Havana(ハバナ アサイーボウル&グリークヨーグルト) — Restaurant in Kyoto

Right across from our hotel so we looked at the reviews, which prompted to try of course. Boyfriend and I are burger lovers and love to try burgers abroad when we travel. Atmosphere is nice and cozy- retro diner vibes. We came right at their opening time and the whole time we dined only 1 other table entered. Got the normal burger for both of us and a strawberry milkshake for myself.

I thought there was too much sauce in the burger- it was pretty much making the buns soggy since it was served in a sleeve. Patty was decent, little on the soft side and eventually got super soggy and too sweet due to the sauce. I was able to eat about half the burger before the sweetness overpowered me. Too be fair it was a slightly larger sized burger.

They also offer incentive for reviews which is probably why there are so many 5 stars...

The atmosphere is very nice and detailed. Every thing classic rock style. The front door says “in the 50’s” but everything inside is from the 80’s. When I arrived there was another patron with a Oreo milkshake and I knew I wanted one. I ordered the basic cheese burger with fries and shake. The shake came first and is presented very well but on the thinner side, I would have appreciated another scoop of ice cream but for 300 yen with the meal I can’t complain. The burger came and they had soaked the bottom bun with sauce that made it very difficult to eat. The meat itself tasted like it was boiled or steamed definitely not grilled. Very plain...

The place is nice to stop and have a burger after walking for a long time. Had the cheeseburger with fries and the food is pretty big from the looks of it. The twist is the sauce is tangy soy sauce base which is pretty good (recommend to have less sauce if you care to not eat it messy) . They also have other sauce toppings such as ketchup and mustard if you wish to use them instead. The service was great and do recommend people who like to sit down and chow down a burger after a long walk seeing...
