I stumbled on this spot while working in the Venice Beach area. I love burgers and and could not resist a Japanese burger joint. As I entered the space I was immediately greeted by and enthusiastic and welcoming bartender named Lucas. Lucas is the kind if bartender and server that you immediately feel like you want to be friends with. After bellying up to the bar I noticed the ambiance of the clean and well designed restaurant. Ample bar seating as well as tables to accommodate the lonely traveler as well as families. The beer offerings are quaint but well chosen with support of local and regional craft beer as well as some of the best asian imports. Lucas suggested that I try the local amber ale from pizza port and it paired up well with my food. I had the Spam Musabi burger and it was arranged perfectly with fried egg, avocado, grilled Spam, Smokey bacon, crisp hash-browns American cheese, and medium burger with sauce all on a perfectly toasted bun. I got the garlic parmesan french fries that were cooked with some crisp and seasoned well. The burger was hard to set down it was so well balanced with all the flavors melding into something that you savored but craved more of with each bite. Alternating bites of burger french fries and sips of the Pizza Port Amber is a best practice. Im already planning my next visit so I can try all of these burgers. Go to Humble Potato when you are in the Venice beach area it will not disappoint.
