Large burger with bacon and cheese, a side of onion rings and a Longboard Lager. You were not wrong. Quite aside from Japan, this is the greatest burger I have had anywhere. And the onion rings were pretty special too. As an added bonus there's a shop selling Blue Seal ice-cream just down the street, if you can manage one!

The guys who own the place (more a bar than cafe) are super friendly and they're food is great and BIG...even for a glutton of a foreigner!

Its on the Seibu Ikebukuro line right out of the station. Their Burgers are the best I have ever had in Japan or the states. All burgers are grilled on a natural wood grill.

The burger will end up setting you back 1600-1700 depending on what you put on it, but it's *really* good meat (it's a steak restaurant, the burger is the cheapest thing on the menu). People mentioned Burger Mania, which is awesome -- I'm lucky enough to work near there so I go regularly. I need to go check out Franklin Ave. though, I live only one stop away!

Sun, 10 Jan 2010 02:42:50 +0000 http://www.stippy.com/?p=898#comment-81991 I'm surprised at all the different opinions about burgers here. Fungo the best burger in Tokyo? Whoa, I hope you've had something better by now! My first trips to the Village Vanguard diner in Kichijoji (they have several other locations now, such as Shimokitazawa, Machida and others) was absolutely amazing. They still have very decent burgers (and a variety of beers to go with them), and they seem to play around with their menu a little, offering new tastes and textures from time to time. Good onion rings. Two of the best I have ever had are (in no particular order): BROZERS (Ningyo-cho) and BURGER MANIA (Shirokane) The chilli beans burger at Brozers is filled to the brim with taste without feeling mushy or greasy. Highly recommended! Burger Mania's pattie has so much taste in it. Go for a cheese burger and DON'T leave without getting a milkshake and the cherry pie. Really good.
