Hanbaagaasuuteeki: Asian-Inspired Smash Burgers in Victoria
Just steps from Victoria Station, Hanbaagaasuuteeki (a Japanese term for hamburger steak) brings a unique twist to London's thriving smash burger scene. This casual eatery combines Japanese culinary techniques with Korean, Thai, and Chinese flavour profiles to create a truly distinctive burger experience.
Signature Dishes
With a deliberately concise menu, Hanbaagaasuuteeki focuses on perfecting a handful of standout offerings:
- Another Double Cheese Burger - Their classic smash burger option
- Kimchi Burger - Korean-inspired with slow-fermented kimchi
- Isan Burger - Thai-influenced featuring Bird's Eye chili
- Szechuan Chicken Sandwich - A not-so-secret off-menu specialty
The sides are equally thoughtful, with Miso Loaded Fries consistently mentioned in reviews as a must-try item. For those avoiding carbs, the restaurant offers "naked burger plates" that deliver all the flavour without the bun.

The space embraces minimalism with white-tiled walls accented by bold red lettering. The casual, no-frills approach extends to the dining experience, with paper plates and a focus on the food rather than formality. Outdoor seating makes this an excellent spot for people-watching while enjoying your meal.
