I went here with my daughter just for the burgersThey were reviewed favorably on worth it, a you tube channel and we just had to check out their signature ketchup leather Location: There are three that I know of and this was the closest to UCLA. Its on a rather quiet road, near to a couple of Japanese plant nurseries. Easy to reach with Uber Ambience:Your standard small bar restaurant. Clean, sunny with wooden benches and seating outside, say 4 tables outside and 8 inside. An one Kitchen shares half of the room with. A menu board above the kitchen A nice warm and cozy atmosphere, youd love to unwind here after a long day at work!Service:Very good, with a smile and quick. I was careful to tip at least 20%. Apparently very important in the US.Food:We just tried two variations of burgers, but the menu board listed quite a lot more. I had a really cloudy yellow artisanal beer, which was OK with the burger, though m, on retrospect, maybe a light lager would have paired better with itThe burgers are excellent. Served on a buttered bun, quite large and are so juicy, that your dish is covered in drippings after the first bite. There was their signature slice of ketchup leather, which was interesting to bite into, but it was the burger itself that was the star. Wed added bacon with it, as you is well known, bacon makes everything taste a lot better and burgers are no exception!Id give this burger an A or an A plus. Was it worth flying down to LA to try? Maybe not just for the burger, but if youre ever in LA and you like burgers ,you have to give this a try!
While this location is wildly popular on Sawtelle (like most of Sawtelle), there are so many other great burger joints to go to, so don’t be fooled by the hype..Everytime I stand and wait 30 minutes to get into this place I leave disappointed.This place is perfect for the trendy young ‘really I’m not a hipster!’ type. It uses cheap parlor tricks like ketchup leather and massive amounts of grease, but ultimately doesn’t deliver enough to make it a destination. The dashi cheese on the Plan Check signature burger in my opinion just doesn’t work…not sure if I ‘m eating fermented fish or a cheeseburger, and the chef never got the memo that the best fries are fried in duck-fat not beef tallow, which hasn’t added any flavour or texture.That said, find out for yourself…you might find you like it some of the options when you’re shame-eating hungover on a Sunday afternoon.
Plan Check is a Japanese-inspired new American gastropub. They have several locations in LA but I go to the one on Sawtelle the most as its closest to me. This location is sort of on the smaller side – with communal tables inside and more seating on the patio. It can get really crowded (waited almost an hour last time I went on a Friday night) so just be prepared (it’s worth it though). Parking can also be tough during busy time but you can usually snag some walkable street parking or they offer valet!The food here is really good. I love that they offer specials and their drinks are also killer. My favorite thing on the menu is their jidori fried chicken (comes with pickled okra) and my favorite drink is their Little Osaka Sour (basically a whiskey sour). I really enjoy coming here to eat good food and drink good drinks with friends or for work meetings! sylviageatery.com
Plan Check is serving up crazy cool burgers, sides, beers and drinks. This place is delicious, trendy and downright original. From the interesting ketchup leather to their actual ketchup, this trendy spot has me coming back for more! Having a few locations, one on Fairfax, in Downtown LA and on Sawtelle, this restaurant is sure to make your taste buds buzz!First thing is first, the burgers. They range from $11-14 and are a little small. However, they really do stack them up, so Id say maybe one and fries or a side and some beer and youll be golden! The small size is worth it, because every amazing bite makes up for it. If you need, get another ;).The PCB Burger, pictured above, which stands for the Plan Check Burger contains Dachi Cheese, Ketchup Leather, onions and pickles. The Ketchup Leather is really something special, hello, who would ever think of ketchup as candy leather? It gives a nice chewy but bitable feel and tasted like ketchup too! The pickles gave it a crunch and the meat was cooked to perfection. Im big on grilled onions so this really brought the whole burger together with the cheese as well. The bun was also original in that in had an unexpected crunch on the outside.The Blueprint Burger has a totally different taste than the PCB Burger. It contains blue cheese, pig candy, FRIED onions, garlic steak sauce and pepper cress. Okay, pig candy is just candied bacon and this is out of this world. Next time, I am going to see if I can order a side of this, simply amazing. Such a different perspective and taste of bacon, and when you pair it with the burger, it really matches up perfect. The Blue Cheese is creamy and gives a stingy but cheesy taste. Something that makes this burger crunchy is the fried onions, also another interesting item on a burger. The sauce is barbeque-ish, which gives a totally different taste than the PCB burger. Both these burgers were amazing and I cant wait to try the rest, and these again and again and again.The fries were just regular potato fries with ketchup and I asked for Salt and Pepper Mayo which tasted like a garlic aioli meets ranch. The ketchup was so different. The taste was fresh and a strong tomato flavor. If you are not up to trying new sauces, these might not be the sauces for you, especially if you like the traditional ketchup, however, you will NOT be disappointed. I am still thinking about the ketchup to this moment. The flavors were pasty, tomato with a little lemon and a citrus feel and a little sour, but sweet, really really delicious. The IPA beer was also delicious and paired nicely with the burgers.I came to this place with high expectations and actually going here knocked it out of the park. As well as the food, the service was great. The waiters were really nice and pleasant and helpful. The service and wait time was good, no wait time and the prices are REASONABLE. Cute seating on the Sawtelle location. The water cups and silverware, plates also gives a nice trendy feel. Definitely check out this place because I will definitely be coming back for more! It contained the perfect components for a wonderful dining experience. instagram.com
If you’re into burgers, this is the place for you! They have huge burgers that are artisan and tasty. They have a full bar too, which is a treat. The sweet potato fries are good, but I recommend ordering a side of the creamy mustard salad dressing to dip them in. The donuts for desserts are also amazing! Everything here is very heavy for me. The food is delicious, but it’s hard to find something healthy and light on the menu. lucismorsels.com
Great burgers but poor management, they update the price of the menu at the time of paying, not very elegant…
Friendly service, good pricing, solid food (not much variety) facebook.com
