    Double ok burger
    Rosie H.

    I've been on a smash burger frenzy lately. Located in an unsuspecting strip mall, this place is serving up some bomb smash burgers. There isn't a lot of tables but it seems like people eat pretty quick and leave just as fast. The restaurant is pretty basic inside, a few tables and then the kitchen in the back. The guy taking the order was friendly and the food came out relatively quickly. We ordered the single and double OK burgers with fries. I overheard the people working there saying that the fries are fried in beef tallow? Awesome. I should have ordered a side of kimchi to add it to my burger (excuse me but I am Korean, LOL). Everything was fresh, tasty, and cooked to perfection. And the prices are reasonable, especially in this economy! This is easily one of my favorite smash burger joints.

    This is a little hole in the wall spot that operates with limited hours. The place is small so you might need to have your order to go during peak lunch times. Food is made to order so everything is served hot. We got a backyard burger and OK burger with fries. Backyard Burger- This comes with cheese,ketchup, mustard, pickles, and onion, though I opted to hold the last one. Patty is squashed thin with a lovely crisp edge. Bun is soft. Cheese is gooey and melty. OK Burger- This comes with house sauce, pickles, grilled onions, and cheese. I cannot get over how good their smashed burger patties are. Fries- Served crisp in a cute chinese to go box. Pairs wonderfully with the burgers. Great experience overall!

    Pros -Great FRESH burgers -A large amount of seasoned fries -Helpful service who will give recommendations -Free self serve refills Cons -Minus 1 star for the atmosphere if you dine in. It's so stuffy and hot. Poor ventilation. It feels like you're eating right next to the griddle. We were very uncomfortable. -Due to poor ventilation and how uncomfortable it was to eat, I would do take out.

    Easily one of the best smash burgers in the area. It's a small hole in the wall, and the lunch rush can mean a long wait, but it's absolutely worth it. The prices are great too, especially for the quality. What we got: 1. California Burger (Double) - $10 | 9/10 So good. The patties were juicy, perfectly seasoned, and packed with flavor. Easily one of my favorite burgers in the area. 2. Fries - $4 | 8/10 Solid fries. Nothing too fancy, but they paired really well with the burger. 3. Bulgogi Bibimbap - $12 | 7/10 It was decent, but nothing that stood out. The seasoning was good, but compared to the burger, it just wasn't as memorable. Overall, I'd come back for the burger every time. If you're in the area and craving a quality smash burger at a great price, this spot is an easy recommendation.

    Lunch Bang was right down the street so I was very excited to try it! I got the bibimbap and it was tasted good but I felt like it didn't have the typical array of vegetables and was missing some flavors, so wasn't my favorite. I saw many people eating the burgers so I think that is the more popular item there, so will have to try that next time! Overall service was fast, but place is not air conditioned so very hot and would not recommend staying to eat. Great for grab and go.

    Second time here. Possibly better than he first and the first time was exceptional. Service is top tier as well. Best Burger Ibe had in a long time.

    A hole in the wall small restaurant, but the quality of food will not disappoint and I am not a burger person, but I would definitely support this place! Plenty of parking in the plaza, but this place gets busy, and there is only like five tables. The service was amazing, the folks were nice and the only tough thing my kids had a hard time with was it was pretty hot inside the restaurant. I love that the menu is super simple, and the burgers reminded me of a smash burger, the patty was thin with tons of flavors, and the buns they serve were super soft and light. I saw many folks waiting in line to eat there, but also many order and leave. There was always a constant rush of customers. We had the OK and California burgers, their fries were so crunchy and tasted so good!

    Lunch Bang is a small hole in the wall lunch spot. They are located in a small strip mall with plenty of parking available. They are open from 10:00am to 3:30pm and closed on Sunday. The interior is very unassuming, and almost seems like a pop-up in a vacant space. It is very raw but clean, and has five small tables inside. I arrived around 10:50am on a Friday morning. There was only one other person eating inside, but within 20 minutes it was packed with people waiting for their orders and hoping for a table to become available. They have a big screen TV mounted on the wall which was playing a World Cup soccer match. It was a cool vibe that everybody was reacting to the game while eating. The menu is very simple with only three burgers and three Korean options. Everything was surprisingly inexpensive. I got a good first impression when I walked up to the counter to order. Doug at the register made a comment about the Top Gun hat I was wearing, which led to some fun conversation. Since it wasn't busy yet, we ended up chatting for several minutes, and he was very friendly. I ordered the Backyard Burger with two patties ($8) and an order of fries ($4). Everything is made fresh to order. There is a cooler against the wall with refrigerated beverages available. My order was ready in about five minutes. When I picked up my order from the counter, I was offered complimentary chilis which I happily accepted. I opened the container and the patties completely fill the inside. The bun was toasted and very soft and fresh. The patties had a great char on them, and the burger was very flavorful with cheese, onions, pickles, mustard, and ketchup inside. This was probably the best smash burger I've ever had. The fries are medium cut and are a generous serving size. They are cooked in beef tallow and had great flavor. The peppers were pretty hot. I was really impressed with the quality and flavor of the food. It tastes even better when it is so inexpensive. This meal was only $13 including tax. This is a place I would definitely return to. I'd recommend coming before or after prime lunch time to avoid the crowd. Five stars all the way, just ignore the very raw interior.

    California Burger, OK Burger, Fries

    Lunch Bang is easy to overlook but absolutely worth a stop. Small, casual, unpretentious -- and the burgers deliver. We ordered the OK Burger, California Burger, and fries. The OK Burger comes with sauce, pickles, grilled onions, and cheese, and the California adds lettuce and tomato. Both were really well executed -- crispy edges on the smash patty, soft bun, generous toppings, and high quality ingredients throughout. You can get a single or double patty which is a nice option depending on how hungry you are. The fries are a standout too -- seemed to be cooked in beef tallow which gives them an extra savory flavor, and the texture leans limpy which I personally really liked. Variety of options for food as well with Korean dishes. Friendly cashier and a solid casual spot overall. Can't wait to come back!

    If you've been sleeping on Lunch Bang, wake up. This spot is quietly putting out one of the better smash burgers in Orange County, and it's doing it without the pretension or the price tag that usually comes with "elevated" burger joints. The burger itself hits exactly how a smash burger should thin, crispy edged patty, great crust from the griddle, and flavor that doesn't rely on a mountain of toppings to carry it. It's light enough that you don't feel weighed down after eating, which honestly sets it apart. The price is one of the most pleasant surprises. For what you're getting quality ingredients, real technique, a burger that actually tastes like someone cared it's genuinely affordable. No sticker shock, no "is this really worth it?"

    Smashing with some bibimbap
    Jessica S.

    An unmarked, literal hole-in-the-wall, Lunch Bang is like some underground operation. The speakeasy of smash burgers and bibimbap which is a random combo, but it's a banging one! The $9 OK double smash Burger was the business! They smashed that patty real, real good... completely obliterated-like. It created the crispiest edges with grilled onions sloppily thrown on top and the secret sauce to really light it up your taste buds. The grease dripping down, mixed in with more of that secret sauce makes for one vivid, sloppy memory. Just about one of the best smashes I've had alongside a $12 Bulgogi bibimbap (skanky much?). The ingredients in the bibimbap recycle the hamburger ground beef but it has all the fixings. To be honest, the recycled meat seems pretty on-brand to me. A SPECIAL, special cheap meal is to be had at Lunch Bang.

    Pretty solid smash burger, it's up there in my top 3 for OC smash burger spots. The patties were smashed and cooked well, had the crispy bits on the side, which I was hoping for. The bun they use is so pillowy, might be one of the best buns I've tried on any burger. The fries are really good here, not sure what tire seasoning is but it's worth. The prices here are really good compared to other spots. The employees are very friendly and the ambiance of the place is quite literally hole in the wall. Parking is pretty chill as there is plenty of spots. Not too much seating inside so you may have to wait for a seat if it's busy. Do be aware that it does get really hot inside the restaurant, not sure if there's a ventilation issue. This place is worth checking out.

    California burger
    Ted S.

    Had a single patty California burger, and enjoyed it immensely. Lacy thin patty with maillard to the max. A ton of flavor from such a small amount of meat. Withe the lettuce, pickles, tomatoes and cheese, it was very balanced on that soft potato bun. 5/5 Fries: ate several but wasn't really a fan. They aren't fried the traditional way, frying once, letting rest, and frying again. These fries still had the bite of the potato. 2/5 Small space, small menu, great burgers.

Servers are attentive, friendly, and super accommodating. Our family's favorite is the beef belly special, a must for everyone who decides to dine here! (Also, this should be dined in, it's not as good when ordered to-go). The banchan is also good. We prefer the chicken katsu over the pork katsu, the chicken is still soft and juicy, which the outside is crispy. The tofu soup is also yummy, good to have something soupy if ordering a lot of the heavier foods. We prefer the tofu soup over the beef belly ramen, it can be a bit salty with the added bacon + spam. Overall--excellent service, ambiance, and food. Will be back!

    Been coming here a bit now, and every time has been great!…read more Parking can be a bit tough depending on the day, there is parking in the back of the building though, so just be prepared! This place is a charming aesthetic when you walk in. It's got some good lighting, not bright, just calm, at least to me. The decor is itself is beautiful, simple, yet beautiful. Service is good! Everyone is nice, they're always on the move, but always willing to help when needed. Food, I never had a bad thing here. And oh my goodness, a one page menu, decision fatigue has lessened! The simple go to for a lot of us has been the Katsu Curry. It's big, but never skimps on flavor. The texture is perfectly crispy, and the meat is juicy! The curry is full of flavor, and all of that with rice, is served in a big stone bowl. So it stays warm your whole meal. Garlic Su Yuk has been a comfort dish since say 1 for me. It's just comfy, with the toppings, I just need to add rice and that's my happy meal. Tofu Stew is that thing I get if I'm either craving soup, or I really need to open my chest because asthma is a pain in the booty. You get that bowl of rice, so I like to add the fried egg to that, let me say that yolk from the egg is an enhancement. The dish is perfect, but egg elevates it! So overall, this one of my comfy food spots. I know the Katsu is viral, but try the other delicious foods here too! You won't regret it!
