Brooklyn: The Burger Joint – Great Burger, great price!

I have travelled and live for a while in Korea and in other Asian countries and there is some times when you just want a burger. Some people told me that Brooklyn served one of the best burgers in Seoul so I decided to go!

The place is small (like 20 seats) and with a modern cool style. The menu consists of burgers (from ‎₩7,800 to ‎₩11,800), shakes and side dishes. There are 2 sizes for each burger, 5 OZ. and 7 OZ and you can request the meat cooking level.

If you buy a burger you can get the meal, which includes a half-size portion of chips and a soda for an extra ₩5,500-7,500 depending on the kind of fries you choose.

I tried the Cheese Skirt (5 OZ.) medium done and the Real Mccoy (7 OZ.) well done with half-size cheese fries.

The meat was really good in both burgers! However, the Real Mccoy was missing something else; I feel there was not enough bacon. The Cheese Skirt was much better and I really liked the crispy cheese that sticks out of the bread. The cheese fries were nice and crunchy and the sauce was delicious.

Overall, I think is a great burger for a reasonable price. However, I wouldn’t say this is the best burger in town.
