KGB Kiwi Gourmet Burgers

[wasabipeanut3]

Howzit,
after 11 since I first got the idea for a gourmet burger place in Taipei and 5 years of seriously tryng to get open, me and Matt have opened.
Everyone who knows us knows how long we've been trying to get open so cheers for the support over that time. We've been open about 3 weeks and so far so good.

We're on Shi-Da Rd. opposite the Wellcome supermarket. The address is Shi-Da Rd. lane 114, no. 5. Look for the red sign with "kgb" just down lane 114.

We came up with name about 3 years ago to make it easier for both Taiwanese and forieners to remember it.

Our burgers are more in the style of NZ gourmet burgers. We only use NZ beef and we make our own beef patties. All the chicken is free range and the sauces are our own recipes. Our head chef has over 20 years experience so it makes the food consistantly to the standard we are trying to achieve and means we have a wealth of experience in our development team.

We have 2 vegetarian burgers that even I really like (I'm not a veg).

We have Monteiths, VB and soon we'll have some South African beers as soon as the shipment arrives. We also sell Rooibos tea (South Africans know what that is).
We've been stoked with all the support from everyone and gotta admit that we actually have taken in a lot of the advice and acted on it. So cheers for that.

Anyways enough blah, check us out on facebook "kgb taiwan" or just shimmy down and have a burger.

Oh yeah, the kitchen is open from 12 to 10 everyday and we close up about 11 usually.

Cheers
Antoni

Hey Antoni,
That's great news. Congratulations, and I wish you the best of luck with this.

'Gourmet' sounds kind of intimidating. I will have to hold my pinkie in the air when I eat one of those burgers.

A bit bloody stupid not posting until 18:18. I was already on my way to work and would have already passed Shi-Da Rd. Pay more attention in future, please.

PS I'll be in on Thursday for a carry-out at 18:30.

Been there about 5 times already. Love the burgers. There's about 7 varieties of beef burger, 5 chicken and two veggie burgers. I've only had the veggie burgers, but friends tell me the others are great too.

Burgers come with chips or salad and there's beers (NZ, Taiwan and Aussie), soda and a few other things available too.

It's a nice spacious cafe with a little porch for outdoor seating. The location is excellent, just a minute from Taipower MRT Exit 3.

Antoni, the boss, is a nice guy too. I've known him for ten years, so I should know

Contrary to the pics above I was pleased to see the burgers came on a plate! The food was pretty good. But $530 for lunch (burger, salad, fries, ice tea) was a bit steep esp in a place with a dodgy paint job, grubby furniture that looks picked up off the street, ciggy burns on the table tops, packing crates for a deck.

Nice start boys but you'll need to pull your socks up to keep up with the Jonese. I could eat the same lunch at Bongos over the way for half the price. No set meal will ensure the locals and students keep away which would be the death of most restraunts in Shi-Da.

Please don't take my blunt feedback personally! it is honest and sincere! I'd like to see you guys do well and still be around a year from now.
