Craving deep fried food? You will definitely satisfy your greasy fix here. Neighborhood gem located off of 132nd St. SE & Seattle Hill Rd, this local burger establishment appears to be operated/owned by a friendly, hardworking Korean family. The menu has a good variety of burgers, fries, fish-n-chips, shakes, etc., but I ordered all five Katsu burger offerings: pork, beef, chicken, salmon & cod. Katsu is Japanese for crispy fried cutlet of meat. The katsu burgers are hearty in size and include a generous side of fries. I upgraded a few to onion rings 😋 and one sweet potato fries (excellent). The cod fish katsu burger in particular was enormous. No mini McD's filet-o-fish sandwhich here. The rectangular cod fillet was bigger than the round (potato?) bun. Hoagie bun might have been a better geometric pairing. Delicious but the bbq sauce didn't really compliment the fish. Pork, beef & chicken cutlets were thin so that explained the double stack. Salmon cutlet was hefty & tender, not dry, so no shortcut in quality here 😃 The flaky Panko breadcrumb breading was deep fried to perfection. The crunchiness & texture were A+. Why the 4 star rating? Taste. The deep fried breading cloaked the taste of the meat. Sauce was on the sweet side and more cabbage/lettuce would've balanced the grease. Additional fresh condiments were available as add-ons however. Next time I'll try the hamburger varieties. Delivery is available via Google, Grubhub but didn't notice their own website. Clean, well maintained, friendly staff, following COVID protocols even after confused CDC (mis)guidelines, good quality 👍 Support your local neighborhood...
Read moreYes. Do it ! I tried this on a whim. I am new to the area and was craving a good burger. Like a realllllly good burger.
I was immediately happy with the interior. It was bright clean and the menu was easy to read and informative. As a person who does not like Mayo on a burger (which they do) it's nice to know ahead of time (which not everyone does).
I only had a few seconds to look at the menu. A line was behind me. I went for the California burger. You can't go wrong with bacon Swiss and avocado on a burger. I also added 2 onion rings to the burger.
As I'm waiting for my burger I finally get a chance to read the menu !!!! I regretted my choice. They have katsu burgers, katsu chicken, katsu salmon, fancier burgers than the California!!! Oh man SO many good options. AND ! Real ice cream shakes. Coffee, chocolate, vanilla, peanut butter, etc
When I got my food !!!!!! I was floored. It was made TO PERFECTION. And here I thought I got the wrong choice!! There is not wrong choice at Ejs ! I will be back. Again and again. And I will bring my friends and family. Yumm. Also note - delicious crispy golden fries come with the sando. Great price for fantastic place!!! Thank you!!!!!
Went back a second time to try the chicken katsu burger and a PB shake. SO good. 2 katsu patties on the burger. The fries were perfectly crispy, again. And the shake is real; therefore tastes real!!! I...
Read moreIt so sad to say this was our number one hamburger restaurant, but unfortunately not since a month ago that I ordered some hamburgers and the taste was way different than before, less quality and patties taste cheap. I tried again today and I ordered a hamburger for my son who likes it PLAIN, just Bun, Pattie and add bacon ONLY. I did it through uber eats and when we received we noticed it has EVERYTHING on it, so I called the store and the old lady who answered, as soon I was trying to explain what the situation was, she started yelling at me and saying it was my fault because I didn’t remove anything and I keep saying I do have the receipt and it says everything was removed there, but she started yelling more and NEVER let me talked again. The last thing she said was, “call Uber eats because is their fault” and hang on the phone on me. She was sooo RUDE and not good customer...
