Gui’s Burger by Humans of Wagyu ligger Ashiya, mellan de två japanska städerna Kobe och Osaka. Restaurangen specialiserar sig uteslutande på wagyu-kött, och detta märks verkligen på den stilrent inredda lokalen med öppet kök. Fokus ligger inte heller bara på köttets smak och textur, utan varje burgare på menyn innehåller wagyu-kött från en specifik gård som har godkänt just sin burgare. Menyn är extremt fokuserad med tre standardburgare och en månadsburgare. Vi beställde en Kirishima Wagyu Bacon Cheeseburger med 150 gram wagyu-kött, wagyu-bacon och husets sås. Den serverades med pommes frites och kostade 2450 JPY (140 kronor).

Burgaren serverades på ett stadigt porslinsfat och glänste verkligen av det marmorerade köttet. Brödet var ultrafluffigt, men omfamnade ändå burgaren med karaktär och höll ihop allt på ett tillfredsställande sätt. Det medium rare-stekta köttet var kort sagt fenomenalt, med en djup smak och en hög fetthalt som gjorde att den smälte i munnen. Att det dessutom hade saltats och pepprats rejält gjorde oss otroligt glada, och smakerna jobbade på högvarv redan från första tuggan. Detta intensifierades ytterligare av deras egentorkade och -rökta wagyu-bacon, som tillförde ytterligare en nivå av sälta och en lätt rökighet som förde tankarna till den godaste pastramin du kan tänka dig. Smakbilden kompletterades av deras majonnäs, som bland annat innehöll wagyu-fett för att ge en sista kött- och umamismäll mot smaklökarna. Vi beställde till och med extra wagyu-bacon som en dekadent dessert för att fullända måltiden.

Vi blev minst sagt tagna av den otroligt höga kvaliteten och passionen för kött. Gui’s Burger serverar inte bara Japans bästa burgare – utan en av de bästa burgarna vi någonsin har ätit under våra många resor.

In English

Gui’s Burger by Humans of Wagyu is located in Ashiya, between the two Japanese cities of Kobe and Osaka. This restaurant specialises exclusively in Wagyu beef, and this is very much reflected in the stylishly decorated interior with an open kitchen. The focus is not only on the taste and texture of the meat, as each burger on the menu also contains Wagyu beef from a specific farm that has approved its burger. The menu is extremely focused with three standard burgers and one monthly burger. We ordered a Kirishima Wagyu Bacon Cheeseburger with 150 grams of Wagyu beef, Wagyu bacon and house sauce. It was served with fries and cost 2450 JPY (15.5 USD).

Our burger arrived on a sturdy porcelain plate and the deeply marbled beef really made it shine. The bun was ultra-fluffy, but still gave the burger character and held everything together in a satisfying way. The medium-rare-cooked Wagyu was simply phenomenal, with a intense beefiness and a mouth-meltingly high fat content. The fact that it was also salted and peppered generously made us extremely happy, and the flavours were super intense from the first bite. This was enhance further by their own-dried and -smoked Wagyu bacon, which added another level of saltiness and a light smokiness that reminded us of the best pastrami you can imagine. The flavour profile was completed by their mayonnaise, which, among other things, contained Wagyu fat to give the taste buds a final hit of meat and umami. We even ordered extra Wagyu bacon as a decadent dessert to complete our meal.

We were extremely impressed by the incredibly high quality and passion for meat we encountered here. Gui’s Burger don’t just serve Japan’s best burger – this is one of the best burgers we have ever eaten during our many travels.

🇦🇪 @she_burger ★★★★☆

She Burger is a restaurant chain with several locations in Dubai and around the Middle East, and they participated in the Dubai Burger Championship 2026. The burger they served at the festival was the same name as the restaurant, She Burger, and it consisted of two smashed beef patties, roasted onions, veal bacon jam with a lot of coffee, and their signature sauce for 60 AED (16.5 USD).

We immediately felt that the burger had a very international appearance when we saw it, and it offered a well-shaped brioche bun, plenty of toppings, double meat patties. The bun was soft and had a good size, but the heel would have been able to handle the beef juices better if they’d let the patties rest before assembly. The Black Angus meat had a strong meat flavour with a robust seasoning, but we felt that the crust should have been more pronounced and that the meat could have been even juicier. The fried onion was texturally brilliant, and it added both flavour and a lovely crunch that the burger really needed. The veal bacon jam was incredibly good and had a much more mature taste than we are normally used to. It was very coffee heavy, which we really appreciated. On the other hand, the signature sauce was completely anonymous and didn’t make any real impression.

She Burger do a lot right with this burger, but they need to refine the details and the meat to really make it a winner. But that being said, they offer one of the better burgers in Dubai.

🇸🇪 @thellas_foodtruck ★★★★☆

Thellas is a food truck in Gävle that we’ve heard a lot of positive things about since they opened in 2024. The menu at the time of our visit consisted of four beef burgers and a vegetarian option. We chose the classic ”Thellas Cheese” cheeseburger with double burger cheese, silver onions, dill pickles, ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise. A single patty burger cost 115 SEK (12.5 USD), but we ordered a double 120-gram patty burger with for 145 SEK (15.5 USD) and also added 30 SEK (3 USD) for french fries and 15 SEK (1.5 USD) for a chili mayo.

There was a long line of people waiting for their food, and when the burger was served we were greeted by a well-composed and inviting cheeseburger. The first bite was incredibly flavourful and juicy, with a very clear crust on the patties. The beef was well-seasoned with a generous amount of coarsely ground black pepper. And the creamy cheese was delicious and nicely melted over the beef. Unfortunately, the bun was a bit of a disappointment, because despite looking good, it had been toasted for too long on the grill and lacked the fluffy texture we expect from a brioche bun. Their own-pickled cucumber was delicious and added both acidity and crunch, and we would have liked to see more of it so that it was spread over the entire burger. All the sauces did their job without standing out and were also in the right amount, without any one of them overpowering the others. We also liked the generous portion of crispy french fries, and the smoky chilli mayo was tasty – although it could have been a bit spicier.

Thellas undoubtedly serve one of the better burgers we’ve eaten in Gävle, and the service from the guys in the food truck was excellent as well. We definitely recommend keeping an eye on their schedule and visiting them if you’re in the area.
