Because it gets busy around mealtimes, we visited for a late lunch on the weekend. It was relaxed enough for us to eat comfortably when we arrived. The soft, warm lighting, quiet music, and Japanese 1980s-inspired props made me feel as if I were traveling in Japan. ![Warm lighting and interior at 1986 Shibuya Burger](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-jambon/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-jambon-03-f9py2-900.webp) ![Japanese-style props inside 1986 Shibuya Burger](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-jambon/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-jambon-04-1nzzu-900.webp) ![Japanese-inspired interior props at 1986 Shibuya Burger](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-jambon/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-jambon-05-1l55j-900.webp) ## Which burgers and sets did we order?

At the self-service bar, we could take as many crispy fried potato chips as we wanted. I liked having something to snack on before the burgers arrived. ![Potato chips from the self-service bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-jambon/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-jambon-09-nx0z1-900.webp) Pickles, jalapeños, and assorted sauces were also available to take according to our preferences. There were convenience items, including candy for after the meal and hair ties. ![Self-service bar sides and sauces](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-jambon/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-jambon-10-2elee-900.webp) ![Candy and convenience items at self-service bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-jambon/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-jambon-11-7dnvh-900.webp) We brought back potato chips, sauces, pickles, and jalapeños too. ![Potato chips, pickles, and jalapeños from self-service bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-jambon/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-jambon-12-h11xz-900.webp) While waiting for our order, we dipped the potato chips in sauce.

Along with the burgers, we ordered French fries and cheese sticks as sides, plus cider and iced Americano. We picked at the warm fries between bites and had cool drinks alongside them. My husband, who likes cheese, chose the Shibuya Griddle Cheese Burger. ![Griddle cheese burger ordered by my cheese-loving husband](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-jambon/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-jambon-14-t563n-900.webp) After one bite, I thought the flavor of the meat patty went well with the savory, rich cheese. ![Griddle cheese burger with patty and rich cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-jambon/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-jambon-15-1kymk-900.webp) It arrived on a hot griddle, so we could eat it warm until the end. I enjoyed it with the creamy cheese. ![Shibuya Griddle Cheese Burger on a warm griddle](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-jambon/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-jambon-16-uisud-900.webp) ![Shibuya Griddle Cheese Burger with creamy cheese](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-jambon/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-jambon-17-qq265-900.webp) ## How did the jambon wagyu burger differ from the cheese burger? The jambon wagyu burger I ordered let me enjoy jambon (cured ham) together with a wagyu patty. The two came together for a full, meaty flavor. ![Jambon wagyu burger with jambon and wagyu patty](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-jambon/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-jambon-18-cqqna-900.webp) With jambon added to the wagyu patty, I thought it would suit anyone choosing a burger mainly for its meat flavor. ![Jambon wagyu burger with added jambon](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-jambon/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-jambon-19-joohc-900.webp) ![Jambon wagyu burger with full meaty flavor](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-jambon/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-jambon-20-dg902-900.webp) Of the two, I would choose the Shibuya Griddle Cheese Burger for rich, savory cheese, and the jambon wagyu burger for the meatiness of jambon and patty together. It was a good place to stop for handmade burgers near Kyung Hee University. ![Ending our visit to 1986 Shibuya Burger](https://img.superchart.com/images/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-jambon/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-jambon-21-g3173-900.webp) ## Where it is - 1986 Shibuya Burger (1986시부야버거) (1986시부야버거) - 5 Gyeonghuidae-ro 1ga-gil, 1F, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 동대문구 경희대로1가길 5 1층) - 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/@folded-receipt/shibuya-burger-hoegi-cheese-jambon/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
