Jacoby’s. As my friend was walking by she overheard some passerby’s say, “We’re going to the Five-Star restaurant of Haebangchon.” The newest bar and burger joint in the HBC (Haebangchon) has been a crowd pleaser and has been hopping since their opening. With burgers with names like the ’I wish I was Kosher’ Reuben Burger, The Southwest Nacho Burger, and The Gut Buster Burger, you know this place has a sense a humor as well as tastes. And yes, they have milkshakes designed by the famous Elinza Pretorius. English speaking staff and menu. W4,000-15,000. PH:010-7203-0525

    oh looks so good


  3. scott

    where exactly is it located?


  4. Daniel Gray

    it is located in haebangchon. go out noksopyeong exit number 2 and walk straight. take the road that veers towards a bunch of kimchi pots. If you go about 2 blocks, you’ll find Jacoby’s on the right.

    I hope that helps and thanks for reading.
