On a weekday evening visit, two Shibuya Honey Burgers were ordered with different sides plus sweet potato fries dipped in sweet chili sauce, and the brioche bun with the honey sauce gave a good sweet-and-savory balance. Prices stay easy for a handmade burger place, so 1986 Shibuya Burger suits students eating alone as well as friends and couples. ## Good to know - **Location**: 1st floor, 5 Gyeonghuidae-ro 1ga-gil, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: Daily 11:00 - 21:00 - **Parking**: None on site / use the Cheongryang Elementary public lot or the private lot near Hoegi Station Exit 1 - **How to order**: Pay at the kiosk, then pick up when the buzzer rings - **What we ate**: Two Shibuya Honey Burgers (with different sides), sweet potato fries *as written by the visitor on Sep 16, 2026* > Hoegi food spot | 1986 Shibuya Burger ![Signature photo of 1986 Shibuya Burger near Hoegi Station](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoegi-shibuya-burger-honey-sweet-potato/hoegi-shibuya-burger-honey-sweet-potato-01-1bmjt-1200.webp) Location | 5 Gyeonghuidae-ro 1ga-gil, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, South Korea, 1st floor Hours | Daily / 11:00 - 21:00 Parking | Not available / use public parking Cheongryang Elementary public parking lot, private lot near Exit 1 of Hoegi Station ![Store information for 1986 Shibuya Burger](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoegi-shibuya-burger-honey-sweet-potato/hoegi-shibuya-burger-honey-sweet-potato-02-c9h96-900.webp) ## What kind of place is 1986 Shibuya Burger? Today I'm introducing a handmade burger restaurant in Hoegi, Seoul: 1986 Shibuya Burger. ![일본 컨셉이 느껴지는 1986시부야버거 입구](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoegi-shibuya-burger-honey-sweet-potato/hoegi-shibuya-burger-honey-sweet-potato-03-12qdv-900.webp) 1986 Shibuya Burger is a handmade burger specialist built around Shibuya's retro feel and city-pop mood — from the entrance you can already feel the Japan-inspired concept, so it's easy to spot right away. It's also near Kyung Hee University's Seoul campus, so a lot of students were visiting. I think that's partly because, for a handmade burger place, it's pretty affordable too. ![Warmly lit interior seating at 1986 Shibuya Burger](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoegi-shibuya-burger-honey-sweet-potato/hoegi-shibuya-burger-honey-sweet-potato-04-1xuh0-900.webp) The lighting itself is warm, so I felt comfortable the whole time I was there, and it's the kind of space that suits friends as much as family or couples. On top of preparing fresh ingredients every day, they're also known for their thick beef patties, which is why I made a point of coming quickly. ![The retro-mood interior of Shibuya Burger](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoegi-shibuya-burger-honey-sweet-potato/hoegi-shibuya-burger-honey-sweet-potato-05-1i2mn-900.webp) Rather than recreating a flashy Japanese-themed space, they say they aim for a comfortable place you can naturally drop into — after class in the afternoon, on a day you want to eat slowly alone, when you want to chat easily with a friend, or when you want a different kind of date in Hoegi. ![Store interior showing the self-serve bar next to the counter](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoegi-shibuya-burger-honey-sweet-potato/hoegi-shibuya-burger-honey-sweet-potato-06-r2v99-900.webp) ## What is on the self-serve bar at 1986 Shibuya Burger? 1986 Shibuya Burger's self-serve bar sits next to the counter, stocked with everything from jalapeños and pickles to disposable gloves and various sauces. There's really so much, right? This self-serve bar even has refresh kits and hair ties for customers who've just eaten a burger — nothing is missing. ![Sauces and pickles laid out at the Shibuya Burger self-serve bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoegi-shibuya-burger-honey-sweet-potato/hoegi-shibuya-burger-honey-sweet-potato-07-c6q97-900.webp) The owner says they keep researching new flavors! They're developing new burgers and seasonal menus that put a Shibuya spin on familiar ingredients, so if a new item shows up every time you visit, the fun of coming back would only grow. Once you finish paying at the kiosk, a buzzer comes out automatically. You hold onto the buzzer, wait at your table, and pick up your order when it rings — that's the system. ![Buzzer and table after ordering at the kiosk](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoegi-shibuya-burger-honey-sweet-potato/hoegi-shibuya-burger-honey-sweet-potato-08-17a13-900.webp) ## How did the Shibuya Honey Burger taste? What we ordered was 1986 Shibuya Burger's Shibuya Honey Burger! We only varied the sides and got the same burger. ![Two Shibuya Honey Burger sets ordered with different sides](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoegi-shibuya-burger-honey-sweet-potato/hoegi-shibuya-burger-honey-sweet-potato-09-qbdhs-900.webp) ![Cross-section of the Shibuya Honey Burger on a brioche bun](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoegi-shibuya-burger-honey-sweet-potato/hoegi-shibuya-burger-honey-sweet-potato-10-17hox-900.webp) Right from the buttery brioche bun it's delicious, and true to the name Shibuya Honey Burger, it comes with a sweet special honey sauce. It's not an overpoweringly sweet flavor, and it balances nicely with the patty's moderate saltiness for a good sweet-savory combo — I'd recommend it if you're in the mood for sweet and savory. ![Crispy fried sweet potato fries side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoegi-shibuya-burger-honey-sweet-potato/hoegi-shibuya-burger-honey-sweet-potato-11-1ihin-900.webp) ### Sweet potato fries with sweet chili sauce A must-order: the sweet potato fries! Once I tried the crispy-fried sweet potato's sweet texture, I couldn't stop reaching for more. Paired with the well-matched Shibuya sweet chili sauce, the savoriness doubles — it's the kind of taste that lingers, where you had it yesterday and already want it again today. ![Burger filling with cheese, tomato, and lettuce](https://img.superchart.com/images/hoegi-shibuya-burger-honey-sweet-potato/hoegi-shibuya-burger-honey-sweet-potato-12-dfi1f-900.webp) ## Weekday evening at 1986 Shibuya Burger: seating and value It also has soft cheese along with thinly sliced tomato and lettuce, so the texture was nice and crisp too... It's easy to get to since it's near Kyung Hee University, and we visited on a weekday evening when the place was busy enough that all but one or two seats were taken. Above all, I think the value for money is solid. You might expect handmade burgers to be pricey, but the prices here are approachable even for students, which was another satisfying part of the visit. If you're looking for a Hoegi food spot or a Kyung Hee University food spot, especially if you want to try a particularly good-quality handmade burger, don't hesitate — go visit 1986 Shibuya Burger... ## Where it is - 1986 Shibuya Burger (1986시부야버거) - 5 Gyeonghuidae-ro 1ga-gil, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, South Korea, 1st floor - 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/@jangwi-quiet-noodle/hoegi-shibuya-burger-honey-sweet-potato/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
