Las Vegas Trip Day 1: Dinner @ Umami Burger, Beer Garden & Sports Book

Oct. 23rd, 2014

Umami Burger, Beer Garden & Sports Book @ SLS Hotel

Food:  2.5/5   Service:  2.5/5   Atmosphere:  2.5/5   Price:  3/5

UMAMI is located in SLS hotel. The name sounds Japanese to me so I Wiki it! Here's the details! LOL

Umami /uːˈmɑːmi/, a savory taste,[1][2][3] is one of the five basic tastes (together with sweet, sour, bitter and salty).

A loanword from the Japanese (うま味?), umami can be translated as "pleasant savory taste".[4] This particular writing was chosen by Professor Kikunae Ikeda from umai (うまい) "delicious" and mi (味) "taste". The kanji 旨味 are used for a more general sense of a food as delicious.

People taste umami through receptors for glutamate, commonly found in its salt form as the food additive monosodium glutamate (MSG).[5] For that reason, scientists consider umami to be distinct from saltiness.[6]

We made reservation prior our arrival so we sat down quickly with no wait!

My hubby's Signature Burger
Very juicy and good texture!

My Ahi Tuna Burger
Very fresh and surprising delicious! 
 The vinegar marinated veggie on top of the patty was very refreshing.

Kirin Frozen Beer
 The frozen beer on top acts as a cover to keep the beer extra cold longer time. 
Thumbs up!

Truffle Skinny Fries
 The aroma just melted my heart haha....This delicious truffle fries completed the meal.
Onion rings with a malted tempura batter
The rings were light and crispy!
  
A must try for all burger lovers.
