Let's Burger

A standout among Beijing’s burgeoning burger joints, Let’s Burger serves a wide range of variations on this American classic. Options range from the humble hamburger (RMB 48) or cheeseburger (RMB 58) up to the Let’s classic burger (RMB 148), which decorates the patty with bacon and a slice of foie gras and the indulgent Wagyu burger. Salads, appetizers and desserts round out the menu and the fries alone could constitute a meal (five types, around RMB 20-25) – try them with the 12 sauces on offer, especially the blue cheese sauce, wasabi mayonnaise and tangy barbecue relish. Voted “Best Burger” in the Beijinger’s 2010 Reader Restaurant Awards.

Review of Let's Burger

I have never written a review on here, but I had to put this up. Went to Let's on a Sunday night and ordered a danish cheese and cranberry sauce burger while my partner ordered the 3 mini burgers. We also got the cheese and gravy fries, reminescing about poutine back home. First off the fries were disapointing. I don't know how people rave about oversized, tastless gobs of potato; I've always prefered slim and crisp. The gravy was so so, and the cheese was barely there. Poutine dreams over. Next my burger came, and it was OK. Nothing to write home about. The proportions are a bit off for a good burger (too much meat) and the cranberry sauce tasted like cheap canned stuff (I know this is Beijing but if you call yourself a gourmet burger place...). The cheese was pretty lousy as well. In it's defence the beef was of good quality, and the bun was awesome. Veggies pretty good too.

The worst was to come. We didn't linger around, and 10 minutes after leaving, I felt sharp pains in my stomach. 20 minutes later I was in the bathroom; dinner no longer in my stomach. I haven't got such a quick, strong reaction in a long time, and I have a pretty tough stomach. We still had 2 mini burgers that we had packed, but tossed them out in the garbage.

Best burger in Beijing so far for me is at All Stars (the Steakhouse). The beef is great, perfect proportions, and all the sauces and toppings and bread are in perfect harmony. Their Blue Cheese burger is wonderful as well. The Blue Frog burgers are OK, but also a bit overrated. Expats living in Beijing, stop rating chain restaurants like Element Fresh and Blue Frog as top winners here; they are nowhere close to it.

With all the new burger places popping up around the city, this one is one of the best. Since changing their policy and offering table service for ordering, I've become a regular. Organic ingredients and imported meat (they name the farm they get it from on the menu) help to insure a better burger. They have a ton of options, but its best to keep it simple with a hamburger or cheeseburger. If you don't want beef, their chicken sandwich is large and very tasty. The fries are some of the best in the city, made even better by a large selection of dipping sauces.

Condiments galore

There are at least two dozen squeeze bottles of condiments waiting to be devoured with your fries or burgers. This is the burger joint's equivalent of a salsa bar at a TexMex restaurant.

Service is hit or miss outside, but quite responsive inside. As another reviewer mentioned, the wait for seats can be quite long, especially for dinner.

I'd love to, but don't think I'll ever spring for the kobe beef burger (somewhere in the 150/200RMB range, I believe).

Its worth the wait!

Let's Burger is constantly full and I usually wait around for some time before i get seats, but the best seats in the house are right at the chef's counter where they cook! The scrumptious beef turned a non-beef-eater me into a let's burger fan, that says something doesnt it! They serve healthy proportions of salad, chips etc (not to mention that they are supper yummy!) and the sauce adds a sizzle to their already satisfactorily extensive menu, definitely the best burger in beijing and will be a loyal fan of them as long as standards are kept up. Two thumbs up!

The biggest BURGER i ever try in BEIJING .. Amazing Burger also so welcoming friendly restaurant

Want to try a $10 burger?

Review of Let's Burger

That's a pretty good burger. I don't know if it's worth ten dollars but it's pretty good.

Not doubt, one of the best burgers in town. But as soon as you get some toppings and a beer, you are looking at a RMB 100 bill. I can get a great tenderloin with a salad and a side for lunch at CJW for less.

A Good Burger Joint in Beijing

Review of Let's Burger

Was a bit hesitant to try this place after seeing some unfavorable reviews, but have to say my partner and I were pleased with Let's Burger.

Both our burgers were giant and tasty, certainly one of the better I've ever had in China. The fries were also quite good, though I had expected the "sauce bar" to be more of a real bar and not just a little table with squeeze bottles of sauces. The sauces were good anyway though (though 80% were some kind of mayonnaise). The decor is nice as well, lending a nice ambiance. Drinks, however, were overpriced. No Tsingtao available, so the beers start at 35 yuan, and even a Coke is 18 RMB.

Regardless, we came away from Let's Burger full and happy with our meal. Would definitely return again.

Most overrated restaurant in town

The rave reviews and constantly full tables at Let's Burger just reinforce for me that people in Beijing have no taste -- how else could Annie's win awards year after year?

First of all, why do we have to order at the counter when there are so many staff? More importantly, Let's Burger doesn't do much beyond burgers -- so why can't they be cooked to order? What is the point of a burger joint if you can't tell them how you want the burger cooked?

Beyond all this, the burgers just aren't that good, and for being not cooked to order and not very good, they are overpriced. Any burger on the Blue Frog menu is better than what's on offer here. Union Bar & Grille's cheeseburger is also better, and for almost the same price. Fans of this place like that it's open late and that the fries are good, but so what? Tried it twice, was not impressed either time, haven't been back. I like Let's Seafood and that almost makes me one to give Burger a third chance, but that's unlikely.

Yummo!

Came here last weekend, had the Mexicano burger and Spicy Fries.
The burger was quite massive for me but it was really good.
On the other hand, the supposedly spicy fries is not spicy at all!
Love the sauce bar although I wish they have something more spicy as none of the sauce are.
Nice decor & atmosphere. Will comeback again.

awful milkshake...

The first time I went there I ordered a burger and a coke..and it was so so...
The second time I went there in the afternoon just to spend sometime I ordered a milkshake...and it was totally a sh*t...
NO third time...

Gotta pass on this one

Had dinner there last Friday night and I must say Lett's is simply not worth it. I have dined there several times in the past year and the quality has been steadily slipping. Last night the burger was quite poor. Improperly cooked, meaningfully smaller than usual and the quality of the ground beef was pretty bad: gristle and bone chips throughout. I was interested to notice that one of the women at the table next to mine found a clump of hair in her salad. Waitstaff promptly took it away and offered a replacement, but come on folks.. what is up with kitchen hygiene and work practice? You are not a kebab stand; to the contrary you charge an high price for what is supposed to be high quality. High price yes, quality not. Witnessing the salad fiasco and the bits and pieces inside my overcooked burger is enough to make me not return and to make sure to share the experience here.

Expensive burgers

While I have enjoyed burgers as a anytime meal option and each time
I thought I could be fine even it was just fine,this place was disappointing.Mine was the chicken burger and my friend had ordered a prawn burger.There was too much cheese and the cheese wasnt likable ,I just didnt like it.

The sauces were good, the bread was fresh ,but the burger wasnt done well.
My friends burger somehow was done well,not mine. I just ate up my burger with the different sauces available and finished my meal.

The decor is good,the people at the place fine, I find it expensive by any standards.

Inspite of a more pricier, this restaurant serves the best burgers in town. Must visit.

Their veggie burger was a let down

Review of Let's Burger

As a life-long vegetarian I've had my fair share of veggie burgers, but, living in Beijing, not for a while. So I was pleased to find out that they offer one here. Unfortunately I would say that if you are veggie stick with the fries and/or the salads. The presentation was nice but the burger itself was tasteless, mushy and fell apart as soon as I picked it up. The mushroom and other vegetables in the bun weren't bad though.

On everything else I echo previous reviewers - great courtyard setting, decor, service, fries and the sauce bar is awesome. Prices are steep but portions are generous.

Let's: My Guilty Pleasure

Review of Let's Burger

I constantly think about eating healthy (keyword: "think"), and I used to see Let's as a guilty pleasure. At the end of a stressful day or when out w/friends and starving on a Sunday night, Let's is the go-to place. I tend to always order the original burger, fries or chili fries, and a diet coke. Not really the diet food any of us are looking for, but god, we only live once right?

The service is pretty good; usually, as soon as you walk in, a waitress will come up and say hello and direct you towards a table or the ordering counter.

The burger is delicious. Juicy, lots of veggies on top. The bun is good for the first few bites, but then the burger is so juicy that the bun becomes soggy and sometimes falls apart.

The fries are fresh out of the cooker, burning hot. Let them cool off and try them with the Thai hot sweet & sour sauce! That's another thing about Let's; they have a good selection of sauces for you to try.

The chili fries come in this big bowl, smothered in cheese. Share this, it's near impossible to finish by yourself.

I've also tried their fish burger (good, but I'm a red meat type of girl). Their seared tuna salad is delicious as well, has caviar sprinkled on top, nice fresh greens, but not very filling.

A friend just came up while I was writing this review, and we agreed: Let's is a little on the pricey side.

If you get what I always do: original burger, fries, diet coke, that'll run you RMB 86. [That's ~$13 for us Americans.] But the burgers/fries here are really good; there's no comparison to McD's or whatever. Also for comparison purposes, I've had the famed Daniel Boulud burger, and I would take Let's 5-1 on that. (Sorry Chef Boulud!)

Also, if you want to sit outside and enjoy the evening breeze, there is outdoor seating available in the little patio area. Great selection of jazz music, and the black and white checkered floors/green seats provide a comfortable and relaxing environment.

Decent burger and love the interior design but the price turns me off

No complaints on the taste and presentation of the burger here, and I live the interior design of the place -- reminiscent of a classic American diner -- but the price of the burger really turns me off. It's just hard to stomach the thought that you are paying more than USD 10 for a burger.

great burgers at a high price

I actually really enjoyed my sandwich today. I had heard some iffy reviews on this place being overpriced and sucking and such, but today my friend and I stopped in and we were pleasantly surprised. I have to admit, I am becoming more local all the time and the prices here are pretty high, but the french fries are really good (and made fresh)--especially topped with chili con carne. I ordered and enjoyed the chicken burger, which was a breast of chicken served on a perfectly soft bun with mozzarella cheese, coleslaw, lettuce and tomato. I was super juicy. My friend ordered the mexican burger and she said that it was the best burger shes had in Beijing. The condiment bar was a nice touch--we tried the sweet-spicy sauce and the bbq sauce (both with added hot sause) and the wasabi mayo. All were good, but could have been hotter/spicier.
Good food, decent prices and painfully high prices...whats not to love?

Too expensive !

Except for fancy packaging and charming decor, the value of the food ,the portion and taste wise dont match the price.The taste is not bad , but not so good for the price.

Let’s Burger, located on the first floor of the Nali Patio, They offer at least a dozen kind of burgers. Tried the Wgyu beef burger (RMB168). Also had their Curry Fries(served in a cup). The food is good but price is quite high compared to the quantity.

Taking a bite out of Let’s

Review of Let's Burger

My first concern when casting a critical eye upon this establishment is that the proprietors to whom I entrust my digestion appear to think the word “burger” is a verb.

Have you ever had a conversation thus:

“What shall we do for food tonight Nigel?” Your friend asks you innocently. “I’ve got an idea Seb,” you reply. “Let’s BURGER!”

“Burger off”, “Jitterburger”, “Ingrid Burgerman” - I can think of a dozen better names without a shred of industry experience.

Dining within.

A nervous member of staff asked me how many people I was, lead me to what was the only available seat in the house anyway and then informed me it was counter service only.

Admittedly, there are few things in life that give me greater pleasure than whipping a displeasing Chinese server into line with a few sharp words so I thank the management for this opportunity.

I opted for the sampler of three mini-burgers. The presentation was pleasing enough.

The foie gras burger was rather disappointing when one considers an innocent duck was force-fed grain until its distended liver became painfully engorged with hepatic steatosis for my dining pleasure. I’d like to become engorged with a delicious taste, thank you, not a bland alternative to beef.

The mini seafood burger with caviar was acceptable.

The mini "original" burger was acceptable.

I returned a second time to meet a friend. The paving outside STILL had not been completed (can’t we find a few coolies in this town?) and the pubescent security guard in uniform three sizes too big for his measly frame was surly as ever as I tethered my trusted Flying Pigeon to a secure post.

My friend was ensconced in conversation with a young lady and was rather too full of himself for my liking – perhaps the meal had left ample room?

The full-size "original" burger was acceptable.

A wide range of sauces seem tantalising though exactly how “tangy” or “zesty” can one make a burger? Perhaps the management wish to allude to the possibility of the ultimate taste explosion – a tangy, zesty, spicy, juicy, peppery, puckery burgermoth.

The range of alcoholic drinks was a pleasant surprise with many bottles having been imported from Great Britain ensuring not only an acceptable level of quality but a price that will surely keep the zhapi-and-zhongnanhai crowd at a safe distance.

Having behaved like a complete and total cad throughout my meal without raising an eyebrow from the Chinese staff I gauge they are used to dealing with a semi-respectable clientele.

All in all, if you are accustomed to fine dining but fancy slumming it in close proximity to the Tongli trough there are worse options out there.
