Sanye Steak & Burger — Restaurant in New Taipei

2.5 stars.

The burgers took about 15 to 20 minutes to arrive. I ordered the beef burger with two pieces of bacon sandwiching the beef patty. The burger was drizzled with a little bit of honey mustard (or some sort of sweet-ish mustard sauce). It also comes with a side of salad and some fries.

The burger itself was mediocre. The beef was a little dry and under-seasoned: I don't know if the patty was 100% beef, but if it was, it really needed something else to moisten it up. The beef was cooked nicely--about medium rare--but there was no crust on either side of the patty. It was a thick patty but frankly didn't taste good enough.

The honey mustard sauce and the two strips of bacon, unfortunately, was not enough to save the burger. The whole thing was quite dry, and a mixture of meat juices and grease kept dripping down as I was eating it. I had to add a ton of ketchup to make it taste slightly better.

The side salad was a joke. A bit of lettuce, cherry tomatoes, canned corn, and raisins, with no dressing at all. It tasted like McDonald's salad without the thousand island dressing.

The fries was the highlight of this meal (along with the free-refill soda). There was a mixture of sweet potatoes and regular potatoes fries. Both were crispy and freshly cooked, though they needed a touch of salt. Surprisingly, I found the sweet potato fries tastier than the potato fries.

In short, the burger was kind of a letdown: not the best but not the worst either. For NT$265, it seemed like something that you'd expect here in Taiwan, something not that authentic but at...

其實會來用餐，純屬意外。 本來要吃酸辣粉，沒開，就來對面的這家三野達人吃完全不同的東西，前幾天去嘉義吃了一家挺好的漢堡，就想再吃一次吧！ 只是這回用餐的經驗，並不是愉快優良的說真的，漢堡肉真的不該吃半生不熟帶血的，營養師說，只要肉本身被破壞，剁碎，製作成漢堡排之後，這些牛肉都不應該吃半生熟，店家科普一下就會知道。 就算店家認為半生熟搞個舒肥是特色，也應該在點餐時詢問客人的接受度，就如同詢問牛排熟度好吧！就算是半生熟的漢堡排，也該煎得外焦內嫩，才能運用醬料綜合焦香味壓過血腥味，讓生菜的菜青味更融和，去膩。若是講究舒肥，也該顧慮客人的嘴、胃是否能接受這樣的烹調啦說不熟可以回煎嗎？只是已經經過了煎烤，肉排是不宜再拿回去復煎了。端上來再回到廚房重煎，其實會更糟，因為原本煎烤面已經微焦、基本上已經鎖住了表面，熱能不太容易進入內裡，只會表面愈來愈焦、焦香味已經錯失黃金時間，此時只會釋放更多不好的物質、影響口感，這只會讓味道更不優！是扣分的做法，真心不建議。 當天另一位客人點的是炸魚排，這魚排裹粉適當，不薄不粉，但是不幸炸得過了火，裹粉變得太硬，讓女客人上顎、嘴內邊刮傷。我就拿起一片來吃看看，果然炸得過了火，過硬太脆，咬起來嘎崩嘎崩的番茄醬，有似曾相識的感覺很像美式賣場(笑) 沙拉是玉米粒加幾顆葡萄乾，搭配的美生菜撕得碎碎的，對我來說口感不佳，其實蠻落漆的。 一旁牆上的裝璜(?)，直接是用三合板原色以釘槍固定，上面的鉛筆線都沒擦除，我不明白這裝璜的意義，是要表現什麼主義？只覺得吃得已經不是很愉悅，還要看著這意義不明的未完工牆面，那種意境我只能說，店家整體是有用點心，但是心不夠細，不夠多。 用餐不是填飽肚子就好，用餐的氛圍、內容、過程也很重要若不能改善，這家不會是我的口袋名單。我真的還是寧願跑遠一點去吃TGI...

烤花生醬牛肉堡+起司片+套餐 $380

漢堡主體分三種肉，牛絞肉/雞腿肉/炸魚排，但初來肯定得先嚐嚐最經典的美式牛肉漢堡，搭上滑順的甜花生醬和起司片，一組熱量組合拳下來才是最爽。

漢堡肉本體牛絞肉偏瘦，瘦肉比例至少佔八成以上，且手打絞肉的咬感扎實，也沒有吃到明顯的肉筋，但是肉汁幾乎沒有，肉排本體吃起來相對偏乾，必須搭配花生醬一起吃，但還是期望能有多一點牛肉的汁水。

另外漢堡皮的表現也比較令人失望，就是兩片麵包皮直接拿來組合，完全沒有烤過的感覺。不求整塊烤到像extra...
