I tried to go there the day before their opening. It wasn't my plan. I was going to Chili Chili's right next door but they were closed for summer holiday. The place next door was new and looked open. They seemed pretty freaked out when I walked in. The guy who owns it or runs it or something spoke perfect english. He told me they actually were patterned on the In N Out burger chain in California. I suspect he had lived in CA for a large part of his life based on his lack of an accent. He seemed very nice. |

How about you bite the bullet, try it, and then form your own opinion? Just for once, think for your yourself! Jesus didn't get where he is by being a blind sheep, you know... |

That name rings a bell. I think I saw one in Suji once.

Wow, little harsh there don't you think? Tige was just asking for others' opinions/experiences. If simple questions like that were met with responses such as yours, boards like this probably wouldn't exist.
Back to the original topic, I have not, but I would love to hear the experiences of those who have. I will be coming to Korea soon, and a place that is modeled after In and Out Burger sounds like a place that I would be interested in visiting now and again. |

Its near Chilis (the Mexican burrito shack).. they are both just down the hill from Noksapyong station (the station next to Itaewon).
Had no idea it was modeled after 'IN N OUT' (the best California fastfood restaurant in the world). Nice. |

I didn't eat there tonight, but that's because the food ain't cheap. I think the cheapest burger was 4,500 won or something. That being said, they fry the patties on an open grill (not frying pan) right where you can see the action. Said patties seemed kind of small, though. Some of their sets were creeping up near 10,000 won.
Location: Go out of exit 2 at Noksapyeong station and walk straight under the tree-lined sidewalk. You should see it as you're walking, since the sign's obvious. Go through the underpass just before the intersection and turn right, going up the stairs.
Seemed pretty busy tonight, but too expensive for me tonight. |

Tiger Beer has already outlived Jesus.
I'd say he's doing A-OK. |

Sick of seeing endless McDonalds and KFC |

the sign looks alot like the in and out sign... but there is one thing that worries me if the guy speaks such good english. Instead of saying "Itaewon Branch" why does it say "Itaewon Brunch"?
PS. The one next to Johnny Computer makes awesome sloppy joes
just ate there... crap, real crap. Burger King is better. |
