Kong Smash — Restaurant in Utrecht

By what I’d call Dutch standards, this could be seen as a pretty good burger. The patty tasted fresh and was nicely caramelized with the smash and the bun was nice. I think just they missed the mark with the toppings though. There wasn’t a lot of texture or depth which left it just tasting of meat which would have been great if I was only eating meat, but I was eating a burger.

A huge factor in my less than great experience was the price. It was 18.50 for the burger and fries. I know times are hard and businesses need to make ends meet but it’s just too much to justify going again. Had the burger been 13.50 served without fries I would have left feeling better about the overall value.

I love me a good smash burger. But unfortunately the smash burger at kong smash, left me disappointed.

The burger was ok at best. The paddy was good. Well smashed, with a some good crispy caramelisation. The rest of the burger was lacking in taste and texture. Complexity in you prefer fancy words. If only my they’d charge 5 euros less for the burger and fries, this review would have had an extra star. 17,50 is just not worth it in my opinion.

There’s places in Amsterdam and Rotterdam where you can get a way better smash burger (in my opinion) for less. The staff was kind and the cocktails were nice.

Not sure I’d recommend this place if you’d want a solid smash burger. Try Niko’s in...

Absoluut belachelijke prijzen. Prijs kwaliteit verhouding van de smashburgers is zeer laag. Als prijs geen factor is dan is het best oke, maar niet meer dan dat. Thuis kan je ze minstens net zo goed maken, en waarschijnlijk zelfs veel beter.

Leuke sfeer en prima bediening voor de rest. Alleen de prijs is echt niet te rechtvaardigen. Alle kosten inclusief, kost het hun misschien 6 euro om de burger te maken. Daarnaast hadden ze leuke smashburger variaties, maar nu niet meer. Ter vergelijking; Burgerbar heeft sinds relatief kort ook smashburgers, en beide tenten gebruiken Angus Beef (als ik het me goed herinner), maar Burgerbar is véél maar dan ook véél sappiger.
