Pullinamite is a craft burger restaurant on Hongik-ro in Mapo-gu, Seoul, known for serving what may be the thickest burgers in the Hongdae area. The restaurant occupies a converted house tucked deep in a residential alley, giving it a distinctive facade that can be tricky to locate on a first visit but adds to its character once found. The defining element is the patty - hefty, juicy, and built to deliver a burst of flavor with every bite. The buns are soft and moist enough to hold together even under the weight of generous toppings and house-made sauces. The Rush Cheese Burger requires a firm squeeze to fit into a single bite, while the Double Chicken Burger is effectively too tall to attempt in one go. The Hot Double Chicken Burger layers two spicy chicken patties for a seriously substantial meal, and the Rose Burger features a rich rose sauce with an unusual side of potato chips soaked in the same sauce - a combination that works far better than it sounds. Seasonal limited offerings such as the Cream Pepper Burger appear intermittently. The buffalo wings make a strong side order, and a small portion of fries accompanies them, adding unexpected value. Draft beer is well maintained and shakes are sweet and creamy, both pairing naturally with the burgers. Some menu items incorporate mushroom flavors that complement the patty with an earthy depth. On pleasant days, an outdoor yard provides an al fresco dining option. Despite the proliferation of craft burger spots across Hongdae, Pullinamite consistently ranks among the most memorable for visitors who have tried multiple options in the neighborhood.
