Alvin Cailan’s Chinatown burger stand turns butcher-shop beef into deeply savory, smash-focused burgers with Filipino-American swagger. The patties are aggressively caramelized, the sauces punchy, and fries are a quiet co-star, making this a go-to for evening burger runs in the plaza.
Must-Try Dishes:
Beef-Tallow Fries, Slim Thicc Burger, Truffle Fries
What makes it special: Beef-tallow frying gives the fries a rare, old-school depth.
