Burger Hunter 버거헌터 - Chain Burger Place

Check out My Youtube Channel!

Burger Hunter is a chain burger place that has a few locations throughout Seoul.  The original location that I used to frequent was near Nonhyeon station, but I believe that it has closed down.  The locations that I know of are mostly located in shopping malls.

The burgers in this place are large and decent and they are not too expensive.  They come with a huge patty and a large slice of cheese as well as decent vegetables.  I have tried several things on the menu and I have enjoyed all of them.  This last time I was sick so I opted for the pasta as opposed to a burger, and I also enjoyed the pasta.  It came with a large meatball and tomato sauce.  It basically tasted like something you'd make for yourself at home.

We also had an order of onion rings which were ok, but not really all that great.  I wouldn't necessarily recommend ordering these.

Geckos

Geckos is a chain sports bar and grill that has various locations throughout Korea.  Probably the most famous location is in Itaewon, Seoul, but they have several other locations and even a location in the southern part of Jeju island.  The main reason to go to this bar is it is a nice relaxing place to chill out with some friends and have a drink with a Western sports bar atmosphere.

The food in this place is not bad but it is not spectacular either and as you might expect at a Western type of sports bar, the prices are not cheap.  A lot of the dishes are around 15,000 won which is about the average price for night time places in Seoul.  I have had the quesadilla and the burger and both were pretty average.

As I said above, the thing that really stands out about this place is the cool atmosphere which is very much like a pub you'd find in the West.  It is a great place to go with some friends and have a chat because it is not too loud like some other bars.

Hand in Hand Burger 핸인핸버거 - Hongdae 홍대

Check out My Youtube Channel!

Hand in Hand Burger is a burger place that I have been to several times without disappointment.  It is located in Hongdae on the same road as the university going in the direction of Sinchon.  This place makes a damn fine burger and I recommend giving them a try.

The atmosphere in this place is nothing special.  It kind of feels like a fast food joint and there is not too much in terms of seating.  Most of the restaurant is the kitchen which you can see in on and watch them cook from the seating.  The seating is bar stools against a bar table and there is a sink in the back where you can wash your hands after eating which is absolutely necessary after eating one of these burgers.

The burgers contain huge pieces of meat and that is about it.  Just about everything you can imagine is an add on including vegetables but also cheese, egg, bacon, etc.  One thing I must warn you about is although this burger is excellent, they decided to ruin it with some weird sauce that they put on it.  I highly recommend asking them not to put this nasty sauce on there and instead asking them to put the normal mayonnaise and ketchup that you find on normal burgers.  It is also essential to order the vegetables and in my opinion the cheese as well, but then customize it as you like.

Another thing that they do really well at this place in the onion rings.  They are heavily breaded and fried.  The breading contains a mix of spices that blend together fantastically and it comes with a side of a unique mayonnaise like sauce that compliments the onion rings as well.  Get the burger set with veggies, cheese, onion rings and change out the sauces.

Cafe Burano 카페부라노 - Brunch in Hongdae 홍대 브런치

Check out My Youtube Channel!

Cafe Burano is a very large, popular and bustling brunch restaurant that is located in Hongdae.  It has the atmosphere of a typical American brunch place and was quite vibrant and filled with people on the Sunday afternoon that I visited.  It is a large and wide open place that would be really good to go with a few friends or with a big group.  This is really a place for all occasions.

Since this place had such a factory feel, I was a bit surprised at the quality of the food.  The brunch come with several different options including a choice of different types of eggs and omelettes as well as a choice of waffles, pancakes or french toast and some other options as well.  I went for the vegetable omelette and was pleasantly surprised.  It was essentially scrambled eggs with grilled vegetables in the center.  It also came with bacon, sausage which was actually a hot dog, salad and home fries.  All of these were excellent, but I was especially impressed by the home fries.  Additionally, the portions were huge which is always important to me.

This place is gives a ton of great quality food and I recommend going down there and giving it a try some lazy Sunday.

Flapjack Pantry 플랩잭팬트리 - Brunch in Yeonnamdong Hongdae 홍대 연남동 브런치집

Check out My Youtube Channel!

Flapjack Pantry is a brunch place that is located in Hongdae's vibrant Yeonnamdong.  I'd like to start off by saying that if you have never been to Yeonnamdong, you should definitely give it a try.  There is a really cool park that they put in about a year ago and a ton of different restaurants Korean and foreign.  There is a huge concentration of Chinese and Taiwanese restaurants, but there are a ton of other foreign options as well.

Flapjack Pantry is a western style brunch place with a very nice and relaxing atmosphere.  It is wide open and they were playing some pretty chill music when I visited as well.  The spacious interior feels like a mix between a restaurant and a cafe and has a welcoming atmosphere that feels like you could stay there and have a chat after you've finished your meal.

The food in this place is not all that cheap, but to me the massive American style portions that they serve makes up for this.  It is getting more and more difficult to find places that serve enough food for a guy like me, but you should not have an issue when you visit this place.  Both of the dishes that we ordered were mixed brunch plates and both were excellent.  One came with scrambled eggs and a salad, the other with a sausage (which was actually a hot dog), a sunny side up egg, beans and tomatoes.  Both dishes included bacon, pineapple, hash browns, and a pancake.

The eggs tasted exactly like any American brunch place as did the bacon.  The hash browns did not appear to be homemade, but rather a store bought type of thing.  They were still pretty good despite this.  The sausage was not the typical breakfast sausage served in the States, but rather a hot dog.  The beans appeared to be canned baked beans and the pineapple was also canned.  The tomato was a huge grilled piece of tomato and the salad had a ton of different types of greens.  Finally, the pancake was just a singular huge pancake and was absolutely delicious.  This is one of the best brunch deals in the area considering the portions, the quality of the food and atmosphere of this place.  You should definitely give this place a try.

Eat Burger 이트버거 - Sinchon 신촌

Eat Burger is a new burger place in Sinchon that makes a fine handmade burger.  There burgers are a little on the smaller side so I usually have to get the super burger set in order to fill me up.  These burgers are greasy and covered in cheese which is what makes them taste so darn good.  Although perhaps not great for the health this place is a recommendation.

This place has an attentive staff and it is just a small typical restaurant you would go with a friend or a small group.  The burgers come out pretty quickly, so it is nice when you are in a rush or when you are craving a nice burger.  There is not much else to say about this place.  I recommend giving it a try.

Bro's Burger 브로스버거 - Sinchon / Idae 신촌 / 이대

Bro's Burger is a tiny little burger restaurant situated kind of between Idae and Sinchon.  The restaurant is quite small only having two tables on the floor and a couple more in a loft over the kitchen.  This is not exactly a party place, but a place to go with a friend or a small group when you want a handmade burger.

The burgers are pretty good.  It is one of the better places in the area, however there is not too much competition.  I recommend this place if you are craving a burger, but honestly there is not too much to say about it apart from that and the owner is a super nice guy who will take care of you well.
