So just straight to the point this isn’t a bad review I’m leaving on this restaurant just my opinion how I feel towards this restaurant. The burger is good and the fries was well but honestly and once again my opinion it’s not the best burger in the city so I believe that “best burger in the city” really doesn’t live up to its statement! Now once again not saying it’s a horrible burger, definitely not. I rated services a three stars only because the order was completely wrong. My burger was suppose to be a bacon cheeseburger but they gave me a double cheeseburger and I also ordered for cheese fries and they only gave me regular fries. Of course I didn’t complaint or made a fuss because I’m just not that type of a negative person. I came to try out the burger at the end of the day and I paid for it and already ate into it so why complain at that rate. Overall would I come back? Yes of course, and next time I probably speak up and more clearly on my order because honestly a double cheeseburger was a lot for me lol. Definitely you can try this place out. The people there are very nice and very respectful. Full of smiles and amazing music choice. Good vibes overall.

I saw this place on a burger article and stopped by on a weekday afternoon to have something for lunch and dinner.

I was surprised to see a burger shop in Chinatown out of all the places, but after speaking to the owner, I understood the purpose since the owner wanted to revitalize Chinatown after the pandemic but didn't want to compete with the existing Chinese restaurants. Found this pretty cool.

The menu items were way cheaper than a lot of places in the city, so I can say that they are affordable.

Popcorn Chicken:
Reminded me of Taiwanese chicken bites. Batter was crispy with hints of black pepper and spices. Chicken meat was super soft. Same batter as the Chick sandwiches. Homemade special sauce added fun to texture and flavor.

Sweet N’ Spicy Chick:
Chicken thigh was big but it wasn’t overwhelming at all. Honey sriracha sauce’s sweetness and spicyness were just right. The spicy kick didn’t have me reaching for water but it was a surprise with each bite. Cole slaw did a great job of neutralizing the spicy flavor.

BBD Burger:
Tried and true formula consisting of great meat, veggies, cheese and special sauce. Buns were grilled just right, the patties held enough juice to carry a flavor punch. Combined with the special sauce, there was a good amount of umami which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Seating might get a bit hectic around dinnertime since the tables are shared with a bubble tea shop sharing the same storefront on the other side.

I would definitely visit again when I'm around Chinatown. Highly recommended.

Loved the burgers this spot is cooking up! They tasted super fresh and were loaded with bacon and toppings. Also a lot less greasy than I would have expected.

The chicken sandwich here is also very legit and very delicious, ESP that Sweet n Spicy flavor! They even have some nice side options including onions rings, perfect fries, and popcorn chicken!!

Very nice burger place. Colorful walls and inspired photos. Staff was super friendly and brought us our food and brought us our water. Incredibly helpful and friendly.... Didn't just give us a bathroom key but opened the bathroom door for my son... Burgers were very tasty. Fries were crispy and delicious... All in all a great time and place to have a burger. There are seats for about 20 people... Will be back for sure!

Small quaint space that serves no nonsense burgers. Had the bacon cheeseburger with my choice of toppings added the fries and drink to make it a combo. Burger was fresh and hot with a lot of bacon. The toppings were fresh and the mayo and mustard was not over done just enough to complement the burger. The fries were hot and fresh and well seasoned and enough to share.

Their signature smash is a no-nonsense double patty cheese burger.
The spicy chicken burger though, is basically an XXL Taiwanese chicken cutlet served in between burger buns. Really tasty and packs soke heat as well

My friend and I came and ordered to smash burgers and a large truffles fries. Let me start of by saying the burger was delicious the fries were teeeible especially the truffle sauce - which tasted more like Mayo and only covered 10 of the fries. I asked if I can get more sauce because there is hardly any on it- was told a side of the sauce is 50cents. - completely ruined the experience. - do not get the truffle fries at all!!! Definitely would not recommend. Just stick to burger and plain fries maybe.

Burger By Day is a true burger aficionado's paradise. Their burgers are nothing short of exceptional, easily surpassing even the legendary Shake Shack. Each bite is a revelation of flavor, with perfectly seasoned, juicy patties cooked to perfection. The variety of toppings and house-made sauces elevate the experience to new heights, ensuring every burger is a unique delight. The attention to detail extends to their soft, toasted brioche buns that complement the fillings flawlessly. Beyond the mouthwatering burgers, the welcoming atmosphere and friendly service create an all-around exceptional dining experience. Burger By Day is an absolute must-visit for anyone seeking burger perfection.
