Newly opened Japanese burger joint, Ookuma Burger is one of the very few spots in Dallas serving up these teriyaki-infused burgers, a fast-food staple in Japan! Try it, along with Sumo Fries, fried chicken sandwiches with egg Tar Tar, chicken karaage, and more…in this retro, fast casual Cedars spot!

OOKUMA BURGER
Located in the Cedars where Sandwich Hag used to sit, the outdoor walk-up restaurant was brought to life by the minds behind Ka-Tip Thai Street Food, George and YuYee Kaiho who first created the burgers in the form of sliders at their previous bartending jobs. The menu and concept are simple, letting the food speak for itself, with a goal of bringing more Japanese food culture to the community!
THE TERIYAKI BURGERS
Pick your choice of pork, beef or vegan pea protein patties on a toasted brioche bun with Kewpie mayo, iceberg lettuce, and dill pickles. The patties are flattened and cooked in a teriyaki sauce giving them their incredible flavor!
THE REST OF THE MENU
The menu is short and sweet, making the burgers the main star of the show, with a variety of sides for pairing. In addition to their burgers, there is also a Fried Chicken Tar Tar sandwich, with Kewpie mayo, which we LOVED!
Or try beloved Japanese sides including:
🐙 Takoyaki: a beloved, deep-fried snack consisting of octopus and tempura
🍗 Chicken Karaage: fried chicken bites
🥔 Korokke: a fried potato dish
🍟 Sumo fries: cheese, Mayo, chili flakes, Green onion Bonito fish flakes
