The Best Burger Joints In Tokyo
Tokyo is the world’s most populous metropolitan area and a vibrant, kaleidoscopic mecca of history, culture, and, of course, some of the best cuisine in the world. The city boasts a large number of authentic restaurants serving top-notch Asian dishes and tasty international fare. If you’re in the mood for a delicious burger when in the heart of Japan, you’ve come to the right place, as Tokyo is also home to an array of top fast food joints serving mouthwatering versions of the American classic – here are some of the best.
1. Arms
Restaurant, American
Very unassuming, Arms Burger is a classic American-style burger hangout that sits unassumingly behind Yoyogi Park, just a few steps away from Tokyo’s favourite take-away coffee joint Little Nap. Cosy, laid-back and very family-friendly, this place really chooses substance over style, which is where it finds its timeless, rustic charm. Unlike newer American-style burger restaurants, Arms is all about serving up the comfort classics without the flash. A local cult favourite, this place gets pretty busy on the weekends, but during the week it’s easy to nab a sunny spot by the floor-to-ceiling open windows.

4. Baker Bounce
Restaurant, American
One that you’ve really got to work for is Baker Bounce, a popular well-trafficked haunt hidden in the weaving, ramshackle backstreets of Sangenjaya. The faux American vibe can be a little cheesy, but there’s not a single bad word to say about their burgers. A little pricier than some of their contemporaries, it’s definitely a ‘you get what you pay for’ situation. In order to ensure they serve their guests the very, very best, Baker Bounce offers a very relaxed and open ‘request’ policy, so you can specify exactly how you want your toppings.
5. Authentic
Restaurant, American
If you’re going to call yourself ‘Authentic’, then you had better be pretty darn confident in your burger-making abilities, and luckily this Minato burger staple lives up to their own created hype. If you’re looking to mix highbrow and lowbrow charm, Authentic’s patties are 80% red meat and 20% prized, fatty wagyu beef, offering the best of both worlds. If you’re looking for super old-school classics, though, it’s probably best to look elsewhere; this joint’s most famous show-burger is a broccoli cheese combination.
6. Burger Mania
Restaurant, American
7. Freshness Burger Tomigaya
Restaurant, American
