So Five Guys has arrived, one of the latest additions to the current fad of American style Burger Joints. The queues are long - 30 / 40 minute wait and honestly a big let down. There are plenty of other better burger joints within Wan Chai and the greater area. Honbo, Burger Joys, Butchers Club and Shake Shack all do a better burger. One thing that is unique about Five Guys is the portion size. The normal cheeseburgers are double patty portions with the little burgers one patty size. I would act

One thing that is unique about Five Guys is the portion size. The normal cheeseburgers are double patty portions with the little burgers one patty size. I would actually recommend the little ones because it's simply too much meat... If you're looking for fillingness then look no further than Five Guys. You end up rushing to eat the burger because it's just a mess to eat - falls apart because its so big... It's more greasy than juicy...
There is a theme going on here because they certainly have exported the American Notion of "size does matter" over to the Fragrant Harbour. We ordered the large fries to share. OMG... did we just dig up a whole field in Idaho and served it up on a plate... Like I grabbed the bag and it was heavy - probably almost 2lbs.. That's a lot of fries... In the end we gave up finishing the Cajun fries as it was just too much flavouring and food. Fries are my favourite part of a burger meal but even I was defeated but the twice fried hand cut thick fries are decent, best item on the menu, not that the menu is expansive given the Milkshakes are not on offer yet.
No combos is disappointing. You have to pay HK30 for a soda which is refillable but HK30... that's more than a Mcdonalds value meal... Reality check pls.... It's self service not rip of service.... Makes me angry writing it right now that it costs HK30 for a self serve soda... We definitely needed a drink afterwards... at least Shake Shack has the decency to provide a station with self serve water....
Last but not least was the cheese sandwich. What a joke.... it really was a joke for HK45. The bun with two slices of cheese slapped in the middle. It wasn't even cooked right.. I could see the lady throwing away several tries - once I saw that I asked for the burgers and fries to be given to me straight away as not to get warm fries and soggy buns... Yeah definitely don't get the cheese sandwich - I guarantee it will be the most disappointing thing you will have ordered in a long time.
