Gwanak, Seoul burger restaurant with crispy eggplant: Daily Fix

A handmade burger spot that delivered on both atmosphere and flavor

A little afternoon freedom after taking a half-day off for the first time in ages🌿 I was craving a handmade burger, so that’s how I ended up at Daily Fix Seoul National University Entrance!

The yellow sign that says BURGER had been catching my eye on my commute, too👀 Let me introduce Daily Fix, a neat, atmospheric handmade burger spot just a two-minute walk from Exit 2 of Seoul National University Entrance Stationヽ(｡･∀･｡)ﾉ♪

What is the atmosphere like at Daily Fix near Seoul National University Entrance Station?

From Exit 2 of Seoul National University Entrance Station, go straight and it is about a two-minute walk away. You can park in building wings A and B (not C, because that is the dental building), and diners receive one hour of free parking.

The clean, stylish interior caught my eye as soon as I walked in. I visited at around 1:20 p.m., just after the weekday lunch rush, and there were plenty of seats!

Sit at the bar seats by the wide-open windows, with a great view outside and cheerful pop music playing, and it feels like you have stepped into a mood-filled pub🍻 The tables are not packed too tightly, either, so it is a comfortable place to eat. Perfect for a date, of course, but also for a casual visit with friends or coworkers👍

I ordered the Double Cheeseburger and fried eggplant

I looked over the menu and wondered which burger to have, then decided to order mostly the signature items.

• Double Cheeseburger (₩15,900)
• Crispy Outside, Tender Inside Fried Eggplant (₩12,900)
• Coleslaw (₩5,900)
• Stripe (₩2,900)

The coleslaw and drinks arrived first. Soft drinks can be refilled! Just press the staff-call button if you would like one. I tend to have coleslaw whenever I eat a burger, so I ordered it here, too. Cabbage, onion, and carrot are tossed in a house mayonnaise sauce, making it a fresh accompaniment to the burger.

Crispy fried eggplant that stayed crisp even when cool

The fried eggplant was crisp outside and tender inside, with what looked like a light sprinkle of paprika powder on top. The dipping sauce is a house green mayo made with a celery base. Fried eggplant at a handmade burger place? I was curious, but it was such a great choice!👏👏

French fries!?🙂↔️ Fried eggplant, yesss!!! Perfect fried eggplant that stayed crispy even after cooling🫶 I definitely recommend trying it at Daily Fix!

A Double Cheeseburger with two Korean beef patties

The Double Cheeseburger has double patties and double cheese! The patties are made with 100% Korean beef—what more is there to say? Every bite was full of juicy, nutty richness🤤

The ingredients are fairly simple: whole-grain mustard, ketchup sauce, American cheese, Swiss cheese, two Korean beef patties, and onion inside a soft bun!

The patties were not overly salty or intense, and the straightforward combination of ingredients was so good that I enjoyed it right through to the end without getting tired of it👏👏 It is perfect for a filling lunch (everything from the burger to the fried eggplant arrived within 5–10 minutes!). At night, the lighting and wide-open windows make the space feel especially moody, so it is also ideal for a date with a burger and beer on a cool evening like these(。ゝ(ェ)・)-☆

Tips to know before visiting

If you are looking for somewhere to eat near Seoul National University Entrance Station, Daily Fix Seoul National University Entrance is a very good choice!

You can receive onion rings when visiting with a Naver reservation, and the review event gives you a corn salad OR coleslaw, so keep that in mind👍 Recommended visit time: there may be a short wait during the lunch rush, so I recommend arriving a little early or avoiding peak time.

It is a great place to stop by when you want polished handmade burgers in a clean atmosphere near Seoul National University Entrance. I recommend the handmade burger spot Daily Fix(o^-' )b !
