★★★★★ 5.0 Tim Wong (Photo & Tech Alaka'i) · Nov 2025

By far, the best burger place in the SF Bay area. Buns are toasted, burger was juicy and perfectly cooked. Bacon was extra crispy. Fries were crunchy and delicious without being oily. They also have soft serve ice cream and rice dishes, like Korean bulgogi and even Hawaiian Loco Moco. Definitely a local favorite and the customers seemed to know the staff on a first name basis.

Everything I had exceeded my expectation including curly fries. Bulgogi burger was intriguing but I had to try classic cheeseburger also. Both were SO GOOD. Cheeseburger was rich, smoky, cheesy goodness with drizzling au jus just about every bite. And bulgogi burger… omg it is amazing. The sweet sautéed onion and then meaty saltiness with crunchy French roll. I took so many bites and wanted more. It’s pretty good sized burger too. I normally leave some buns when I eat burgers or sandwiches, but bun to meat ratio was on point. Also, I couldn’t help but notice how spanking clean this place is despite looking nostalgic old school establishment. Tables, countertops, salt and pepper shakers, floor, chairs, ketchup spouts, etc all clean. No stickiness, no dust, no dried sauce. Full of locals,

Enjoyed a tasty high-quality cheeseburger with the extra fixings. Just what I expected! A perfect indulgence. Staff were very attentive, and I could tell the grill master was preparing a broad range of favorites.

★★★★★ 5.0 Sarah Nadeem · Feb 2026

What a great local place for a good burger! The atmosphere is very welcoming and the food was great. I had a cheeseburger combo. The meat was not greasy and melted in my mouth. The veggies were crispy and fresh. The owner is also extremely friendly and passionate.

★★★★★ 5.0 La Dawn Gregory · Dec 2025

I had not been here in several years. And I was pleasantly surprised. It was refreshing to see an owner so passionate and vested in his business and customers! He knows and excitedly greets his usual customers and very friendly even to the newbies. When he is not taking orders he comes out to the tables to bring you napkins or condiments and checking on the customers. Might sound like exactly what should be done, but these days it feels like that’s rarely the case, so I was impressed to see some good old fashioned and super friendly customer service, especially from a counter service restaurant. My food was very good as well. The burgers are made from fresh ground meat patties, ground daily. Everything tasted and looked fresh. My curly fries were cooked to the perfect crispness as well. I
