Swapping the set fries for onion rings at Base Burger

We changed the fries in the Base Burger set to onion rings, and the onion rings were good quality and a generous portion, so I was satisfied. We ordered three burgers, so I actually worried it might feel a bit heavy, but it tasted cleaner and healthier than I expected.

Instead of ordinary lettuce, Base Burger uses cute butterhead lettuce, and its soft texture and mild flavor went well with the burger. That made it even better at supporting the meaty flavor of the patty.

We ordered three burgers at Base Burger and the bill came to the mid-₩30,000s. These days, going out for two people often means almost ₩20,000 or more per person. So being able to feed two people for under ₩40,000 was great value in itself, and that's for three whole burgers!

Free mozzarella cheese sticks with a Naver Map coupon or receipt review

At Base Burger you can also get mozzarella cheese sticks with a coupon downloaded from Naver Map (Korea's main map app). If downloading the coupon on Naver is difficult, you can get them by writing a receipt review. And the cheese sticks are better quality than I expected, with mozzarella that stretches and stretches, really delicious, so I'd definitely recommend downloading the coupon or writing a receipt review to try them. There's also a spicy version, which was slightly hot, the kind of taste I think adults would like.

Most of the sauces at Base Burger are free. Not just the Base Burger sauce but also various sauces like mentaiko (pollock roe) mayo are provided free, so ask the staff and enjoy your fries or burger in more different flavors.

What does Base Burger taste like?

Base Burger was a handmade burger place with a healthy, soft, sandwich-like taste. Personally, I prefer a soft, sandwich-like handmade burger over the dopamine-explosion kind where the burger flavor hits hard, and Base Burger was exactly that.

Chicken burger vs beef burger at Base Burger

I wondered whether the Base Burger chicken burger would be greasy, but it tasted very fresh rather than oily, so I think adults and kids alike would enjoy it. Personally, though, the regular beef burger was tastier, so I recommend the burger with the beef patty.

I visited with my partner, and after three burgers plus onion rings we were nicely full. We enjoyed it!! Sometimes fast food leaves my stomach a bit upset or bloated, but Base Burger felt very clean afterwards, so I think even older people would enjoy it. There were also quite a few people eating alone. Since it's a handmade burger place, it seemed fine for a solo meal too.
