It's been a while! There used to be a Humble Potato within walking distance from me. Glad to see this one is still going strong. HP hasn't forgotten how to provide outstanding food and service. It is still top notch here! We really enjoyed the outdoor patio space too! It was clean and a very refreshing space to dine in. I would absolutely come back and pair my burger with a side of tots on the next visit. Next time you have a burger craving...ditch that drive thru BS and get at the Humble Potato. You'll become a fan! read more

Humble Potato - Hambaga w/ Fries! - New American Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We have been 3 times now and we give up. The service is always slow and they ignore you when you walk in. They do not listen when we tell them you want a burger medium rare. They never are. The place would be cute if it was clean. It in never clean, from the floor to the uncomfortable seating. I think a lot of people get it to go. Check your bag. The first time the fries with cheese were great. We loved them. Their burgers were not great, but fine. We gave them a second chance and this time we were with a group. We all order medium rare burgers. We all got well done, I mean burnt. But the fries were still great. The last time (and we won't be back), all the wheels came off the wagon. There was one person there to help us, now maybe there was a cook, I really don't recall. The place was still not clean. The service was still so slow (get off your phone, dude). The fries were a tad cold this time and not great. The burgers were burnt again and this time I sent them all back and I don't think they liked that, because they served them so close to raw. We toosed them in the trash and went elsewhere. read more

Ugh. We have been coming to this great little place for several years, but our most recent experiences have shown that we will be unlikely to return. Not sure what happened, but the last couple of times we have been here, this place was partnering with another pop-up joint offering "Pan-Asian soul food." In my opinion, this has been the downfall of this place. We came here two nights ago and it's a weird situation because they are basically offering you options from two separate menus. Knowing what I like, I ordered the spicy Obaasan sandwich. Boyfriend, however, opted to venture into the space of the neighboring restaurant and ordered the chicken and rice something or such. It turned out to be the blandest most flavorless dish ever, even though it was served with three tiny plastic cups of accompanying sauces. The chicken literally looked like boiled chicken and was completely devoid of flavor or seasoning. Also, service was unbelievably slow. Pleasant when she finally showed up, but painfully slow. We used to like The Humble Potato but we absolutely do not like this partnership they have with this brand and will probably not come back. read more

Finally made it back here after trying it once years ago (on a first date!) Casual cute place with some seating indoors and larger patio seating in back. I ordered the tots withsteak, which is basically like steak nachos but with tots. So good, and extremely filling, could easily be a meal alone. We also ordered a burger with egg that was delicious as well. Easy parking on the street. Service was fast and friendly. They also have happy hour on certain days. read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch and took a seat on the patio. We ordered off the HP menu and loved everything we ordered. The tots and fries are really so well fried, I don't know how to quantify this. Servers were friendly and attentive even though we sat out of sight on the shaded back patio. The patio was quiet and shaded, a lovely lunch spot! read more

I'm an ex employee. Just got fired for cleaning too much. Management like Armando got hurt because the degree of cleaning made him look I don't know bad. He calls me a tweaker. Then denies it I left that day. Because I was angry. Ask them to speak to the owner they said we don't do that. What.... Then I got fired for walking out. Maybe the owner does know. Erik if u can contact me before I go make a complaint with legal services. I would like to talk....my email still the same .I don't even want to say the degree that I saw of areas that were denied cleaning.....Jaycee was there that day he heard it but then choose sides. read more

Desperate to try new spots so took a chance here on a Saturday night and omg I'm glad I did. It's a really small space, 1-2 tables, and basically built for takeout. Got the onion smash cheeseburger w sweet potato fries. Burger has really really good flavor and the ingredients taste high quality. That ain't Oscar Meyer bacon they using. The patty is not a smash patty (see pic) but that's ok b/c it isn't too thick. Easy burger to eat with right amount of toppings and cheese. It was a teensy bit dry, wish the onions had more flavor and the special sauce came through more (I had to triple check they didn't forget it) but overall it was freaking delicious and such a nice change from the LA burger spots that generally all taste the same. I can't wait to come back here and try rest of menu. read more

Humble Potato has a wide menu from rice plate, burgers, sandwiches and sides. The Japanese/Hawaiian inspired menu has something for everyone. The parking is street parking or meters along Washington. For the food: The Jack'd burger was recommended and it was indeed tasty. Next time I'd opt for one of their unique sandwiches. Love that they have tater tots - my favorite kind of potato. read more

I wanted to like this place. I really did. It's called Humble Potato afterall... but everything I got was just not it. I had a late-night craving for some good ole' garlic fries and decided to trust this place since it has potato in the name, but the fries were mid at best. kinda soggy, missing something to give it that umph factor. We also ordered the Tempeh with Kare but it just wasn't hittin' idk if the flavors were right for me. I wouldn't knock it till you try it for yourself though -- there's a reason why it's got 4 stars, so maybe itll hit diff for you read more

They indeed serve a darn good burger and fries! And sweet waitress at the Culver's store last night.

Got takeout from here. Quick and easy pickup. Got the hambaga and fries. The burger was just okay. It wasn't juicy as they say and other reviewers. Patty was actually kind of dry and didn't have much flavor to it. Not sure where the Japanese flavors and whatnot were. The fries were underwhelming as well. Tasted like frozen fries from the grocery store. For the price point it wasn't quite worth it. In-n-Out would have been more satisfying for a quick bite to eat. Glad I tried it but don't think I would go back. read more

Humble Potato - Hambaga Burger - New American Near Me - Los Angeles, California

If you're looking for good Asian food with a twist, Humble Potato is the place to go. Second time here (different location) and it still hit the spot. I came here for their burgers since it was delicious the first time, but got intrigued by their Banh Mi and decided to give it a try. And boy was I glad I did! The sandwich is packed with veggies and it's very refreshing. They also have beer which is always a plus. The new location looks a bit smaller from the outside but they have a big outdoor area in the back. It's a nice casual lunch or dinner spot! The staff have always been very friendly and it's nice to be greeted each time. Definitely recommend! read more

Lunch here for the first time; the steak sandwich was moist, flavorful, and something I'll come back for. Tried the steak sandwich and a bite of the burger, was more impressed by the steak sandwich than the burger but both were good. Parking was little limited but still found a spot close enough. Tried the sweet potato fries which were seasoned just right with salt. Inside or outside eating if you decide to dine in. Getting the food after ordering didn't take an absurd amount of time either thankfully read more

Service was outstanding. We sat on the very cute patio in back. Great beer selection and the Burger and fries were outstanding! We ordered loaded fries and then got a second order of just fries. I don't like to fight, but I'm willing to for tasty fries. My friends both ordered the crispy chicken. One got it on a sandwich the other with rice ... both looked delicious. Looking forward to our next visit read more

Humble Potato - Ahhhh maze ZING! Burgers - New American Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Humble Potato is always a good bet if you're in the mood for something deliciously unhealthy. I'm a big fan of their Hambaga...it's always perfectly juicy! Their sweet potato fries were perfectly seasoned as always. This was my boyfriend's first time eating here and he ordered the Yakiniku Sando which he really enjoyed. They have both indoor seating or a cute little patio out back whichever you prefer. Street parking isn't terrible. We found a spot less than a block away. Humble Potato is definitely one of my favorite restaurants in the Mar Vista area. read more

First time here, it was found by a friend on Yelp after our original lunch spot was closed. Lucky us! Service was perfect. It was not too busy and food was served quickly. We sat outside in their covered back patio. Everything on the menu looked really good but 3 of us ordered the KATSU KARE SANDO w/ yummy Japanese curry . 100% would recommend. The sandwich was big enough to share with the garlic fries unless you want left overs. The sandwich kept well for the next day. The restaurant is located on a Main Street - free/metered parking available with additional parking near-by for a short walk. Enjoy! read more

First time visit and first time Yum! Decided to try this place and happened to visit when it was happy hour (5pm-7pm). #winning Had their "Umburger" happy hour combo, (substituted cheddar cheese for pepper jack). Upgraded my fries to garlic fries. Overall both were good. Burger was tasty. Despite being on the small side, it still felt the right bit of filling. I liked the sauce that came with it. It added the punch needed. Fries were perfectly cooked. Great flavor and crunch. Food came out quick but didn't taste rushed. $23 overall. read more

Would've taken a picture of the Loco Moco but I inhaled it. Didn't even offer a bite to the husband. I love the massive amount of slaw that balances out the dish. Oh, and the Gojira burger is very tasty. I'll be coming back again for morrrreeeeeeee read more

I didn't realize this was Japanese fusion until I walked in tbh, but that made their menu items much more interesting! They actually have a variety of items on their menu, going from garlic noodles, loco moco, hamburgers, sandwiches, etc. Very extensive! I brought my group of friends here and they were excited to see since everything looked pretty good! I believe they are more known for their burgers? So I went ahead and got the Jack'd and these garlic parmesan fries to share. For my Jack'd burger, I really liked how the bun was soft and crispy, the meat patty was also very juicy, and it was packed with flavor overall! I normally don't eat bacon, but the bacon on here was a really nice crisp. The overall burger was pretty good, but I wouldn't say it's sooo amazing. The meat quality was pretty standard, but I liked how all the ingredients they used were pretty fresh. The garlic parmesan fries were very nice and garlic-y. We all got different items, but it seemed like everyone also liked their dish! My friend next to me got the garlic noodles with katsu, and she said it was really oily and heavy. We also ordered kaarage to shared, but I wish it was more meaty than airy. The mentaiko (?) sauce was pretty nice! Overall, the prices are bit high here for what they serve, but I think that's also LA price lol. It's a great spot for big groups since there is an outdoor patio! It wasn't too busy when we came in for lunch. Parking was pretty easy since there were several free metered spots at the front. read more

Came in for a quick bite about 30 min before closing and the employees happily let us eat inside. The chicken salad and yakiniku sandwich were both great but it slightly lacked the sesame flavor in the salad and the yakiniku sauce flavor that are reminiscent of the two dishes. Then again, this could be their own twist but I was looking for those flavors. Decent prices and food is made fresh to order. I would definitely return to try their other menu items. read more

Overall: 3.5/5 Was really excited to try this Japanese fusion restaurant, but a little bit disappointed in the food for the price. My friend and I each got a happy hour set which is $20 for a burger, fries, and a beer (we both got Calpico instead because we didn't feel like drinking). The fries were thick and crispy, but a little over cooked and I would have liked more for the price. The Obaasan sandwich was crunchy, but I was not a fan of the very strong ginger marinade of the chicken and the coleslaw on the burger added no flavor. It needed some pickled veg! My friend said their burger was just ok for the price as well. Overall I don't think I would come back to this cute lil spot for the food, but the service was very good and the employees were super friendly. read more

Outstanding food quality; outgoing and friendly wait staff. The hubs and I got a custom hambaga, mine with the crispiest tator tots ever! Food came out so hot and fresh... we were starving going in, and ate it up so quickly that I forgot to take photos.

Came back here two years after our first visit, and it honestly was not as good as the first time. The restaurant was quiet around 6 on a Sunday night. The waitress we had was efficient and polite. This time, my husband and I shared the spicy obaasan and a regular burger, as well as tater tots and fries. The tater tots and fries were over cooked and the burger and spicy obaasan were mediocre. read more

Turns out they've temporarily combined menus with Mee & Greet. Waitresses were overwhelmed. Burgers overcooked. Lukewarm fries. Dishes came out 10 minutes apart. Ended up eating separately from my children. They were more active on the pick-up orders and gave the room Takis to hold us over. Yikes! read more

I'd been wanting to try this spot since before the pandemic, and now that my business is right down the street, I'm out of unique burger purgatory. Such interesting takes on the burger, but i keep returning to the Jack'd and the Kare Baga (hold the egg please!). The sweet potato fries are excellent. (I gotta remember to take pics one of these days!) Friendly service and a chill patio out back make ya feel right at home! read more

Yelp category for this spot should be adjusted. It's more of an Asian-American fusion than an American burger/sandwich spot. I mean sure, they serve burgers and sandwiches, but there's a lot of Asian fusion going on here. For example, kare fries (or curry fries) and sapporo beer? Also, just look at their interior design. There are just so many signs they're going for some Asian blend. That said, I wasn't the biggest fan of their recommended/distinguished menu items. It's like bringing two good things that don't work together going so well and sort of destroying the integrity of each. I'm not here to roast, but as someone that grew up each both American and Asian dishes, the combinations do not work. For example, curry and fries? It's like adding salt to a salty dish. Curry is normally served with rice and and it can be served with an egg to level out the saltiness, but this... I'll leave it there. My friend and I like burgers and beer, so we came here only to be surprised. None of the items we had struck gold, but it wasn't inedible. Also, the place is called Humble Potato - are they proud of their fries? I don't see any of the items highlighting their potatoes on the menu. Overall, very misleading spot. Not convinced I'll come back. read more

I used to go to The Humble Potato in Westchester (near LAX) at 8321 Lincoln Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90045, but started coming to this location in Culver City. The Westchester location is still open 'tho and gives me 2 options for what I call DESTINATION DINING where I would make it a special trip and go out of my way to come to The Humble Potato as part of my plans. I read some other Yelp reviews about this place and found it odd. I always take Yelp reviews with a grain of salt as they tend to be biased towards complainers and those with a low amount of reviews on Yelp who use it to just bitch and moan, the type who you can never satisfy and you look at their history of reviews and it's riddled by bad complaint reviews yet these are the same people who never take the time to write nice reviews when they get good service or a nice experience. WIth that, this review sort of dispels some of the unwarranted comments that don't seem justified. The food here is extremely well priced for today's restaurant experience with fresh cooked to order food that isn't a cheap franchise/chain nor fast food joint. When you get a burger here it's a gourmet experience not something like Five Guys, In N Out, McDonalds, Shake Shack and other overcooked, salty and greasy burger joints. THE HUMBLE POTATO offers unique burgers you can't really find at other places. Their menu has 8 different burgers to choose from. The Average meal will cost you $15-20. If you go to McDonald's a meal will cost you about $8-12, so for the incremental price difference you get healthier fresher food and larger portions, so it's a better option and decision to come here in my opinion. I love their KATSU DOGGU, a curry hot dog that's panko crusted. It's pretty unique. There's something for everyone here... Burgers, Hot Dogs, Rice Plates, Salad, Sandwiches and you can even create your own Asian Tapas styled meal with their side dishes and appetizer small bites. My family loves this place because we all have different preferences (we're kind of selective, aka picky aka fussy) yet here at The Humble Potato we all each have our favorites and a lot to choose from so it's not always the same dish (although my wife loves their Battle Royale Burger as well as the Bahn Mi, where I like the basic Hambaga and the Katsu Doggu, then my son usually gets the Obaasan Chicken Sandwich or oddly enough, as a kid loves their Salad... as well as the Popcorn Chicken and Kare Fries) We often take out of town visiting friends here because it's such a unique experience. The worst part of it is that everything on the menu looks so good, you wish you could order everything and try all of the wonderful dishes!!! As a local, fortunately I have that option, but my brother in The Bay Area always asks me to take him here when he visits and he vows to try something different every visit. He's enjoyed everything so far, some more than others and his go-to repeat has been Poku Baga because he can't find that anyplace else as good as the marinated pork belly here at The HP. He even asked me to bring him a few when I visit The Bay Area for him to freeze for the future and eat one as he picks me up from the airport. I highly recommend The Humble Potato. This location as well as the one in Westchester are equally awesome I think the Culver City has a slightly bigger menu, but all of the greatest fan favorite dishes are at both locations. The service and staff are really friendly. In Hawaii, we'd call it the "Aloha Spirit" where you feel sort of treated like family as you enter and graciously appreciated as you leave. The place is hip and clean too, so has a really nice ambiance to it. This location has OUTDOOR DINING so you can appreciate the year nice 'round California weather any time of day Parking here is easy if you know the area and are sometimes willing to walk a block or so if you desire that free residential neighborhood parallel parking option when it's a busy time of day. read more

Burger was dry, tough, burned, and i waited extra long. Overpriced and very disappointing.

Food - I've only ever tried their classic hambaga but omg it was delish! Better than shake shack. And the fries are perfectly crispy with a soft and warm inside. A little pricey but the quality is there Service - super friendly and helpful staff. Ambiance - place is relatively small but it's decorated very nicely. There are hints of Japanese culture shown on the walls as well as a back patio if you choose to eat outside. Place is very clean and well kept. read more

Slow horrible service long wait time only one server/cashier. and i been here twice and it's always the same thing.

Good and service were amazing. Will definitely be back. Staff was great and very friendly

Everything here was amazing. We tried a variety of dishes and everything was executed perfectly. My recommendation is to share plates so you can try as many items as possible because I couldn't decide which was my favorite. The staff was super friendly and attentive. Cute atmosphere with a good view of the kitchen inside so we could see them preparing our food. Great happy hour deals too if youre there during the week. read more
