the BEST burger in Tokyo is by far, Kua-aina burger. Its a chain from hawaii, and there are a few locations in tokyo. Sure, they cost 1000 yen but believe me they are huge. Also have great onion rings. Theres one in omote-sando across the street from kinokuniya supermarket.. and ikisperi by disneyland, and gotanda.. Theres another near ochanomizu and one in shibuya... but its a bit difficult to exlplain where they are.
I'd go for the 1/3 pound avacado burger if i were you.

3 words.... Wendy's Classic Triple.... oh.. sorry five: with cheese.
I know its fast food, but its cheap! there's at least one wendy's i know of in roppongi, and one at the lalaport shopping center in funabashi, chiba-ken. I'm sure theres one not too far from where you live.

"Brozer's in Ningyocho is awesome. the menu is huge and the burgers are juicy."
oh yeah, i love the Brozers, but I think they made the burgers a little smaller then they were a few years ago. But still good stuff. Too bad its hard for many foreigners to find as its kind of in a back street area.

There's a nice lil spot in Shimokitazawa called "Frisco." It's owned by a Japanese guy who lived in San Francisco for a few years and missed the taste of a great USA burger. His burgers are deliciously char-broiled, which is key. Their fries and vanilla shakes are also mad tasty and authenic. Also - if you've never explored Shimokitazawa it's a cool place for the younger crowd. Check it out bro.

Forget it. If you want a massive f#%king burger hit up Monster Cafe in Shinjuku 3 chome. The damn thing is over a foot in diameter and almost 6 inches tall with 2 patties. It'll run you about 3500en and you won't be able to crap for a week!

Agreed, Kua'aina rocks the boat on this one.

This is an old thread, but I was looking for a good burger and came across this post. I went to Frisco's today, and the burger was the best I've had in five years in Japan. This web page pretty much sums it up and gives the location (it's about a 30 second walk past Mos burger on the left, although it took us a while to find Mos burger).

I've tried them all, Kua Aina is the best. The gf and I are going to Disney on Monday, we'll have to have lunch at the Kua Aina at Ikspiari.

AMEN! i was just gonna make that very sugestion. the place rocks, tho' the decor (iconic "beat"-era americana) has been toned down a little. i preferred the more helter-skelter "don quixote" approach they used to have. still, great burgers and belgian beers doth a good afternoon make (before wandering off for inogashira park, being sure to grab a beer along the way for in-park consumotion while listening to the wonderful blues stylings of the one and only "kan-chan," my hero!)...

You have to get in there early though, arrive any time after 12 and the queue gets pretty long. Plus the staff seem genuinely nice people.

Stumbled across this Hambergers in Tokyo (http://w-ice.cocolog-nifty.com/blog2/) blog, which has pictures to drool over.
Hamburgers and beer, the perfect Fathers Day gift.
I was going to say Hard Rock Cafe in Ueno until I saw the blog and AS Classics. Damn, I am SO hungry now. RELIC, it is your fault.
