The Burger Craft — Restaurant in Tokyo

Some facts:

I am an American. I lived in New York City, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. I was a consultant for one of the major international consulting firms, and also a military veteran, and so I traveled to many countries where I ate the best burgers that were recommended.

My wife is Japanese, and so I believe we have a balanced perspective although she loves burgers herself, but this means we both have experienced palettes (taste for burgers).

We ate at The Burger Craft earlier tonight based on the reviews posted here and decided to give it a try.....WE WERE IN BURGER HEAVEN (バーガー天国です！)!!!

We spoke to the owner and burger chef, and he is definitely a burger chef artist who informed us that he altered his recipe for his burger patty many times before committing to what I would describe as the "Perfect Ratio" of seasoning and beefiness. The burger patty is 100% chuck beef where 50% of it is Wagyu Beef which lends to its tenderness, flavorfulness, and perfect ratio of extremely seasoning. I thought that the vegetables would overwhelm the beef flavor, but it was perfect. I do not have enough positive adjectives to describe The Burger Craft quality, but it is outstanding.

My wife and I were having a bad day, and we were a bit depressed...The Burger Craft made us very very happy. It is that good.

I am sorry America and to my fellow Americans, but The Burger Craft is the best burger I have ever had. The potato wedges were perfectly fried with just enough salt. We also had the side salad, and even that was amazing considering how simple it was.

NOTE: Please disregard the posters that only have 1 star. They are bitter because they arrived at the wrong time when they were closed, or simply the Japanese palette does not understand what it means to create a beautiful and sugoi delicious burger that is better than anything I have had around the world. Everyone should try The Burger Craft burgers at least once.

NOTE 2: My wife had the Quattro Cheese Burger, which was amazing. It has blue cheese and I don't like blue cheese, but this burger changed my mind. Now I love Blue Cheese in my burgers. I ordered the Spicy Burger, and it was umaiiiiiiii!!!!! We wanted more and so we also ordered the original Cheese Burger. This is the royalty of...

The bus stop "Okusakusa" for Ueno Hirokoji is right in front of the house. This is the retro shopping district of "Only Here in New York". You'll enjoy a perfectly calculated gourmet burger. After working in a variety of meat businesses, he decided to open his own gourmet burger shop. The patties are blended according to the season, and the buns (which have the flavor of French bread) are custom-ordered by a famous bakery to capture the strength of the meat. He is also particular about the vegetables, such as lettuce, and the sauce is handmade. Basically, it's a one-man operation, so there are some delays, but I don't have any complaints. Watching the burgers, carefully grilled and rising beautifully, is a highlight of this restaurant. In addition to the basic cheeseburger, the little changes like Parmesan cheese and arugula are also delicious. I encourage you to give it a try. For dessert, you can bring in a cake from a few neighboring "bell notes". A gourmet burger with a New York taste, finished with a European flavored treat. It's the perfect holiday...

This place is amazing!

I got myself the BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger, salted wedge fries, and a Goose Island 312 wheat ale beer and everything was top notch! The fries were fluffy and had just the right amount of salt. The beer was very good. The burger, oh man! I could distinctly taste every ingredient.

The buns had a lovely smoky toasted taste. Felt like I was at a campfire, so cozy! The meat was great. The bacon, sorry my fellow Americans, isn't the thin crispy kind, but is the thick cut style. That being said, what it lacks in crunch it makes up for in flavor!

I've had my fair share of burgers, but this one is one I'll remember for some time! Plus, the environment reminds me of a cozy coffeehouse. So relaxing!

5/5, can't recommend this...
