This time, I went with my older sister for burgers and sides. ![1986 Shibuya Burger exterior near Kyung Hee University](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips-01-1swzc-900.webp) The Japanese-style interior stood out and was generally tidy. With seating ranging from solo seats to tables for four, I thought it would also be fine for eating alone. ![Japanese-style interior of 1986 Shibuya Burger](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips-02-4b4mf-900.webp) ![Seating area inside 1986 Shibuya Burger](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips-03-fhot-900.webp) ## What burgers are available, and how do you order? There was a wide selection, including the Shibuya Classic Burger, Shibuya Chipotle Jambon Burger, and Shoyu Mushroom Burger. I could also put together a set while ordering at the kiosk by the counter. Once the food was ready, I picked it up directly from the counter. ![Burger menu guide at 1986 Shibuya Burger](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips-04-bp0jm-900.webp) ![Menu selection guide at 1986 Shibuya Burger](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips-05-5ippi-900.webp) ## What can you get at the free self-service bar? What I liked most was the self-service bar. I could freely take several kinds of snacks and potato chips, and there was also mouthwash for after the meal. ![Free self-service bar at 1986 Shibuya Burger](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips-06-7o1iv-900.webp) ![Self-service bar stocked with various snacks](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips-07-1a4zj-900.webp) The potato chips had free unlimited refills. Since I usually like fried potatoes, I especially liked being able to take as many potato chips as I wanted to go with my burger. ![Snacks and treats at the self-service bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips-08-p6n4m-900.webp) ![Free potato chips from the self-service bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips-09-6xxyz-900.webp) I brought back potato chips with pickles. ![Potato chips and pickles from the self-service bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips-10-17u2q-900.webp) There were also several sauces for dipping burgers, fries, or potato chips. Being able to have potato chips and sauces at no extra cost felt like good value. ![Self-service sauces for burgers and fries](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips-11-13a2s-900.webp) ## How was the Shibuya hot-plate Nobiru cheeseburger? The Shibuya Hot-Plate Nobiru Cheeseburger I chose arrived with cheese bubbling on a hot plate. ![Shibuya hot-plate Nobiru cheeseburger on a griddle](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips-12-osud3-900.webp) I could add the warm cheese from the hot plate to the burger. It was a menu item that suited me well as someone who likes cheese. ![Cheeseburger with warm hot-plate cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips-13-1ybx7-1200.webp) When I picked up the burger, the cheese stretched out in long strands. The burger itself tasted good, and the glazed onions on top added flavor. ![Cheese stretching as the burger is lifted](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips-14-136t4-900.webp) ## How were the fries and beer set? The fries I ordered as a side had a different flavor and texture from the potato chips at the self-service bar. Their fluffy potato flavor came through well. ![Fries ordered as a side with a burger](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips-15-cnxa4-900.webp) Each piece was large, which also made them satisfying to eat. ![Large pieces of fries](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips-16-c3bw2-900.webp) They also sold beer, so I had it as a set with the burger. It felt reasonably priced, and I liked the combination of beer with the burger and fries. ![Beer served with a handmade burger set](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips-17-pda8g-900.webp) ## How were the Kuro Sakura burger and sweet potato fries? My older sister ordered the Kuro Sakura Burger with 100% shrimp and a squid-ink bun. It had a thick shrimp patty. ![Kuro Sakura Burger with a thick shrimp patty](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips-18-1nw9p-900.webp) It was generously filled with vegetables including onion and tomato. The ingredients worked well together, and the patty's slightly spicy flavor brought a savory depth that I found satisfying. ![Shrimp patty and vegetables in the Kuro Sakura Burger](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips-19-sku6l-900.webp) We also ordered sweet potato fries as a side. They were a welcome change from the sides I usually see at burger restaurants. ![Sweet potato fries ordered as a burger side](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips-20-ocg6e-900.webp) They were well fried, and eating them plain let me enjoy the sweet potato's natural flavor. ![Fried side for enjoying sweet potato flavor](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips-21-1tzrs-900.webp) They were also tasty topped with the leftover cheese from the hot plate like a sauce. ![Sweet potato fries topped with hot-plate cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips-22-133kz-900.webp) ## Where it is - 1986 Shibuya Burger (1986시부야버거) (1986시부야버거) - 5 Gyeonghuidae-ro 1ga-gil, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 동대문구 경희대로1가길 5 1층 - 37.5921214, 127.0513719 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/1986%EC%8B%9C%EB%B6%80%EC%95%BC%EB%B2%84%EA%B1%B0/@37.5921214,127.0513719,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@chopstick-rest/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-potato-chips/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
