Between 2 Buns Burgers

Saw this place on social media and thought it was worth a try. I kept putting off trying this place, because of the neighborhood that it was in. However, it had a Friday to Sunday happy hour lunch special, so we went. It was pretty amazing. We ordered: Single combo ($18.50) - came with a single smash burger, fries and a drink. I looked at the menu after the fact, it was the price of the burger and fries so the happy hour special essentially gives you a free drink. Double combo ($22.00) - it had two very tasty smashed patties. Like the single, it had pickles, lettuce, tomatoes and an awesome sauce. Also came with fries and a drink. Hamburger ($10.50) - Had all the dressings and a crispy smashed burger patty. Onion Rings ($8.00) - it was one of the better onion rings I have had. The restaurant was clean and there was a free arcade game to play while you wait for your food. Service was excellent, very attentive and helpful. I would want to come back to try other stuff.

I don’t go to Chinatown very often these days, and it has really changed a lot from the Chinatown I knew back in the ’90s. Recently, I revisited and tried two spots—a burger shop and an ice cream place. Both really hit the spot! The food was tasty and satisfying. The burger place is definitely one of my top five favorites in Vancouver.

Stumbled upon this hidden gem in Chinatown and I’m so glad I did! The bacon cheeseburger was delicious—juicy, flavorful, and hit the spot. It paired perfectly with the onion rings and fries. If you’re going, I highly recommend trying the dirty fries or dirty waffle fries—they’re loaded with burger sauce, jalapeños, and bacon. So good! Definitely a spot worth checking out if you’re craving a solid burger.

between 2 buns is an absolute INSTITUTION and a must-try in vancouver — they have the BEST smash burgers by far. the staff was super friendly and kind, the atmosphere was really cool (they even had an arcade machine), and every single dish was done so well , you can really feel the effort and care that they put into everything. i got a bacon cheeser with an egg and it was saucy, juicy, and just PHENOMENAL. the patty was meaty and smashed to a thin CRISP, the bacon was smoky and chewy, the cheese was salty, and the tangy sauce was absolutely ADDICTING — i would drown in the b2b sauce if i could. i drenched the burger in the sauce, and the cold creaminess coating the heavy flavour of all the ingredients was absolutely divine. the bun was also super soft and the smooth, golden egg yolk was perfectly done — not dripping all over the place, but also not overcooked. it is a super messy burger to eat, but in the best way possible. the sides were SOOOO impeccable as well. we got the dirty waffle fries and the dirty onion rings, and they were both so good. the crunchy jalapeños added a slightly spicy kick, and ONCE AGAIN THE B2B SAUCE IS INSANE. the waffle fries were super crispy and had this really nice paprika-ish salty seasoning that was so delicious. the onion rings had this crazy thick, crunchy, crispy coating, and the onion inside was hot and fragrant. we also tried the cookies and cream dank ice cream sammie, which is basically some ice cream sandwiched between two pop tarts. the ice cream in the middle was super stretchy and not too sweet, which i appreciate because otherwise it would’ve been super sickening. the outside cookie/pop tart was also great, as it was crumbly and chewy, with a nice oreo flavour. overall it was super yummy and a great way to cap off the meal !

This place ruined all other burgers for me cause nothing I’ve had up to this point in life was anywhere near as good as their bacon cheeser. Their smash patty had crispy edges and was soo flavourful, balanced so well with the cheese and pickles. Still managed to be a juicy burger despite being flat.(How?) Their dirty fries were loaded and I loved the sauce!! On the pricier side as they don’t have any combos, so the burger was about $16 and dirty fries were another $10. We went with high expectations and were not disappointed. Would make the trek out to Chinatown just to visit again.

Excellent burgers and waffle fries. I like to keep it simple with a regular cheeseburger and it tastes amazing. These are "smashed" patties which makes them crispy on the edges. They also taste great reheated the next day so don't be shy to grab some extra burgers.

This is a juicy burger joint located on the fringe of Chinatown. Dress accordingly to be prepared to be engulfed in burger meat aromas and deep fried oils. Service is first come first serve. You line up and order at the counter before getting seated. The smash burger patties are thin so suggest getting a double patty if you want more substance. I had the cheese burger with side of onion rings and it was tasty! Various caned / bottled beers and soft drinks available.

Actual burger was the size of a small big mac patty shockingly & patty wasn't caramelized like their photo. For $25-30 for a meal it's definitely not worth it and a rip off especially if you know how to make a basic smash burger at home this is mediocre I gotta be honest Dirty fries were decent but the burger should have been the highlight Place was pretty empty when we came in no line up and maybe 4-5 people inside and they forgot our drinks? Also said no ice and they still put ice.... Not sure what the deal is but Im pretty sad as I had high hopes for this place. What a let down 😓
