Korean-Fusion Burger Spot Tiger Burger Now Has a Second Site on Dominion Road

Constantly making lists of the best burgers in Auckland, Tiger Burger began as a food stall back in 2014, before becoming a fully fledged sit-down Grey Lynn operation that locals attempted (and failed) to keep secret.

Mixing classic, cheesy burgs with vibrant and flavoursome Korean street food, Tiger Burger's Grey Lynn operation has a reputation for being a total crowd pleaser. The eatery focuses on locally and ethically sourced ingredients, as well as eco-friendly packaging. Menu highlights include the Cheeky Hoisin, filled with slow-braised pulled pork and the vegetarian Dubu stuffed with tofu, yang nyum glaze, and gochujang mayo.

The eatery's two sellout burgers are, of course, the Kimcheese, a twist on the classic beef and cheese combo, as well as crowd favourite, the fried chicken-filled Gang Jeong — both of which nabbed places in last year's Iconic Eats awards. Insider tip: add a slice of cheese to your Gang Jeong, and thank me later.

Now those over the other side of town are in luck, with a new Tiger Burger site opening Wednesday, January 26 on Dominion Road, (opposite New Flavour, if you need a landmark). Joining the stacked Dom Road lineup, it's the perfect site for the Korean-fusion burger joint, and just what is needed to breathe a little life into that oft-overlooked side of the street. The new site opens to the public at 5pm, so grab the crew and schedule in a little hump day treat.

Tiger Burger's second site can be found at 590 Dominion Road, where it's open Tuesday - Thursday, 5pm-9.30pm, Friday - Saturday, 11.30am -10.30pm and Sunday, 11.30am- 9.30pm. The flagship Grey Lynn store can be found at 549 Great North Road, Grey Lynn.
