K.O. Burger

"A place in New York offering traditional smash burgers." - Jaya Saxena

"Your Order: A single patty Knockout Burger ($7), K.O. cheese fries ($6), side of honey mustard ($1), side of jalapeño ranch ($1).  K.O. is a takeout window under the Manhattan Bridge in Chinatown that goes light on its boxing theme, and heavy on its special sauce. The sauce has pickled jalapeños, which make it actually taste a little bit different than all the other vaguely pink special sauces out there. Besides plenty of sauce, the classic Knockout Burger comes with american cheese, onions, mustard, and pickles on a soft potato bun. Eat it alongside their crinkle-cut cheese fries, topped with chipotle mayo and fried onions. " - willa moore, neha talreja, will hartman, bryan kim

"K.O. is one among a raft of new Chinatown burger joints — this one a takeout window in a bright yellow storefront, with a few standing tables out front. The logo is a boxer with a burger for a head, and the burgers have names like Knockout and Meaty Boy. Depending on the season, it’s a fun, quick-service place to eat a burger (the fries are good, too)." - Robert Sietsema, Eater Staff

"New York City has yet another new smashburger. Chinatown’s bright red-and-yellow KO Burger is boxing-themed. It burger menu is the “Main Event,” while the Double Jab Chocolate Cookie lives in the “Throw in the Towel” section. We checked out K.O. Burger. Read our first thoughts here." - Will Hartman, Willa Moore

"We’ve always thought that cheese fries could use an upgrade, and were never sure if anybody else felt the same way. But then we found K.O. Burger, a takeout window in Chinatown, which smothers its cheese fries in slightly spicy chipotle mayo and crispy onions—and we knew we weren't alone. This lightly boxing-themed smashburger spot does a single-patty Knockout Burger for $7 (double for $9), which comes on a squishy potato bun, with american cheese, onions, mustard, pickles, and a punchy special sauce with pickled jalapeños. The priciest burgers are $13, and they’re all saucy enough to not need additional condiments. But with eight total sauces on the menu, you might as well sample the jalapeño ranch or honey mustard with some crinkle cut fries. " - Willa Moore
