Katsu Burger & Sushi
2034 N.W. 56th St., Ballard
Katsu Burger & Sushi is a sushi bar and Japanese spot, offering burgers and more. It's the largest outpost yet for Katsu Burger, whose deep-fried, Japanese-inspired burgers have spawned five locations around the area. This location is unique, however, for the addition of a full bar and a sushi menu to the burger lineup.
Burger options include the Godzilla Attack (a deep-fried beef katsu patty topped with 12 spices, jalapenos, pepperjack cheese, tonkatsu sauce and spicy mayo), with sides like matcha milkshakes and nori fries.
Katsu Burger & Sushi's current Yelp rating of four stars out of 10 reviews indicates the newcomer is finding its way, but it's still early days.
Yelper Cindy F., who reviewed Katsu Burger & Sushi on June 28, wrote, "Whoa! Super fancy feel for a burger joint. There's a full bar, and they serve sushi, along with Japanese apps aside from their famous burgers."
Anna B. noted, "I've been to the Capitol Hill location of Katsu Burger before, and this is a great deal fancier, location-wise. The burgers were the same."
Katsu Burger & Sushi is open Monday-Friday from 4-9 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 12-10 p.m.

Lunchbox Laboratory
7200 E. Green Lake Drive North, Green Lake
Lunchbox Laboratory is a burger joint with locations in Bellevue, Redmond and Gig Harbor. Its latest location is in Green Lake, with the same menu of burgers like the Classic 'Merican (American Kobe beef, American cheese, shredded lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, bacon and Billion Island sauce) and the Burger of the Gods (American Kobe beef, crumbled bleu cheese, candied balsamic onions and "super gorgonzola spread").
Diners can also build their own burgers and milkshakes, with a variety of topping options.
Lunchbox Laboratory currently holds three stars out of 40 reviews on Yelp, indicating fair reviews.
Yelper Tanya H., who was one of the first users to visit Lunchbox Laboratory on July 3, wrote, "I had the Codfather burger, which was pretty tasty. I wish more places did fish burgers as I don't eat meat. They have veggie burgers too. It's a bit expensive for a burger and a side, but seems fairly good quality.
Bao-Han N. noted, "I do honestly have to say that it's pretty pricey here. But for someone who eats at Lunchbox Laboratory occasionally, it's worth the treat once in a while. I had the mini Tear Jerker burger (happy hour menu) with a side of sweet potato fries, the Gavacho's Totchos (super filling appetizer), and a root beer float."
Lunchbox Laboratory is open from 11 a.m.–11 p.m. daily.
