Amazing!!! In a small corner in Tokyo is a truly authentic American burger joint. Don’t forget the onion rings!

Unbelievable. The burgers at this place are without a doubt the best I’ve ever had. Each one is perfectly assembled with outstanding ingredients. I had a Chili Cheeseburger with jalapeños. It was so good, I ended up ordering a 2nd one. I really can’t say enough about how awesome this burger was. My mind was totally blown. So good.

Great burger. Simple but creative and damn good. Had the broccoli cheeseburger. Will be back soon.

Definitely above average, in a word, I’ll say. It’s just that Tokyo recently has many«above-average» hamburger places, so I no longer feel too enthusiastic about burgers at this level, but it’s good and we actually don’t really have any other good burger places in this area(as far as I’m aware), so it’s useful in that sense. Their fries are good as well. The portion isn’t that exciting(average) and I’d like it much better if it comes with a drink, though. The good news is that this place doesn’t seem to get too crowded as it’s not really located in a convenient/shopping-friendly area. I guess it would make sense if your work place is close from here or you just happen to like hanging out in this area(Akasaka). Maybe I’m too understating this place, so please go check it out yourself. If you are a burger person, you’d definitely like it anyway.

Tried the new Red Hot Garlic Burger. Honestly the best burger I’ve had in a while. Fairly small, but hip space and thankfully a smoking free environment.

My wife and I are burger people and have tried all of the burger places in the immediate area and quite a few across Tokyo. Authentic is the best burger in tokyo we’ve found so far.

Thank you, Unilocalers, for the great reviews that convinced me to check it out. I can’t say it was the best burger ever because honestly, I didn’t have a previous best burger that I could think of to compare this one to. But I got the broccoli cheeseburger, and it did anything but disappoint. It was big, loaded, and sloppy. I chowed down while a Sublime album played in the background. The fries are average at best, but the burger is amazing. Definitely go!

Unilocalers say«best burger ever» — went there — I say«Best burger I’ve ever had. Ever.» Had the Brokkoli Cheese Burger and it was awesome. Also, cool beers and nice music selection. Verdict: Must Try!!!

I’m an American and have eaten burgers throughout my home country and have had both decent and horrendous imitations of the American burger in foreign lands. I would say authentic is not only the best burger I’ve eaten in Japan, but the best burger I’ve eaten ANYWHERE. It sounds a bit odd, but I am a huge fan of the broccoli cheeseburger. Something about that sauce is just incredibly good when combined with a perfect bun and fresh lettuce, tomato and broccoli. The service is good, but I would love to see a little flexibility in the ability to order as you like. Try ordering a double patty on a broccoli cheeseburger and you may be asked to leave! :-) Jokes aside, Authentic will not let you down whether it’s your first burger or 10,000th!

I am American first off, so I’ve had burgers from LA to Chicago to NYC and this seriously is the best burger I’ve ever had. Perhaps I’ve been intaking too much Asian food and I needed a western taste, but this burger was literally exactly what I needed. I put avocado on the egg cheeseburger and it was just perfect. The meat is thinner than your usual American gourmet burgers but I like it better like that. I’m going back today and I was just there yesterday…

Without a doubt, truly Authentic! If you want a great burger made the right way, big and sloppy with the best ingredients then Authentic is where you need to go. Authentic has been around for about seven years now. The owner use to work at another hamburger restaurant and wanted to create a place of his own and opened Authentic. I think he exceeded where others have failed. The environment is cozy and friendly, the food is what you want and the staff is great. Do yourself a favor and stop by this place, you will love it!

Keep it simple and make it flavorful. This is Authentic Burger. This is my neighborhood burger restaurant. Thick and Juicy burgers with great simple traditional toppings and some Japanese and international toppings provide variety when making choices. I stop here after a stressful day at work and the burgers here are great comfort food. Burgers are thick so I never go away hungry. The French fries are good and go well with the burgers by the portion of fries is very generous. And I like the instruction card that explains how to eat their delicious burgers. The menu is in English and the staff and chef speak English. Highly recommend bypassing the fast food burger joints and eat at Authentic Burger.

The burgers here are not the cheapest by any means. I can say however that they are one of the best burgers I have ever had anywhere. The atmosphere is small and welcoming and they have both English and Japanese menus so it is tourist friendly. I had the egg burger and it was simply amazing. You can’t go wrong eating here!
