The 100 Smoke & Grill / The 100 Food Truck — Restaurant in Seoul

I was reading an article on Timeout about the best hamburgers in Seoul and The 100 Food Truck was listed; I was not disappointed and this place definitely deserves to be on any hamburger lovers list.

You can tell when you walk in that they are serious about their meat because there is a glasses off room where they age the beef and tenderize the patties.

I ordered the signature 100 Burger while my wife ordered the Mexican Burger. My burger was perfectly cooked, the meat was tender and juicy with a thick patty. The brioche bun was soft and toasted crisp on the perimeter. The overall burger combined in a perfectly palatable way; with a distinctive taste.

I also ordered a side of fries and they were quite good. They were thick cut so they had a good potato taste. They were fried and season crisp to give a great taste that wasn't bland.

The restaurant recently opened their new location. It's a three floor building with stunning views of the city from the second and third floor terrace. When the weather is warm, I can't imagine a better spot to sit back and have dinner enjoying the view from the terrace. We arrived as the sun was just going down and it was really perfect to relax after a full day of walking.

The restaurant is sort of out of the way from most tourist spots so it feels more local and exclusive. Despite there being innumerable hamburger joints on the walk down to Itewon, I would not hesitate to walk the extra distance again...

This place offers a stunning view of Seoul's skyline, making it a tempting spot for a memorable meal. Unfortunately, the food itself left a lot to be desired. My burger patty was served undercooked, a basic culinary error that shouldn't happen, especially considering the potential health risks associated with consuming raw or undercooked meat. Undercooked meat can harbor harmful bacteria like E. coli or Salmonella, which can lead to food poisoning and other serious health issues. The overall cooking seemed sloppy, lacking the care and attention. While the waiter's sincere apology was appreciated, the owner's apparent indifference was a major letdown. It's a shame that such a picturesque location is marred by overpriced, underwhelming food and a lack of concern for food safety. If you're looking for a delicious and safe meal to complement the view, I'd recommend...

One of the best hidden gems in Seoul. It has nice burgers and a great view looking down the south east side of Namsan mountain. You can spot the picturesque view of sunset here, enjoying good food and beer at the roof top or balcony seats.

One thing this place can do better is beer. Here it sells beer from my favourite Korean craft beer breweries, The Booth and Playground Brewery. However, it seems that they don't keep the beer well in their hands. Beer here is not that fresh as it should be. Other than that, everything is perfect and I will definitely come here often with my mates.

There is a long queue around dinner time for the roof top seats on the 3rd floor. If you want to enjoy the sunset here while you eat, you better come here early. (There are few balcony seats on the 2nd floor, which not many people...
