    Crispy Chicken Bites ($11): 2/5. A little off-putting...had many strangely textured, oddly shaped pieces of battered, deep fried chicken that tasted dry and overcooked. Sadly wasn't juicy at all, and batter/coating was way too thick. The cabbage salad and spiced mayo sauce it came with tasted better than the chicken, so I wouldn't get this again. Fries ($6): 4/5. Long, skinny, crispy shoestring that were dangerously easy to eat - these went fast. Berries Shake ($7): 5/5. Super yummy. I don't normally go for fruity milkshakes, but this was very enjoyable, tasted like real berries blended into creamy vanilla ice cream. Made me want to try their other shakes. Small, fast-casual shop with chill vibes and aloof staff. Ojai is situated in Old Towne Orange, so you can park in the brick parking structure for free and explore the area.

    Smash Burger
    Robert F.

    We were in the mood for a snack while wandering around the downtown area and came across the sign for a $7.95 Wagyu smash burger so we'd thought we give it a try. The girl at the counter was friendly and helpful and we ordered up our smash burger and took a seat inside (there's a lot of seating outside on a large shared patio) We could hear the meat hit the grill and it was served up a few moments later fresh and piping hot. The burger was seasoned well and had some grilled onions and a nice sauce. It was a perfect little snack for us to split, but if you want something larger they have a numerous selection of specialty burgers, sandwiches and bowls.

    I was curious about Ojai Burger after eating at the Taco Stand next door so I finally got around to coming here for the first time earlier this week. Ordered the Ojai Smash Burger with the Garlic Parmesan Shake Shake fries. The burger was pretty tasty but the fries were a bit too dry and bland in my opinion. But seeing that I came here primarily to try their smash burger, I would say that I came out satisfied overall. The girl who rung me up was very friendly & welcoming which made the experience a positive one. I would definitely come back to try the other items on the menu seeing that the smash burger was up to par.

    These are the messages I received from the owner.
    Claudia D.

    I stand by my original review--if Yelp allowed negative ratings, I would confidently give this establishment -100 stars. Since posting my genuine feedback, I have been repeatedly contacted and harassed by an individual whom I believe to be the owner. The messages I have received include derogatory language, hostile name-calling, and behavior that is entirely inappropriate toward any customer. The conduct displayed in these messages is alarming and raises serious concerns about the professionalism and emotional stability of the person managing this business. I have no idea who he is referring to in his explicit messages, as none of it relates to my initial review. Ask yourself: would you feel comfortable dining at a place where the owner engages with customers this way? (See attached screenshot.) Please consider this before giving your money to an establishment that not only serves mediocre food but is represented by someone who continues to harass former customers months later instead of addressing feedback constructively and professionally.

    JAPANESE BURGERS Awesome location near the circle of orange. Not cheap but probably cheaper than a restaurant. Japanese style burgers with sweet sauces. Everything is sold separate. Got the beef bowl, the burger with the egg in it, don't remember the name, and the parm truffle fries. After finishing my food, I was glad I tried it but I probably won't order it again based on how dry the protein was. I guess I was expecting more for the price but i guess location is everything and they got bills to pay. Just feels like I ate a burger at waba grill. But at least it looks great! Interior is very tiny. Very suiting for Japanese style food. Overall, not to

    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.

    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.

    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 filling Ube 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.

    This one's all about simplicity done right. A soft, buttery brioche bun hugs a juicy wagyu patty, melty cheddar cheese, and a generous pile of caramelized onions that bring that perfect sweet-and-savory punch. There's a little bit of sauce smeared under the patty that gives it just enough tang without overpowering anything. The burger's got that smashed, crispy edge going on too, and it works magic with the creamy cheese. The pickle on the side is thick-cut and crisp--super refreshing between bites. No lettuce, tomato, or extras, just that deep, beefy flavor front and center. perfect!

    We liked the spicy chicken sandwich and it came out fast They cut in half and we shared But it was undercooked so I dinged a star We love Orange for thrift shopping and visiting Hilbert museum

    Great Wagu burger !
    John L.

    4.5s.... Definitely really good burger amd frys...4.5 stars is pretty much perfect in my opinion. A little bit pricey , but that's pretty much everywhere $22 for a realy good Wagu burger and frys It's pretty much standard for any high end amber. The cook and clerk were very helpful and friendly.I would definitely give it a try

    Excellent price for the food they offer! Plenty of seating, both benches inside and out. The service staff was friendly too. The smash burger and their loco moco was the right amount of meat, and the one shake was a delight.

    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.

    How come I can't reach you on the number listed on your website? I've tried several times on different days. I get a Verizon message that says this phone's Voicemail is not set up. Is there seating for a party of 7 early 5ish on a Saturday evening?

    There are plenty of sitting outside area. There are heaters too. I don't think they can accommodate 7 people inside the store.

    Any gluten free bun options? and is the meat GF free?

    Unfortunately we do not offer any gluten free offerings at the moment (because of space limitations), but we are definitely exploring for our next location.

    Do you guys plan on making a vegetarian or vegan option?

    We offer the option of Impossible patty for all of our burgers/sandwiches and we also have an amazing croquette sandwich.

The brewery offers beer, seltzers and sours with beer ranges of dark stouts to IPA's. I ordered the "Tomorrow's Bloom" Sour and the "Somewhere Since" Lightish Beer and both were awesome. The sour has a delicious blend of fruit flavors and is as expected sour - for someone who likes sours (me) I would definitely recommend this one. The Somewhere Since is a light beer, but has some depth of flavor. Great try for 5.9% ABV. The brewery has 1 stout which runs at a higher ABV level and can only be ordered in one cute glass size (just a heads up). I' not a Hazy lover myself but I had a couple friends (who are Hazy lovers) order the Hazy that they absolutely did not like (another heads up here). The facility itself is cozy with limited seating and dining options so be prepared to arrive early to snag seats. I went on a Friday night, and it was busy with multiple people standing. The staff overall was very nice and made sure to clear empty glasses and wipe tables quickly. The brewery does not offer food options, but there was a food stand right next to it that was selling Filipino food. The brewery does, however, sell small bar food snacks like pretzels. The spicy pretzels were delicious!

The guy working said to the people in front of me that they sold out. It was my turn I asked if they had it and the guy said that they had a line since 3pm and that they sold out of the keg. We ended up getting two beers since we went anyways but that's when things didn't add up. He kept telling all the other people that started to show up the same thing. These are reasons why it didn't add up 1) empty seats inside but had a line since 3pm and beer was released at 4pm 2) I don't think the people going for younger would just order one beer and not try other RR beers? 3) only one guy working beer counter and having to clean the tables and make sandwiches? 4) 12 oz pours of beer and keg with about 1984 oz would make it 166 beers. No way they sold 166 beers in an hour with one person working the bar and shop empty in an hour. They could have posted on their instagram or socials that they sold out but failed to do so. I'm sure a lot of people all night were disappointed to see that they didn't have it or post anything about it.
