Melts Burger

멜츠버거 서울숲 Meltseu Beogeo Seoulsup Melts is the English word — one post says the name comes from the American cheese melting into the smashed Hanwoo beef patty.

Data as of · Published ·

Melts Burger Seoul Forest is a burger shop in a basement on a residential lane off Seoulsup 4-gil. It makes smash burgers with Hanwoo beef pressed flat on the griddle; you order and collect at the counter, and three posts were told to tear open the paper bag and use it as a tray. In posts from July–August 2026 the Melts burger was 9,200 won and the classic cheeseburger 8,700 won, with 4,900 won more for fries and a drink. In October–December 2025 the menu was just a hamburger, cheeseburger and double cheeseburger, with the cheeseburger at 6,800 won. A post from 30 May 2026 said the shop was temporarily closed, and posts from July onward show it open again. We read 24 posts from 13 October 2025 to 1 October 2026 and set aside 7 that were about other places.

Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.

These hours are counted from the posts we read. Shops change them without notice — check Naver Place before you go. Place — check hours

What sets it apart

  1. Seven posts said they saw the beef's origin or grade certificate on display — a Hanwoo grading certificate by the counter in October 2025, and a sign at the entrance naming the day's beef in July 2026. The line about chilled grade-1+ Hanwoo every morning is the shop's own claim, which posts repeated, so we do not rely on it.
  2. Five posts said the kitchen is open and you can watch the burgers being made; one said staff happened to be grinding the beef when they arrived. Four of the five, though, are the look-alike posts described below.
  3. Posts split three to three on the patty: three called it thick, three called it flat, small or thin layers — the latter all explaining the smash method. Five posts mentioned juiciness.
  4. Two posts noted there are no wet wipes, and two said there is a washbasin inside the shop. One post from October 2025 counted having to go into the restroom to wash your hands as a drawback.
  5. One post (October 2025) ate there with a dog, and another saw a couple with a dog at an outdoor table. Two posts mention outdoor tables on the lane.

Getting inside

In a basement1 of 14 posts
Toilet inside2 of 14 posts

Nobody mentioned a step at the entrance, a lift, or getting in with a wheelchair or stroller. The shop is on basement level; one post went in via stairs leading down, another described it as half a floor down. We do not know whether there is any step-free way in.

Two posts said the restroom is inside the shop. Nobody said whether it is separated by gender.

No one mentioned: Second floor · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

Posts that followed a TV spot

Of the 15 posts we gathered, 1 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.

We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know

  • Four posts from July–September 2026 follow one template: the same lines about 100% Korean Hanwoo, cooking to order, new sets from June and the Apgujeong and Samseong branches, in the same order, and three of them ordered exactly a Melts burger set and a classic cheeseburger set. One is marked as sponsored. We counted them as meals eaten, but they may be one message repeated four times.
  • Waits are mixed: one post found a queue, two found the place nearly empty (a rainy afternoon, an evening). The line that peak hours may bring a wait appears almost word for word in the template posts, so we did not count it. Nobody described a waiting list or waiting area.
  • Prices depend on when. October 2025: hamburger 6,300 won, cheeseburger 6,800 won, double cheeseburger 9,300 won (15,300 won as a set). July–August 2026: classic cheeseburger 8,700 won, Melts burger 9,200 won, 4,900 won extra for a set and 3,900 won extra for a lunch set. One post about a September 2025 visit, written in July 2026, gives the 4,900 won set price, so we cannot tell which period it reflects. Two posts called it good value; none called it expensive.
  • Opening hours have changed. Two posts from October 2025 listed 11:00–22:00 daily (last order 21:30); five from July 2026 onward list 11:00–21:30, three of them adding that Mondays are closed. One post instead lists a 15:00–17:00 break on Mondays and Tuesdays, which conflicts with a Monday closure. All of these are copied info blocks, not something the writers checked.
  • Two posts went with friends and one with a partner. No post clearly ate there with children, so we do not know how it suits kids or whether there are high chairs.
  • Three posts give the same phone number, 02-464-1987. Nobody said whether reservations are taken.
