Seating and waiting area at Bored & Hungry Seongsu

The waiting area at Bored & Hungry Seongsu is neat and well kept, and the shop is big, so it felt airy and really nice! There are lots of seats, from counter seats for solo diners to tables for 2 and 4, so a group is no problem~!

Self-serve drink refills and a hand-washing sink

At Bored & Hungry Seongsu, once you order they bring you a cup of ice first, and you fetch your drink yourself. You can refill freely without asking anyone, which I loved, and it was handy that wet wipes, latex gloves and tissues are out front for self-service.

There's also a separate sink for washing your hands, so I washed up before and after eating >< Even though there's a clean restroom inside the shop, having one out here too was even more convenient~

What we ordered for lunch at Bored & Hungry, and the prices

At Bored & Hungry Seongsu, you tap your phone on the table and the menu pops up. I ordered the Shrimp O.G and the Bacon Deluxe Single, and switched both to combos: fries & drink, and corn ribs & drink.

• Shrimp O.G ₩12,400
• Bacon Deluxe Single ₩11,900
• Fries & drink ₩5,000
• Corn ribs & drink ₩9,400

The Bored & Hungry menu looks amazing from the very first glance~! 🥹

How does the Bacon Deluxe Single (₩11,900) taste?

When I first ordered the Bacon Deluxe Single, I thought it would be similar to McDonald's BTD (the bacon tomato deluxe we all know), but it's different! For one, the vegetables were much fresher and the flavors felt balanced, and the bacon and patty had, how do I put it, a smoky grilled taste? Every bite had a little kick, and thanks to the cheese it's a burger I'd even recommend as a rich, greasy hangover cure.

How big is the Shrimp O.G (₩12,400)?

The Shrimp O.G is a super thick shrimp burger, and it's, how do I say it, hefty~! Honestly, this one burger alone is big enough to fill you up! Careful, it can spill when you bite into it~~~! I recommend holding the paper wrapper underneath too.

My team lead and I both love shrimp burgers, you know? Last week we had a burger at another Seongsu place, and my team lead said this one was tastier than that ><

Combo sides: how were the corn ribs and fries?

We switched to combos at Bored & Hungry Seongsu and got corn ribs and fries. The corn ribs were a look I'd never seen at a real handmade burger place, and the fries look similar to Mom's Touch ones but with less pepper? Less intense, so if I weren't so full I could have kept inhaling them, haha. They seemed to fry them right when we ordered rather than ahead of time, so they were piping hot and even better ㅎ__ㅎ

I felt like a mukbang YouTuber for a moment, haha. I thought, of course you eat a burger with gloves on! But these corn ribs needed gloves for tearing into too ㅎ The corn rib seasoning was nicely punchy and went well with the burger. The bun was soft too, and I could see why they say it's made from the recipe of a chef who won first place at a US burger competition. A great Seongsu burger spot.

Is Bored & Hungry Seongsu worth it for a weekday lunch?
