AMBOY Quality Meats and Delicious Burgers är en relativt nytt litet hål i väggen i Chinatown, Los Angeles. Restaurangen startades av burgarprofilen Alvin Cailan, känd som programledare för First We Feasts YouTube-succé The Burger Show. Menyn var kort och koncis, men krävde ändå lite tankeverksamhet när den glada killen bakom kassan skulle förklara den. Alla burgare gick att få i tre olika utföranden; Classic med två tunt smashade puckar, Slim Thicc med en mellanstor puck på ca 150 gram eller DH med ca 285 gram hängmörat kött. Vid vårt besök erbjöd de tre olika hamburgare, och vi beställde deras Amboy-burgare som både Classic och DH. Utöver köttet så innehöll de ”new school american cheese”, karamelliserad lök, pickles och burgarsås i ett sesambröd, och kostade 10 respektive 21 USD (105/220 kronor). Vi beställde även in Garlic Fries och Amboy Fries för 9 USD (95 kronor) vardera.

Burgarna kom snabbt ut ur köket och doftade helt otroligt gott. Brödet var täckt med sesamfrön, men trots detta så var de väldigt mjuka och hade en fin stuns den mängden sesamfrön tog faktiskt inte över. De tunt smashade köttpuckarna i vår Classic smakade bättre än de såg ut, men bleknade lite i jämförelsen mot det hängmörade köttets otroliga köttsmocka och perfekta konsistens. Det var dock väldigt mycket köttsafter som mot slutet såsade ner brödet, men som tur var så höll det ihop ända till slutet. Kombinationen av alla ingredienser och proportioner var perfekt avvägd. Våra Garlic Fries smakade mycket vitlök utan att ta över för mycket och behöll sin krispighet. Våra Amboy Fries med kött, lök, ost, chili och dressing blev mycket mer mjuka.

Vi lämnade Amboy QMDB otroligt mätta och belåtna över att Alvin lyckats leva upp våra väldigt höga förväntningar. AMBOY Quality Meats and Delicious Burgers serverar numera Los Angeles bästa burgare.

In English

AMBOY Quality Meats and Delicious Burgers is a relatively new little hole in the wall in Chinatown, Los Angeles. The restaurant was started by burger pro Alvin Cailan, known as the host of First We Feast’s YouTube hit The Burger Show. Their menu was short and concise, but still required some guidance from the cheerful guy behind the counter. All the burgers were available in three different versions; Classic with two thinly smashed patties, Slim Thicc with a medium-sized 8 oz (150 gram) patty or a DH with a 10oz (285 grams) dry-aged beef patty. During our visit they offered three different burgers, and we ordered their Amboy Burger as both a Classic and a DH. In addition to the meat, they contained ”new school American cheese”, caramelised onions, pickles and some burger sauce in a sesame bun, and cost 10/21 USD respectively. We also ordered Garlic Fries and Amboy Fries for 9 USD each.

The burgers arrived from the kitchen shortly afterwards and smelled amazing. The bun was covered with sesame seeds, but they were still very soft and had a nice bounce, holding everything together nicely. The thinly smashed beef patties in our Classic tasted better than they looked, but paled a little in comparison to the incredible beefiness and perfect texture from the dry-aged beef. There were a lot of meat juices towards the end of our meal that soaked the bun, but it thankfully held together until the very end. The combination of all ingredients and proportions was perfectly balanced. Our Garlic Fries had a lot of garlic flavour without being overpowering and kept their crispness. Our Amboy Fries with meat, onion, cheese, chilli and dressing got a bit soggy though.

We left Amboy QMDB incredibly satisfied that Alvin had lived up to our very high expectations. This is our new favourite burger in Los Angeles.

🍔 Review № 1397

🇺🇸 @localtide ★★★★☆

Local Tide is a hyped fish restaurant in central Seattle. And while most of the menu focuses on seafood, their burger has also become a bit of a talking point. They don’t take reservations, and when we arrived there were around 20 people queuing outside the small restaurant, with an hour-long wait. Luckily, there was space next door at Aslan Brewing, which served their burger and a handful of other dishes from Local Tide. We ordered their Smash Burger with beef, cheese, caramelised onions and mayo in a brioche bun for 10 USD, as well as a portion of Salt and Pepper Fries for 8 USD. We also tried their Salmon Sando for 16 USD.

After waiting around an hour for our food, our burger arrived neatly presented on a small plate. The bun looked a little flat but was lighter and fluffier than we’d expected. The beef was incredibly juicy and well salted, while the cheese was both creamy and flavourful. The caramelised onions were packed with umami and really enhanced the flavour of the beef. Both the bun and beef had a decent crust, although both could’ve been cooked a little more. Our main critique was that the burger would’ve been even better with a few more crispy components, and perhaps a bit bigger. The fries were like potato wedges and were incredibly well cooked. The generous portion was crispy and well seasoned, and their homemade ketchup was really tasty. The 16 USD salmon burger also impressed us with its fresh salmon fillet, great textures and fresh flavours.

It’s great to see a seafood restaurant serving burgers as good as the ones at Local Tide. The other seafood dishes are of course also worth trying, but make sure to arrive early and be prepared to wait a while for your food.
