Seongsu Station burger for two, mushroom and eggplant fries: bd Burger

Seongsu keeps getting new restaurants and cafés, and it feels like one of the hottest neighborhoods in Seoul right now. Every alley is packed with spaces full of character, and when you're out shopping or visiting exhibitions, you naturally end up hunting for a good place to eat. This day, I went to BD Burger, which has been getting buzz for its shrimp burgers.

bd Burger Seongsu: Location and Atmosphere

bd Burger Seongsu is in an easy walking distance from Seongsu Station, so it was very accessible. The exterior already had a stylish feel, and the inside was clean and casual, so it was comfortable for a meal. It works for a meal with friends, and it's a no-pressure stop for a date too.

Kiosk Menu and the Sets We Ordered

Ordering at bd Burger Seongsu was easy through a kiosk, and the menu was more varied than I expected. Besides the signature shrimp burger, there were beef patty burgers and chicken burgers to suit your taste, plus plenty of sides, so mixing and matching was fun.

We ordered the GRILLED SHRIMP AVOCADO set and the BIG SIZE WASABI SHRIMP set. We swapped one drink for a milkshake and added mushroom fries and eggplant fries as sides. Once the order was in, my anticipation only grew!

Switching to the milkshake was a satisfying choice too. The smooth, rich sweetness went well with the burgers, and after the spicy shrimp burger it felt like it cleaned up my palate.

Mushroom Fries and Eggplant Fries: Worth Adding Both?

The mushroom fries at bd Burger Seongsu were really satisfying: one bite releases juicy mushroom liquid that blends nicely with the crispy coating. The eggplant fries were also better than I expected. I don't usually eat eggplant much, yet I kept reaching for them, and they went really well with the sauce they came with.

Grilled Shrimp Avocado Burger

The Grilled Shrimp Avocado burger came out first, and it looked appetizing just sitting there. The plump whole shrimp and the soft avocado worked well together, and the spicy sauce balanced the whole thing, so I could finish it without feeling weighed down.

The fries were fried nicely and crispy, but what impressed me most were the sauces and seasonings served with them. It's not just one thing that's good; each one has its own personality, so trying different combinations was fun. Honestly, I remember the sauces more than the sides themselves.

How Sharp Is the Big Size Wasabi Shrimp Burger?

True to its name, the Big Size Wasabi Shrimp burger grabbed my attention with its sheer size. The wasabi aroma wasn't too strong and didn't overpower the flavor of the shrimp; if anything, it added a clean taste. If you like shrimp burgers, it's a menu item you'll be happy with.

From the moment it arrived on the tray, it looked really appetizing. Between the golden grilled buns were big flame-grilled whole shrimp, fresh vegetables and plenty of avocado, and just looking at it was satisfying. It was so full that it was hard to hold in one hand, so I was excited before even taking a bite.

The first thing I noticed on the first bite was the plump texture of the whole shrimp. Flame grilling gave it a subtle smoky flavor, and the soft, nutty avocado paired really well with the shrimp. A slightly spicy sauce finished it cleanly without any greasiness, and I thought it was a burger that brings out the natural taste of its ingredients.

I assumed that with wasabi in it, it would be harsh, but it wasn't at all. Rather than a strong spice that stabs your nose, it added a mild sharpness that brought out the shrimp's flavor even more. Thanks to that, the greasiness faded and the aftertaste felt much cleaner.

If You Pick Just One Side, Make It the Butter Garlic Fries

The fries were fried nicely and crispy, but what impressed me most were the sauces and seasonings served with them. It's not just one thing that's good; each one has its own personality, so trying different combinations was fun. Honestly, I remember the sauces more than the sides themselves.

Personally, this butter garlic cream really impressed me. I thought it might be heavy, but the balance was surprisingly good and I never got tired of it, and alternating with the burger was a great combination. If you're only picking one side, I'd definitely recommend these butter garlic fries.

A Good Meal to Add to Your Seongsu Day

After shopping and wandering the alleys of Seongsu, this was a perfect place to end the day with a good meal. I liked it enough that I want to try the other burgers next time, and personally the combination of the shrimp burger and butter garlic fries will stay in my memory the longest. If you're planning a trip to Seongsu, I recommend adding BD Burger to your route.
