I have been meaning to do a write up on this place for a while now. But the good news for you all is that I’ve collected a few decent photos of the food to demonstrate just how awesome this place is.
For those of you who live in Seoul, you will know that a decent burger is not a culinary forte here. When I heard that there were not just decent but excellent burgers to be had at the Brooklyn Burger Joint, I had to try for myself even though I was skeptical at first.
The place is very small inside. When you first arrive, expect a reasonable volume of people milling around outside. There is a clipboard at the front door you MUST put your name down on, or you’ll be bypassed in the queue.
We’ve waited up to 45 minutes for a table so don’t arrive starving. There’s a coffee shop next door but it is on the pricey side even by Korean coffee shop standards.
“The Brooklyn Works” burger, chilli cheese fries and slaw
The food is well worth the wait. The burgers come in two sizes, both are more than enough. The chilli cheese fries have really tasty chilli and that gooey liquidy cheese that is oh so bad for you but oh so good!
The bacon was delicious and crispy and the burger buns were just like the ones from home.
As a dessert, the shakes are well, pretty amazing. I’ve had the burnt marshmallow one and it is a meal in itself. Perfect for sharing.
… as a MASSIVE Heinz fan… too cute

Getting There:
Take the subway to Express Bus Terminal: Exit 5
Cross over the road and keep walking left along the main road. You will turn off the road after about 5 minutes. (You will walk past a biggish hotel) It is in a very quiet area so don’t be put off by the fact there is nothing around there. You pretty much walk straight until you see it just on the corner where there is the coffee shop I mentioned above. I marked it on the map so I hope you can find it.
