Reviews
The burger features two beef patties, ground and grilled to a juicy, well-seasoned finish, offering a rich umami base with a slight char that enhances each bite. The flavor profile is bold yet balanced the heat from the mala glaze harmonizes with the savoriness of the beef, while the pickles and herbs provide refreshing relief. Overall, the taste is layered and vibrant, with the smokiness of the charred cabbage and nuttiness of the peanuts rounding out each mouthful.
Instead of the typical lettuce or slaw, the burger includes charred cabbage, a thoughtful choice both texturally and historically. Cabbage is often used in chinese stir-fries and preserved dishes, but when charred, it develops a smoky depth and slight caramelization, adding a complex layer to the burger.
The inclusion of peanuts is a nod to classic sichuan dishes like kung pao chicken, which often feature toasted peanuts for added texture and nutty contrast. These peanuts lend crunch and an earthy richness, offsetting the meat’s tender bite.
Freshness comes from the cilantro-scallion mix, two herbs widely used in chinese and southeast asian cuisines for their bright, aromatic qualities. They help cut through the richness and balance the spice.
The most distinctive component here is the mustard mala glaze a clever innovation combining classic mustard with mala, the signature mouth-tingling spice profile of sichuan peppercorns (known as hua jiao), often paired with chilis in traditional dishes like mapo tofu and hot pot. This glaze introduces not just heat, but a subtle numbing effect, making the burger both exciting and memorable.
The pickles add acidity and crunch, grounding the more adventurous flavors with a nod to american burger tradition. Paired with house-seasoned fries, which are crispy, nicely salted, and lightly dusted with a savory spice blend, the meal feels both innovative and comforting.
There are several other items on the menu that caught my eye, and I’ll definitely be back to explore more. It’s a thoughtful interpretation of cross-cultural cooking, honoring both american burger culture and the bold, sensory-forward traditions of sichuan cuisine.
Fried chicken sandwich in Brooklyn worth noting.
Tried and true, consistent, super tasty and fresh.
If you have never had it before, i recommend pulling up with a friend- get a pops burger, chicken sandwich and the animal style fries! Try them and see for yourself. (The dusty dog is also very good in case you were wondering)
The chicken is crispy, saucy, flavorful. The batter on the chicken has a nice array of spices on it as well. The cilantro is a perfect touch. The fries could use some improvement.
