Samseong Station burger restaurant: triple-patty Greed Burger at Bas

Walking 320 meters from Samseong Station Exit 1 to Bas Burger

Bas Burger Samseong Station Branch sits exactly 320 meters from Samseong Station Exit 1 — walk past the Starbucks, turn right at the Gangnam Police Station intersection, and it's across from the 7-Eleven.

Free time for a 20-something office worker is short.

The second lunch break started today, I raced down this alley like every second counted. I had to eat alone, didn't want to just phone it in, and wanted a proper hit of meat and grease — that's when Bas Burger Samseong Station Branch comes in. This was already my fourth visit.

Ordering the ₩14,600 Greed Burger with a Crunch Chicken set

What I picked at the Bas Burger Samseong Station Branch kiosk was the ₩14,600 Greed Burger. I added a Crunch Chicken (4 pieces) and ranch dip set on top, another ₩6,000.

The moment I walked in, I headed straight for the kiosk screen. Today I decided to really commit to my order. I picked the Greed Burger without hesitation.

Removing every vegetable and adding ₩3,700 patty-cheese

But the real move was changing the options. My usual philosophy is to strip out any awkward moisture from a burger. I tapped through: remove tomato, remove lettuce, remove red mayo, remove relish.

A decision to remove every last vegetable there was. And on top of that, I gently added the ₩3,700 patty-cheese. Which brought the total patty count to a whopping three. It's been a while since I attempted anything like this — reminded me of the Burger King Steak 4 burger challenge from a few years back.

The receipt showed a total of ₩29,400. Not a small amount to spend on one lunch, but for the sake of building my own perfect meat combination, there was no reason to hesitate.

Unlimited potato chips at the self-serve bar while the burger cooks

Bas Burger Samseong Station Branch's real value shows in the waiting time before your order arrives. It's the unlimited potato chips. While waiting for the food after ordering, I walked over to the small self-serve bar and loaded a plate full of crunchy chips to bring back to my seat.

I grabbed a chip while waiting and popped it in my mouth. Crunch — the sound hit my ears. A salty, savory oiliness spread across my tongue. I committed a small crime, finishing two whole plates of chips before the main burger even arrived.

I know I shouldn't do this — I might fill up before the burger even gets here. But once you start picking at them, you can't stop. This is the most lethal trap Bas Burger has set.

How does a vegetable-free, three-patty Greed Burger taste?

With every vegetable removed, the Greed Burger had not a single gram of green in sight — just a solid block of brown and yellow meat. My burger and chicken finally arrived at the table, my grotesquely patty-and-cheese-only Greed Burger revealed in full.

I picked up the burger with both hands. The soft, moist brioche bun touched my fingertips first. I opened wide and took a huge bite.

On the first bite, the fluffy bread gave way softly and sank in. From the second bite, the heavy meat juices burst out. Crisp on the outside but still moist and slightly pink-tinged on the inside, the patty's flavor filled my mouth. By the third bite, the salty melted cheese clung to the patty, creating pure savory bliss.

With all the vegetables removed, there's no crunch and no bright acidity whatsoever. Only the grain of the meat, its juices, and the richness of the cheese hit straight to the brain. Right when it starts feeling a bit dense, the distinctive meaty aroma of a handmade burger going down your throat is exquisite.

Crunch Chicken with ranch dip at Bas Burger

Next I picked up the Crunch Chicken I'd ordered as a side. Dipped it deep in the ranch sauce and took a bite. Along with the crackling pop of the crispy coating came soft, tender chicken meat. The sharp, savory ranch sauce balanced out the meat's oiliness perfectly.

Is a ₩29,400 solo lunch near Samseong Station worth it?

Looking back at myself, sitting alone, having stripped out every vegetable and dropped nearly ₩30,000 chewing on meat, I couldn't help but laugh a little. But I had no regrets.

I finished my own perfect meat feast in 30 minutes of lunch break. If you want to feel the real heft of a proper handmade burger near Samseong Station, there's no need to look anywhere else. Another perfect meal today.
