6,700 for a basic burger thats not very good.
4,500 for a basic fries?
3,000 for a small coke?

Then 10% VAT tax added on.. what is that all about?

'Gourmet American Dining' printed on the napkins?

What is it with the crappy hamburgers at Itaewon?

I ate on the Yongson army base and the hamburger was wonderful, go 500 or so yards away and it tastes like horse crap.

And Koreans line up for this place. Yeah, I tried it once. It makes the Thunder Burger place near Noksapyeong seem much better. That place I'd go back.

Your product isn't selling very well in Korea?

Double the price! Koreans will buy it by the truckload!

I wish I were joking.

Is it worth it? Why are fries so expensive? They change the fryer oil after each batch or something Shocked ? I just went to Smokey's Saloon in Itaewon for the first time. Really, really yummy. However, why is sparkling water so expensive? It was around 4000 won for a perrier- it was more than an imported beer!

Thunder Burger is far more expensive with far smaller portions.

Hopefully it's just a kraze - as in fad. I don't see them lasting forever at those prices. People are curious right now, so they're going there. Betcha in 6 months, they'll start having lunch specials.

If you want a nice burger, The Smokey Saloon in Itaewon is not bad.

What's the deal withh Krispy Kreme in Sinchon? 4000 won for a large Americano (watered down trash)? Geez! I went in there, got 2 coffees and 2 donuts and had to pay 10,000 won for that! Evil or Very Mad

Kraze has been around for a while. More than a year as far as I remember, pobably even longer. And they still have huge lines at COEX. Not at their yeoksam location though, but thats a crappier location. The burgers are really small and overpriced. The fries are not bad, I like their chilli fries, but theres no way in hell Im going there again to pay that much for a burger, fries and pop.
