Primary-color burger shop in Seongsu: weekday date, Bored & Hungry

My husband finally had a weekday off, so we wondered where to go and settled on Seongsu^^ I searched like crazy for a place that would make this precious time feel well spent, and found a hot spot that everyone visiting Seongsu seems to stop by at least once, haha. We went on a date to Bored & Hungry Seongsu (보어드앤헝그리 성수), said to be one of the best burger places in Korea 😊

What are the exterior and atmosphere of Bored & Hungry Seongsu like?

Bored & Hungry Seongsu has a yellow base with red, blue and green primary-color accents that catch your eye right away. Very Seongsu, with the vibes starting from the exterior✨

It honestly makes you want to walk in as you pass by!! Foreigners were passing by and taking tons of photos, haha. Bored & Hungry is said to be the trendiest brand in Korea, and I can see why, haha.

Inside, it was much bigger than I expected! It doesn't feel like just a handmade burger place; they sell props and clothing too, so it has a bit of a select-shop feel👀

Everywhere you point the camera is a photo spot, so I took a ton of pictures, haha. The space is large and the tables are spaced widely, so you can eat at your leisure. I heard this trendy space can also be rented, so if you're interested, it's worth asking^^

How do you order at Bored & Hungry Seongsu?

At Bored & Hungry Seongsu, you hold your phone to the tag on the table and the order screen opens by itself. Such a high-tech ordering system😃 I was surprised, haha.

Here's what we ordered.

• O.G Shrimp Burger
• Bacon Deluxe Burger
• Corn ribs
• Fries
• 2 drinks (free refills👍)

The self-service corner is well set up too, with tissues, plates, knives, forks and even nitrile gloves, so it was easy to grab what we needed!👍 And free drink refills are a real thank-you for people like me who drink 2 drinks😂

What does the O.G Shrimp Burger taste like? (A must-eat!!)

The O.G Shrimp Burger at Bored & Hungry Seongsu surprised me with its size the moment it came out! Haha. The patty is seriously overwhelming~

I'd expected a typical franchise shrimp burger, and it was a totally different experience.

• 👉 Patty size = feels almost 3–4 times bigger
• 👉 One bite gives you shrimp meat plus the texture of whole shrimp!

The savory depth is the real deal, and "wow, this shrimp burger is really good" just slipped out, haha. The sauce is slightly spicy and nutty, a perfect match for a shrimp burger, so it's the best combination, haha. If you love shrimp burgers, I think you should all try Bored & Hungry; it felt like the number one shrimp burger place.

They say Snoop Dogg fell for this Seongsu burger place, and I can see why, haha. Kids would definitely love this menu item too, haha. I looked it up, and it turns out Bored & Hungry is the very burger place where Haha held his birthday party on the show Running Man, hahaha.

How was the Bacon Deluxe Burger?

The Bacon Deluxe Burger was my husband's pick, and after one bite he kept saying wow~~ it's really good, haha.

The filling is really hearty, so I recommend the Bacon Deluxe Burger for meat lovers! The patty is juicy, and the bacon and cheese combo is spot on, so it clearly feels like a place that does the basic burger well too, haha.

How were the corn ribs and fries?

The corn ribs I'd seen in so many reviews! Bored & Hungry's corn ribs are dusted with a seasoning a bit like spiral potato seasoning, and the corn is crunchy and chewy, which is the charm. With plenty of seasoning they're salty and keep you reaching for more 😆

The fries are the classic style! Dip them in ketchup and it's that scarily familiar taste! Haha😆

Is Bored & Hungry Seongsu good for photos?

This Seongsu burger spot, Bored & Hungry Seongsu, was truly a photo paradise 📷 The colors are pretty and the lighting is good, so even casual shots come out looking aesthetic, haha.

It's great as a date spot, and perfect for going with friends to take photos!😁

Verdict: would I recommend it as a Seongsu date burger?

Seongsu hot spot confirmed👍 Bored & Hungry Seongsu nails taste, atmosphere and looks all together! 👉 The shrimp burger is a must-eat, and 👉 it's great for photos, so I recommend it as a date spot too. It was a rare date with my husband without the kids, and we ate well, took tons of photos and came back properly refreshed 😊

Next time I plan to go again with the kids!💜 If you're looking for a Seongsu date spot, I strongly recommend Bored & Hungry, where the burgers are amazing and the staff are so, so kind 😁👍
