About Umami Shack
Umami Shack started with a simple idea: take the smash burger and the all-beef hot dog — two American classics — and give them the flavors we grew up loving. Gochujang heat, miso depth, bánh mì pickles, takoyaki drizzle.
We're a pop-up from Yume Group, which specializes in Asian fusion concepts — including Yume Asian Fusion, Hawker Haus, and more. You'll find us cooking on a flattop at night markets, festivals, and markets across the DMV. Every patty is smashed thin for those crispy, lacy edges, seasoned with just salt and pepper, and finished with house sauces — yum yum sauce and gochujang mayo made from scratch.
No shortcuts, no frozen toppings. Just hot, fast, and full of umami.
