It's a bit of a stroll but well worth the effort. Just next to Komazawa Koen so you can work off your huge burger with a nice stroll around the park. Watch out for lots of people bringing dogs wearing clothes at the weekend though... I once encountered a troupe of 4 bulldogs each wearing personalised baseball uniforms there! EDIT: they have a website, search "AS Classics" on google. They also have a good rock'n'roll soundtrack going. But watch out! Closed on Tuesdays! Link to post Share on other sites

If you're in Machida (I think you are) then it's a bit of a ride, but could probably use the Denentoshi line depending on which station you live closest to. Link to post Share on other sites

OkemoLoon 0 Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 Just got back from chowing the biggest burger I have slammed since I have been in Japan, very tasty as well. Thanks Chodaboy! We went to West Park Cafe in Yoyogi Uehara. This burger was just as good as Outback or TGI Fridays only BIGGER. It was a true American size burger and it was great. I will def. be returning. Made me miss home 'sad face' Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Originally Posted By: OkemoLoon The Coronary Burger! Only available in America. How exactly do you eat this?? I'd like to have a go, but I like a burger that can balance size and toppings with overall burger integrity while eating, nothing worse than everything slipping out the back after you have squashed it down and taken a bite. Burger eating is a science!! Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 You would have to dismantle it on a plate and then just eat it with knife and fork. Link to post Share on other sites

Kingofmyrrh 0 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I think I have been to West Park Cafe, they have a branch in the marubiru if I'm not mistaken. The key to the AS Classics burger is the layer of some kind of compound cheesy mash/paste they put below the patty - just a thin layer. It transforms the experience. Always a good choice for dinner after a journey home from skiing/surfing. Link to post Share on other sites
flipside 0 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Sasebo in Kyushu has hundreds of real 'slow food' burger joints. Possibly started from the US Navy/Army presence in the vicinity. But you've got to go down there and get the burger shop tour guide map. Big flat ones, tall chunky ones.... they've got 'em all. man I'm hungry. Link to post Share on other sites
Oyuki kigan 0 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 But what i want is a portabello mushroom burger (they were mind-blowingly good, but i've only had them at Irish Pub-style restaurants for some reason) Link to post Share on other sites

SirJibAlot 0 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Kua'aina is the best in the WORLD - not just Japan. But the burgers in Japan aresn't as good as the ones at the original stand in Hawaii. In Hawaii, they us Maui onions on the burgers and onion rings. Maui onions are so sweet, you can eat them like an apple (Chairman Kaga style). Link to post Share on other sites
