Awaji Island Burger — Restaurant in Nishinomiya

This tiny place is easy to miss if you don't know what you're looking for. The menu is in Japanese only - but it's real easy to understand. You have a choice of regular or large burger - then you can add toppings (I got bacon and cheddar cheese).

There is also an instruction sheet on how to eat your burger - in Japanese only. Again - not too difficult. The burger comes wrapped in foil - with the palm of your hand, press down on the top to flatten the burger - then peel the foil away from the front side and enjoy.

The photos I've attached show the burger pre-flattened and post.

There was no onion ring on ours - and onion rings were not available on the menu. It was not clear if they were out or they discontinued them. I had heard about them, so I was a tiny bit disappointed.

The burger was delicious and juicy. The bun was soft and tasty, but I don't think it was house made. Fries were over salted, but otherwise tasty.

Definitely...

Never again. The woman taking orders is extremely rude and made us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome.

The Burger was average at best; outsourced frozen patty, onions are the famous Awaji Island type so naturally amazing and the bun was dry and tasteless. Overly sloppy as too much sauce was applied and the tin foil wrapping was harsh and abrasive on the skin when trying to eat the burger.

I witnessed the fires being poured into the fryer and they are just frozen oven fries such as McCanes or equivalent.

Shame about the experience as my close friend took me here and was keen for me try it as I enjoy good burgers and know of many in the Osaka area.

Even if the burger was good. I’d give the restaurant a single star based on the treatment we were given by the lady...

The best burger in Japan (I have been to all 47 prefectures and tried lots of famous burger joints). You can order regular for 600 yen or large for 700 yen. Toppings are 100 yen each: cheese, bacon and an onion ring. The fries are only ok so go for a portion of onion rings. They have a limited selection of drinks. There are only 6 seats inside so most people get take away and eat it in their cars. Go for a large burger with all the toppings, best burger for 1000 yen around. Recently the shop seems to be closed quite often but...
