Burger Joys

This is an amazingly flavorful juicy/​greasy patty style burger. Really freaking good. Although the fresh veggies slices and special sauce we good additions, this is the type of patty that can be eaten with just cheese and the bun.
It’s not the thin patty style like Caliburger or Burger Circus, or meant to be a big thick burger like Blue Butcher, Butcher Club, Beef and Liberty, etc, but somewhere in between.
Although my friend questioned the bun’s ability to hold the Signature Double Cheeseburger (which was spilling a mixture of melted cheese, juicy from the patty and special sauce into the wrapper) because it was so light and soft, it withheld the challenge even after the half wrapped, in which the burger was presented, was removed for the 2^nd half.
I rarely order double burgers, but the pictures looked too good not to this time. Sometimes when patties are of the thinner nature, you need to order the double just to get enough meat to really taste it against the veggies and bun. This was not the case here though, I feel quite confident that a single burger would still allow full potential burger taste due to the juiciness that would escape into the fluffy bun and begin to usurp the fresh veggies.
Only issue I can think of is that the tables are too small for two people’s meals and drinks. But that’s it and I can live with that for now :)

The Hong Kong burger movement is now firmly in its full throes, and I for one couldn’t be happier.
As a Westerner with a penchant for high-​quality cheeseburgers, you can’t fault me for canvassing HK for one of these meaty delights when the time is right. When is it the right time, exactly? After you’ve had a long night imbibing, or you’ve gone a month sans red meat. Or, when you hear the silent-​but-​strong siren call of a good ol’ American cheeseburger.
The right time was number #3 of the aforementioned for me, when I took Kathleen S’ review to-​heart in search of HK’s next greatest cheeseburger. Burger Joys looked especially inviting on an early evening with its signs luring customers in with happy hour specials on adult beverages. You don’t have to tell me twice! I sat down and ordered the signature double cheeseburger and a half-​off Big Wave Golden Ale (crafted by Hawaii’s Kona Brewing Co).
Next came burger nirvana! Many things came to mind as I initially took a bite of this burger — namely, it’s massive and I should have ordered the single — but at the forefront was that it tastes similar to In-N-Out’s iconic animal-​style offering. Juicy, well-​seasoned beed, with ripe and colorful lettuce and onions, perfectly-​melted cheese, just enough of their Thousand Island-​based sauce, all expertly wrapped for minimum messiness and held together by a super soft bun.
It was glorious.
And perhaps the best (and worst) part about Burger Joys? They’re open 24 hours, which means you’ll never have to go to bed again before killing that burger craving. Happy happy, joy joy.

Finally. Hong Kong is now capable of meeting my late-​night drunken food cravings.
One of my favorite things about going out in Los Angeles was getting a little bit of a buzz on and then stopping by In-​N-​Out burger to inhale animal-​style everything. The joy and fatness that I relished in during those late-​night food runs in Hollywood left my heart (and my stomach) feeling empty when I moved to Hong Kong. I missed In-​N-​Out so hard. Until now.
I was having a late night of drinking in Central with a friend of mine, and because we stupidly had little/​no food to eat for dinner, we were starving by the end of the night. She told me about this 24-​hour burger place that opened a couple of weeks ago and said it was in Wan Chai. I was like «mehhhh Wan Chai? surely we can find something open at 3:30 a.m. in Central.» But nope. Nothing open, unless you’re in the mood for a greasy kebab (I wasn’t). So off we went into a taxi over to Wan Chai to check out Burger Joys.
The vibe is great — nice hip hop soundtrack playing in the background and red-​tinted lighting inside (to go along with the red-​light-​district vibe of Wan Chai perhaps?). There is also a full selection of beer and liquor in case you’re not yet ready to stop partying. I wasn’t, so I got a cookies & cream milkshake with Jack Daniels added to it. Delicious. We then ordered some burgers, which came on a really nice pillow-​soft bun and wrapped in paper — much like what you’d get at In-​N-​Out. Except here, you have the option to add bacon, fried egg, bleu cheese (I added all 3 of these) — not to mention a whole host of other add-​ons. We topped off the meal with an order of fries and an order of tater tots (yes — tater tots!), which i asked to add cheddar cheese to (they happily obliged). I was in drunk-​munchies heaven. We also had a few chicken wings, which were doused in a nicely spiced wing sauce and served with a pretty standard bleu cheese dressing.
I really liked having all these options at a burger joint, which is why I actually like this spot better than In-​N-​Out. Freshness and happiness that you can taste. A+
