The menu at LUXE BURGERS & Sunny’s Table Asakusa
Halal-friendly burgers infused with French culinary flair
Originally, LUXE BURGERS & Sunny’s Table began as a French restaurant.
Over the years, as they continued to operate, they built connections to source high-quality meats and breads, leading to its transformation into a burger restaurant. Of course, they are particular about their ingredients, but what truly sets this place apart is the French culinary essence infused into their burgers.

The patties come in a choice of three types, including wagyu and lamb, all made without fillers to let the natural flavor of the meat shine. The juicy patties pack in rich, savory goodness. Moreover, diners can request their preferred level of doneness when they order.
One standout French-inspired element is their homemade barbecue sauce.
The secret to this sauce lies in the fond de veau (veal stock) prepared by simmering veal bones and meat with aromatic vegetables. With added spices and other seasonings, the sauce enhances the depth of flavor of the fond de veau, achieving a richness without being overly heavy. This homemade barbecue sauce pairs perfectly with the patty, creating an unforgettable first bite.

The dining experience here has unique touches as well.
The fresh vegetables, arranged separately on the plate, are meant to be added to the burger just before eating, ensuring that they keep their crisp texture.
Alternatively, you can leave the vegetables out of the burger and enjoy them as a salad.
The special sauce that goes with the veggies is made with cream cheese and yogurt, mixed with finely chopped onions, cucumber pickles, and tomatoes. Stir well before adding it for the best flavor! This sauce also goes well with the side of French fries, adding a refreshing tang you’ll find hard to resist.

Rich, flavorful cheddar! The “Cheddar Cheese Burger” is a customer favorite
Among the 30-plus burgers at LUXE BURGERS & Sunny’s Table, one of the most popular choices is the “Cheddar Cheese Burger.”
“チェダーチーズバーガー,” Cheddar Cheese Burger 1,750 JPY (tax included)
The restaurant sources its cheddar cheese from carefully selected brands, paying close attention to the color and sheen of the cheese after cooking. This eye for quality is a point of pride for the French-trained chef, who cares about both the taste and the presentation of his dishes.
And the taste lives up to the look.
Generously spread over the patty, the cheddar cheese has a perfect balance of sharpness and depth. The homemade barbecue sauce brings out the richness of the cheese even more, creating a harmonious blend. Add in the natural flavor of the meat, and every bite is an irresistible mix of layers of flavor.
Not just halal! The “Vegetarian Burger” is just as filling and satisfying
At LUXE BURGERS & Sunny’s Table Asakusa, you can also order a burger made without any animal products, including honey. While being 100% plant-based, it’s truly hearty and satisfying. Ingredients like avocado, maitake mushrooms, and red radish add extra flavor and richness.

A standout ingredient is the fried maitake. Take a bite, and you’re greeted with the rich aroma unique to this Japanese mushroom, adding a delicious touch to the burger.
One of this burger’s highlights is the variety of textures you get in each bite. The soy-based patty is chewy, the fried maitake is crispy, and the red radish has a delightful crunch, offering an enjoyable combination of textures.
A place where everyone can share a table together
Beyond the options mentioned here, the restaurant also offers popular burgers made with Kurohanagyū wagyu, a halal-certified Japanese beef brand.
At this restaurant, there’s no need to worry about dietary restrictions or religious considerations when choosing what to eat.
Tatami seating is also available
