    Bulgogi Burger
    David D.

    Ordered the bulgogi burger on Sunday around 1pm, total came out to around $15. Wasn't very busy and it took about 10 mins for the order to be ready. Bathroom is clean and environment overall clean, outdoor seating available. For the price it is on the expensive end but overall a very good and satisfying burger.

    The place I wanted to go to for lunch was closed so I decided to try this spot. I love burgers! The store is small, there is seating inside and outside. There are tablets you can order from by the entrance. I decided to get the Crispy Onion Bacon Burger. This burger was massive. The onion rings itself was hard to bite into. It was good though! The onion rings were very crispy as the name says, and the angus patty was flavorful. Its 13.99 but for around 15 ish dollars before tip, this burger is a pretty good value. I maybe waited around 10 minutes or so for my burger and there weren't that many customers in the store. They were out of ketchup in their dispensers so unfortunately I couldn't load up on ketchup but i'm sure it would've tasted even better with more ketchup!

    Was taking a stroll around the area and on a whim decided to try Rocket Burger Station. It's sort of off in the corner of the Japanese shopping center with Mitsuwa. To be honest, I had little expectations, but I sort of just wanted a (hopefully) decent burger. Wow, Rocket Burger did not disappoint. It was definitely better than just decent. The ingredients seemed fresh, especially the meat, and the whole thing had a very indulgent and savory flavor. Fries were on point too! Kind of an interesting place for a burger joint but next time I'm in the mood for a good burger this will be on my mind.

    Had the pleasure of redeeming two free burgers from a recent Instagram giveaway by Rocket Burger. We ordered three burgers in total. The burgers we ordered were the bulgogi burger, classic burger (meal), and the astro burger. Additionally we ordered onion rings. The burgers were made fairly fast and were pretty huge. All the burgers tasted good and filled us up.

    Whoa Korea fried chicken and a burger place all in one!!!??! Ok this used to be Vons chicken, but now they added burgers and changed the name. Crispy Bacon Onion burger was really good and filled with onion rings 8.8/10!! The fried chicken were fried really well, but I wasn't a huge fan of the flavor I chose (it was on the sweeter side), but that was my own fault 8/10. I'm definitely coming back!

    Bulgogi burger

    Rocket Burger Station is a Korean fusion burger joint located in the same plaza as Mitsuwa. It actually used to be a Vons, but they added the burgers to their menu; if you want Vons, it's still on the menu! I was doing some grocery shopping and I saw this, so I decided to give it a try. FOOD Rocket Burger Station offers both burgers and Von's Fried Chicken. However, I'm here for the fusion burger, so I ordered a Rocket Burger Meal and got the Bulgogi burger. Lots of bulgogi flavor in the burger; it's both sweet and savory. Tastes exactly just like it sounds as you are eating a bunch of bulgogi stacked inside a burger. Size-wise, it's about an average sized burger, not giant, but not too small. Big fan of the flavors in this burger and they aren't doing too much either. It's a burger, except it swapped out the burger patty with a stack of bulgogi. I've also tried their Crunch burger which was also pretty delicious, but it was quite tall so it's a bit troublesome to eat. Fries were only seasoned with salt. A bit crispy and overall nothing good or bad about them. SERVICE You can either order at the kiosk or at the counter. I did't actually see the Burger Meal option on the kiosks both times I was here, so if you want to do that, order at the counter. They will call out your order once it's ready. Self bus your table. Utensils and ketchup have their own self-serve station. Rocket Burger Station seems to be a family-owned business. Service is okay, sometimes you might have to wait a bit if you order at the counter. It took me about 5-10 minutes from ordering to get my food. COST The Rocket Burger Meal is just shy of $20 before tax and tip. It is a bit on the pricey side, but I think there's enough of a novelty here to justify the price. If the burger were bit a larger, then I think it'd be a reasonable deal. Otherwise, if you are in the mood for a Korean-style burger, the mark-up is justified. SETTING The restaurant itself isn't too large, maybe 5-10 tables. They do have some outdoor seating available as well. Great place to hang out with friends or grab a bite to eat before or after your grocery shopping. Large parking lot, since it's in Mitsuwa plaza, but it can still get quite packed, especially on weekends. If parking is a concern, I recommend going on a weekday. Overall, this is a delicious fusion burger. There's a bit of a mark-up, but I think it's not too bad. Definitely give it a try if you are ever in the area. 4/5

    Cheese Burger & Crunch Pluto Burger
    Cj L.

    We were originally trying to go to Fugetsu to get some lunch, but as we were at the intersection, this place caught my eye, so we decided to give it a try. I tried the Crunch Pluto Burger and my coworker tried the Cheeseburger. We also got a Vanilla Shake to share! Prices were a bit on the higher side, but the size of the burgers were pretty huge and the quality of ingredients looked/tasted very fresh. They had several types of korean fusion burgers -- the one I got had a croquette within the burger! It was tasty and needless to say, VERY filling.

    Crunch Pluto Burger
    Joanne N.

    I love burgers so I was excited to try this place out! They have such a wide variety of different kinds of burgers. I was especially intrigued by their asian style burgers. This place is also a Vons chicken which is the best korean chicken franchise in the area in my opinion! They have combo meals so that you can get burgers and korean fried chicken in the same meal which is nice. They have plenty of seating, clean, and the workers were friendly. I ordered the bulgogi burger, the crunch pluto burger, and the honey butter fries. The bulgogi burger was pretty good. The bulgogi was a bit tough but it had a lot of flavor and sauce. The crunch pluto burger was also pretty good but the croquette tasted like pickles which I was not a fan of. The honey butter fries are 10/10 a must try. The sweet and salty is perfection. Overall had a decent experience but it is pretty expensive and I am not sure if I would crave it.

    After hearing about this place from my ex girlfriend, I thought I check it out. Unfortunately when I got here, the disappointment came in. The price here is very outrageous. I am not paying $25 just for a wimpy korean burger because I don't have time for prices like that. It seems like a total joke to me. When I got here there was like no one sitting inside or outside the joint. That is a red flag there but I see no idea why people still like this place. I left the place without ordering anything which is upsetting. Being broke and mentally challenged this is not the place for a person like me. I won't come here again even if my therapist ordered me to. I am not even sure if this place will be here for a long time because I have many expensive restaurants leave the neighborhood

    Be ready to spend anywhere between $25-30 for a burger, fries and soda. Came to try the bulgogi burger since I've never had something like that before, but surprisingly it was just okay. Service was eh, as there was a table of "influencers" next to us so they were be taken care of at a different level. Space is cute, quaint and clean. 'Okay' experience and food.

    Nice and clean.
    Melinda R.

    This was a nice place. I came in for lunch and it was pretty quiet. There were a lot of people picking up orders. The gal in the front was really nice and provided recommendations. I got the lunch special five wings and a side of garlic fries. My bill came to about $18 with a drink. I will definitely come back again to have lunch here. It took about 10 to 15 minutes to get the food ready.

    Lovely sweet special memu I haven't ever had. Hidden Astro burger is really good. I don't know why it all of sudden changed. Bulgogi burger has fried eggs OMG, incomparable Korean style burger that I and my hubby love to eat every time. I don't know how the fries tastes so good. If I am full, I just take only french fries. I normally go to Habit my big favorite place though this is just small burger shop and have an amazing new style burger. They have new combo menu with chickens that I took with my friends. ha.. so good... Please take that menu at the store then you would feel heavenly taste with blue sky.

    Rice Cake
    May G.

    This was my first time at this location and I ordered to go. The staff were very friendly and easy to communicate to. The location is quite convenient; it's located in a big plaza, so there's a lot of parking available! The inside was quite nice as well! It was very spacious and clean :) I ordered a half order of the crispy fried chicken and the tteokbokki. I LOVE von's crispy fried chicken over their other flavors, bc it's not super overpowering, but still flavorful. The chicken was a good size and super crispy still. It was nice and juicy and well fried. Von's rice cakes are prob my favorite!! Idk what they do but it's a bit crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The sauce is sweet and spicy with a bit of tangy to it. If you havent, I'd definitely recommend their rice cakes!! I'll definitely be coming to this location more often and would recommend! :)

I've tried all their chicken options, and Hainan is still the winner for me. It pairs so well with their chicken rice and broth. My favorite sauces are definitely the Thai Ginger Soy and Sesame Teriyaki. I also like adding fried tofu once in a while. This one was super crispy on the outside and soft and airy inside. I just wish they offered peanut sauce instead of sweet chili, but it was still good! The regular box is the perfect portion for me, and the fresh ingredients and flavors are exactly why I keep coming back. Their chicken wings, on the other hand, were kinda meh. I got them during a DoorDash promo, so it was still a good deal, but as a big fan of fried bone-in chicken, these didn't really wow me. The batter was super thin and didn't feel fully coated or crispy enough. The meat texture was also a little off, I'm guessing the wings might have been boiled before frying, but I could be wrong. Either way, I'll stick with my regular Hainan box from now on. Still my go-to whenever I'm craving chicken and rice!

This place blew my expectations away with their simple but clean establishment, delicious not greasy and fresh food, and very nice staff who literally welcome you as you step in. The staff asked us if it was our first visit and took the time pleasantly to explain what their levels of spicy equated to, which was helpful because my colleagues had a change of mind after sampling the "Hot" version. The place was easy to find, and parking was a non-issue so a win/win there. Give it a try!

The portions are serious, the chicken is juicy, and the breading has a great crunch. What really sets them apart for me is the spice. I've had levels 3, 4, and 5, and they're not simply the same seasoning with progressively more heat. Each level actually has a different pepper profile and flavor. Level 3 brings cayenne and Thai chili, level 4 moves into Thai chili and habanero, and level 5 adds habanero and ghost pepper. You can taste the difference, not just feel more burn. The seasoned fries are great too and they definitely don't skimp on the portions. It is a little pricey for a chicken sandwich and fries, but when you see the size and quality of what you're getting, I think it's worth it. Scratch is easily one of my favorite hot chicken spots.

Their medium packs a small punch unlike similar spots which are overly mild. Second, the fries and sauce here are amazing!!! The thick crinkle cut fries are not my favorite style usually, but here they make em so crispy with a soft pillowy center. Also so well-seasoned. I also like the seasoning on the hot chicken- it's less salty than most places and more of a real chili pepper flavor to it. Now for what wasn't my favorite: the chicken was a tad bit on the dryer side and the batter was an in-between of crispy and stale. The loaded mac came with both fries and mac n cheese. The mac itself was a bit bland, but everything out together was not bad. They had what seemed like no AC or proper ventilation when we went and it was so warm! Had us sweating by the end of the meal from both the spice and the heat. Workers were bare minimum of taking your order, and it took around 10 min for everything to come out. Overall: 3.6/5
