Euljiro 1-ga burger dinner with eggplant fries: Daily Fix Euljiro

I went to Daily Fix Euljiro for dinner with my daughter after we finished shopping. I'd heard there was a burger place that felt like a slice of America dropped right into Seoul, so I had to check it out. It's a genuinely great spot near Euljiro 1-ga for a clean, hearty burger to unwind after work or on a weekend.

Where is Daily Fix Euljiro, and what does it look like?

Daily Fix Euljiro is about a 3-minute walk from Euljiro 1-ga Station, so it was really easy to find. Turn into the alleys of Mugyo-dong and this cool, New York-style exterior just jumps out at you.

Visiting in the evening, the red neon sign was glowing bright. Doesn't it give off serious American movie pub or retro diner vibes?

Under the sign that reads "DAILY FIX," you immediately get that foreign-style burger joint feel. Perfect spot to stop by for a beer after work near Euljiro 1-ga.

What is the dining room at Daily Fix Euljiro like in the evening?

Walking into Daily Fix Euljiro, more than half the seats were filled with foreign customers. The menu is also clearly written in English, so it seems like a spot near Euljiro 1-ga that a lot of international visitors seek out.

What we ordered: the bacon cheese burger Kang Min-kyung raved about

• Classic Burger — a cheeseburger with a thick 100% Hanwoo (Korean beef) patty, veggies and Daily Fix's special sauce
• Bacon Cheese Burger — thick 100% Hanwoo patty paired with house-smoked bacon
• Eggplant Fries — thick eggplant fries fried crisp outside and tender inside, served with a celery-based green mayo sauce

At first I wondered, "Is this some imported franchise?" But it turns out Daily Fix is actually a purely domestic handmade burger brand that hand-grinds 100% Hanwoo beef into patties fresh every morning! They use house-made bacon aged for a whopping 100 hours and house-made sauces — a place near Euljiro 1-ga that clearly puts in the effort.

Free coleslaw from the Naver receipt review event

Daily Fix Euljiro is also running a Naver receipt review event! Write a review and you can get a free coleslaw or corn salad — definitely worth grabbing.

We ordered the "Bacon Cheese Burger," which became even more famous after Kang Min-kyung raved about it, along with the classic-done-right "Classic Burger"! We upgraded the cheeseburger to a set with crispy fries and Coke Zero, and also added the signature side we'd been curious about, the "Eggplant Fries." And of course, we snagged a free coleslaw by joining the review event.

1. Classic Burger with a Hanwoo patty

A round, glossy sesame bun with fresh green lettuce peeking out prettily — the Classic Burger. Just looking at it, you can feel how fluffy the bun is.

The moment you take a big bite, the soft bun gives way to the savory juiciness and smoky char of the 100% Hanwoo patty flooding your mouth! It wasn't overly salty, letting the deep flavor of the meat itself shine. The crisp fresh onion and tomato kept it from feeling greasy all the way through. A deep, genuine flavor that really lived up to the reputation of a great spot near Euljiro 1-ga.

2. Bacon Cheese Burger set with fries and Coke Zero

This is the very Bacon Cheese Burger that Kang Min-kyung raved about! The layers of thick 100-hour-aged house bacon, salty cheese, and patty were a work of art.

Daily Fix's bacon isn't your typical thin store-bought bacon — it's thick like smoked pork belly with a deep smoky aroma! You really get that chewy bite, and as the savoriness of the Hanwoo patty tangles with the salty cheese, it delivers a rich, hearty flavor. If you love meat, you'll be an instant fan of this signature dish from a place that's become a word-of-mouth favorite near Euljiro 1-ga. It made total sense why this is famous as the burger from the Jjyang video and why celebrities have raved about it.

3. Eggplant Fries, the signature side at Daily Fix Euljiro

The true hidden hero of Daily Fix! The signature side dish, Eggplant Fries. Long-cut fried eggplant sprinkled generously with herb seasoning.

The outside is really crispy, but bite in and the juice bursts out as it melts away. Dip it into the extra ranch and parsley special sauce we ordered, and the savoriness doubles.

Even if you're someone who never bothers seeking out eggplant, you really need to try this one. The contrast between the crispy batter and the moist, tender texture of the eggplant is fantastic! With a slight kick of spice paired beautifully with the special creamy sauce, it was a delicacy I kept reaching for again and again alongside the burger.

The refreshing coleslaw we got from the Naver review event! Taking a bite here and there resets your palate, helping you enjoy the burger deliciously all the way to the end.

Final verdict on Daily Fix Euljiro

If I had to pick the most memorable dishes from today's visit to Daily Fix, it's definitely the Bacon Cheese Burger and the Eggplant Fries! The cheeseburger left an impression with its unmatched combo of rich, hearty smoked bacon and Hanwoo patty, but the eggplant fries — crispy outside, moist inside, with that surprising texture contrast — were a real delicacy too.

For anyone who wants to taste a proper handmade burger packed with real meat juices and charcoal-grilled aroma, or anyone looking for a quiet, atmospheric spot near Euljiro or Myeongdong for a date or dinner get-together, I'd absolutely recommend this place near Euljiro 1-ga. It's also a great spot to pair a burger with a beer in that gorgeous retro diner atmosphere.

The soft jazz playing in the background made for a relaxed meal, which I really appreciated. My return visit rating is 100%! Next time I'm planning to come back for another of their popular items, the pastrami sandwich, with a cold draft Stella.
