Euljiro double burger with mozzarella and bacon fries: BAS Burger

What is BAS Burger Euljiro Branch like?

Today's restaurant is BAS Burger Euljiro Branch! Among all the handmade burger brands out there, BAS Burger is one I trust, and I find myself going back regularly. It has branches in several places besides Euljiro.

BAS Burger is a handmade burger brand where you can enjoy burgers along with a range of sides like whole fried mozzarella, buffalo wings and crunch burgers. Its selling point is the kind of combination you only get with handmade burgers, which is different from fast-food chain burgers. Euljiro is an area packed with office workers, so people are often hunting for a place for lunch or dinner, and burgers have the advantage of being easy to choose and not too time-consuming to eat. It's a good place to go when you want a solid, filling meal.

The craft beer at BAS Burger Euljiro Branch is decent too, so it's a nice spot for dinner.

What's the best way to eat BAS Burger's free potato chips?

One of the things that stands out at BAS Burger is the potato chips served free in the restaurant. They're great for nibbling while you wait for your burger, so your mouth isn't bored before the main menu arrives. The chips are thin, crispy and nutty, and personally I like them even more than the fries that come with the burger set.

They're a nice light bite before the burger, and a little sprinkle of salt and pepper gives them a salty kick that gets your appetite going. I like that there's something to snack on without ordering a separate side. A burger and fries already make for a pretty hefty meal, so getting to taste chips before that gives BAS Burger its own small bit of fun.

Dip the chips in mayonnaise and they taste even nuttier and better.

What are the BAS Burger set and the double burger?

This time we ordered the BAS Burger set and the double burger. The BAS Burger set is the basic combo of a burger, fries and cola, the most familiar way to eat a handmade burger.

In the burger, the bun, patty, vegetables and sauce come together so you get several flavors and textures at once. Add vegetables to the savory patty and the texture gets even more varied, while the sauce ties everything together naturally.

The double burger has two beef patties, so it suits a grown man's appetite. A great pick for anyone who finds a single patty a bit lacking!

BAS Burger sides: whole fried mozzarella and bacon fries

Whole fried mozzarella

This is the whole fried mozzarella (tongmojja twigim) we ordered as a side. It's a good choice when you want something a bit different alongside the burger and fries.

Mozzarella is known for its soft, nutty flavor, and when fried you get a crispy outside with soft cheese inside. Cheese fritters especially show off that cheesy flavor when they're eaten warm. You have to take a bite while it's hot and stretchy!

Bacon fries

These are the bacon fries, a side that goes well with a burger. Crispy fries topped with bacon give you a different flavor from regular fries: the plain, nutty taste of potato with the salty richness of bacon. With the crispy fries and bacon together the chew is varied too, and with a burger it makes the meal even more filling.

Fries are a must-have side with a handmade burger, and the appeal here is that adding bacon makes the flavor richer. If you want something a bit more intense than plain fries, it's a good one to order alongside.

Why I keep going back to BAS Burger

The double burger looked fantastic and the vegetables were so fresh, it was really delicious. One of the reasons I like BAS Burger is the perfect balance of a soft butter bun, fresh vegetables and a sauce that isn't overdone.

The cola cup is also big, so you get plenty, which I like. The photo was taken partway through drinking it.

BAS Burger is a good place to visit in Euljiro when you want a simple but filling meal, or handmade burgers with a variety of sides. You can pick between a regular burger and a double burger to suit your taste, and ordering several dishes together lets you compare different flavors, which is fun. On a day in Euljiro when you're craving a burger, BAS Burger Euljiro Branch is worth considering, from the free potato chips to the burgers and sides.
