THE Absolute Best Burger Joint in Japan
At first we a little skeptical about this place. Just like how all food franchises work in Singapore, the moment you have the second outlet, quality dramatically drops. Not to mention that there are 17 outlets here in Hakodate! Anyway it was late and only had a few puny tempura fish while were at Onuma Quasi-National Park. So we simply went into the nearest one to the station, needless to say, also the one without a queue.
The interior is quirky and all. We get that they’re trying to do the retro American Diner style kinda theme. But these clowns and stuff, the look more Halloween than our very own USS Halloween Horror Nights. Other than that we’ve got no complaints, it was a cosy getaway from the freezing cold outside though.
The expectation of how great the food tastes increases exponentially as you wait for the meal. In fact we waited quite a bit for our food even though there wasn’t a queue outside. However when the food arrived, we were absolutely blasted. THIS IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST BURGER WE’VE EVER EATEN ALL OUR LIVES.
Although the cheese burger and the chicken burger doesn’t look the most picturesque, but man we were impressed. There’s a magical taste in it, something that cannot be described in words. If we had a choice we’d eat this more often. Unfortunately this exists only in Hakodate.
In all honesty the logo and branding is in dire need of a refresh cum rebrand. It is highly probable that no creative agency is able to do their revamp because they dug their eyes out seeing this abomination of a website. But who cares about a website if you can sell a million burgers ya, just saying. For more info, click here: https://luckypierrot.jp/en/
