Burgarscenen i Seoul har fullständigt exploderat de senaste åren, och på många sätt känns Onestar Old Fashioned Hamburgers som en motreaktion till stadens alla trendiga burgarrestauranger. Vi besökte deras originalrestaurang i det exklusiva området Dogok, och slogs direkt av den nostalgiska, amerikaniserade 70-talsinredningen som genomsyrade allt från menyn till bilderna på väggarna. Alla burgare var väldigt rimligt prisatta och innehöll bara några få ingredienser. Vi beställde deras Cheeseburger med en 170-gramsköttpuck, ost, rödlök och pickles för 8800 won (55 kronor), samt en Patty Melt med kött, ost, karamelliserad lök och en stor pickle på sidan för 11800 won (75 kronor). Vi uppgraderade även till en meny med sötpotatispommesfrites och en läsk för 8200 won (50 kronor).

Burgarna presenterades prydligt och enkelt på porslinsfat, och vi såg direkt att de var omsorgsfullt monterade. Cheeseburgaren var omsluten av en tajt virad pappersficka som höll ihop allt exemplariskt. Brödet var mjukt, välrostat och höll sig i bakgrunden för att lyfta fram köttsmaken från den stora köttpucken. Köttet var väldigt saftigt och luftigt, vilket gjorde det till ett nöje att äta. Lite mer salt och peppar hade gjort den ännu bättre, men grundsmaken var ändå djup och köttig. Löken och dillpicklesen gjorde ett bra jobb med att bryta av både smakerna och texturerna, och gjorde helheten mer levande. Vår Patty Melt serverades delad och hade en medium rare-stekgrad, som gjorde den till en riktig home run tack vare det hårt rostade rågbrödet och den söta karamelliserade löken. Här kändes allt perfekt avvägt, och vi diggade verkligen den väldigt simpla approachen de hade valt. Sötpotatispommesen vi beställde till var också riktigt smarriga, med en tydlig smak av sötpotatisen och en rejäl krispighet som gjorde dem svåra att sluta äta.

Onestar Old Fashioned Hamburgers serverar Sydkoreas bästa burgare, och du borde verkligen unna dig ett besök nästa gång du är i Seoul.

In English

The burger scene in Seoul has completely exploded in the last few years, and in many ways Onestar Old Fashioned Hamburgers feels like a reaction against the city’s many trendy burger restaurants. We visited their original restaurant in the upscale Dogok area, and were immediately struck by the nostalgic, Americanised 70s-style decor that permeated everything from the menu to the pictures on the walls. All the burgers were very reasonably priced and contained only a few ingredients. We ordered their Cheeseburger with a 170-gram beef patty, cheese, red onions and pickles for 8,800 won (6 USD), as well as a Patty Melt with beef, cheese, caramelised onions and a large pickle on the side for 11,800 won (8 USD). We also upgraded to a sweet potato fries menu and a soda for 8,200 won (5.5 USD).

Our burgers were presented neatly and simply on porcelain plates, and we could immediately see that they were carefully assembled. The cheeseburger was wrapped in a tight paper pocket that held everything together perfectly. The bun was soft, well-toasted and kept in the background to let the beef flavour from the large beef patty shine through. The beef was very juicy and airy, making it a pleasure to eat. A bit more salt and pepper would have made it even better, but the basic flavour was still deep and meaty. The onions and dill pickles did a great job of breaking up both the flavours and textures, and made the whole thing more lively. Our Patty Melt was served split and was cooked medium rare, which made it a real home run thanks to the crispy rye bread and the sweet caramelised onions. Everything was perfectly balanced here, and we really enjoyed the very simple approach they had chosen. The sweet potato fries we ordered to go with it were also really delicious, with a clear sweet potato flavour and a nice crunch that made them hard to stop eating.

Onestar Old Fashioned Hamburgers serves the best burgers in South Korea, and you should definitely treat yourself to a visit next time you’re in Seoul.

🇦🇪 @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.
