Smash, sizzle, repeat

Burger Joint Saigon is a smash-burger specialist on Bui Thi Xuan — lacy-edged patties that long-term expats keep calling the best burger in Saigon.

Chapter The technique

The smash moment

Every patty gets smashed on a screaming-hot griddle — thin, lacy, fast.

Chapter The build

Melted cheese, always

Cheese goes on hot — it melts into every nook of the smash.

Chapter The spread

Tots on the side

Tater tots, fries, onion rings — the supporting cast of every smash.
