    We were walking around in the little town, and we discovered this pop up vendor inside a parking lot next to a brewery. Chef Darko greeted us with a warm welcome. He is very friendly and showed us his ingredients. They use ube burger buns. Menu is small, but that is what I like because I am often indecisive! We picked the OG Burger. The burger was made to order. The burger patty is bigger than the buns. The patty was tender and juicy. It was not overcooked at all! I love this place, and will for sure stop by again. Street parking is available and the parking lot has some space for parking too.

    THE DARKINATOR!! Some smashed patties, some chilli, some tri tip, all on this incredible UBE BUN

    Absolutely stellar culinary (and vibes) experience, hidden off the beaten path. Make your journey, it's so worth it. I joined Yelp because I absolutely love owner operators with passion, because they make a better product and love to make things better. Nobody I've ever found has embodied that more than Chef Darko. First off, the whole parking lot setup had room for my toddler daughter to play and pick flowers, and run over to me for the next round of deliciousness. My wife found a spot near her on the bench, while Chef Darko and I chopped it up a bit while he cooked. His story is one of realizing the things that really make us happy, and that by focusing on making something incredible from our own heart, the outcome can never be wrong so make that dream happen by any means available. Ugh, man I'm a fan for life. My man also has some good tunes keeping the vibe more than the sizzling of burgers. His creativity on the spot at the end of the day created one of most epic burgers I've ever had. We agreed we'd call it the Darkinator. My man really had a few things at the end of the day and created a fat boy challenge that I'll never forget. How many kinds of meat can a man handle? Oh, we WILL find out! Also, I'm a bit of a birria connoisseur so I had to try Chef Darko's take on it. A beautiful dish, with the acidity to cut through it all. The most original take that still was solid birria. And Da OG! This is what got us to swing by in the first place and it hit the spot, and a perfect bun because it wasn't too bread-y like some buns can get. His fresh made ube buns were just hands-down amazing. Wrapped around all of this amazing flavor, you can't help but feeling happy with each bite. Go and see the cool kid spot before it gets blown up. We made a decent detour on our little roadtrip to go out there and were rewarded with core memories. Thank you Chef Darko!

    Chill place with great food! I went last week for the first time and the chef complemented me on my SOAD shirt so we were talking about them for a bit. I came wanting to try the burger on the ube bun which is called the OG because he was the first to do the ube buns, which he told me he makes fresh each day. He was nice enough to give me one birria taco on the house. I also appreciated that he was willing to grill the onions for my burger. Everything was great! The burger was delicious and tasted high quality. And since I came here in a burger mood and not as much in a taco mood, the taco was a surprise star for me! Apologies for the partially eaten food pics but when I saw the food, I just wanted to dig in! I'll definitely be back. I got my food to go but I'd like to try it there at the brewery another time.

    I have never had a tastier hamburger in my life It's all homemade and the chef is a class act. I encourage everyone reading this to give it a chance. I got to try the homemade chili and it was equally as amazing. Every element of the smash burger went perfectly together. The sauce was divine (as if made by God himself). The ube bun was perfectly balancing sweet and nutty flavors. The onion were grilled to perfection, and pickles resting perfectly on the patty. I want to go eat another one just typing this review...

    10/10 burger! The OG burger was so bomb. The ube flavor is very subtle and overall, so delicious! Definitely recommend if you're craving a good burger

    The burger was great! The ube bun is a mixture of a potato and kings Hawaiian roll. Definitely want to try the rest of his menu next time.

    ​The King of Sierra Madre, Chef Darko is delivering heart-felt fast casual delights like Smashburgers and corned beef on ube buns with his super special goddess sauce. His passion for excellent food and genuine vibes shine thru his creations and character. Thank you, chef!

    Good food and friendly service! Love the beers at the brewery too. Get the chili with cheese and onions

    AMAZING!!!! MUST TRY... This guy blew me away. Read the reviews and thought, yeah right. I would easily say it was the best burger I have ever had. NO JOKE! Simple burger, but the way the flavors come together, incredible. You must go visit this guy. My son couldn't put his burger down until he finished it, and it was big for him.

    We love coming to RT Rodger's in Sierra Madre and enjoying a delicious ube burger with a cold beer or seltzer. Darko's burgers are SO good and so unique! Such a fun meal.

    Chef Darko always comes in clutch! From tacos to burgers & hot hogs (with his very unique twist) my girlfriend and I always make a point grab a bite when visiting our favorite micro pub! If you are looking to try something new and meet a genuine kind upcoming chef - visit his booth!! - smash burger - chili dog

    All I'm gonna say is you NEED to try the Ube Smashburger. No exaggeration, it's one of the most unique and flavorful burgers I've ever had, and I've had my fair share of smashburgers over the years. The buns are made fresh daily, soft, slightly sweet, and it brings everything together in the best way possible. Also, if you get the chance, chat it up with Remrick. Super chill, down to earth guy who clearly loves what he does and is just good vibes all around. Do yourself a huge favor and check this place out.

I, for one, immediately noticed the huge mural that heralds our Greatest Laker Ever the moment I pulled offve Live Oak into the small lot that abuts Fantastic. Digging further, I discovered that the "Eat Fantastic" quintet of restaurants that dot the greater LA metropolitan area ARE IN FACT a modernized spinoff of the "Cafe Fantastic" chain that Gen Xers like me fondly recall. Sheeeeeeeeeiiit. True story- All throughout my time at San Pedro High, my best friend Mick and I usta demolish their Combo Burger Platter (burger/fries AND onion rings, side salad and drink) for only $3.65. 40yr flashback over, your favorite Yelp correspondent went for Fantastic's pastrami sandwich combo. And while it doesn't come with a quintet of items guaranteed to fillya up- I can vouch that the pastrami is legit!!! Well seasoned, peppered, served steaming hot aboard a French roll gently slicked with mustard. I've had my share of fabulous pastrami in my time- Katz Deli in NY, Brent's Deli in Northridge and more locally and if you're in a severe 'strami fix...then Togo's #9 will do ya, too. This doesn't compete at those lofty levels, but for its price I'll order this eight days a week over the razor-thin pastrami dispensed by the overrated The Hat chain of pastrami-phixated locales! While this was a takeout order, I can attest that all of my.prior dealings w/ the Eat Fantastic staff has been just fine. Courteous and swift service.

I especially liked the beehive-style seating. It gives each table a little more privacy, making it a great place for date night. Or, in our case... another mommy-and-me date night. I was a little disappointed they didn't serve hot tea as I always order a hot cup of tea with my meal. We ordered two A1 Classic Combos ($24.99 each). Each combo came with a bowl of Tokyo Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen, a steamed pork bao bun, and matcha pudding with red bean. Tokyo Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen The broth was rich and creamy. Overall, the ramen was okay. Steamed Pork Bao Bun The bun was soft and fluffy, and the pork was tender. It was simply the highlight of the meal. Matcha Pudding with Red Bean Neither my daughter nor I liked this dessert. It would be a great addition if we had choices for the dessert. The service could improve. Aside from bringing out our food, there wasn't much interaction with the staff.

XiAn Foodie 李老三 serves food that is not only delicious, but authentic and full of soul. The handmade noodles were impressive. perfectly chewy and springy, soaking up the rich sauce. Every bite was flavorful and satisfying! The lamb skewers, beef skewers, beef shank noodles, lamb & carrot dumplings, and oil-splashed noodles are all highly recommended. Everything was tender, aromatic, and clearly prepared with great care and attention to flavor and ingredients. Spice lovers will definitely be happy here, but even if you normally don't eat spicy food, you'll still find yourself going back for bite after bite. The restaurant itself is simple yet elegant, clean, and comfortable, with the warm feeling of a beloved local spot. The service is friendly, and the food comes out quickly, creating a relaxed and welcoming dining experience. Especially after a long day, having a hot bowl of their oil-splashed noodles feels genuinely comforting. If you enjoy unique Xi'an cuisine, I highly recommend giving this place a try. You can taste that the flavors have not been overly adjusted just to appeal to the masses. Instead, the restaurant preserves the authentic spirit, warmth, and bold flavors of traditional Xi'an cooking.
