| - Have walked by Dac Biet Burger a bunch of times and its always caught my eye, having such a unique twist on burgers, that I decided to come here for lunch on a recent Friday.
Walking into Dac Biet Burger, my coworker and I were greeted by the friendly person behind the counter, and asked if it was our first time there. He walked us through the menu and the popular items, and answered any questions we had.
I ordered the banh mi burger (8oz), and a side of kimchi fries.
The banh mi burger was solid. Two big lemongrass pork patties, pickled daikon and carrots, and cucumber, cilantro, and mayo. Taking a bite felt gave me an immediate sense that I was actually eating a banh mi, which the lemongrass pork patties and pickled daikon and carrots really drove home.
The kimchi fries, however, I wasn't completely in love with. There was a decent amount of fries, with the kimchi, pulled pork, and other fixins on top, but it felt like a relatively small amount of fixins, leaving mostly fries, and I even had a few fries that may not have been cooked all the way through.
Overall, a really solid meal at Dac Biet. You get a well made, freshly ground burger, as well as a few interesting choices of sides. However, I found the sides to be on the pricy side, with the kimchi fries clocking in at $5.50, and other options about the same price. Thankfully, the burger is relatively large enough for a satisfying lunch, and it's a unique twist on burgers, so the price for the burgers is reasonable.
I'd definitely go back to try the other burgers (next on my list is the pho burger) but I'd probably just stick to the burgers next time.
