Burger Mania Hiroo

I came to this restaurant after a long day of wildlife photography at a park that was conveniently near by (Arisigawa park). I was, to be honest, starving. From what i heard this was an amazing burger restaurant, where there were very long lines.

Probably because i went at such a strange time, there was no line. In fact, it was pretty empty except for one or two other customers. The shop looks pretty much like any other from outside, but on the inside it looks pretty awesome. The music is very well chosen, and the volume was low enough for me to have a conversation without raising my voice.

The food came out pretty quickly. They served hamburgers with pineapples in them - which is my favorite type of burger. In my opinion, it’s very hard to come across a burger shop that sells that. It was amazing. The meat was slightly rare (pink on the inside) and thin, which is exactly how i like it. They also sold pancakes, such i heard were incredible (specifically my friend said it was the best pancake she ever had). So i had to try them. Three medium sized pancakes, a generous amount of powdered sugar, strawberries and blueberries, and syrup (on the side for you to pour on to taste). It was, indeed, the best pancakes i ever had in my life.

The fries were OK.

I’m always on the lookout to find the best burger in a new country and city, and unfortunately this one fell short. They were decent burgers but definitely nothin amazing. You have the choice to substitute the meat to Kobe but be aware that doing so they will dice the meat up in your burger so eating it becomes a bit…messy. The onions were also decent. I will say that their Cherry burger was definitely outside the box thinking which they did pretty well.

Great vibe, love the pastrami sandwich. Oh, one of the staff is very much Ayano Go san look-alike.

It's with good reason that most of the reviews are very positive of this place. I've ordered from this restaurant several times already, even the ones I assumed wouldn't be any good were very surprisingly very delicious. The meat is usually medium rare but you can make special requests to have it made to your liking. The only complaint I have is the lack of tables, slightly loud music; makes conversation a bit more challenging. If you put that aside, and want to have a great burger, this is one of the best burger places in Tokyo.

Decent small chain burger joint, with a dark and woody vibe. Extensive burger menu, plus some sandwiches and salads.
