J．S． BURGERS CAFE ルミネ池袋店

This was our first stop after dropping our bags in our hotel and heading out into Ikebukuro after our 12h flight from the UK. Its in the Lumine shopping centre, just opposite the Hotel Metropolitan, and is a great spot for a loaded burger. Sure, its not a gourmet meal but it is tasty, with lots of c...hoice and fast friendly service. You take your table, and then order at the counter once you've decided what you want. All in all not a bad spot for lunch.

Another excellent burger joint in Ikebukuru. The burgers are big and massive. Always upsize the patio. The fries are a bit thin but the burger will make you forget the fires are bad. Worth the price and visit always

Had a meal here the other day. There is a ridiculous number of gourmet burger joints around Tokyo these days. This place has a couple of branches, so the fact I've never heard anyone really mention them should have been somewhat of a red flag. I had a cheeseburger with bacon as a topping. The burg...ers come with, compared with some of the other places, a decent serve of chips. I also got a side of onion rings. Let's start with them: Terrible. We didn't even get halfway through them. The batter to onion ratio was just wrong. The batter was tasteless. They were overcooked. And, they were oily. Eating just a few actually made me feel ill. On to the burger. It was definitely edible, but poorly executed and devoid of taste. The patty was overcooked, too. The bacon was all right, but that is about all I can say. My girl went for one of their specials: some kind of avocado burger, I think. She was far from impressed, too. Oh, and the Coke was overpriced and thimble-sized. We only went here as a last resort because the places we usually go to are shut on Wednesdays. To be honest, I think I would have been more satisfied with McDonald's or Burger King. And, that's saying something. At least I could have had a decent-sized Coke for a third of the price. I was going to give it a 3-star rating, but as I wouldn't go there ever again, nor recommend it, I went for a 2.
