The name translates roughly as "wonderful hamburger steak" and sits directly opposite Shake Shack and Bleecker on Buckingham Palace Road, which tells you everything about the confidence of this Asian-inspired smash burger joint from Turkish-born chef Fatih Alkan. The short menu takes the American burger format and runs it through Japanese, Korean, Thai and Chinese flavours, from a kimchi burger with house-made kimchi to an Isan burger loaded with bird's eye chilli, all served in soft potato buns with double wagyu patties. One of the most genuinely original things to happen to London's burger scene in years.
