HONBO DNA – NO NASTIES, ONLY TOP QUALITY
Honbo’s beef is ground fresh daily in-house, free from preservatives, MSG, and additives, with each patty smashed on a flattop griddle upon order. To ensure consistency, Honbo exclusively imports its own USDA Double Gold Beef directly from Wisconsin, USA, standing as the solitary burger joint worldwide to feature this premium beef. Sourced from 36-month-old Holstein and Angus breed cattle that are fed with the finest corn, this beef from mature cattle yields a deeper depth of flavor. Honbo generously employs only the whole chuck, brisket, and short rib in the making of its burgers, ensuring a perfect balance of flavors and textures.
Sandwiching its patties are house-made potato milk buns, also made fresh daily, from an all-natural exclusive recipe developed with renowned artisanal baker Eric Kayser. The recipe gains an extra touch by using only hand-mashed potatoes prepared in-house. Honbo stands as the pioneer and patent owner of the potato milk bun recipe in Hong Kong. Taste its exclusive stamp with every bite, distinguished by a unique combination of a one-of-a-kind pillow-like texture and delightful semi-sweetness.
Everything else that makes up Honbo’s burgers is given equally as much thought with sustainably sourced greens, pickles cured in-house from Japanese cucumber, and specialty sauces hand-crafted in its very own kitchen, using a closely guarded secret recipe created by the team.
Being the sole craft burger chain in Hong Kong that serves up top-quality, all-natural, and sustainable ingredients from beginning to end, Honbo further sets itself apart through its unique infusion of local flavors and cultural influences into its menu. Every bite of their burgers delivers Honbo’s dedication to crafting its own distinctive rendition of burger perfection, an extraordinary experience that delights both the palate and the conscience, at remarkable price points.
THE HONBO SIGNATURE
Uncover every element of Honbo through its menu – created with the utmost thought and attention to detail.
The HONBO Burger range is the essence of the burger joint, a signature dish derived from the brand’s take on old-school fast food style cheeseburger. Nostalgia much?
“We take two 2oz beef patties, smash them onto the griddle, and sandwich a slice of cheese in the middle. It gives the burger double the crust and double the beef grease, but still less juicy than the Cheeseburger. The HONBO Burger is paired with our house sauce, a lot of raw onions, pickles, and no lettuce. The raw onions and pickles help cut through the greasiness, and you can really taste the crust and the meatiness." Says Honbo Founder Michael Chan.
It invites diners to taste the formula of its HONBO ($18), which comes with two crispy beef patties, cheese, pickles, onion, and house sauce. Multiply the fun with the HONBO 1.5 ($23) which comes with three patties and HONBO 2.0 ($28) which offers four patties. For those looking for a small snack, try the newly launched HONBO BB ($15) consisting of a single crispy beef patty, cheese, pickles, onion, and ketchup - it's as cute as can be!
THE HONBO MENU
There are no frills, no nasties, only straight-up quality deliciousness with each bite of Honbo’s burger. It offers a thoughtfully curated menu serving up burgers of single, double, and triple patties, alongside beefless creations and a selection of sides and drinks.
