8.3
A butcher-counter burger stand that treats the patty like the main event—deeply beefy, properly smashed, and finished with restrained, high-impact toppings. The menu keeps focus on a few burgers done extremely well, with fries that match the beef’s intensity. It’s pricier than most Chinatown options, but the technique and sourcing show.
Must-Try Dishes:
Classic Double with Cheese, DH Patty Classic Style Burger, Truffle Fries
