I det alltid livliga Shibuya-området i Tokyo ligger det lilla burgarhaket Whoopi Goldburger. Deras lokal – som egentligen bara består av en lång bardisk – genomsyras av en otroligt skön stämning, och det är svårt att slita blicken från väggarna som är fullsmockade med intressanta detaljer.

Deras meny består av nio burgare som har fått ordvitsiga namn efter olika kända skådespelare, som Sarah Jessica Burger och Charlotte Gains-Burger, och vårt val föll på deras Kevin Bacon Burger. Baconburgaren, som kostade motsvarande 100 kronor, serverades med en riktigt tjock baconskiva, en tjock skiva tomat och en rejäl näve sallad.

Burgarens smak höll tyvärr samma klass som utseendet, och var inte alls särskilt bra. Det tjocka baconet, som nästintill kunde liknas med kassler, var både segt och svårtuggat. Resten av ingredienserna lämnade också mycket att önska. Köttet var torrt och alldeles för hårt packat, och även brödet kändes trött och imponerade inte på oss alls. Däremot måste vi säga att pommes fritesen var väldigt goda, och hade en rejäl krispighet.

Vi önskade att vi kunde säga att burgarna på Whoopi Goldburgers höll samma klass som den coola lokalen och den trevliga personalen, men så var tyvärr inte fallet. Detta var helt enkelt en medioker gatuköksburgare serverad i en riktigt cool förpackning.

In English

Whoopi Goldburger can be found in the always lively Shibuya district in Tokyo. This cool burger joint basically consist of a long bar counter, and their walls are slammed with interesting details. Nearly all their burgers have pun-tastic names based on famous Hollywood actors, and we chose their Kevin Bacon (Burger), which was served with a really thick slice of bacon and an excessive amount of lettuce. Sadly, the thick bacon was way too chewy and the patty was compact and dry. The bun didn’t really inspire us either, but we must say that the fries were surprisingly good. We just wish their burgers had been as cool as the atmosphere and the staff, but sadly that wasn’t the case.

🍔 Review № 1397

🇺🇸 @localtide ★★★★☆

Local Tide is a hyped fish restaurant in central Seattle. And while most of the menu focuses on seafood, their burger has also become a bit of a talking point. They don’t take reservations, and when we arrived there were around 20 people queuing outside the small restaurant, with an hour-long wait. Luckily, there was space next door at Aslan Brewing, which served their burger and a handful of other dishes from Local Tide. We ordered their Smash Burger with beef, cheese, caramelised onions and mayo in a brioche bun for 10 USD, as well as a portion of Salt and Pepper Fries for 8 USD. We also tried their Salmon Sando for 16 USD.

After waiting around an hour for our food, our burger arrived neatly presented on a small plate. The bun looked a little flat but was lighter and fluffier than we’d expected. The beef was incredibly juicy and well salted, while the cheese was both creamy and flavourful. The caramelised onions were packed with umami and really enhanced the flavour of the beef. Both the bun and beef had a decent crust, although both could’ve been cooked a little more. Our main critique was that the burger would’ve been even better with a few more crispy components, and perhaps a bit bigger. The fries were like potato wedges and were incredibly well cooked. The generous portion was crispy and well seasoned, and their homemade ketchup was really tasty. The 16 USD salmon burger also impressed us with its fresh salmon fillet, great textures and fresh flavours.

It’s great to see a seafood restaurant serving burgers as good as the ones at Local Tide. The other seafood dishes are of course also worth trying, but make sure to arrive early and be prepared to wait a while for your food.
