Our first visit here pleasantly surprised us. We had an Entertainment Book and thought there was nothing to lose to pay a visit and indeed we discovered a neighbourhood gem! We ordered the Large Chips with the Spicy Mayo, Cheese Sauce & Lemon Garlic Aioli, 2 x Sashimi Taco Cups, a Wasabi Wagyu Beef Burger & the Prawn Katsu Rice Burger. We shared a Yuzu Citrus Soda as well. The chips were the amongst the best thick cut fries I’ve ever had with a red seasoning sprinkled on it. The cheese sauce was to die for and hubby loved the lemon garlic aioli as well. The Sashimi Taco Cups were fresh and very impressive that the taco cups were freshly fried. The only downside was that there was a little too much dressing which made it a bit messy to eat as the dressing was spilling out everywhere.
The Wasabi Wagyu Burger is truly something special. That hit of wasabi when you take the first bite does not mislead you that it’s advertised as it is. My Prawn Katsu Burger had nice crispy rice patties and a succulent piece of prawn katsu inside. The only downside was I felt the burger was a little too oily. Perhaps if the rice patties were of a steamed kind, it may not have been so overwhelming?
The service was attentive and our food and drink came quite quickly. A small restaurant with a small kitchen but impressive what they could pump out!
The restaurant owner is a very warm and accommodating Japanese man who added a special touch to our time here. It’s really nice to see someone engage with their customers.
We would definitely return to try the other mains offered on the menu that’s not in the...
Read moreBuddhaliscious makes great burgers - full stop. Clearly, a lot of attention has gone into creating a really nicely prepared range of traditional and non-traditional hamburgers. I can't understand why anyone would go to a place like Ume Burger when an offering like this is so clearly superior.
Impressively, the menu extends beyond just burgers. We had other items such as the fried chicken (kara-age) and they were universally excellent. I'd thoroughly recommending trying menu items other than just the burgers. The Okonomiyaki Burger isn't really a 'burger', but it is excellent and you must give it a go.
My only complaint here is the seating. Not their fault, but they can only accommodate a maximum group of four and most seating is for only two people. It would be great to be able to come here with a larger group of friends.
But don't let that deter you, this place is the...

Everything here is just so good you cannot find a single dish that is not delicious.
The prawn burger and karaage (fried chicken) are always my go-to together with a macha latte to end my meal. Their burgers are always done very well and with a lot of care - complex flavours for the combination of sauce and protein and the milk buns are always toasted to have a hinge of crispiness to it. Fried chicken always juicy and well marinated. Macha latte, definitely one of the most flavourful macha latte out there and you can definitely taste how much green tea they have put in it. Pork Charsu also melts in your mouth and...
