A bright clean burger restaurant in Wanchai, where for some reason the chairs and stools are fixed to the floor which makes for uncomfortable and anti-social dining when eating with more than one friend.
Ordering is simple and quick, prices are expensive - a single burger is $48, $20 to add fries and a coke. Two regular burgers, fries, wild fries and a coke $143!!
The kitchen is open-plan, but the staff all have their backs to customers blocking any view of the grill, instead you get to look at six asses. The burger patties being cooked look nothing like the promo video (which runs on repeat on two instore tv screens) and are about the same size as a regular MacDonald's pattie and the same thickness and texture.
The food took about 10 minutes to arrive, the fries portion sizes were much smaller than in the 'tasting photos' posted in other reviews and the wild fries topping was minimal and overly sweet - there might have been a bit of cheese amidst the very sweet 'special sauce' and caramel onions - but hard to tell. Both the regular fries and the wild fries were slightly under-cooked and cold in the centre.
The regular burgers were minute, almost 2cm smaller than the size of the bun which had little flavour or texture (missed oppourtunity to have a good tasty burger bun). The meat had little flavour, was dry with no texture and the burgers in the 'tasting review photos' look completely different to those we were served. The burger's taste and flavour was of fresh tomato and lettuce in a bun, the special sauce was obvious by it's absence.
Wanchai and Hong Kong are crying out for a good burger chain - sadly Caliburger is not it. If the burgers had been tasty and full of flavour the price wouldn't have been an issue. But they aren't and the price is very high. Sad as it is to say you can get a better burger - the quarter-pounder in MacDonalds for half the price.
A wasted oppourtunity.
