[NEWS] BIGBANG'S FAVORITE RESTAURANT


As K-pop stars are very popular in Japan now, fans are curious where they eat and what their favorite restaurants are.

Big Bang often appears in places in Gangbuk area like Hongdae (Hongik University) and Itaewon. Where they eat:

Popular burger joint Smokey Saloon is re-categorizing burgers in Seoul from fast food to luxury cuisine.

Each burger is handmade with chuck steak and served with fresh lettuce, bacon, cheese, hash brown, fried eggs depending on your choice of menu. Their "Ambulance", a thick hamburger with cheese is really popular.

They take a while to cook and serve, so don’t expect the usual quick service like other restaurants in Seoul.
