Burger Shop Haeundae — Restaurant in Busan

I’m not the first person to find this little treasure tucked away behind the old Haeundae train station. It’s been a popular spot for a couple of years now. I’m so grateful for the passion of the owners to make authentic, American hamburgers. The bun is soft and matches the hamburger patty perfectly. The patty is hand formed and smashed to create the uneven edges that capture the juiciness and condiments to deliver maximum flavor. The patty is lightly seasoned and compliments the flavor of the beef very well. The burger shop offers several traditional versions that will be familiar to most westerners. Don’t skip the fries. They are golden brown, crispy, and have a soft, steamy center.

Tried the cheeseburger, tasty! A soft, sweet bun and a nicely grilled patty that was ever so slightly crumbly (was it Smashed?), but still yummy and pepper-y... Not too unlike the other Shake Shackish chain in Busan, Burger in New York.

Nice selection of Brooklyn Brewery bottles, like Sorachi Ace which I've never seen in Korea before.

A simple and modest, open interior that has a very American vibe somehow. It's a cool area to be in, too, north of Haeundae Station and the more touristy areas. There are many quirky and quaint cafes...
