    Love this spot so much. Total mom n pop setup it makes it all the much better. Don't quote me on this, but I'm fairly certain we're dealing with smash burgers with a japanese style bun. Think crazy elevated burger. The beef tallow fries are also a total hit. Service is top notch and they even have desert treats (but, tbh, snuck in some wine and had one of the best dinners in Culver I've had in awhile). Completely recommend and try to swing by. Check their insta for when they're doing a pop up!

    So this place is located on the corner, so keep an eye out for a burger on a parking meter. It's a nice building with lots of open space. There is a garden sitting area on the side and a balcony sitting area upstairs. When you come in, it's like a pop up style order and cook. I think a family runs the place, mom, pop, and young daughter, so the service is really personal and polite. They have been open since August 2025. I'm surprised I haven't heard of the place since I'm always over in the Westside and looking for great places to eat. Either way, I found them today so, awesome! Now to the food, simple. They serve burgers, fries, and ice cream for dessert, if you want. I went for the double cheeseburger with fries. Both are cooked in the front out in the open so you can watch or go for a little walk about of the place. I chose to walk and take pics. It's a beautiful space with a scenic view upstairs and a cozy setting downstairs. Maybe I'm partial to wood and trees, but I liked it. I was upstairs enjoying the view when my food was delivered, it was so freaking good! I devoured both the fries and cheeseburger within 5-10 minutes for sure. I even added some of the fries to the burger as a throwback to my youth. lol. The meat is cooked just perfectly, not too greasy, not too dry. The fries are something else. For sure you can tell the oil is top tier. I'm a fry addict and I could have eaten an entire plate of just the fries alone. For sure, they need to add more of those to the plate. I already wrote about the burger, it was epic. I've only had one burger better and that was from a chef who worked in a Michelin star restaurant. That tells you something about the meat blend. I think I found my burger place. NOTE: you have to follow them on Instagram to get their hours. They aren't in this location everyday. The hours are posted on Instagram, so I'm going to mosey on over and follow them. I suggest you do the same and go get yourself a great burger. Oh, and don't think it's going to be really quick if there is a full house. There is only one person making burgers and one doing fries so be patient, relax, and enjoy the moment.

    WOW WOW WOW!!! If you look at my Yelp reviews, I rarely give 5 stars. Especially to burger places because they never blow me away. This place blew me away. I saw it on Instagram as a new pop up smash burger place in Culver City and knew I had to try it when I saw they use Japanese milk buns! So I got a double cheeseburger with tallow fries and both were soooo good! The meat is thick and juicy and their "meet up sauce" has a bit of a kick to it and gave the burger so much flavor! They cook the onion in with the burger so the grilled onions and pickles also added great flavor. I can literally eat this burger everyday if I could. They're open on the weekends from 6-10pm but check their Instagram for dates and hours! This was their grand opening weekend, so I suggest you try it before it gets crazy crowded. Because there's ZERO smash burger places anywhere near the area that are this good. The inside had plenty of tables and chairs and outdoor seating too! The tables had a few board games as well and even a really nice rooftop area. Clean bathrooms as well! The staff was all so welcoming and great! Truly makes a business worth supporting when you see all the passion the staff has for their food! Easy free parking in the parking lot across the street.

    Amazing beef tallow fries

    Hands down one of the best burgers I've ever had. So simple with such a classic taste. It felt clean and tasted like it was made with love. From the perfectly toasted buns to the crispy edges and grilled onions, it was soooo good. I came on a Saturday & they have parking lot across the way. The place is really cool, it has pool tables and large TVs. The team and chef were so kind. Can't wait to come back.

    Really good burger all fresh quality ingredients. Great customer service and the cooks are doing right for you. Great place to bring your family and friends to have a good time. Really good mineral waters from Japan and Japan burger buns will definitely come back and I do recommend this to anybody that wants a great burger.

    Burger with the works and fries

    Very good looking and tasty burger. The bun has a pleasant crunch while being soft and toasty. Meat and cheese make a wonderful blend with the jalapeño adding a slight kick without it being overpowering. Fries are excellent and worth the $5. The owners are personable and remembered me when I showed up after talking to them the week before. Lovely atmosphere on a Sunday watching NFL. Has a free pool table so it's ideal to hold gatherings with a large group, or your close friends. The burger is great. You can find good burgers all over LA, but the space and service is most inviting and that's what would encourage me to return.

    You can really taste the difference with the fries being made with beef tallow instead of oil. The service was great and the place is very spacious and clean. Definitely one of my new favorite burger places in LA!

    Delicious smash burger and super nice folks running this place. I have been twice in as many weeks and will keep coming back as long as they are there. The spot is cool too. Very unassuming you could easily miss it, but don't. Trust me.

    Smash burger

    MMMMM!! Bomb burgers, great customer service, and a very nice & social atmosphere. They have large tables, a pool table, a sofa area, and cook their burgers outside. Parking is spacious as well. Stopped by with my mom, pero I guarantee I'll be back :p

    Double cheeseburger
    Yesenia H.

    These smash burgers are DELICIOUS! I got the double cheeseburger. The patty is perfectly cooked and sooo juicy. You can taste the quality! The sauce is amazing too! It's a perfect dip for the crispy beef tallow fries. I'm so glad I finally got to try this place, and will definitely be back!

    Best burger and fries!

    One of my favorite go-to spots for donuts in LA! I particularly enjoy their cake donuts which…read moreconsistently have good flavor and textures. I got my free birthday donut here (sign-up and add your birthday in the app) and I got the Celebration Cake donut. The donut was sweet with a crispy glazed exterior and a soft and fluffy interior. It was also still slightly warm which I liked since it gave me the impression that this was freshly made. It did get a bit too sweet for me towards finishing the donut, so eating half at a time is honestly good enough. This is more of a grab-n-go type of spot, but I think they have some outdoor seating in front of the store. There's also parking which Sidecar can validate. I would highly recommend this chain and it's one of my spots I take visitors to. Also, if you download the app you can get a free drink and donut for your first time :)

I found their donuts to be stale and no fancy type is going to correct that. The place is super cute and very clean. The staff is fine, nothing to write home about. They really don't see too interested in the customers. But they are okay. Parking is pretty easy. What they do make well is coffee. I love dark black coffee and they have that and more and it is very good. Their prices are high-- I think too high. They do have a decent selection on hand. I would go there for coffee, but I won't bother with their donuts anymore. I really hope they work on making sure all donuts are fresh. Their cornbread is good. I have a friend who wanted to try them so we went back and I still found them stale tasting, but great coffee.

After waiting for the employee helping all the customers, I asked for a sample cup and was told they don't do samples. Not sure if this is actually something new company wide or just this shop, felt strange though. Walked over to check out the flavors, and they actually had a few I had not tried before. Then I saw pricing was $1.37/ounce, which seemed high. But it is what it is. Looked at the flavors and tried to determine which of the new flavors night pair well together. After guessing as you aren't allowed to try things before hand at this store, went to grab a cup but they only have the extra large cups to put the yogurt in. And realizing your paying by the ounce, this store is absolutely ripping customers off by only offering the largest cups, making you pay more money for all the enjoy space you won't be using. After so many red flags, I just decide to leave, this store is not worth my business considering how it is being run with pricing, only offering the largest cups and not allowing you to try flavors prior to purchasing. Skip this Yogurtland and get dessert somewhere else

I had to have him try it since he's a "vanilla latte connoisseur". He said it was one of the best! I also tried all the pastries. Olive cake and chocolate banana bread were fiireeeeeee! Loved how moist banana bread was! The olive cake was also still really good the next day after you warmed it up. Both were not overly sweet which I love! The cookie was okay. We didn't like the salt on top of it. It was kind of weird too that the staff if I wanted salt in my matcha. Not sure if that's a thing??? Ambiance is casual.

Today, I got to join the fun and enjoy a lovely dinner at Massillia! Surprised the relatives for their 5:30 reservation. I was supposed to stay for just a drink, but I was having such a great time, I had to crash the entire dinner! 5:30 on a Friday night was the perfect time. It was chill and quiet. The restaurant itself is super relaxing and had a nice ambiance. To start, I asked the waitress to bring me a fruity cocktail and what she handed me was delicious. I totally forgot to snag the name, but it was refreshing and yummy. For food, my aunts ordered EVERYTHING! we are a vegetable loving family and definitely got lots of yum yum that reflected that: ratatouille, salad, mushrooms, calamari, mashed potatoes, broccoli, salmon flatbread, and so much more. Everything was so flavorful! I really enjoyed every dish we got! If I had to choose some absolute favorites it would be the salad and the ratatouille! Both were incredible ( along with everything else). Finished the meal off with the pear dessert and a glass of port. Yummy! Great meal with family! I'll happily be back in Massilia to have another lovely dinner.
