Why here
An American-style burger counter in a red-brick building on the Seoul Forest side of Seongsu, known above all for a shrimp burger built on a whole-prawn patty. It occupies a detached house over two floors and runs a waitlist through most of its opening hours — weekend queues of an hour or more are normal, while mid-afternoon on a weekday is often walk-straight-in.
