Fire House

In all honesty, there are many hamburger places in Tokyo now that serve better hamburgers, although this place used to be one of the most famous ones in Tokyo. It is still a decent place to have hamburgers, hot dogs, fried chicken, etc., so if you happen to come to this area, I have no hesitation to suggest you check out this place. My favorite dish here was actually fried chicken.

BOMB BURGERS IN TOKYO, WHAT!
Alright there comes a point when you tire of ramen and sushi and rice and stuff. What does an American in Japan want when this takes place? BURGERS. This place is f*ck!ng fantastic. They know how to make a mean juicy burger that tantalizes and isn’t dry. Many many options and they’re willing to work with you on additions (more cheese) and subtractions (no onions).
I had the mushroom mozzarella burger and baby let me tell you, fantastic. Truly wish we had discovered this earlier as we would’ve hit it up way more often. French fries from the gods, too! Can’t go wrong.

The best burger ever!
You will not believe you can get the best burger in japan, not in the states.

As many Tokyo Unilocalers might know I cycle around Tokyo quite a lot so places that seem out of the way if you take the subway/​train become the destination of my riding shenanigans!
I’d read about Firehouse in Timeout Tokyo burger listings and first came across the store while riding with a friend.
Today was my third visit and after a 14 km ride (about 40−45mins) boy was I hungry! First things first THEY HAVE MILKSHAKES!!! Chocolate milkshake served in glass, not a metal milkshake tumbler but pretty good. Lunch Monday to Friday 11:00 — 16:00 they offer discounts for lunch sets on extras such as drinks, soups and desserts (milkshake not included!) making lunch better value. Expect to pay ¥200-¥300 for drinks.
Burgers range from ¥990 up to ¥2180 (Mad Burger — 3 patties!) served with French fries that are a good thickness and a small portion. I like leaving the chips towards end as the juicy goodness dripped from the burger add to the tastiness!
Last tip — get here before 12pm or after 1pm to avoid the local lunch rush.

Really nice and juicy burgers! The buns are really tasty and soft. If you are in the area it is definitely worth a visit if you crave a awesome burger in Tokyo!

Since I arrived in Tokyo I have been craving a burger. A few google searches brought this place to my attention. My friends and I made the not-​so-​speedy metro commute to Fire House. Totally worth the hike! Best burger I’ve had in years. Perfect pattie — slight charcoal on the outside and pink and juicy inside. Oozey cheese, Japanese mayo, thick cut tomato and crunchy iceberg. Especially loved the tiny diced onion with pickle in there. The soft buns were definitely baked local, too. Southern inspired music and décor put an extra ‘comfort’ in this episode of ‘comfort eating’. Good chance ill be back here before I leave Tokyo

One of the best burgers in Tokyo.
This is pretty close to the Todai Hongo campus. This is one of the first place our senpai took us to.
Expect a bit of a line on the weekend, usually not too bad.
The burgers are the highlight here, although everything else I’ve had is delicious.

Whoa, this was a bit of a hike. It was pretty good though! If you’re looking for an amazing burger, it really might be worth your while. My friends had the applerella and the apple burger and though it might sound strange, it was nicely balanced. I myself had the tuna melt sandwich and I was damn happy with it.
The restaurant itself is cute and near a university so I can imagine that it would get quite busy though it was quiet on a Monday evening. I would definitely stop by again if I was in the area. Best to catch the Marinouchi line if you crave burgers.

This place is about a 10 min walk from Korakuen, and we had this on our list. Convenient!
It’s a super cute, cozy little burger joint and they had their Halloween decorations all set up. You really get that old school feel when walking inside.
We were seated right away, and we decided to split a burger. Y’know, the save room for more food later!
We got the:
Mad Burger 2,354 Yen. Includes-​3 Patties, chili beans, cheddar cheese, egg,
We also ordered a side of onion rings with their house made ranch. Our rings came out first, and they were the perfect crunchiness. I also loved how the whole onion didn’t come out when you took a bite. That irks me like no other!
Their ranch had an interesting flavor. Kind of tartar sauce-​y flavored, but still had that ranch flavor as well. I surprisingly kind of skipped on it.
Our burger came out and it was definitely huge! It comes with fries and a sliced pickle. We ate it pretty freakin’ quickly and it was good! I definitely wouldn’t say it’s THE BEST burger, but a good burger nonetheless. It could’ve had more seasoning on the meat.
Overall, yummy!

Visited Fire House on a business trip per a locals suggestion. It was a little out of the way, but definitely worth it! The burgers were cooked to perfection and they have a great variety of different burgers.

The best burgers in Tokyo. Hands down. Yes, Hongo-​sanchome is a bit of a hike for some (it is ~3 stops past Tokyo on the Marunouchi line, kind of near Tokyo Dome). But the burgers are incredible, as are the milkshakes. The restaurant itself is small but cosy; they play country and western on the radio, befitting the American theme. What makes the burgers so good is the special seasoning they put on them while they’re cooking (some kind of special pepper combo).
If only I still lived in Tokyo, I would come here all the time…
