Hapjeong Station's 15-Year Traditional Handmade Burger Spot - Honest Review of 뉴욕아파트먼트

Discovered a Burger Spot at Hapjeong Station with a New York Vibe!

The place I've been curious about because I've seen it so often on Instagram lately! My friend kept recommending, "There's a really delicious handmade burger place in Hapjeong," so I finally decided to visit 뉴욕아파트먼트. I went with my friend around 2 PM on a Saturday, and luckily, we could get in without waiting.

It's about a 3-4 minute walk from Hapjeong Station? It's located in the Delight Square building, so it was easy to find. The bright yellow sign really stood out from a distance!

Interior That Feels Like a Real New York Apartment

As soon as we opened the door and walked in, we couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow!" It felt like we were visiting an apartment in New York. There were so many figures and dolls on the walls, and it was fun to look at each one.

The tables were cute, and the lighting was soft, making it great for taking photos. My friend and I spent quite a while just exploring the interior, haha.

So Many Menu Choices... It's Hard to Decide!

The ordering system was through a kiosk, and there were so many menu options that it was hard to decide. In addition to handmade burgers, they had pasta, risotto, and steak! It was like a complete Western cuisine restaurant.

We finally decided on:

• New York Steak Burger (18,000 KRW)
• Hawaiian Jack Sauce Burger (16,500 KRW)
• New York Mushroom Cream Risotto (17,500 KRW)
• French Fries (4,500 KRW)

The prices are honestly a bit high, but considering it's a 15-year-old establishment with a Blue Ribbon award, it's worth having high expectations, right?

The Burgers Finally Arrived... They're Huge!

Did we wait about 15 minutes? The food arrived, and the burgers were enormous! They were so big that you could barely hold them with both hands.

New York Steak Burger was the first to try! The patty was really thick, and you could see the juices flowing out. When I took a bite... Wow, I wondered if this was the taste of 15 years of tradition. The meat was really tender, and the sauce was sweet and savory, perfectly hitting my taste preferences!

Hawaiian Jack Sauce Burger featured a sweet taste with pineapple. At first, I thought, "Pineapple on a burger?" but it surprisingly worked well together. The Jack sauce was slightly spicy, balancing perfectly with the sweetness.

It's Not Just About the Burgers!

The risotto was really delicious too! It was a mushroom cream risotto, and the cream sauce was really rich, with a great mushroom aroma. It also had plenty of cheese, making it fun to see it stretch.

The French fries were... just ordinary. They were crispy, but nothing special. The burgers were so filling that we couldn't finish the fries, haha.

How's the Value for Money?

Honestly speaking... the price is a bit high. With burgers priced between 16,000 KRW and 18,000 KRW, it can be a bit burdensome. However, the portions are really large, and the taste is definitely on a different level compared to other franchise burgers. It seems like a good place to visit on a special occasion!

Honest Overall Impression

I was worried that it might just rely on its reputation as an old famous spot because of its 15-year tradition, but it was really delicious! The harmony of the patty's juices and the sauce was impressive. The price is a bit steep, but I think it's worth it.

Next time, I want to try the steak or pasta. I think I'll come back with friends on a special day! If you're near Hapjeong Station and want a proper handmade burger, I recommend it.
