Brooklyn the Burger Joint

Gangnam & Southern Seoul

LoginSave

Open all day, everyday, this diner-like burger joint takes its interior-design cues from 1950s America, soundtracked by the likes of 2010s Wu-Tang Clan. More creative choices include C.R.E.A.M (Cheese Rules Everything Around Meat). Sets are served on a plate of steak fries. Save room for dessert – there are 43 milkshakes on the menu, including some boozy ones.

Though Brooklyn the Burger Joint has a handful of locations all over Korea, the Garosu-gil location is undoubtedly the most loved and the best-known.
