Gate-near option in T-B when you want a burger
Umami Burger sits airside in the Tom Bradley International Terminal (T-B), on the main dining level above the central hall. It runs typical terminal hours, roughly 10:00 to 22:00, tracking the long-haul bank. This is a quick-service version of the LA chain, so you order at the counter, get a buzzer, and grab a table in the shared seating area facing the concourse.
Signature burgers run in the $15–$20 range before tax, with fries and a drink easily pushing a basic meal over $25. The classic Umami Burger patty comes topped with parmesan crisp, mushroom, and umami ketchup; that’s the move if you want the brand’s original flavor. Portion sizes skew smaller than a typical US sit-down spot, closer to a 1/3 lb patty than a 1/2 lb stack.
Beer and wine are available, with drafts usually around $10–$13 and canned options a dollar or two under that. Expect a short list of local California brews alongside standard macros. If you need to keep it light before a 13-hour flight to Asia, there’s usually at least one salad and a turkey or meatless burger on the menu, with patties like Impossible or similar plant-based options rotating in.
Service time during the evening long-haul rush can hit 20–25 minutes from payment to food in hand, especially between 18:00 and 21:00 when European and Asian departures stack up. Seating is shared with neighboring outlets in the T-B food court, so snagging a table for a group of four can be tough during that window. Power outlets are scattered along the rail seating facing the concourse, but not every stool has one.
Tip: if your flight leaves from a non-Tom Bradley gate (like 4, 5, or 7), plan at least 15–20 minutes to walk back from Umami Burger to your departure gate, since T-B’s central hall sits a decent hike from the far concourse ends.
