I recently visited this burger shop in Auckland, New Zealand, and my experience was a bit of a mixed bag. The car park situation in the area wasn’t great, which added a bit of hassle to the visit. However, I must say the food was delivered swiftly, and while it wasn’t mind-blowing, it was decent.
On the downside, the fries were disappointingly oily, which took away from the overall enjoyment of the meal. Despite this, a notable positive was the friendly demeanor of the chef, which added a pleasant touch to the dining experience. In summary, it’s a place where you can grab a quick bite, but improvements in the parking situation and fry preparation could elevate the overall experience. Three stars from me.
Great food and friendly staff! I came here after driving past many times and then seeing lots of good reviews. The reviews were right, this is a fab little burger place. I had the philly cheesesteak burger and nori fries. I wouldn't usually pick that burger flavour but it was mentioned so many times in the reviews and it was great. The fries were flavourful, would definitely recommend. Can't wait to come back and try the other burger flavours.
If you wanna try a certified halal burger you should definitely go there!
Very nice and welcoming people. The bun was soft and the steak was juicy and tender as we want to. A great souvenir ;)
Nice little place for u to try a mix of NZ and Japanese taste. We tried some nice beef brisk and philly burgers which would be awesome with a small touch of pickle (totally subjective though). Service was very friendly and aware of customers needs; 5/5 for that.
Excellent service, didn’t expect the staff of a takeaway burger place to ask us whether we’ve been here before and went through the menu with us. We ordered a Philly cheesesteak burger (as recommended by the staff) and the teriyaki beef burger. We really enjoyed the burger buns and the Philly cheesesteak burger, I thought there were too much teriyaki source for the other one, to an extent we couldn’t taste the patty. Will go again and try other burgers along with the Philly cheesesteak.
Great service and tasty burgers, just a little bit too much sauce. But in general, it's a great burger shop!
Recently noticed this local eatry while looking for food places around the neighbourhood on Google maps.
Yesterday ordered a double stacker and a philly cheese steak burger with kids menu items. Ordered over the phone.
Turned up at the restaurant and food was almost ready.
Burgers were great in taste and good serving size.
Will definitely return to try other burgers and some of their Japanese food items.
Can safely recommend the place to anyone looking for gourmet burgers.
First time my family enjoyed a meal at Hambagu tonight. As a family business owner, Mondays we are closed and this a good chance to get out of the house and an opportunity to support a great local business. We met the very kindhearted owner, welcoming us with the smiles
We ordered Katsu Curry Don, Gyudon Beef Bowl, Karaage Chicken, Fries, Pulled Beef Brisket Burgers. Incredible food loved by all the family. Highly recommended and really worth a visit!
One of the overall best hamburgers in NZ my partner & I have tried. We had the Tropical Bliss & The Chicken Katsu burgers. We both liked how one flavour didn't overpower the entire meal for either burger. Whilst there was sauce, it wasn't too heavy in either burger & we didn't ask them to make it any differently from normal. As we are locals, we will definitely be coming back! Thanks for the excellent meal!
Easily 5+ stars. I ordered a simple cheese burger, seasoned fries and 6 pieces of karaage chicken. The food was excellent. The burger was epic. Easily one of the best burgers I have had at this price point. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients. The karaage chicken was crispy, moist and were also delicious. Fries were pretty good too! Definitely heading back to sample more. Great friendly service too.
Favourite burger so far is the cheese burger with the double pattie and cheese.
The burger is ubiquitous, but so few places strive to elevate the protein-in-a-bun formula. I am please to report that Hambagu DOES elevate the simple burger. High quality ingredients prepared perfectly. beef pattie smash burger perfection. Perfectly fried chicken in brioche-style bun. Unique ideas like the rice bun. This place is worthy of your visit! (Takeaway only, 3 small outdoor tables on the footpath)
Delicious and creative Japanese-inspired burgs. Fab quick and friendly service. Only downside is it doesn't have a great eat-in area, it's just out on the footpath on the side of a busy road. Definitely give them a go if you want takeout!
Ordered 2 burgers (cheeseburger and chicken), onion rings and drinks. Friendly staff, fast service and burgers were delicious! Would happily come again!
As soon as we got there, the staff were extremely welcoming and recommend us some of their popular dishes as we were new customers. The food tasted amazing, and their burgers were very filling and worth the money. The overall service was of high quality, would definitely recommend it (+ they are halal too)
Good food
great service
had the sushi burger and tropical chicken burger both were great
Great selection of gourmet burgers, Service was humbled but a bit slow. The location is also average.
If you haven’t had a Japanese rice burger before then go and get one NOW! (Rice is a good option for those who want to cut gluten intake) Their burgers and Dons are great. Owners are super friendly. This is the type of local business one needs to support as it is run by the owners and buying here makes a real difference to the community. Ingredients were fresh!
Burger was OK, the chips were nice, onion rings were decent.
Parking is problematic though as the road is very busy.
Service was good and friendly.
My family and I came here for a late snack, and I was truly intreged in the halal variety they had. We got ourselves one philly burger, brisket burger, and some wings.
The food didn't take too long to come and their service was great. The food had some great flavour and it was well balanced and not too heavy.
The outside seating is what you could expect but it could also do with some improvement.
Overall my family and I had a great experience and will most likely come back and try the donburi.
