Today is the day that my diet begins. Finding and ranking the best hamburgers in Seoul has been a joy and a curse. Luckily, the restaurants have gotten better but there are more of them as well. Suffice it to say, hamburgers are not just a fad in Seoul; you'll find burger restaurants dotted all over the city.

The first review that I did a year ago was received with an equal amount of praise and scrutiny. I found people are passionate about their burgers. For this review, I went to over 20 restaurants - a few more than once. This year I decided to not include franchise burgers to this list. Also, I decided to look at the signature burgers of each restaurant. My criteria for ranking were on the quality of meat, bun, toppings, service, and overall enjoyment.



1. "The Fresco Burger" from Jacoby's Burger in Haebangchon. This is the Eiffel tower of hamburgers in Seoul. You have a moist and richly favored hamburger patty topped with mozzarella cheese, bacon, tomato sauce and a tower of onion rings. It is a beautiful thing to behold and a tad difficult to eat. The crunchy onion rings with the tar tar sauce, plush garlic beef patty, and mozzarella cheese fuses beautifully. After your burger you will be smiling with a halo of shiny beef grease around your mouth. Oh, and you can customize your burger just the way you want.
Price: 10,000 won

I mean , ok I dont know I have never had a burger there.. but everytime I walk past there is a line outside that place like people are lining up to see a three headed baby or something hahaaha

Seems like every time someone posts a "best burgers" article, it's full of personal opinion and [Mod Edit] no one would want to spend their money on.

This is no exception.

No, #1 is definitely Jacoby's. This man speaks fact.

Krazy Burger has a veggie burger now... not really related, but I thought everyone should know. It is, by far, the best tasting and most expensive veggie burger I have ever eaten.

Just to add that sadly the USO canteen has closed its doors.

[definitely maybe]

GREAT list. Agree on Jacoby's (tasty, tasty burgers), but sad to see Platters (in Hyehwa) is nowhere on the list.... I'm quite fond of their burgers, and they make a very decent cheesesteak.

I've had mixed results at Jacoby's. Overall, ingredients are decent but they are really hit and miss with the execution. In the past I've had to wait well over an hour for my meal when there weren't more than 10 people in the place. And more than once the patty has been dry and tepid. I'm guessing to save time the chef precooked a number of patties then fired them again when someone ordered - a big no no! And I know several other people that have had similar experiences.

Gotta say I'm surprised by the review; then again, I think a lot of expats have forgotten what good food tastes like or, perhaps, have never even known.

Jacoby's is good, but sometimes has a huge wait for an empty dining room. Hit or miss.
