Wagyu by the Water: A HiHo Cheeseburger Experience in Marina del Rey

If you’re looking for a burger spot that actually lives up to the hype, HiHo Cheeseburger is one that delivers on all fronts.
We visited the Marina del Rey location, and the setting alone is a win….right by the marina, with a laid-back coastal vibe that elevates the entire experience. It’s one of those places where the location genuinely enhances the food.


Now let’s talk about the burgers. The Wagyu beef is the star here, and you can taste the difference immediately. The flavor is rich, juicy, and has a depth that sets it apart from your typical burger spot. Even better, it’s halal, making it an easy choice for those looking for high-quality options that meet dietary needs.
One thing that really stood out, and doesn’t get talked about enough……..is the bread. The bun is soft but structured, the perfect “vehicle” for the meat. It holds everything together without overpowering the burger, which is exactly how it should be.
If you’re someone who likes variety, this is your place. There are plenty of topping combinations to mix things up, so whether you’re a purist or like to experiment, you’ll find something that hits.

What really elevates the experience is their commitment to simplicity and quality. They use freshly ground beef seasoned with just salt and pepper, letting classic flavors shine. Every detail is intentional, from hand-cut fries and slow-cooked onions to freshly baked buns made without preservatives or high fructose corn syrup.
And don’t skip the milkshakes. They’re made from scratch with simple, real ingredients and pair perfectly with the richness of the burgers. Even the pies and vegan options are thoughtfully crafted, showing that quality runs through the entire menu.
Overall, HiHo Cheeseburger is a must-visit if you’re in the area. Great burgers, a great location, and a menu built on quality and flavor…..it’s the kind of place you’ll keep coming back to.
