Best Innovative Burger in Hoi An: Chef Burger

Website – Address: 10/14 Bach Dang – Opening hours: 11a.m. – 9p.m., Daily – Price range: Average of 140,000 VND  (6 USD) 

Everyone knows a classic burger is nothing without the beef. But we’ve been eating classic or cheeseburgers all week and have recognised the value of changing it up and making it a bit more local. Hence our visit to Chef Burger to try the Pho Burger. If you’re torn between succumbing to your western cravings and staying true to eating only delicious Vietnamese food, you have to try it! It’s absolutely divine and the perfect half way point – full of Vietnamese flavours yet still with a juicy beef patty and western burger taste. The delicious salad comes with a tasty sesame dressing. The pho beef is cooked with traditional herbs and spices, the noodles are fried and shaped into a bun and served with sauces, herbs and pho soup. It’s a far lighter take on the traditionally hefty hamburger and can be enjoyed at any time of the day.

The Menu at Chef Burger

Their menu offers endless choices including delicious vegan/vegetarian options. The portions are big and the quality of their burgers is excellent. They serve hand cut chips and also make homemade ice-cream. Besides their tasty burgers, the shining side of this colourful place is their staff.  They really go out of their way to make customers feel comfortable and well taken care of. 

The atmosphere here is pleasant, colourful at night due to its convenient Old Town location. Sitting outside the many lanterns decorating the Old Town are enchanting. All of them lit up at night making it a fantastic spot to observe life around the old streets of Hoi An.

We recommend Chef Burger for those gourmets who love burgers made with culinary art and the best imported meat from Australia. Just make sure you wash your hands before eating at Chef Burger because you will be licking your fingers afterwards!

This is a lovely spot, chosen for its atmosphere and its healthy food choices, visiting ‘Nourish Eatery’ is a must.

The Wauw Burger certainly has its name right! Veggie patty (rice, black beans, roasted beetroot, mushroom, pumpkin seeds and rosemary), roasted tomatoes, veggies, tahini mango chutney on rye, with veggie crisps and vegan mayo.

We are cheese lover people, therefore we needed to find the best cheeseburger in town. And we found it at Jim’s Burgers.

Located not far from the Old Town, owned by an Australian, Jim, this place is perfect if you want a break from Vietnamese food. With its super tasty Australian meat, we suggest trying one of Jim’s cheese burgers: the Camembert, Blue Cheese or Feta Burger. All of them fit so well with the Australian beef patty that the flavour is just out of this world. Additionally, the amount of cheese on top of the burger is very generous. It exceeded our expectations. 

Hidden Hint: Fries are not included in any of the single burger prices so order separately or else, go for a combo which includes fries and a soft drink

Jim’s has a laid-back atmosphere, cosy and decorated with a fun American theme. The menu also has a good variety of local craft beers from Seven Bridges Brewing Co.  As well as beers from Belgium and the Netherlands. Located streetside, with seats outside, Jim’s Burgers is always ready to welcome passerbys. Suitable for all types of traveller, anybody can enjoy their desired burger even if you’re on a budget.

Best Hidden Gem: Circle Café

Facebook – Location: 317, Cua Dai, Hoi An  – Opening hours: 12p.m. – 9.p.m., closed Wednesdays. Price range: Start at 100,000 VND (4.5 USD), reaching up to 165, 000 VND (7 USD) 

Last but not least, our Hidden Gem Burger Joint choice is Circle Café, where the owner gives homage to the original Juicy Lucy from Minneapolis in the United States. 100% beef patty, house-ground, filled with cheddar cheese joins other tasty stuff to form a burger unique in Hoi An and all of Vietnam.

The burger is prepared by putting cheese between two patties of meat.  Then sealing both patties around the cheese to create a single patty with a cheese core. As the burger cooks, the cheese inside melts. This has the effect of keeping the meat near the centre of the burger very juicy. It also separates the cheese from the bun, resulting in a slightly different texture than the usual cheeseburger. Burger toppings such as condiments, onions, and pickles, added if you wish. All burgers come with crispy and plentiful servings of fries.

The Real American Juicy Luicy Taste

If you want to to try the real American Juicy Lucy taste, well.. this place is for you. Circle Café offers a great selection of burgers, we suggest indulging in their best-selling Peanut Butter Burger – a satay lover’s dream. Noteworthy mentions too to the Avocado Bean Burger, The Aussie Lot Juicy Lucy (it has fried pineapple inside too), and the Veggie Burger, which comes with broccoli, avocado, mushrooms and capsicum. 

Hidden Hint: Circle recently added the Burger Bowl to their salads menu. Original Juicy Lucy patty (no bun, no fries)!  Served with avocado, sweet corn, red cabbage, carrot, lettuce and tomato. mustard-olive oil dressing on the side. Well worth a try! 

Circle is really a delight: The music and ambience are fabulous, the restaurant is super clean and the staff are friendly and attentive. They even have a stash of old-school games to keep impatient children (or adults!) occupied.

Hidden’s Thoughts

Juicy meat, cheese, avocado or plain, pickles or just good old lettuce we’ve covered it all. Whichever way you desire it, there’s nothing more satisfying than finding the best burger place. We think our Hoi An list does just that. Just one bite into a perfect burger and you’ll get that home away from home feeling sated. Then you’ll be back to the local favourites discovering all this wonderful city has to offer.
