The first you notice about this handmade burger joint is the bright yellow sign that stands out amongst all the rib restaurants on Galbi Street. When asked how the place came to be, owner Lee Yong-ho simply states, “Because the thing I eat the most is burgers.” An ex-member of the national snowboarding team, he acquired a taste for burgers while traveling to Canada and the U.S. for training. The secret to Alley Burger’s success is their integrity—they create all of their own patties and sauces, which is a steal at 5,000 won (or less). Feeling adventurous? Try his mother’s special bulgogi sauce on your burger for a more Koreanized taste.
