Cry Cheeseburger Simgok 크라이치즈버거 심곡점

Cry Cheeseburger Simgok is the original location of a craft-burger franchise born in Bucheon that has since expanded across Seoul and the greater metropolitan area. Often called Korea's answer to In-N-Out Burger, the shop has maintained the same flavor for over thirteen years, earning a loyal base of regulars who attest to its consistency. The menu is deliberately simple, regular, cheese, and double, but customization options (raw vs. grilled onion, extra patty, extra cheese) let diners build their preferred combination. Grilled onion adds a soft sweetness that pairs naturally with the Thousand Island sauce, and the patty itself is low in salt, keeping the overall flavor clean while relying on the sauce and onion to prevent blandness. For a more direct meat experience, ordering a regular burger with an extra patty and seasoning it from the provided salt and pepper is a popular move. Fries are cut from whole potatoes on-site and fried thin, resulting in a crisp, light texture that fans of slim-cut fries consistently praise. The double cheeseburger set comes in under 10,000 won, a clear price advantage in Korea's craft-burger landscape. Drinks are self-serve from a dispenser with free refills, and a DIY ade station adds further flexibility. The flagship shop seats roughly ten people in a compact space, which surprises anyone who visited a larger Seoul branch first, and waits are standard on weekends and at meal times. Groups of three or more may find the seating cramped. The owner greets guests with genuine warmth, and the staff maintain a friendly, efficient tone throughout service. There is no dedicated parking lot nearby, drivers typically find space near Bucheon University, so planning for that is necessary. Seoul branches carry milkshakes, but the original location does not, which is a detail to note before visiting.
