I’m from Mumbai, India and I visited HKG last year. Sadly, I didn’t have the opportunity to read through this post first… Great job of all the info in one spot!

Have you tried Big Bite over in North Point? Love their hot dogs so much I’ve yet to try their burgers but those certainly have their fans…

Great FAQ on HK’s burger joints! Amazing that only a few years ago, it really was Dan Ryan’s and that was about it. BTW, there are other locations for DR’s and MOSburger around town.

I’ve been a MOS fan since the 80s…when I lived in Tokyo they were a fave for two important reasons: 1) you can customize your burger (those who’ve lived in the Land of No-Choice know what I mean), 2) they had a non-smoking section. Their fries are distinctive, another plus. I feel the Hong Kong branches of MOS are not nearly as good as the ones in Japan.

Inn Side Out in Causeway Bay is allied with East End Brewery in Quarry Bay (I work out there but since the non-smoking ordinance came into effect 1/1/2007, EEB refused to comply and I haven’t entered since). At either place you can get blue cheese on yer burger…add bacon and you’ve got a unique combo. Also won’t have to eat again until the next day!

I’m with you: if I want a pizza, I want a PIZZA. It won’t have hoisin sauce on it. Therefore, a “veggie-burger” is an oxymoron: if I’m getting a burger it will be made out of beef. Veggies? On the side!!

I went to Monster Burger and jeez…terrible. The meat tasted like it had been sitting in a freezer for weeks then thawed in a microwave. Tasteless and poor quality meat. The fries were grease sticks, which are good only if you’re into that sort of thing – which I happen to be.

Still…bleh.

Veggie burger seekers, FYI: my fave veg burgers are found at Cul-de-Sac and Shake-em-Buns. Triple O’s comes a close runner-up but maybe I had too many of those and got a bit sick of it. Too much of their “special” sauce I think. Not an innuendo — that’ what they call it. Burgerroom veg one replaces the patty with a grilled portobello mushroom, and as much as i Love mushies, burgers just ain’t burgers without a good patty…

I’m sorry Rom. The worst veggie burger I’ve ever had was at DeLaney’s (the one in Wan Chai). It was just so dry and bland, the chef didn’t even put any sauce on it, so all I got was a veggie patty in a bun! (with some veggies and fries on the side.)

MOS burgers taste like poo, and the burgers they serve you look nothing like the ones they show you on the menu (zero resemblence! Soggy shredded lettuce instead of whole leaves). Atomic is great after a big night out (the fat man is the juiciest burger ever, I actually ruined my coat because of it), but I can’t really give an honest opinion because I’m never sober when I hit that joint up.

If I had to pick, I’d either go for Dan Ryan’s or Cul De Sac (great philly cheese steak sandwich).
