Euljiro burger restaurant lunch set with coleslaw: BAS Burger

BAS Burger for lunch in Euljiro

I was craving a handmade burger for lunch in Euljiro, so I visited BAS Burger Euljiro Branch. Since the restaurant is underground, the mood already felt different from the stairs at the entrance. Walk down the neon-lit stairs and you find a space with brick walls, exposed pipes, and vintage tables—it had a very American-style burger-joint feel overall. So if you are looking for a great handmade burger in Euljiro, this is a place where the atmosphere is as fun as the food.

BAS Burger set with a coleslaw swap

That day, I ordered one BAS Burger set, one BAS Burger à la carte, four Buffalo chicken wings, truffle mayo sauce, and a draft beer. I switched the set fries for coleslaw and chose a milkshake for the drink.

The BAS Burger I had as the main was a classic style with a patty, cheese, and vegetables, so each ingredient came through cleanly. The patty was savory, but the vegetables kept it from feeling heavier than expected, and the bun was soft too, so the overall balance was good. If you prefer a handmade burger that sticks to the basics over an overly intense burger when looking for a hamburger in Euljiro, this should suit you.

I was also happy with swapping the set fries for coleslaw. Eating the tangy coleslaw alongside the burger cut through the richness nicely.

Buffalo chicken wings and draft beer

The four-piece Buffalo chicken wings I ordered as a side came with a spicy sauce and went especially well with draft beer. It is a great side to add when a burger alone feels a little incomplete at an Euljiro restaurant.

Once I tried the burger, the patty felt quite substantial—more so than it looked in the photos. With the first bite, I tasted the patty's savory richness and the saltiness of the cheese first, followed by the crisp texture of the vegetables. The sauce was not too strong either, so it did not overpower the individual ingredients. Personally, I liked that this kind of classic burger does not become tiresome.

Potato chips with truffle mayo

When I go out for handmade burgers in Euljiro, I tend to think of fries, but BAS Burger felt a little different because you can freely help yourself to potato chips. They are thin, so they were easy to pick at lightly between bites of burger, and the truffle mayo really brings out the aroma. Especially with draft beer, they felt less like a simple side and more like a proper drinking snack.

The lunch lineup seemed like one office workers would visit for a meal, so it was also a decent place to come specifically to eat. If you are looking for an Euljiro hamburger spot where you can eat comfortably alone, the seating atmosphere did not feel too intimidating either.

One thing I really liked at BAS Burger was the unlimited potato chips. You can take as much as you want from the self-service bar, and they were crisp and salty even on their own. Dipping them in the extra truffle mayo was seriously delicious. I would recommend this combination if you visit BAS Burger Euljiro Branch.

The milkshake was sweet and smooth, making it a good match for the burger, and I also ordered a draft beer to enjoy everything from the burger and wings to the potato chips.

From a solo lunch set to a meal for a group

If you visit for a solo lunch in Euljiro, just one BAS Burger set should be quite filling. If you come with several people, it would be nice to add wings or sides to share.
