Hachioji, Tokyo, Japan｜Soul Grill

This was the first place I marked on my last trip to Hachioji. Unfortunately, I didn't get to visit. On this current visit, I went there for lunch on my first day. The menu had more variety than what I expected, and a nice little secret called 8 Up. It's their secret, so I won't say what's in it but it's like a sweet citrus punch. So refreshing on a day like this! It's still warm, and humid here. They also have homemade ginger ale. There were several types of beer available, but I passed. It was before noon, it seemed too early for a beer. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato and onion, and the set (chips and coleslaw on the side). The chips were frozen, but still very good. I will go there again to try their blue cheese cheeseburger. They also serve apple pie, but I don't know if it comes with a slice of cheddar cheese. Hotdogs and sandwiches are available for takeaway. The burger set was just under ¥2000, but that's what they charge back home nowadays for lower quality, so I really didn't mind, and the beverage was ¥350. Less expensive burgers are available. Just remember, they are closed on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Fantastic tasting burger. Friendly staff. Comfortable atmosphere. No smoking inside which is key! A great selection of soft drinks. A&w root beer and Cherry Coke being stand outs. Not a massive selection of burgers but the one I had was great.

Easily one of the best Hamburger places in Hachioji. Also the chef can make incredible set of fish and chips for you if you like that instead. The food is excellent and quite easily on of my favorite places to eat in town, and I have lived here for over a decade.
