BRISKSTAND ASAKUSA

The Good: Let’s start with the positives. Briskstand Asakusa was on Oli’s must-eat list for our trip, and it didn’t disappoint. Tucked down a little laneway, it’s quite unassuming from the outside, but clearly popular — there was a small wait across the laneway before getting in. Once seated, everything ran smoothly, with air conditioning on point and staff getting us settled quickly. The Standout: The burgers. Easily some of the best we had. The soft potato bun — which almost felt lightly steamed — was the real hero: fluffy, delicate, and the perfect match for a juicy burger. The fries were chunky and crisp, more wedge-style than shoestring, and super satisfying. The Room for Improvement: The wait can be a little awkward since it spills into the laneway, but it moves quickly and is well worth it. Would I Return? Absolutely. I’d happily line up again just for that bun alone. The Verdict: In conclusion, Briskstand Asakusa is a hidden gem for burger lovers in Tokyo. Simple, done exceptionally well, and absolutely worth seeking out if you’re in the area.

Stumbled across this unpretentious burger restaurant in Asakusa near our hotel. We had seen lines previously but it was late afternoon and there were no lines. Nice cafe vibe and the smells from the kitchen were enticing us in. Has the double cheeseburger which was excellent. Great char and perfectly seasoned. Please don’t add any sauce and savour the beefy goodness. The thick cut potato ?cubes/chips were also good but the portion was kind of small with each burger. Overall excellent burger!

The burger is nice! I really like the caramelized mushrooms and onion, it compliments well with the burger. The patty was really giving juicy beef! The cut one was nice with the charred cut side, i liked the charred bit. And the potato was really nice. Not as crispy as when I came the last time, but still very nice!

The delicious aroma of hamburgers beckoned us in every time we passed the little restaurant. We just had to have lunch before we left Japan. Honestly one of the tasties home made burger patties I've tasted. The service was excellent and the staff friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was very pleasant with Country music playing not too loud in the background. Ideal for small or big groups. Received yummy Japanese ice-cream as a dessert gift after🙂 Arigato I will definitely come back 🫶🏻

Very delicious, freshly grilled burger. We both got the cheeseburger with some salad and potato pieces, it was a solid and tasty lunch! The star of the show is the burger bun though. A fresh, toasted, whole grain bun that fits the burger, cheese and caramelized unions so well. Definitely recommend 🙏

Rate it or hate it; RATE IT. The cut in half burger was phenomenal. Full of flavour and very unique as a way of eating burgers. The service was a little slow and clunky. Communication as a tourist difficult. But they were helpful once we got across it all at the end.

This burger was UNREAL. Definitely in my top 3 best burgers in my life. So crispy, juicy, and flavorful. The umami was insane. Don’t miss this spot. We did make a reservation which was helpful but there’s decent seating!

Delicious burger. Juicy patties and the side of fries was super crispy. Gotta put your own ketchup and mustard in as you like. Gotta be mindful of the promotion offers, you gotta order exactly what is shown as the offer is only as exactly shown.
