May 5, 2018Let’s celebrate National Burger Month
There have been several people who have stepped forward claiming to be the inventor of the burger. We won’t get into historical details, but humanity owes whoever he/she is a huge thank you for creating one of the most iconic items you can find on the menu of any self-respecting restaurant today.
It’s easy to make in theory – just slap two buns at the end of a juicy patty, fresh lettuce, crunchy onions and tomatoes, melting cheese and condiments. But with all these flavours in your mouth, getting the right amount of each ingredients to create the perfect balance is no mean feat.
It’s unfair to pigeonhole burgers into fast-food restaurants. They’re one of the rare items that can fit comfortably in both ends of the restaurant spectrum, from McDonald’s to higher-end restaurants.
Let’s celebrate the National Burger Month in May! Here are 9 places you can check out for a good burger.

Burger Joys @ Wan Chai
Burger Joys was born from an obsession to find the best burgers in Hong Kong. Located at De Fenwick in Wan Chai, the restaurant prides itself as an “LA smash-style” burger joint, serving up juicy burgers like signature double cheese burger and chicken burger. To fully soak in the true American atmosphere, try also their wings, milkshakes or craft beer.

Named after a street in London known for its diverse cuisine, Electric Ave in Queen’s Road West. Arguably the best burger joint in HK, the restaurant uses only premium ingredients. The restaurant brings in premium hormone-free grass-fed beef from abroad, while everything else, from sauces to seasonings are all made in-house. The best items on the menu to try here are the chicken carbonara burger, five-hour handcut chips with bone marrow and the classic Australian grass-fed beef burger.
Triple O’s @ Wan Chai
Triple O’s began as a drive-in restaurant in Vancouver in 1928. People loved their burger so much they would come from all over just to have a taste of it. People in Hong Kong can now also try their renowned burger, all of which are made-to-order with 100% beef patties, fresh tomatoes, crisp lettuce and their famous Triple O sauce. They go perfect with their signature fries and the classic milkshake.
