should. I understand having a smaller burger because it's grass-fed wagyu, but potatoes are not grass-fed. Why are French fries so expensive?Overall, it was great lunch and we'll come back to HiHo again.
