The atmosphere of this restaurant is so friendly and welcoming. The owner and his staff are wonderful and always have a smile on their faces. The space has a kind of retro eclectic vibe and they always have the most amazing music playing. I have been known to sing and dance along to it on occasion. The menu is posted above the counter in English which really put me at ease when it came to ordering. I can read Hangul and understand some Korean food words, thanks to my Korean cooking escapades, but having it in English really helps. Plus they have a more detailed menu in Korean.
When it comes to ordering food in Korea, I can get extremely nervous because I am worried about my pronunciation. At Second Corner Burger I don't seem to have that problem. They are kind, patient and never have a problem understanding what I've ordered.
Now onto the good stuff, the food! Words can not describe how amazing this food it. For starters, the owner grinds the meat for the burgers himself. That is next level dedication. The meat in these burgers is so tender and juicy. Then the toppings are the perfect compliment of flavors. My favorites are the American Cheese and 90's Old Fashioned. The flavors in these burgers are off the charts. I love the combination of the fried egg with the coleslaw that tops the 90”s Old Fashioned. It's the perfect combination of creamy, acidic and gooey. The cheese sauce paired with the friend onion on the American Cheese is mind blowing. The crunchy, cheesy taste combined with melt in your mouth meat patty is sensational. Everything in them comes together perfectly to create an amazing taste experience. These burgers aren't small either. The burger alone is enough to fill you up. But, if you want more, they offer fries, sweet potato fries, and onion rings. All of them are delicious but my personal favorite is the sweet potato fries. I love the sweetness of the potato combined with the savory flavors in the burger. Also, be warned that these burgers can be messy to eat. You can eat them with a knife and fork to avoid this messiness. I personally love to eat them with my hands and allow the deliciousness to drip all over my fingers. Eating one of these burgers is an experience and I am here for it.
These burgers are some of the best burgers I have had and I don't just mean in Korea. I literally dream about these burgers. The quality is next level and I have never been disappointed with anything I have tried here. I highly recommend Second Corner Burger for anyone that loves a good burger or good food in general. Fortunate for me, this restaurant is located in Anseong, where I live and I eat here often. I know that people often travel to Seoul looking for good food or a taste of home but this place is better than anything I have eaten in Seoul. I would travel from Seoul just to eat one of these burgers.
Thank you for joining me for another one of my food adventures. Happy eating!
XOXO,
