Always a tasty burger and fries. Today I ordered the Truffle Burger and added lettuce, with a side of fries and can of Sprite. They offered sauces and gladly shared some good BBQ sauce to dip the fries, and a few pickles to sample. Quick and affordable, Konjoe Burger has always been a good spot. Plus, solid service.
Next time, we will try the namesake burger that everyone around us seemed to be having. On our first try, we ordered the fried chicken and pork belly.
Fried chicken sandwich was average, could be better fried and prepped. The crust was too thick, which led to pockets of gumminess. All you could taste was spiciness (hot), but no spice to give flavor. The chicken thigh wasn't sliced or pounded to even thickness so it was super thick in the middle, like a roll. You have to grip the sandwich carefully, or the chicken just pops right out.
Pork belly was gray and unappetizing, looked like it had been boiled plain. It did not have any flavor or marinade. They drowned it in sauce, but it did not mask the piggy warmed over flavor. And this is just me, but a third of meat and more than half pure fat is not my ideal.
We do like that items do not come with fries. We love a well fried potato(or anything, really), but are not fans of paying for 'mandatory' fries that we don't need/want.
Minor detail: The buzzer says Grains &Greens (salad bar next door), they are sharing or recycling buzzers.
