Burger date night at Seonyudo Station Exit 4: shake-dipped fries, BAS

I was looking for a good place near Seonyudo Station and just wandered in, and it turned out I left feeling even happier than expected. The place is BAS Burger Seonyudo.

My partner and I had errands around Seonyudo that day, and when we wondered what to have for dinner, I was suddenly craving a burger. Not a franchise vibe, though. I wanted a properly good handmade burger.

It's right in front of Seonyudo Station, so getting there was easy, and the mood is relaxed enough to eat alone. I get why people seek it out. It would suit an office lunch, but what stuck with me is that it's great for eating solo or a casual date!

How to get to BAS Burger Seonyudo, and where to park

BAS Burger Seonyudo is at 1F, 118-1 Yangpyeong-ro, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, and you can almost see it from Exit 4 of Seonyudo Station. It's open 11:00–21:30.

There's barely any route to explain. When you're hunting for a place near Seonyudo Station, something this close to the station is a nice surprise, right?

Walking over from Dangsan is perfectly doable too, so I think plenty of people stop by on a stroll. It would also work after Seonyudo Park! If you're driving, you'd better check the Yangpyeong 2-dong office public parking lot or the on-street public parking nearby.

Is BAS Burger Seonyudo good for eating alone?

Yes. BAS Burger Seonyudo has a casual handmade-burger vibe, neither overly trendy nor chaotic like fast food, so eating alone felt easy. The first thing I noticed when walking in was how much more relaxed it was than I expected.

Not overly hip, not a busy, frantic fast-food mood, just a casual burger shop feel.

The tables weren't cramped, and there were seats good for two as well as spots for a quick solo meal, so I think it suits anyone looking for a place to eat alone near Seonyudo Station.

Solo customers came in and ate quite naturally. That seems to be a plus for BAS Burger Seonyudo: it isn't a place that's only comfortable with company.

You order at a kiosk, so you can pick and pay quietly, which was handy too.

Unlimited potato chips and sauces at the self bar

The self bar at BAS Burger Seonyudo has potato chips, and refills are unlimited. The chips were the first thing that caught my eye, and the unlimited part is pretty powerful.

Waiting for burgers with nothing to nibble on is a bit boring, right? Here, I grabbed a few chips and picked at them with my partner, and the wait felt much shorter.

The chips aren't so thin that they vanish like a snack; they have a bit more presence, and they're on the salty side, so I kept reaching for more. I shouldn't eat too many before the burgers arrive, and I knew it, but I kept grabbing them anyway, hahaha

I liked that there were several sauces too. It's not just ketchup and mustard; there's a lineup you can match to your taste, so you won't get bored of the fries or the chips.

What we ordered for two: Double BAS set and Double Bacon Cheese Burger

I had the Double BAS set. I chose french fries for the set and added a plain milkshake so I could dip the fries in the shake. My partner had the Double Bacon Cheese Burger, which is just right for a day you want something hearty.

Eating as a pair meant one basic-style burger and one richer one to share, which was even better. At a burger place it's often a shame to try just one item, isn't it~!

Double BAS Burger vs. Double Bacon Cheese Burger: how they taste

The burgers are here~~~ ta-da!

The Double BAS I had fit the description "a handmade burger that sticks to the basics." The patty anchors everything, and the cheddar doesn't stand out too much, so it doesn't mask the beef flavor. It's a style that gets better the more you eat. Not overly intense, and easy to keep eating.

My partner's Double Bacon Cheese Burger was clearly richer. An extra layer of cheddar sits on the savory patty, with the salty bacon backing it up, so if you like meat-forward burgers this one is probably more your taste.

A proper burger-y burger. Hefty, but not overwhelmingly so.

Dipping fries in a plain milkshake

The french fries were crispy outside and fluffy inside, great for picking at between bites of burger.

Dipping fries in a shake is something you crave now and then and have to do, haha. I really liked dipping them in the shake every so often, and with the chips on the side too, it became a much fuller meal than expected.

Is BAS Burger Seonyudo worth a return visit?

BAS Burger Seonyudo is close to the station, comfortable for eating alone, and reliably serves a solid handmade burger. The chips made the wait for burgers a happy moment, and with the milkshake-dipped fries on top, it was a meal with plenty of small joys.

If you're looking for a place near Seonyudo Station, it's a good burger spot to keep in mind for a casual stop, and especially if you want somewhere to eat alone, it's an easy one to try. Next time I'm around Seonyudo Park, I'd like to get takeout and carry it to the Han River. It's that accessible, and it was a really good meal!
