Umami Burger at The Lakes at Thousand Oaks Served Its Last Savory Burger Last Night

The Lakes at Thousand Oaks wasted no time removing most traces of Umami Burger day after closing.

As reported via Instagram yesterday afternoon, Umami Burger at The Lakes at Thousand Oaks closed its doors at the close of business last night, Saturday, January 4, 2020. They originally opened here on May 3, 2012 for a nearly eight year run.

I for one was a fan of Umami Burger but the jury seems a bit mixed on this local eatery. Yes, the burgers were a bit on the pricey side for fans of In N Out Burger, The Habit Burger and Five Guys (all of which I also enjoy) but pricing aside, I always enjoyed them. I also tried my very first Impossible Burger here at Umami Burger back in June 2017.

I visited Umami Burger yesterday and enjoyed my last burger at the bar around 2pm. There was one family at a table inside and another group outside. Kind of a lonely farewell. So long, Umami Burger, and best of luck to your entire staff in securing new jobs.

My final Umami burger. Looked better in person.
